Re: The Batman (2021)

But... Why would Batman 'enjoy' being Batman. He's out there as long as Gotham is turning to shit... Why would he... Enjoy that. Because he likes justice. He gets to put his abilities and resources to good use. He finds it worthwhile to stop crime and save people. Plus he's honoring his parents' me...

He most definitely "beats them up," and vigilantism is typically perpetuated by unstable people, which Batman most definitely is.
If the Batman is unstable, then so is Superman, Spider-Man, Daredevil etc. They are all vigilantes. That doesn't make them unstable or troubled.

Re: The Batman (2021)

Those "psychologically disturbed people" are criminals, and the Batman is a crimefighter.

And he doesn't "beat them up", he uses his fighting skills to aid in stopping their crimes and defending himself.

It's all a part of the job.

Re: The Batman (2021)

But if he would do that, wouldn't he just retire the Batman persona and devote his enormous wealth to transform Gotham with modern infrastructure, jobs, investments, charities, etc...? No, because the Batman persona is the end result of Bruce overcoming the trauma. It's his chosen profession, and a...

Re: The Batman (2021)

For example, saying that you could have a Batman who is "final", who finally dealt with the death of his parents, put it past behind him and is now simply "enjoying" making Gotham better sounds like something that is, by definition, un-Batman. There's nothing "un-Batman" about it. Quite the opposit...

Re: The Batman (2021)

He dealt with the trauma as a child, and by the time he became an adult he had put it behind him to become the Batman. I would rather see this than yet another Batman haunted by the past or struggling psychologically or whatever. Maybe instead have a Batman that actually enjoys being the Batman and ...

Re: The Batman (2021)

"Because at the end of the day, this guy is doing all of this to deal with trauma in his past."
Too bad to hear this. I was hoping for a Batman that isn't dealing with any past trauma, but instead had overcome it.

Re: The Batman (2021)

Truer to most of the Batmobiles of the first fifty years, in the sense that it resembles an ordinary car, and not some kind of high-powered military vehicle or futuristic super-advanced machine.

Re: The Batman (2021)

This Batmobile is much truer to the comic books than any of the previous films, by the looks of it.
