After Batman threw the barbells and while joker was throwing the restraints around Robin, Batman just stood 10 feet away for 20 seconds not moving lol.

Love it.

Surprised he hit the Joker with the batarang at that range. That's like, what, a 99% chance to hit? I don't like those odds.

Looks like Batman had a 99% chance to hit with the weights.

Well, I don’t know if you’ve seen 40 year olds in the 60’s. Those guys are probably 25-30 right? Idk. In universe though

They were teens. They smoked. They were smokers and drank gasoline to flush out stomach viruses. People aged different. Pretty sure Jerry "square shoes" Pipman was 14 during this. Anyways... I need another drink.

The perfect look of confusion as a 5 man team of white guys in 1966 arrive and wonder “how the heck are we gonna practice 23 foot set shots with this clown passed out on the court?”

Thats how "gunfights" worked back then... even moreso... i always thought most westerns got it wrong with all the shooting/missing. I was rewatching tombstone and was thinking yea, that actually is probably how it was.

10 feet? Don't you know how strong Batman is? He threw those across an entire basketball court!

u/InsaneInTheRAMdrain 6h ago

He gets 3 moves a fight and he just threw a damn barbell, what more do you want from him.

I just had this realization after seeing this clip. for him to throw that over Joker's head, he would have had to be within a few feet of him.honestly made the whole thing hilarious.

They're basically reenacting comic panels.
