Gotham Citizen: I like Batman, but The Joker also makes some good points.

An eternal thank you to Sir Patrick Stewart for elevating Star Trek to a place no one thought possible Thank you for Professor Xavier. Thank you for Captain Ahab. Thank you for the roles I never saw and the ones I can't think of right now A legend that touched millions of lives

The fake insiders and the fake scoopers that have been repeating the same lies over and over for years now have never been down so bad
James Gunn says the DCU Batman casting rumors are BULLSHIT: “It won’t be too long before we’re casting Batman, who isn’t cast yet by the way by all the people thinking he’s going to show up in this or that. It’s all bullshit.”

The best starting point for DCU Batman is similar to early 90s continuity: Tim Drake newly minted as Robin and Bruce has an estranged relationship with Dick Grayson, early into becoming Nightwing Starting with Damian as Robin and an instantly microwaved Batfamily is a bad idea.

How it will feel if the DCU mistakenly starts with Damian Wayne as Robin instead of early career Tim Drake
Gotham star David Mazous says he wants to play Damian Wayne aka Robin in James Gunn's DCU "I would love to be a member of the bat family." 🦇 (via instagram.com/reels/DTqie3XC…)

This is from Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #28-30 "Faces" by the great @MattWagnerComic It's a personal favorite of mine. I have all three issues individually, and the trade paperback; even though I don't collect many physical issues. It's just that damn good
Batman’s the type of guy to break into your house just to rearrange your furniture and leave… don’t mind him, he’s just ”detective-ing”

Last Jedi is better than all 3 prequels please get real
Replying to @sigma_joker
The prequels, flawed as they are, were created with a vision and added a lot of new life to the SW universe. Say what you want about them, but the ideas were there, even if the execution was imperfect. The same cannot be said of the sequels.

Makes sense. Constantine debuted in Swamp Thing, plays an extremely important role in helping unlock is true powers, introduced Swampy to the Parliament of Trees, etc Abbie Arcane is another vital human character that needs to be in the film And I selfishly want Chester too ☮️
Espero sea cierto el rumor que está circulando. John Constantine estará en #SwampThing El film será dirigido y escrito por James Mangold (Logan) Será una película de misterio de terror gótico, neo noir. Conectada al DCU. Introducirá el mundo místico al DCU.

Miami Vice 🌴 😎 S1: E4 & E5 "Calderone's Return" Another nearly cinematic two-parter that rightfully ranks among the very best episodes of the series "Money paid for blood is paid in person." is a Crockett line that hits hard E3 is alright. Guest stars Ed O'Neill (Al Bundy)
The double-length pilot episode of Miami Vice is so freaking good and extremely cinematc Beyond the incredible style, music, and overall aura it's a fantastic introduction to Crockett, who's personal life is a total disaster, and Tubbs; seeking vengeance for his slain brother

I would highly recommend "Nutshell" by Alice In Chains for The Batman: Part II "We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight, and yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home"
I need them to promote The Batman 2 using grunge music again because Something In The Way by Nirvana being in the trailer for the first film was historic

The main Robin of the DCU ought to be Tim Drake He's the best Robin because he earned it every single step of the way Dick was selected for it. Jason blew it. Damian is a genetically modified nepobaby Tim used his brilliance to get the job and never stopped improving himself
"Tim Drake has the best tactical mind of any partner I've worked with. His knowledge and experience are vital." —Batman in Rise of the Batmen Detective Comics #934

There was a two-year gap between the original 85 episodes of Batman: The Animated Series and when the show returned as The New Batman Adventures for a third season
Why are they so drastically different?

Name a fictional character whose death you still haven’t gotten over.

The mainline Batman title (or even just a limited series) written by @MattWagnerComic and drawn by @kelleyjonesart (both legends who have been doing great work together on an indy Dracula series!)
I’m interested what are y’all’s dream marvel or DC project? What Character and Creator would you have?
