The last time we got a winter themed Batman sequel though 👀

No yeah you're right. I thought you meant in terms of like "villain does the big thing"-ness

And yeah just arkham chicago

Feel like Phantasm is the easy answer.

The Man Who Killed Batman or Feat of Clay

I can’t help but wonder if they’re gonna remix a bit of Arkham Origins in there. I followed the co-writer on Twitter for a while and he LOVED that game. Tweeted about it any chance he got lol

Nah I was moreso pointing out how Riddler kind of won and what that means in terms of consequences and escalation

I could see it with these aesthetics

You made the point that Reeve’s realism and Nolan’s feel distinctly different and I agree

Nolan’s seems to take place like deadass in America (what with using Chicago and Detroit and s***) Reeve’s made his own Gotham to play with realism in which is nice and gives its different feel than TDK trilogy. His world/ Gotham feels pretty realized and living as its own being not a standard backdrop city. Maybe there’s some room for some less than “real” stuff in there since it’s not clearly not the real world in the same way as TDK was and he is just purposely misleading us

Hopefully that makes sense idk if I explained that well

Phantasm or the Freeze episode of TAS

Then you're right

think about that statement lmao
what mgs villain would work trying to make realistic

That was fun

The Harvey dent/2 face 2 parter of the animated series is by far my favorite, probably followed by the clayface 3 partwr

"Bruce? What ah you doing dressed up as batman?"

"YOU GAVE ALL THE SIGNALS!"

Walken dismissing Bruce with the ultimate disrespect "YAWN" God I love this movie

Everyone saying Phantasm when Joker is literally a major player in it

reeves batman actually learn things and has an arc too, batman begins has veeeerrryyyy little character growth for bruce

His arc was discovering he didn't actually have to save Rahs Al Gul when about to die. At the start of the movie he didn't know that

the whole thing with the dc universe is the comic book s*** exists in harmony with the grounded s***. it’s fantastical and realistic that’s what sets it apart from everything else

LMFAO

Think that's the main reason batman and his world/villains have so much crossover appeal compared to other heroes

Half them niggas are literally just terrorists who blow s*** up.

What is so fantastical about a nigga like Revolver Ocelot or Liquid Snake besides Snake being a clone lol. The final boss from MGS3 was a woman who did CQC lol

Riddler flooded Gotham at the end of the movie bro

I’m f***in dying

They really tried to market this movie with McDonald’s toys lmao

I'm sure the kids loved seeing a bloody Penguin fall to his death with sad tragic music playing and sad penguins carrying him away

I love The Batman. It’s my favorite Batman film because it’s actually about Batman. Reeves’ movies may be grounded, but it feels heightened compared to Nolan’s trilogy. My overall point was the legacy of The Dark Knight has been more of a net negative as opposed to positive. A lot of people view The Dark Knight as a big watershed moment that gave comic book films credibility. In a way, sure, but it feels like it was embarrassed to be a true Batman movie. The Batman clearly wasn’t.
