Tbh,I like the idea of Dick leaving Batman not cause he hates or despises him but cause he wants his own path but he still loves him as his Dad.

Been watching batman the brave and the bold (animated series)

This show was really fun and did a great job showcasing the crazy amount of rogues batman has along with his relationships with the dc heroes. Each relationship was different snd unique.

Today has shown just how apathetic many people in the fandom can be toward another human being's situation, and it is truly shameful.

On the other hand, I am glad there are those who empathize and wish Matt Reeves and his family the best. I wish him well and hope his issue is resolved soon.

However, I cannot help but feel disgusted seeing people prioritize an movie, whatever is The Batman Part ll or Brave and the Bold, over another person's health. Or not caring how passionate a director is about his film, wanting to cancel him simply because the saga is apparently an obstacle to their precious DCU Batman.

It is ironic, really: for all the talk about "letting him cook" or the importance of a director's vision, it seems none of that matters when it conflicts with one's own personal desires.

I’m sorry, but I felt this needed to be said. It is a disgrace that within a fan community, ironically, one centered on a character whose greatest quality is compassion, there are people who downplay someone else's personal struggles.

Because if that is how they behave, they have no right to criticize the cult-like following of a certain director, not when they themselves are so indifferent.

I'm sorry, but I felt I had to say it and vent about these horrible attitudes.

Hot take, but I think starting the DCU Batman with Damian Wayne is a bad move. You’re skipping way too much

Matt Reeves stepping away from The Batman Part II for a family matter is bigger than a movie, and some of the reactions are a bad look

Filming on The Batman Part II has been paused while Matt Reeves deals with a family matter. DC Studios says he has their full support and they plan to pick it back up soon. No details, no timeline, and none of us are owed any.
I've been reading the comments, and some of them are honestly kind of depressing. "Another delay??" "At this rate we'll get it in 2035." "Just hand it to someone else."

Come on!

This is a real person with a family going through something serious enough to stop a major movie in the middle of filming. You don't press pause on a production this size lightly. Hundreds of crew members, the actors, and everyone around Reeves are affected too. Whatever he's dealing with, it's happening to his family or himself! Other humans, not to a release schedule.

A movie can wait. Family stuff can't. If you had a loved one going through something serious, would you want your boss, or millions of strangers online, complaining that you weren't at work?

I love Batman too. I loved The Batman, and I'm excited for the sequel! But if your first reaction to "a man is dealing with a family emergency" is being mad your favorite character's sequel isn't coming out fast enough, it might be time to step back. I think it says a lot about how little sympathy we have for each other now, especially online, where creators feel more like content machines and we forget that they’re human beings.

Reeves made one of the best comic book movies in years because he takes his time and cares about the work. Let him take the time he needs for the people he cares about. The Batman will still be there.

Wishing him and his family the best. 🦇

In Batman 1989, how did Bruce know Joker's identity before investigating?

I'm trying to establish some in-universe logic for Batman 1989. When Bruce Wayne gets home after witnessing the Joker and his goons kill Vinnie and his men in front of City Hall, Bruce tells Alfred he just found out Jack Napier is still alive and running Grissom's men. First of all, how did Bruce know the Joker was Jack Napier (who by all accounts should be dead)?

Along with the disfigured features from the plastic surgery, Jack is covered in makeup with green hair, and Bruce wasn't very close to him. In universe, does his new look conceal his identity, or not?

The following scene showing the TV news coverage doesn't mention that it was Jack Napier who committed the act, and he is consistently called the Joker by the media for the rest of the movie, so it seems the media doesn't know Jack is the Joker.

And along those lines, how did Bruce make the leap that Jack is running Grissom's men? Did he also assume the goons were Grissom's men dressed up like mimes?

Do you consider mob bosses like Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni to be members in Batman’s rogues gallery?

Kilmer's Mask fit better than anyone else's

Despite a potentially lacking film, I believe the panther suit is simply tailored better to Kilmer face better than any batsuit since.

Keaton's suits sort of led to this perfection and went through their own trial and error with Batman Returns being a clear improvement.

Clooney's suit suffers from his big head (no offense mr clooney).

Bale's always looked awkward in the mouth area and then in the eye area when he wears his first suit in TDK. What were they thinking? His eyes look like they're too close together because there's so much space around them! His second suit's mask pushes his face skin out like it's squeezing him.

Affleck (the first suit, the rest are terrible) and Pattinson's suits are great improvement on everything before, imo but the mask here is just simply better tailored to this man's face.

I'm not quite sure what it is, maybe the simplicity? I wouldn't mind something similar in the DCU in terms of quality. Am I insane?
