But Batman doesn't use guns.

Very possibly post of the year already.

They'll find a way to put Phoenix's Joker into this world for the sequel if this is a success. They'll make out that the first Joker film set in the 80s was all in Arthur Fleck's head.

or just have him cross canons with no explanation like Judi Dench M did...

The more I see of this, the less interested I get. Early on, I honoured it with a spot on my 'see at the cinema' list, but with each increasingly dark orange trailer it has faded like a grumpy member of the McFly family.

Also

we're not so different

is a screenwriting crime punishable by Batman.

"We're not so different"

is a screenwriting crime punishable by Batman.

I'm amazed that they're still trying to trot this out. Venture Bros did a great parody of this about 15 years ago:

PHANTOM LIMB: You know, we're not so different, you and I.

BROCK SAMSON: Ugh, another "We're not so different" speech. I get those a lot.

PHANTOM LIMB: Yes, I rather think you would.

(Paraphrased because I can't find the exact quote online.)

Really like this TV spot:

[BritishHobo]

Every time I see the trailer for this, my expectations completely flip. I can't gauge if it's goofy but taking itself too seriously (a la Suicide Squad, the writing on the ground reminiscent of Leto's Joker with his stupid fucking circle of knives) or whether it's taking itself just seriously enough and will actually be compelling. I think I would like it if it's about Bruce Wayne being genuinely unhinged, just a fucking actual maniac going out in the night and breaking bones.

Anyway I'm seeing this at 4am on release day because I make terrible choices.

[Magnum Valentino]

I might go see it at the only IMAX in NI which will cost a fucking fortune and have crap popcorn, so you're not alone.

[Mister Six]

EVERY TIME.

"Ooh, actually, that doesn't look bad. Maybe it'll be all right. What was my problem with it?"

(Batman deflects machine gun fire at point blank range with his magic armpits.)

"Nope, fuck this."

EVERY TIME.

Who is the best-looking Batman?

I don't mean who is the best-looking actor to have played Bruce Wayne? - rather, who has the best-looking exposed Batmouth when in costume?

Everybody agrees, for example, that of all the actors to play Officer Murphy, Peter Weller has the best Robomouth (robotic police officer mouth).

[Butchers Blind]

Have there been any reviews come in for this yet?

[Bad Ambassador]

The embargo lifts at 6.00pm.

Fucking hell, since when have cinema tickets been £15???????

That's how they compliment each other in the Lancashire hip hop scene.

[Ron Maels Moustache]

Ticket prices have been creeping up for years now, I think they were charging around £12 on average pre-pandemic. The last time I patronised my local Cineworld, tickets there had dropped down to about 8 quid again, presumably as they were desperate to get people back in there. I guess it's not the same everywhere?

[Small Man Big Horse]

In London for about 15 years, though I'm not sure about anywhere else.

[JamesTC]

The limitless passes are now roughly the same price as a single ticket. It just ends up meaning I see every film I'm vaguely interested in to make it worth it. Thankfully they also show classic movies. I'm seeing Wayne's World, Philadelphia and The Godfather Part II in addition to The Batman this week.

[Huxleys Babkins]

Haha, the fucking wankers. Looked at prices for The Duke for tonight and it's "only" £12 for a premium seat in a normal screen. Even Uncharted in the iSense screen is £14 compared to Theba Theba-Man for £17.50 next week.

On Saturday all films at Picturehouse were £3.  Went and saw Cyrano because unlike everyone here I wasn't interested in Sing 2.

That's £3 for a cinema ticket lads.  No offence but I can hear all of your pubes bristling in impotent rage against the kind of cardboardy underpants you all wear.

Excellent question. It's definitely not Bale, who has a strange, potato-shaped chin, disgusting mouth and thin lips. I could never take his Batman seriously.

They always used to say George Clooney, but I highly suspect they merely fancied him by default so would have said that anyway.

We need to get in a really straight dude to help.
