The Batman (June 25, 2021)

I want to army build Riddler's minions. Then people would come into my house and see rows and rows of Gimp suit men lining the walls and think that's so badass, lol.

So what is everyone doing as far as collectibles? Preordering all the Hot Toys reveals or waiting to see what Queen Studios' 1/6 scale figures look like???

They've already shown that they have the rights to make Batman characters.

I don't preorder unless I can snag a coupon. Just too many made for SS for me to give them any money this early. In for Batman regular, Batcycle. Not sure about a huge Batmobile with a $1000-$1500 before taxes or shipping, even though it is my favorite over the Keatonmobile now. Everyone else doesn't have an appealing costume yet for me. QS still has a lot to prove to me, so I'm sticking with my HT.

Lord have mercy the kitty is fat

In all seriousness I'm down for at least the Bat, the Cat, and the Penguin.

Part of me kind of wishes that they could have found a way to have Penguin up on that catwalk with Bats*, Selina, and the Riddler cronie just to have them all together at the end. Obviously from a narrative standpoint that moment was perfect as it was but it would have been cool to see nonetheless.

*For the first time since before the Nolan movies I actually want to refer to the main character as Batman instead of Bruce!

While checking out Khev’s gimp Riddler collection ...

Well catwoman or riddler wasn’t announced but that one guy from that super popular eternals movie was teased. So… yay I guess

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

WB - Let's take one of the best actors in the business and make him useless for 2 and a half hours by covering his face.

My favourite contrast of the film. Officer Martinez calls Batman a "freaking psycho" (or words to that effect):

Then later is all:

Martinez cracked the case thanks to his uncle!

Watching the new Ms. Marvel trailer while still buzzing on The Batman:

Arishem watching "Kamala" (the single most hated female name in all of America right now, lol) praying to Allah:

It’s funny cause ledger and pheonix raised the bar for joker so high that anybody who takes on the role for joker takes it on as a serious oscar type thing. I don’t think anybody views joker as a comic villain in film anymore. Plus that whole fall in acid and turn into a crazy clown origin was stupid and I hope we never see that again lol.

Leto is a better Joker than Phoenix

Poor JAWS waiting for someone to agree with his ridiculous post.

This is the one that doesn't belong.

I loved that guy. Totally funny when he will learn that Batman IS Mr. Wayne. I can't wait.

Batman Begins sets up the greatest comic villain ever.

The Batman sets up Officer Martinez's egg on face.

Poor JAWS waiting for someone to agree with his ridiculous post.

I'll do the honors. Phoenix is no joker. Just some deranged, down on his luck guy needing a break. If the guy had a stable job without getting treated like crap, he wouldn't have gone over the edge.

Looks incredible.

Got back from a second viewing last night at the newest theater in town. The A/V quality was still not up to snuff.

Should I be expecting OLED quality in a theater? Both times I've seen the film the title card is red text on dark grey, I'm expecting red on black.
