In fairness…so much of TDKR was dumb and weird, haha.

Totally fair.

Pattinson had an interview with an interesting perspective on the “No-Kill Rule,” which is that he’s so rigid about it because he knows that if he kills even one of them, he’ll never be able to stop.

Haven’t seen it (obviously) but Pattinson’s interpretation sounded a little closer to TH White’s Lancelot - an unstable man who enjoys hurting people, and hates himself for it.

Honestly, I’d say that the “only Conroy really nailed it” take is more about holding subsequent actors to an unfairly high standard, haha.

…I’m not certain Bruce does “think he can fix the broken.”

Yeah, I’m interested to see how it ends up working - Bats getting worse at Bruce-Wayne-ing because he’s so consumed by The Mission is an interesting idea, if executed properly.

My favorite onscreen Batman moment is when he’s unmasked in front of Lois…and he immediately drops his Bruce Wayne voice in their future interactions.

Yeah, part of what makes the relationship fun is that Bruce responded to the random cruelty of the world with self-annihilation in the service of an impossible dream, while Selina just said “Fuck it. The world is broken, so I’ll do whatever the hell I want.”

CAN WE TRUST HIM???

From what I’ve seen in Pattinson’s interviews, his hook into the character is that Bruce is fucking nuts, haha.

It’s been a while since I last read Long Halloween…but isn’t part of the overall arc across it and Dark Victory that Bats starts neglecting his Bruce persona, until meeting Dick helps balance him out?

No one’s saying they hate “all of his work.”

From what I understand, opinions of the ending are a pretty exact split between single and married people:

Great article! Hawke and Linklater are hands-down my favorite actor-director pairing…although I’d posit that Hawke has always been quite a capable actor!

I mean, it seems like Ferrell has moved on, haha…and I kinda doubt McKay’s spending months airing their dirty laundry to reframe it as Ferrell being bitter about not getting the part has Ferrell saying “Man, I really wish Adam were still in my life!!!”

I mean…that’s not what it’s about, haha?

Was about to say - wait until people realize 37 year old Mandy Moore plays 45 year old Justin Bartley’s mother on This is Us!

Lawrence’s character in SLP is supposed to be in her 20s…

He was explicitly trolling when he called himself a TERF, because he thinks it’s funny to piss off self-righteous (white, straight) neckbeards like the Hughes and Barsantis of the world…and he doesn’t really care who else he hurts in the process, because he’s a dick.
