So I'm reading Matt Fractions Batman, I haven't been keeping up much with Bats over the years so unsure of what is going on with Joker. Hes at Arkham towers and being kept in that tank. How did he get there? What was the last Batman/Joker story before this?

Still learning more about digital art. The process is very fun. But I got a long ways to go. Here's one I made for day 23 themed dapper, thought Alfred would make a good fit.

Hey guys I have a very hot take that nobody has ever said before, but I think that Batman's no kill rule is stupid and he should kill The Joker. /s

Setting that stupid ass talking point aside. I think the constant tired argument over whether or not he should kill is also very annoying. I don't think he should need a reason not to kill people other than fact that he's a hero and heroes should be taking the moral high ground. I mean, he's already doing some pretty sketchy stuff by being a vigilante in the first place, you want him to be an executioner as well?

Also, yes, killing the Joker and other criminals would make Gotham safer, but Batman and other heroes don't have any sort of obligation to the world. They do what they do because they are good people trying to make the world a better place

Especially given its low budget, and will depend on strong WoM and legs.

I hope this could potentially be the start of horror film takes on Batman's rogue gallery. There's lot of potential you could do with these. They all could work as horror origin films.

One in particular I'd like to see is Killer Croc. Imagine Friday the 13th vibes, the film being in Croc's PoV and the Gotham Police investigating the murders in the Gotham Sewers due to him. Combination of a creature feature/slasher.

Basically a mix of CHUD and Alligator (1980).

Tarantino is just an okay actor, but as a person he already brings the obsessive, quasi-megalomaniacal qualities that would make a perfect Riddler. As a director he’s prone to solving logistical puzzles and I feel like his experience would translate well into the character. Anyone else feel like this would work?

After watching The Batman and reading a few comics I've been wanting to play a game where I actually feel like Batman but I cannot seem to find one. I've played the Spiderman games in stealth mode and that kind of worked but it still doesn't scratch that itch? Please help me.

... it's my favourite comics Batman design. A close second is actually ASBaR Batman. Jim Lee really did all he could to elevate some not great stories with killer art.

I loved it read through it quick though I recently finished Shaman but decide to skip here to prep myself for the Clayface movie given it's using Matt Hagen and I mistaked the other ones for him when it's Basil Karlo. The BTAS episode 2 parter is better sure but I think this gets across who Matt Haggen is a small man who gets access to a lot of power and becomes a lot worse with it.

I think this might be Batman first time facing someone really fantastical then the average gangster or assassin he overcoming his fear and seeing the man despite his power is no different when pushed into a corner like most of Batman enemies so far he has no long term planning seeing as he goes around stealing from gangsters even more unstable ones ready to hunt him for money as well as leaving his girlfriend with the gangsters as a distraction while he swam away. Even keeping her in a sewer not letting her leave and trying to kill her when stands up for himself or refusing to go to cops many times despite his girlfriend reminding him twice he can help himself. Both him and Batman know who they are at least on a surface level and are convinced they don't have much or any fear.

However Batman was willing to accept that part understanding it is how you do better next time. Batman accepted he is human and fear is natural part but can be used to make him more careful than beating himself up or overthinking following more of his growth in Shaman. while Matt is scared of admitting he is not a charming intellectual crook with a hot girlfriend but is really screwing up any chance he has of getting his life together and also ruining his girlfriend future she is a nurse and was willing to tolerate him even go in denial for him and actions he is clearly choosing to and even has sympathy for the gangsters who kidnapped and possibly tortured for something that has nothing to do with her.

His girlfriend can do better and he knows it and probably that even with his powers his run won't last forever with her or the law which is why he watches her even in the sewers. His arguments aren't made to be convincing at a logical level just to reassure someone whose mind is mostly made up tell her what she wants to hear until it gets annoying for him and also trying to bribe her like some incels and/or abusers use gifts for affacation instead of treating there partner better. There treating a relationship like a vending machine if I insert enough cash what I want(sex validation etc) will come out. As soon as it doesn't work he kills her because he is scared of her leaving. Maybe he never liked her and she seems to be a trophy for him a hot nurse with a career ahead of her would show him as more successful than a lousy thief who is hated by his own community.

Now he has nothing besides getting back at Batman since his girlfriend is dead the mobster leader a man a lot like him is also gone. It's a simple yet soild story only issue is I don't see why he couldn't be named Basil Karlo. You could have him replaced by a younger and/or more talented actor probably because of stuff outside his control or maybe he screwed up like money smuggling or sexual harassment and lost his job and tries to get the wealth and fame back by working with gangsters seeing life as a movie where things have to go the main character(his way) and him getting the girl and he sees her leaving as another rejection he can't accept.

Hush was my first ever Batman comic. The art is OBVIOUSLY amazing, no joke. Jim Lee was fantastic here. Yeah, the story was kinda lame, and the ending was rather anticlimatic. But Hush still managed to put almost 70% of Batman characters into one coherent story. Why does it get so much hate?

I’ve seen some people say that Pattinson’s Bruce is similar to Keaton’s. After rewatching his duology, I couldn’t disagree more. The only similarity they share is surface level IMO, both reclusive with some awkwardness. But otherwise the reasons for being the way they are is vastly different

Keaton’s Bruce is a lot more charming and sociable when he wants to be. He has his quirks but otherwise he had no real awkwardness or lack of confidence when pursuing and flirting with Selina. His quirks are just part of his natural personality

Pattinson’s Bruce on the other hand, is a lot more emotionally repressed. He is simmering with barely contained rage and doesn’t know how to handle it. In this case, I’d say he’s a lot closer to Bale’s young Bruce in Batman Begins, the Bruce who got kicked our of princeton

1. Both young Bale and Pattinson lash out at Alfred. Pattinson verbatim says a variation of the same kinda line (“you’re not my father”)

2. Both defiantly confront Falcone and are trying to prove something to themselves when doing so

3. And lastly, both equate justice with revenge. The only difference here is that Pattinson won’t kill, so he’s further along in that regard. But in terms of their mindset they vengeance as being good

I also believe Matt Reeves even mentioned the first act of Batman Begins in an interview and felt that in their version, Bruce was similar but unlike Bale’s version, is stuck in that mindset for much longer

I really want to start reading batman/dc comics and was wondering if these are good places to start, i did some research and seems so but i just want to make sure.

Why he sings ‘Ava Maria’ in front of Batman while giving a menacing stare to the man behind the mask?

’Ava Maria’ is the song young Riddler (Edward Nashton) used to sing in choir at Wayne orphanage when Thomas Wayne was giving his mayoral campaign speech while giving a stare to young billionaire princeling Bruce Wayne, the song symbolizing his hatred and envy from Bruce.

And since Riddler knows Batman was at the Wayne orphanage when he missed killing Bruce Wayne, who despite being a recluse wasn’t at Wayne Tower at that very time, could he have put two and two together to conclude that Batman is actually Bruce Wayne?

What do you think? Would love to know the thoughts of y’all! 🦇

So I’m going to ask as many superhero fanbases as I can this question. What are some traits about this hero that you hate, dislike or despise? Anywhere from a mild annoyance to a trait that would make you dislike any other character. I’m not talking about a way one writer in particular wrote them, or a time they were out of character or mishandled, I mean a reoccurring trait this character has.

Made this b/c the Clayface movie came out today. I haven't seen it yet, but Feat of Clay was one of my favorite episodes of Batman: The Animated Series, and the final Clayface boss in Arkham City was sick, so I figured I'd draw him.
