Nolan's film gives audiences an exceptional crime thriller, while Reeves places more emphasis on Batman's detective work, gothic atmosphere, and gradual moral development. One excels as a crime saga while he other arguably captures the experience of reading a compelling Batman mystery.

It's really amazing that both of these movies are also widely considered to be more than just a superhero movie but also films that feel like they are events that completely engage you with their storytelling and performances in such interesting ways.

Many people ship Batman with different characters like Catwoman, Talia al Ghul, Viki Vale, Julie Madison, Wonder Woman, Zatanna, etc and Spider-Man with Gwen Stacy, MJ, and Black Cat but those usually don’t lead to intense disputes between fans and don’t get extremely toxic like Nightwing’s ships.

What is it about whether Nightwing should date either Starfire or Barabara Gordon that it leads to debates that get so intense and toxic?

Sorry if I've tagged this wrong, but I have been searching for this book for 15 years give or take. I am not sure how I stumbled on it while looking at something else entirely but as soon as I saw the cover I fucking knew it! I remember borrowing this book back in high school from the library and the ONLY thing from it I could remember was the Joker getting ground to death by stone grinders. That was the ONLY detail I remembered.

And now that I once again know the name of it I can hunt down a copy so I can finish reading it!

Every single time. And I think the shot of the lightning flashing behind the grave is even more impactful than the “I didn’t expect to me happy” he feels like his parents and the gods themselves are conspiring to make him do this. It’s utterly brilliant.

Seriously, this is messed up and demented, especially for a kids show/movie. I love that they were willing to go there though, both for not treating the kid audience to lightly and also to give the Joker one final play worthy of this versions rivalry with Batman compared to the rest of his villains.

I know, I know. Officially, we’ll never see anything as good as this.

But I think it’s worth at least having some fun and imagining a scenario like this. It’s not like we’re hurting anyone, right?

Didn't experience Adam West's Batman but I just came across this photo on my Twitter TL. They are all talking about the costume but everyrhing about this photo is so cool.

I just finished reading Batman Year One: Scarcrow, and really enjoyed it! I love the serial killer vibe it has and how it really dives into the characters origins, which is, for me, the best part.

One thing I disliked about it is the way Batman behaves, which I found very strange and different from his usual interpretations, but, since he isn't as much of a protagonist as Crane is, it didn't bother me much.

Overall, fun to read, especially in Halloween, and one of my favorite Scarecrow stories so far.
