I am excited to see the Batman story continue to go further into the dark side of the character.
I’d like to see an entire film of Gotham’s hero alone in his room listening to Nick Drake records, weeping and eating all the scones.— Marcoooos! (@marcusbrig) August 23, 2020

Is the next Batman movie:
A dark, gritty reboot of the last movie?
A sombre, brooding rebuke of the previous one?
A blustery, noodling reimagining of the original?
A shy, psychopathic assassination of the entire concept?
A soporific, constipated regurgitation of a bad lunch?— paul bassett davies (@thewritertype) August 23, 2020

Wife: Is he called Batman because he flies at night?
Me: Kinda. But mainly a traumatic childhood bat thing
Wife: So Spiderman had a traumatic spider thing?
Me: No. Bitten by radioactive spider
Wife: So is Antman childhood trauma or radioactive bite?
Me: No

Batman should use his enormous wealth to buy 30-50 feral hogs and let them loose in Arkham Asylum, one of them with a saddle for Batmite

I've seen the new Batman. In the first 5 mins Bruce Wayne's secret identity is revealed when someone notices him and Batman both wear converse with "Love" & "Hate" written on the white bits in sharpie. The rest of the movie is him telling Alfred "it's not a phase" while crying

if you would have told me when I was 8 that Trevor from Eastenders was gonna end up in a fancy Batman movie I would’ve said “I’m not allowed to talk to strangers, I’m only 8.”
