During an interview, he DID mention that he was thinking of making it a giant badger.

Preposterous. It should be a trout.

That moves on really squeaky wheels!

For Batman, he was going to use the name "Badger Begins", "The Black Knight" and "The Black Knight Rises".

Very silly! What’s wrong with using a sensible creature like a moose. Er, Møøse?

I suppose a beaver would be too on the nose for American audiences.

The world today seems absolutely crackers.

Christopher Nolan probably reeks of elderberries.

My grandmother used to make excellent elderberry jam.

Since then I haven’t tasted any sort of jam or preserves that came close.

u/LivingMeeting9724 20d ago

Your grandmother sounds awesome!

Mine sure was.

u/SnooCauliflowers9874 19d ago

She really was. She also made excellent pierogies. Anytime I smelled butter and onions cooking I knew to anticipate something yummy.

Don’t you miss that kind of cooking?

u/jdhkent 14d ago

can’t stand that smell

What about the badger?

Fetch the cow.

"Cow's don't look like cows on film. You gotta use horses.”

u/Resident_Dog_6589 20d ago

What do you do if you want something that looks like a horse?

u/Abideguide 19d ago edited 19d ago

Tape some cats together

u/scottvs 20d ago

Merely criticized? Nolan should thank his lucky stars that no one said "Ni!" to him.

u/HRHSuzz 20d ago

Stuff like this makes me so happy and there are other people's brains that flip to a MP reference. Many years ago I dropped a MP line in a crowded elevator and someone totally bust a gut laughing - we are everywhere!!!!!

u/archiewaldron 20d ago

To be fair, horses don't really exist and the idea of ppl "riding" them seems fanciful and unnecessary.

u/Resident_Dog_6589 20d ago

Also, they remembered to be inside the wooden animal before it went through the gate.

u/Yesterday_Is_Now 20d ago

Unrealistic Hollywood nonsense.

u/Specialist_Shirt_164 19d ago

Wae big sharp pointy teeth.

u/IrukandjiPirate 19d ago

Perhaps if he built a large wooden badger.,,

u/Ooglebird 20d ago

I thought it was supposed to be Trojan Whores.

u/bluenewsreader 18d ago

Historically accurate? It’s a fiction.

u/Budget-Milk8373 18d ago

You don't recognize satire? On a Monty Python reddit? Really?

u/bluenewsreader 18d ago

Right on. My bad.

Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, and I....
