the incel shyt you're injecting in the character is weird breh. Bruce Wayne is a gloomy guy in a gloomy city with dead parents. Sorry if as a young man he isn't running the charity circuit like other iterations are yet.

Injecting? Huh? Did you not watch the movie? A dude who sulks in his cave while stalking a woman he just met and writing babble in his "journal" is some well-adjusted human :dead:

Do me a favor and google "the batman riddler foil characters" and read.

nothing in the batman makes him seem like an "incel". You're adding some weirdo headcanon (you don't want us to examine that further papa pimp :sitdown:)

He's literally getting with Catwoman right away in The Batman...wtf are you seeing?

Show felt a little rushed towards the end.

Also they kept recycling situations. Penguin gets captured. He escapes. Penguin is outgunned. He escapes.

Entertaining show for the most part but dudes an a$$hole and doesn't deserve a second season :dead:
They’ve beeen doing the penguin escaping since episode 1-2 :manny: it’s his thing

This show made me appreciate Batman so much more.

Can’t believe I thought penguin was gonna let dude leave or something on some, “don’t want you in the game anymore.”

:mjlol: :mjlol:

Then after seeing what dude did to his own fam, couldn’t really see why he wouldn’t do it to him.

Thought he would at least seen dude as someone he could use, but nah, dude is a villain through and through.

Batman coming through. That Bat signal at the end.

:blessed::blessed:

The one thing I hated about the vic kill scene was the makeup/prosthetics on Colin. While he is choking Vic, half his face is red(his real face) and the bottom half is white(prosthetics). shyt was kinda distracting during the scene for me.

For me it's just not that he killed Vic, that was expected. It's what happened after. Rob and treated him like he was just some random homeless person in the park.
that shyt was so fukkin dirty. I even said "damn he's gonna run his pockets too?" :scust: unseemly

dude was a straight up sociopath from the jump

Great show btw.

Colin might win a Oscar or 2. You really thought of him as the Penguin. In fact, I could only tell it’s Colin by certain facial expressions that I’ve seen him do before. The eyes but in every other way, dude is Oz.

For example, when he snapped at the nurse. His facial expressions were really that of pure rage.

Now for the episode… 10/10 to me. Wrapped up everything in the season. The Selina tie in :banderas:

The Bat Signal :banderas:


The Batman actually grew on me. I was so interested with the Zack Snyders version because it was close to the games and so close to the animated series with his fighting style and etc.

But this was more like a Graphic novel version of The Batman. Based more in our realm of reality and going back into the dark detective version of Batman. I actually re-watched the movie randomly at like 3 different times which I rarely do.

To see how this connects to the next movie I will be 100% interested. Hangman leveling a whole Gotham city block shows just how wild Gotham seems to becoming and why The Batman will be needed more and more. Crazy that Oz and the Falcones were doing all kinds of wild shyt in the city and Batman never showed up once shows that there is a lot of shyt that goes on in Gotham that Batman doesn’t even know about, can’t be 2 places at once and I think this is along the lines of Year One Batman where he is just now trying shyt out, testing out more advanced equipment, etc. Big players are showing their origins too. Oz, Riddler, Joker (maybe Joker, dude who played him sucks imo), etc.

Yeah that was a powerful scene.

Let the audience know… Penguin is a scumbag. Down to the core. He’s a likeable character but dude is cutthroat. I’m just glad it was him that got Vic as fukked up as it sounds.

Penguin was kinda right too:manny:.

Vic was too good of a dude for where Penguin is about to go. Vic saw Oz as good and loved him like family… all that was going to do was get Vic killed probably in a very fukked up way and created a liability for Oz if he is caught like his moms and tortured or some shyt.

fukked up but he probably did Vic a favor. Now he’s with his family hopefully.

He did that to make it seem like a robbery imo. Threw his id in the river so he will be a john doe :yeshrug:
Yep

Nobody will never know who he is right away or what he’s done.

They might be able to identify the body in other ways but are they really gonna do that for a black/minority kid from the hood when there are thousands of dead bodies around, probably not.

Can’t be tied to The Penguin if they don’t care who the kid is.

The way they displayed dudes mother issues in the end showed that Oz is just as crazy as The Batman too and obsessed with his parent(s).

Another thing about Vic was that I feel like he got too close. Like dude knew EVERYTHING except that Oz killed his 2 brothers and his moms knew. No one else really knows but Hangman and he got her out the picture for now.

Vic didn’t know though. He didn’t know his moms stabbed him and he didn’t know the real reason his mom is a vegetable. I think Oz felt like if Vic had found out, his opinion of him would change as well.. loyalty might even change (even though I think Vic might have been more understanding considering everything they went through. Vic knows Oz is a killer).

When Vic calls Oz “family”… Oz’s character says “fukk” like he knew he was going to have to kill him as soon as he said it.
