I can see that working. With Batman’s newfound public trust, Bane would be a great villain to target him and systematically strip all that away.

Yea, I’d heard about it, and went with a non-AMC chain to see The Batman. They are basically imposing a Popular Movie Tax

If they’re trying to get audiences to come back to the cinema long-term, this might not be the best way?

I think I understood that Reeves wasn’t implying Joker was next. Just throwing in a little fun. Maybe because it wasn’t a post-credits scene, I guess. This is the language of movies now, as I understand it, thanks to Marvel.

Well they turned the Ice Club Lounge from a swanky elitist club where mobsters can rub elbows to a rave where kids can party, so who’s to say The Court of Owls won’t be tweaked a bit to avoid redundancy

Somehow Batman Begins is still the only one of these movies that’s actually about Bruce Wayne, which is why it is the film with the strongest overall narrative imo. The ending tease was great, for a lot of reasons (it’s one of his trademarks, it doubles as a pun, it’s a wink to the audience, etc) but I think above all…

The Animated Series, overall, but in the movies, I can’t believe I might be leaning towards Pattinson myself. He’s kind of a dick to Alfred, tho

For all the fuss that came about Affleck’s casting at the time, I was in the minority of supporting it, because I’m in the minority of actually liking his Daredevil movie, and feeling that would translate easily. It didn’t.

I think the reason Batman retiring didn’t bother me at the time, was because the alternative was that the film had just killed him off, and that would have infuriated me, lol. So in a way, thanks to a well-placed swerve, TDKR cleverly side-stepped fan outrage, presenting, what I considered at the time to be a…

It’s truly a shame Newmar didn’t get to do the movie. With no offense meant to Ms. Meriwether, my first reaction to when she showed up was very much “Who the fuck is this??” (She did a good job though)

-The best ‘hitman’ Zsasz was on Fox’s Gotham. But yes, I’d love to see the Red Dragon version.

How do you feel about “the setting is a character”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so watching the embedded video (without the context of my hating everything I’d been seeing up to that point) actually makes it clearer to me what Thurman was trying to do, and I’m kind of facing an epiphany about her performance right now. Holy crap, I think I... get it?

I don’t get it either. Eisenberg is widley considered one of the worst miscasts in superhero movies- and for good reason, based on that twitchy performance. It’s like saying Topher Grace was a great Venom, actually. Shouldn’t Top 10 rogues actually have chemistry with their heroes?

Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman arguably saves The Dark Knight Rises. She steals every scene she’s in and she’s sexy af. What you talkin’ bout, Willis?

Their embedded video shows him doing magic for Baby Bruce and strangling a guy I refuse to believe is Alfred. It’s an odd inclusion. As are the justice league ones

I didn’t hate him either. I’d go so far as to say his scenes are the only interesting ones in Suicide Squad because the gang itself pretty much sucked. (and I was someone against having a Joker in the movie at all.) The main problem was his design. But he was written in a way that brought appropriate chaos to the…

And they should have crossed them off. They’re the thinnest of connections for ridiculous padding. Yet Gamble and Lao from TDK are completely snubbed.

Agreed about Mask of the Phantasm. I was only 11, but this was the film that made me wonder if maybe its time the Joker dies once and for all. The theatrical release and stakes of it certainly lent it that kind of weight. What a movie

Billy Dee Williams as Two Face would have been the coolest cat in the room. Certainly too cool to fit in with Joel Schumacher’s zany take on the material. As much as I like the idea, I honestly don’t know how it would work.
