I will never be a hardcore DC fan. I will never read the comics and understand the timelines.
But I will ALWAYS be an absolute slut for the fandom. My gods you guys are so creative and funny! Please give me more Brucie Wayne and fluffy batfam and silly JL x Batfam headcanons, they give me life<3

I've seen some comic panels touching on this and I just love the idea of bruce being a little stalker and you having to make peace with it.
you leave for work and then come back five minutes later because you forgot where you left your wallet and then you get a text from bruce that says “bathroom counter upstairs” because he just happened to be watching the tower's camera feed at the time.
or having to take a longer way home because a road has been closed off and getting a call from bruce because he noticed you taking turns you don’t usually take to get back to the tower. he stays on the phone with you until you get back home, even though you know he's on patrol right now because you can hear the wind on the other end.
god forbid you head out somewhere late at night without telling him first. he won't ask questions, he'll just follow you from a safe distance until he's ready to make himself known. when you (reasonably) yell at him about it, he apologizes (very insincerely) and asks what you're up to.
bruce has spent years perfecting the craft of stealth and on top of that, he is a worrywart. he's not the type to fawn over your every move right in front of you. he just... pays attention. watches. plans accordingly. if you are a loved one of bruce's, you are never truly out of sight. take that how you will, he's not gonna change

The Batman (2022) isn't perfect by any means, but it is still a phenomenal film and one of the best pieces of Bat-media in recent memory.
Firstly, the aesthetic. Seemingly small but an incredibly important part. BTAS was broody, '89 was gothic, Forever was campy, TDK was... bad. And TB I think finds a real sweet spot in between vibes. It's dark, serious, it's got a technological noir, and yet still has vibrancy and color and (the key to my heart) neon.
One scene, you'll be sitting in an abandoned tunnel with shadows and muddy colors, the next you'll be surrounded by police under white lights, and the next you'll be in a night club with LEDs of every color you can think.
The fights. This film has some of the best Batman fights I've ever seen period. Really just action in general. The night club, the hallway, the finale. It's not like TDK where every fight is slow, precise, methodical, and honestly boring. Each fight or chase here is energetic and entertaining. The choreography is excellent, the stakes are legitimately high, and the settings are always unique.
The night club is crowded and overwhelming, with people swinging, shouting, and grabbing at Bats who aren't even apart of the fight. His skills and equipment save his life multiple times, whether it's block a bullet with a precise pipe throw or survive a shotgun blast with his armor. When he finally grabs Penguin you feel as overwhelmed and animalistic as he does.
The precinct escape is tight and tense. From the punch to the jump, every second makes you feel the absolute abominable stress of trying to escape a building like this. Officers pouring out of every room, bullets whizzing by and beaming off his suit. Merely seconds to get the flight suit on before they come pouring out to the roof. We experience the fall with him as his nerves spike, all culminating in a quick second decision that ends with him crashing into the side of the road.
Gotham. The beloved city feels full here. Subways are crowded, streets are packed. The crime feels real. Vandals, gang violence, thieves, assassins, crime families. It's not just militants and killers. We see the systemic issues in place that cause these. We see the feelings and social strains that make people do this. It's like you're taking a peak into another world with context and history you don't know but understand. It feels right.
The characterizations. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "Bruce Wayne is the mask, Batman is the real you" thing inflamed by TDK. And I really don't like "the Waynes were corrupt and did bad things, even for good reasons".
I think there's so much more to say about the two very different, very real sides to Bruce's personality. The one that comes out as billionaire playboy philanthropist, and the one that comes out as a violent and vengeful demon. Both who are willing to suffer for their causes. And I think there's so much more when the Waynes die from a mugging. That the crime is so bad it took the highest. That it could take anyone at any time, even the beloved elite.
However it does something right that most other Bat-media fails at. It makes Batman a symbol of hope. It demonstrates a growth in himself. That he can do more good to inspire the people than to instill fear in them.
Pandaredd made a good video on this, but in Crisis On Two Earths, Bats' opposite is represented as the ultimate nihilist. This means that at his core, Batman is really the ultimate optimist. And that makes sense. You don't put on a suit and fight crime, you don't try to create resources to help people, you don't befriend and reform your own Rogues gallery unless you believe you can change something. That all the work you do, all the suffering you experience will be worth it when you get to know the world healed.
And that's something The Batman understands. Batman started as a symbol of fear. So that every criminal hesitates at an alley. Panics at a shadow. But he became something else. A symbol of optimism. So that people can walk the streets at night. That they can get the help they need. That they can look into the sky with hope.

how have you not witnessed battinson yet.
IT’S JUST.
SO.
LONG.
This has been my philosophy lately when it comes to movies.
(I also have STRONG objections to the portrayal of The Riddler and I dislike some of the plot elements I heard about.)
(AND BY THE WAY DID I MENTION HOW LONG IT IS???)

I sincerely feel like the Riddler in The Batman was really if not the best, the only good version of that “radical revolutionary villain” trope, which The Falcon and the Winter Soldier tried so hard to do but failed at.
Like ok. In the beginning, it seems like the Riddler has some views that some would call leftist, despite his means being radical and immoral. He’s attacking corrupt men with power, and he’s doing it (supposedly) for the people of Gotham. It seems like he’s doing it for the working class, who got screwed over by these people exploiting the Renewal program and using it for their own monetary gain, and to just gain power in general.
But his tactics aren’t actually trying to help the people of Gotham, or even expose the truth. He falsely accuses Thomas Wayne of getting a reporter killed with flimsy circumstantial evidence. He kills people out of anger and revenge more than he does to actually get the truth out. But this false message of revolution does rally enough people behind him so that he can pull of his final plan: flooding Gotham, and attempting to assassinate the mayor.
This is where it kind of clicked for me. He made a point that there would be no time for evacuation. He showed he doesn’t care about the people on the ground he claimed he was doing this for. They were just a pawn for him, so he could get his Moment with Bruce and have vengeance against the people he feels wronged him. If anything, the flood would be more likely to hurt the poor than the rich, who were likely not on the streets and might have emergency contingency plans, or at least enough money where they wouldn’t be too affected by the fallout of the disaster.
The reason that the Riddler’s character works is because he isn’t motivated by the ideas he claims to be. He’s just an angry man lashing out at the system, no matter who it hurts. The problem with him isn’t that he’s just killing people to get what he wants. It’s much more nuanced than that. It’s that he doesn’t have concrete beliefs, or any morals to hold him back from doing heinous things. He’s not helping the people of Gotham the way he claims to be, he’s getting revenge. Bruce realizes this at the end of the movie, and spends the rest of the film’s ending to help get people out of the flood, helping the actual people of Gotham rather than lashing out at criminals.
The reason this trope works here is because the hero confronts the villain’s message and means, and learns something from it, and tries to do better. That is so much more meaningful than “killing is bad and I’m not going to interrogate this dynamic any further.”

despite that I do in fact quite like Robert Pattinson, if only for his hatred of the Twilight films and complete dedication to simultaneously being entirely unhinged and yet also Just Some Guy, I have never and still don't really have any particular interest in his Batman film. like, would I watch it if a friend wanted to?? yeah sure I'd probably have a good time. but on my own I don't really care?? I don't have a horse in this race, the Concept of Battinson is fantastic but I just don't have much interest in essentially a solo Batman film. honestly at this point the only thing that could totally sell me on it would be sticking Patman with little Dick Grayson, in which case I would be entirely willing to go headfirst into the gentle obsession I've seen from some of my mutuals
