The Batman (Matt Reeves, March 4, 2022) Movie • Page 157

He started out extremely menacing and then turned into an incel youtuber

 

‘Twas the point

 

"He's a nobody trying to be somebody" or whatever that one guy said

 

But the point sucked

 

He is terrifying in the beginning and less so as he’s more on-screen. The first shot of his glasses in the mayors house made me audibly gasp.

Yeah he’s just a dude in a weird outfit killing people. That’s FUCKED UP though! He’s way more frightening in that regard on a primal level than something like Thanos.

 

He’s frightening in the sense that people just like him have killed others IRL.

There’s also no way to convince him to stop.

 

Nah, he was just an incel. I ain't scared.

 

Incels are fucking scary because they refuse to see reason.

 

Yupp

 

He looked like a typical incel, but his behavior didn’t come across as one. I think it does a disservice to his motivations to paint him that way.

 

I just didn't think he was a threat. Especially not to BATMAN

 

Tbf he wasn’t trying to be a threat to the Batman, he had convinced himself he was working WITH the Batman to end corruption and etc.

 

I mean he did unknowingly send a bomb to Batman.

 

i think i need to start this from the middle again. i had a hard time paying attention by then.

riddler def looked like an incel but i dont recall any incel ideology. a terrorist who targets government and the mob is pretty routinely entertaining as these things go.

how he was able to kill these high profile people with all their security detail seemed undersold from a screenplay standpoint. for some reason no one was there to stop him.

 

His plan just doesn't make sense.

 

He would be a horrible streamer on twitch that’s for sure

 

But he had like 500 followers

 

brb while I try and get more followers than the riddler

 

Do it

 

I love everything about this right up to the Gotham Square Garden shit. That fifteen minutes should have been cut. It felt like a studio note that it needed a big finale, which it didn't. They used so much forced perspective in that scene, which I absolutely loathe. I don't think anything looks worse on a big screen than that.

 

I feel like there is a cool story to tell in the vein of Cataclysm/No Man's Land. Those books kinda suck, but leveraging the disaster of the end of this one would be cool. Just have the whole city war torn with villains fighting for territory.

I’m like the riddler except I’m bad at video games
