Probably far less than if it were a standalone movie. The shows aren’t really pulling the audience that the movies do and tying story to a subscription and 3 seasons and multiple shows worth of information will probably put people off

sage sleet
#

True was thinking the same

valid thunder
#

I mentioned the show because i like it alot. Other than that mike flanagan is a good writer and director.

main lion
#

Movies are a bigger barrier to entry in the period where it counts most (in theaters)

#

Tv shows are easily accessible

frank rivet
#

For viewers or for creatives ?

#

Lol the last couple have not been a hit.

modern lichen
#

watched red rooms

#

fucked up

main lion
#

Also I dont think many can pull off something as near perfect as The Penguin was

#

Still kinda scared about them doing a season 2 since it didnt seem to need it

frank rivet
#

hmm fair enough I can see that

slim dome
#

is irishman good?

modern lichen
#

yes

frank rivet
#

Even though it's pretty lengthy, it goes by fast

modern lichen

#

i want to read more doctor strange, recommend me a run that isn't too heavy on origin story. I want something more like a Year 2 etc

#

people say Jed MacKays run is pretty good

slim dome
valid thunder
#

also doctor strange and doctor doom: triumph and torment

frank rivet

yeah it was good

frank rivet

I already watched the Depp one

#

In theaters too when it came out

#

With Eva green

south hatch
#

#

that was so good esp the music in it, Eva reprising a good role after a long time

#

I need some comedy / dark horror movie but keeping horror aspects lowkey.

foggy mirage

#

I love lex luthor

south hatch
#

Let us wait some director to cook

frank rivet
#

Thank God I have justice league to binge

Lmao

#

Justice league show ||he suffers from the fact superman is more popular and they dont want him to show him up.||

#

Have you read dc comics ?

#

And noticed how captain atom is a joke

#

DC comics ||he literally dies the exact same way in almost every universe where he's cut or ripped apart and blows the hell up.||

frank rivet

foggy mirage
#

And in the spirit of the showa era

#

Snyder stuff is just kinda there

main lion
#

Idk the categories of each one Im just thinking of the one I watched in like the 2010s? Or so

frank rivet
#

Wait wait Godzilla is cool you take him out of this

main lion
#

Seemed to have a streak of very generic godzilla movies

frank rivet
#

Minus one is a masterpiece

main lion
#

Thats why I said the slop ones

#

I wasnt calling godzilla slop

foggy mirage
#

It depends like I said

#

The new legendary ones

#

Where zilla a fatty

#

Are more showa era

main lion
#

Same mfs that fuck with rampage

foggy mirage
#

Nah rampage is just ass

main lion
#

So is man of steel

foggy mirage

#

Rampage was straight ass

main lion
foggy mirage
#

These are the current zillas

#

Legendary is the American one since 2014

frank rivet
#

lol I fuck with it Icl

foggy mirage
#

I fuck with all of them

#

American one is that classic zilla stuff

main lion
#

Im thinking of the 2014 and 2019 ones

#

American films

#

I know the jp ones are good

foggy mirage
main lion
#

That 2014 one was ass

foggy mirage
#

Jp did the same shit america does

#

Hence why I said showa era

#

They did kong vs zilla originally

frank rivet
main lion
#

Why you being so pedantic. I just said the slop godzilla movies

#

Im specifying the non good ones that are generic action…

#

They just have the same boring drab vibe as snyder shit

Oh no hes here too

I dont think power rangers is desirable

frank rivet

Not anymore

main lion
#

Maybe animated it could make a comeback lol

foggy mirage
#

The movie was just straight ass

#

And barely anything like the source material

outer wing
main lion
#

I dont think a power rangers movie in the same tone and style of actual power rangers

#

Is capable of being actually good

#

Power rangers IS bad

foggy mirage

But its nostalgic

65% audience score WTF on RT, man I must of had my nostalgia glasses on because I really liked the movie 😔

I heard it was good though from reviews

The sequel is happening

#

Its just a question of who the villain will be

frank rivet

lol shredder 🤣

There's a 100% chance it's shredder

You arent a tmnt

#

I liked em being kinda shitty loser kids in the first movie I hope they get a bit cooler in the second

#

They got thru their origin story

foggy mirage
#

And they are actually teens

#

All their actors are like 16 to 15

#

Last I checked

outer wing
foggy mirage
#

I dont mind they always look different

#

Plus not the first time they have been 3d

outer wing
#

They could’ve copy the spiderverse type visuals but they chose that. 😬

foggy mirage
#

Ones I grew up with anyways

frank rivet
#

Icl as a kid I didn't appreciate this show

#

but it was a banger

#

They use to play it way too much on fox kids and I hated it was always before stuff like Yugioh

maybe it is time to switch ICANT to another genre of movies eh

nocturne needle
#

equally horrifying the movie is as old as it is

south hatch
#

well there are multiple parts (4 I think I have seen just first 3)

#

can get scary ngl

nocturne needle

The first one was so good

south hatch

most movies never match up with their first part, but in case of conjuring yep

@south hatch @foggy mirage The rock was holding them hostage 🤣
Black Adam -

Elite rage bait

#

What movie was this from

modern lichen
#

ZSJL

near echo
#

Guy says in the comments that sci-fi and fantasy should never mix, claims that Man of Steel is hard sci-fi, and then makes fun of people crying that he's a Nazi when they didn't do that

#

So I get the impression he's a huge fucking moron

modern lichen
#

DC general || Amazonians and Greek deities in the various DC universes use magic, which are weaknesses to Kryptonians, akin to the effect Kryptonite has so it doesn’t make any fucking sense for them to be ancient Kryptonians ||

near echo
#

DC ||also it just shrinks the scope of the universe down to an extent that's incredibly boring||

modern lichen
#

In the thread he calls subtext and magic to be lazy writing because it doesn’t have clearly explainable rules but then is pointed out to having a Berserk pfp

near echo
#

Snyder's a genius for turning these childhood picture book characters into postmodern legends like a 21st century Greek Pantheon

But also I want hard rules and sci-fi explanations for every facet of the universe all connected by a singular origin point so it makes sense, mysticism is lazy writing

#

???

young compass
#

It came out in like 2013

modern lichen
#

I mean, for a person born in 2003 and who was 10 at the time in 2013, the movie is like old in retrospect I guess

young compass
#

I’ve just never heard someone refer to something from then as like old and therefore ineffective

#

Films from 2013 look largely the same as now

copper phoenix
#

if ur born before 2010 ur basically a fossil now

sonic tree
#

I think he meant it in like

#

Isn't it scary how 2013 was 12 years ago

#

Not wow I can't believe a movie from 2013 can still be scary

frank rivet
foggy mirage
#

Holy mother of god

#

😭

#

This shit doesn't matter anymore cause that universe dead

#

But goddamn Snyder you the king of bad ideas

#

😭

foggy mirage

But not suprised Snyder can barely read the dark knight returns

frank rivet

#

@frank rivet @near echo @modern lichen @south hatch

#

This interview gives you a window into how bad of a decision it was to hire him

#

Doesn't like comics

#

Only read stuff like heavy metal magazine

#

And was edgy af even in board school

modern lichen
#

snyder is a himbo

#

he doesn't understand the exact implications of his imagery even if its earnest

south hatch
#

so basically he was making up random mythology for the movies and verse on his own and it does not even narratively make sense considering the DC comics got alternate storylines

modern lichen
#

the tweet i posted is a scrapped idea

#

which idiot snyder fans think works well

thorn elk

#

The Long Halloween end ||was good. Felt a little repetitive for a bit there with the monster of the week format, but I liked how it tied together in the end. Dent has strong characterization in this. The twist at the end was surprising with the wife being the original Holiday, and Harvey taking over later. But I don't really understand how that makes sense. I don't think it ever explains how Alberto is alive if Harvey was supposed to have started with him? Is it implying they had an agreement? Or was his wife's hypothesis about Harvey taking over after her wrong||

#

overall good. Year One better, but this was good.

#

@modern lichen

Awesome

I’ll have to reread to answer that lol it’s been a while

#

I’ll definitely return on that

main lion
#

ahhh gotcha ICANT

#

no worries

modern lichen
#

Sorry about that lol

#

Also maybe reading Dark Victory will answer some of the queries you have since it’s a seamless story back to back

foggy mirage
#

Ngl idk why you'd pick anything else on this list

#

Everyone in gotham would sleep soundly if that clown wasnt crazy anymore

modern lichen
#

The Batman/Superman 2025

main lion
#

and just read that physical too

foggy mirage
#

The batman 2022 i see the vision

main lion
#

god

#

The Batman and The Penguin are so good tho...

modern lichen
foggy mirage
#

Need dcu batman moving like this

modern lichen
#

For sure

#

We need a more gothic creature of the dark though Battinson fulfilled that requirement

foggy mirage
#

Well dcu batman has to be a beast

#

He's fighting actual super villains

main lion
#

The Batman/Penguin / Long Halloween/Year One ||made the best of the Carmine plotline. From what I read of the interview in The Long Halloween, apparently Carmine was literally created for Year One just for the sake of the worldbuilding etc and then the first time he was actually prominent in a story was Long Halloween? So its really cool what they managed to create from that in The Batman. ||

modern lichen
#

The Batman || also the Catwoman connection is genius imo ||

main lion
#

yup

modern lichen
#

Seeing you praise Batman is weird bro ngl

main lion
#

The Batman/Long Halloween ||I havent read Dark Victory yet but Catwoman saving Sofia Falcone at the end of Long Halloween seemed to imply their connection already||

foggy mirage
#

He's the average detached cape shit enjoyer harsh

#

Batman was always acceptable geek stuff since 89

main lion
#

I just like the street level stuff, and batman as a character is cool

#

Id probs like daredevil

#

Id imagine

foggy mirage
#

I like daredevil a lot

#

To the point I read all his runs

modern lichen
main lion
#

yezzir

#

dark victory is longer?

#

or just more extras

modern lichen
#

It’s longer

main lion
#

oh damn

#

thats exciting

foggy mirage
#

Tbh I always tell people to read the Miller run

#

And born again

main lion
#

Id probs like it. Miller's writing and tone setting is why I really liked Year One

foggy mirage
#

Thats like always a must read regardless

main lion
#

will follow harsh's list first

#

although I saw suggestions to read The Killing Joke before Long Halloween?

#

idk if I shouldve

modern lichen
#

Meh

#

It doesn’t matter tbh

foggy mirage
modern lichen
#

Long Halloween

white smelt
modern lichen
#

The spreads go so hard in physicals

main lion
#

I just saw that it apparently The Killing Joke ||follows up directly from the last line of Year One mentioning the poisoning of the water||

#

so it seemed to be intended as a direct sequel

modern lichen
#

It’s a completely different creative team

modern lichen
#

So you can choose to think of it as such but it’s not like hard coded

main lion
#

fine with me if that was the intention

foggy mirage
#

Killing joke can be read by itself

main lion
#

so any extra continuity would help

#

lol

modern lichen
#

DC is awesome at standalone stories

#

Which is more welcome for first time readers

main lion
#

marvel seems to be about continuity from the little spiderman Ive read over the years

modern lichen
#

Marvel doesn’t have as many iconic standout stories like that

main lion
#

very little tho

#

lol

foggy mirage
modern lichen
#

Yeah it’s dependent on context and continuity with Marvel

foggy mirage
#

Because thats not happening for any big comic

foggy mirage
#

Planet hulk

white smelt
#

The way you should read comics is just enjoy the rare good writing team and consider whatever you like canon even if it contradicts

modern lichen
#

Not even close to the number with DC

foggy mirage
#

Born again

main lion
#

I read a chunk of Ultimate SPiderman a long while back (I think) and it seemed to be continuous

foggy mirage
#

Im ngl

modern lichen
#

I’m a huge fan of the ones you mentioned

white smelt
#

Because every character you like probably has 100 times more bad stories than good ones

modern lichen
#

Yeah

#

Daredevil is the Marvel character who consistently always gets good runs lol

foggy mirage
#

If you said otherwise

modern lichen
#

More than even DC characters

foggy mirage
#

I was gonna air you out

#

Lmao

#

Because we know saying otherwise is bs

white smelt
#

I don’t like bendis at all so I would disagree lol

modern lichen
#

I’ve been reading comics since I was 5 I know what I’m talking about

white smelt
#

That dude sucks

modern lichen
#

I really like the bendis run

#

But I don’t like any of what he did outside

foggy mirage
#

Bendis is good when the editor is on his ass

main lion
#

Im already rolling my eyes at the DCU finding out that (DCU) ||season 1 of peacemaker is canon despite having characters from the old universe lol. And apparently they just said like "ye just ignore the parts that mention those characters"||

#

so cringe

modern lichen
#

Maleev also kinda carried that run ngl

white smelt
#

Bendis is unironically the hxh yap meme

foggy mirage
#

Red hates any continuity

#

😭

white smelt
#

You’ll get one single pose from maleev and like 10 paragraphs in speech bubbles

main lion
#

Im mad its not PROPER continuity

white smelt
#

Fuck bendis

foggy mirage
#

I ain't arguing

modern lichen
#

That one pose is drawn so well it’s like eye candy

foggy mirage
#

With literal god

modern lichen
#

It’s sort of like the Alex Ross thing that’s going on online now

#

Where people are like this dude only draws static poses and shit

white smelt
#

That’s true but the art isn’t covered by the writing

#

You actually get paneling

modern lichen
#

Listen dude I’m not gonna shit on Ross

foggy mirage
#

Peacemaker ||got over the continuity thing in a minute. It doesn't matter in the end when retcons in comics is like breathing.||

modern lichen
#

Also yeah Dini or Waid are better writers than Bendis for sure

foggy mirage
#

If you had to follow every dumb thing another writer did

#

Batman would have 6 biological kids

modern lichen
#

I like the story told in the Bendis Daredevil run

foggy mirage
#

Super powers

#

And 3 versions of himself running around

white smelt
#

I think complaining that it’s static nature of his work is valid. In general I find comics are really lacking in dynamic actions

main lion
#

Peacemaker ||cause the lack of continuity in comics is a bit bothersome to me. And they couldnt make peacemaker properly connected and instead just said "forget about certain parts of season 1 " lol||

white smelt
#

I don’t think that means his art is bad

modern lichen
main lion
#

anyway Ill never watch peacemaker so hopefully they dont make it important

foggy mirage
white smelt
#

I think it will be but I’m with you and I’ll skip it

foggy mirage
#

I hope they do

#

So you gotta watch that shit

#

Lmao

white smelt
#

I don’t like cena

main lion
modern lichen
#

Cena is great as Peacemaker

foggy mirage
white smelt
#

Spoilers…

main lion
#

ill just watch supergirl

foggy mirage
#

I said nothing waze

modern lichen
#

Peacemaker || the intention is that only the things mentioned going henceforth is canon to DCU ||

copper phoenix
#

peace maker and the suicide squad reboot are incredibly fun

white smelt
#

You’re implying something

copper phoenix
#

Im glad they're keeping it

#

at least peace maker

foggy mirage
copper phoenix
#

idk about ss

white smelt
#

I don’t like cena

foggy mirage
#

Then you shouldn't assume

main lion
white smelt
#

And in general Gunn, Superman was my free pass

main lion
#

just good to tag on precedent when even implying something

foggy mirage
#

I know you both will begrudgingly follow the dcu

copper phoenix
main lion
#

ill watch the stuff my friend wants to watch in theaters

white smelt
#

Actor

main lion
#

Ill probably pass on all the shows

white smelt
#

I don’t know him well enough to judge his character G5Laugh

main lion
#

will stick to The Batman shows

foggy mirage
#

I ain't passing on lanterns

#

That will be gas

white smelt
#

I’ll watch a trailer and see if it looks good

foggy mirage
#

You aren't watching it

#

If you're saying that

#

Tbh

copper phoenix
#

cena is actually decent actor when hes trying

main lion
#

shouldnt an actor always try

copper phoenix
#

not really

#

bro is making bank

foggy mirage
#

Cena is great at peacemaker

#

All that really matters

copper phoenix
#

if he can get away with not putting any effort props to him

#

not everyone has something to prove

main lion
#

feels disrespectful to the director and the rest of the cast

#

I think thats morally dubious in a collaborative project

foggy mirage
#

What ?

modern lichen
#

have you seen gunn's suicide squad @white smelt

foggy mirage
#

Gunn likes cena

#

I dont think thats a problem

main lion
modern lichen
#

what's even going on man

foggy mirage
#

All I saw is Cena bad actor

copper phoenix
#

cenas acting is decent in peacemaker, hes not anthony hopkins or anything but hes decent

foggy mirage
#

Which is the crux of what you said

copper phoenix
#

I didnt say he wasn't trying lol

foggy mirage
#

Went from talking about batman shows

modern lichen
#

cena is absolutely giving his best as peacemaker, red

foggy mirage
#

To jumping in when Cena is discussed

modern lichen
#

and its a great performance

main lion
#

I said he should always try

modern lichen
#

i dont think he's just "decent" in it

main lion
#

Im talking about non gunn stuff

modern lichen
#

its his best acting performance

copper phoenix
#

yes hes actualy trying, I dont know any other role from him other than his wwe stuff

main lion
#

none? damn

#

hes been in a lot

foggy mirage
#

Yeah he's definitely putting it in for peacemaker

main lion
#

man was speedrunning an IMDB page

main lion
#

for like 8 years

copper phoenix
#

8 years?

#

I only know cena from memes ngl

#

I dont even watch wwe

main lion
#

yeah he had like an 8 year run of constant movie roles

white smelt
#

Actually isn’t Nathan fillion in suicide squad lol

foggy mirage
#

He is

modern lichen
#

yeah lol

copper phoenix
#

I thought peacemaker was his first actual role lol

foggy mirage
#

They only vibe

modern lichen
#

the superman logo on the screen kills me

copper phoenix
#

yall aint ready for the rock in that a24 movie hes starring

white smelt

It would be so funny if they got another wrestler for Black Adam as a f u to Dwayne

copper phoenix

Bro is gonna lose to the next guy that auditions

#

why tf did they make robert downey jr a dolittle

modern lichen
#

one of the worst movies ever made

foggy mirage
#

If i could act id toss myself at directors like eggers, gunn or anderson

modern lichen
#

god its such a stinker

foggy mirage
#

That would be peak

white smelt
#

Why did they make him Sherlock

#

Discombobulate

modern lichen
#

he's fine in that tbh

foggy mirage
#

Henry cavill ?

#

Because he just like that fr

modern lichen

oh yeah cavill also played sherlock holmes

he's ok in that role but that's literally not sherlock

white smelt

No shade but like cmon

He's HIM

gunn has a great track record of being a successful movie director and a unique style to him

main lion
#

nah man lol

modern lichen

#

main lion
#

they should make an ugly sherlock holmes

sherlock is wiry

white smelt

#

Built for this

main lion
#

he has absolutely no features that fit the time period

#

idk how to describe it

#

it just looks like a gym bro in cosplay

modern lichen
#

nor does he fit what sherlock actually is described as

white smelt
#

He’s also a bad actor

modern lichen
#

that's not sherlock holmes

#

henry is a fine actor

#

but that's not it

#

he's not sherlock

modern lichen
#

its so fucking bad dude its like one of the worst films ever made

#

genuine piece of cynical no-good dogshit

#

Ok now this was peak casting

copper phoenix
#

rdj is the best sherlock because of discombobulate

foggy mirage
#

Aint nobody slandering this pick because if you know who that is

modern lichen
#

jeremy brett, widely considered to be the best sherlock holmes ever

#

he disappeared into that role

#

such a great performance

#

basil rathbone, another great sherlock

foggy mirage
#

I'm gonna go wirh Christopher lee

#

Ngl

modern lichen
#

christopher lee is considered to be near the lower rung compared to these guys, he's more recognized as dracula

foggy mirage
#

Dracula ???

modern lichen
#

you dont know?

foggy mirage
#

Dog more people remember him as saruman

#

And count dooku

modern lichen
#

lee is among the most recognizable draculas in history

foggy mirage
#

I know

#

I saw the hammer films

modern lichen
#

tell me you dont even know christopher lee

#

then why are you questioning me like that

foggy mirage
#

Bro is not getting one up on me

#

Because dracula isnt what people know him for these days

#

Like no ???

modern lichen
#

i never said that?

foggy mirage
#

Among cinephiles yeah

main lion
#

I hate that word ReallyMad

modern lichen
#

i was talking in the context of him playing iconic characters from literature, and comparing his performance as dracula as being more iconic

foggy mirage
#

But that would be like saying you remember harrison ford as colonel lucas

#

From apocalypse now

modern lichen
#

????

#

what are you even talking about lol

foggy mirage
#

You haven't watched apocalypse now ?

modern lichen
#

i am not even saying any of that

foggy mirage
#

Im just saying you dint understand why I added question marks

#

Because I was confused why you'd bring up dracula as the first example for Lee's most well known roles

modern lichen
#

i know he's known more for being the characters from star wars and LOTR for sure but he's also most popularly known for his dracula role

main lion
#

all he said is "more recognized as dracula than as holmes"

which, as someone unaware of his holmes performance but is aware of his dracula, I would say is true

#

lol

foggy mirage
modern lichen
#

also, considering LOTR and SW are large franchises that are still alive in the modern imagination, yeah, he's known more as the actor who played those roles

foggy mirage
#

Its usually dooku, saruman or him being in the man with the golden gun

#

And the howling 2

main lion
#

people dont like dooku or the movies hes in

foggy mirage
#

Red you arent the authority for that

modern lichen
#

he gained fame for being in 7 hammer dracula films and then built his career from there progressively

foggy mirage
#

You find all star wars cringo

main lion
#

um yes I am actually

#

Im the saber

#

the red one

#

Ive been in them all

modern lichen
#

come on man

foggy mirage
#

Its gonna be dooku or saruman

modern lichen
#

that's not my point though 😭 i acknowledged that

foggy mirage
#

Like David Tennant is a great actor but people will always instantly thing he played the doctor

foggy mirage
#

Unironically id suspect someone would say Gary oldman or Adam Sandler before Christopher lee these days.

foggy mirage
#

I love Tennant's take

leaden depot
foggy mirage
#

Hog is correct

#

I remembered him as Frankenstein's monster more

Lots of movies with Peter Cushing

I recognize him more as Dracula than the other monsters lol

# vapid marlin the wire ||man it was a constant battle with that crew in my memory lol. it was ...

The wire ||yeah, the constant push/pull of businessman vs gangster in the Avon syndicate was basically the story from S1 onward. While both of them land on different ends of the spectrum I feel like....the real opposite ends of the spectrum, like, from absolute zero cold to nuclear meltdown, is represented by The Greeks vs Marlos syndicate. Difference being a matter of respect for the game, where it's switched here unlike what's represented by Avon and Stringer individually. If one were to fall perfectly in the middle it would probably be Prop Joe||

Phantom Empire ||Awful film it's literally just recycled props and canned footage from other things. Robbie the Robot exploitation, leftover masks from Trolls, stop motion footage from Planet of the Dinosaurs, this thing is barely held together by duct tape

Which isnt surprising given the director but lol this is so forward about it.

But also it's somehow fun in spite of it and I think that's mostly cuz Jeffrey Combs as a total slut in tight pants who has women literally licking his face cuz he's just that good, and Sybil Danning as this ruthless but wildly inefficient alien terminator queen in a perpetual nip slip, have so much entertainment value they carry the movie on their shoulders like they're Atlas.

I had a good time, 1 star movie by any reasonable metric but this is midnight sci-fi channel or late night drive in theater shit and it's effective enough at that to be a 2.5 in my heart.||

The Long Halloween @modern lichen @white smelt ||I just realized, why tf did Alberto get the death penalty for killing 5 criminals and all these freaks like Joker who are homicidal maniacs that have killed dozens or hundreds are just perma imprisoned||

modern lichen
#

the long halloween ||they have found evidence and convicted alberto legally because i think he's cognizant of his actions as a killer, joker can plead on insanity so they keep him and the other freaks of the batman rogues gallery in arkham, also keep in mind, gotham is an extremely corrupt place||

#

the long halloween ||its the same as calendar man, holiday killer and calendar man are serial killers whose crimes have been proven and collated so they just gave them the death penalty||

main lion
#

wait

modern lichen
#

the long halloween ||they're both legally convicted serial killers||

young compass

I don’t see it at all, the humor just seemed so contrived

Maybe they put all of the worst jokes in the trailer somehow

I thought the trailer was fine

But was surprised when I read a few of the reviews

I'm rewatching Batman Begins and I had to pause to comment that Christian Bale's performance is really weak tbh MonkaW I remembered liking it much more

frank rivet
#

Tbh unpopular opinion but Christian was just an ok batman. He was better in begins than he was rises and he didn't have to do anything in DK, I mean heath was running the show

#

I think him and Patterson are about the same as Batman but I think Christian was a better Bruce

main lion
#

Its actually Christian's Bruce I'm criticizing lol

#

Batman has been fine so far

#

his acting feels so stiff

#

Batman Nolan trilogy ||I dont think he picks up the really goofy voice until late Batman Returns or TDK||

frank rivet
#

TDK ||He uses the goofy voice in tdk||

main lion
#

Batman Nolan trilogy || ye basically Im saying he hasnt yet in Returns so his batman has been fine. Hes just kinda whispery atm. His stupid voice is when he gets annoying as batman. But Bale's Bruce is what feels really bland and mediocre||

#

The Batman ||I had criticisms about a decent bit of Pattinson's lines in The Batman feeling forced or goofy as Bruce when hes trying to sound edgy, but I actually think I like it better lol||
