re: Batman (1989) all the way to Batman Begins (2005)
Posted by TFTTR on 5/28/20 at 7:08 am to GeorgeTheGreek
You don’t need to watch these movies in total to keep up. They are independent of each other and different iterations of the character.
Batman and Batman Returns are actually more violent in some regards than the Nolan and Snyder films. The Burton films will always hold a high place for me because I grew up with them as an ‘80s kid, but in one major regard, they are problematic. Namely, Batman outright kills people in both of them, which goes against his core being. In one instance, he literally straps a bomb to a guy and smiles before throwing him in a hole to blow up. The other thing missing from these films is a real deep dive into Bruce Wayne and, while Michael Keaton is great, he was too old for an origin story that setup the Joker as the big bad just weeks into his career.
Batman Begins is great. The Dark Knight is great but suffers from the loss of Katie Holmes. The Dark Knight Rises is good, but the death of Heath Ledger really threw the plans out of whack. To not have any mention at all of the Joker was odd and the timeline as portrayed means that Bruce was Batman in that universe for maybe a year, year and a half, tops. That’s a huge issue for me.
Snyder movies were okay, but we get a Batman who is older in the vein of The Dark Knight Returns (Frank Miller graphic novel). Bottom line, he’s a killer. The change in his demeanor from BvS to Justice League is stark because of the transition to Joss Weadon.
My hope for The Batman is that they actually focus on Bruce being the world’s greatest detective.

Is that because she wears glasses so that you don’t have to even though you should?

So you may have the ball for a play and have to turn it over b cause of the clock? Sorry, can’t get behind this thought process.

Any chance Agholor gets a target tonight? Feel like he has been in the frame at the end of every play, just not with the ball.
re: I like Bobby Brown's dancing more than Michael Jackson. Change my mind.

Bobby Brown is largely responsible for putting Whitney on the path that killed her. Screw him and his dancing.

What’s the deal with streaming? Why is it even called streaming? There’s no boats; no flotation devices. Hell, there isn’t even a stream.
So in this instance, liberals are ecstatic to have the narrative driven by highly paid CEOs of multi-million dollar businesses that thrive off of paying minimum or below minimum wages to employees.
Huh...Fancy that.
