#The Batman 2

[violent138]

The Batman 2 as directed by me, opening scene

Gordon: "Chief's allowing you back on crime scenes as long as you don't touch anything, or contaminate anything on the scene--"

Robin, popping out of nowhere: "Whoa, you shot that guy?"

Gordon: "Man you brought a kid here?"

Battinson, long suffering: "He brought himself."

Gordon, watching Robin meticulously record evidence before running theories by Batman: "He yours? No? And where exactly did you find this kid?"

Battinson: "Another crime scene."

If someone doesn't beat Oz to death in 2026 for what he did to Sofia and Victor I'm going to do it myself

the rumblings about the Batman 2 setting reminded me of how cool a snowed-in Gotham would be for a fic or movie setting. power/electricity grid is either out or about to fail. people are trapped in their homes and apartments by ten and fifteen foot drifts, with more snow inbound. the city breaks down within hours, as people abandon their jobs (cough, Arkham) and try to escape the city.

The Bat enters a new version of a familiar playground, an iced over city where cars can’t drive, grapple lines don’t catch, and frostbite sets in within minutes of exposing skin. How do you protect your city? The vulnerable freezing to death? How do you connect aid stations and Good Samaritans to the people who need help when Gotham’s criminal underbelly has decided now is the time to fight back?

One thing I don't think I've seen many people mention is how marthas mental illness is treated in the batman.

Specifically how the riddler went on this whole crusade of 'exposing' a lot of the people higher up in gothams society including the waynes. And one of the things he exposing obviously being what happened with the renewal fund but i also thought it was interesting how he also exposed martha issues with her mental illness (its been a while since ive watched it so i mightve gotten some things wrong)

I think its intresting because mental illnesses are very demonised especially mental illness that are beyond just depression or anxiety, and i feel like that disconnect is a lot worse in higher societies if that makes sense.

And the riddler 'exposing' her about this is also not up to the same standards as what he had exposed about others, that being the corruption in gotham and he also already exposed the waynes for what had happened with the renwal fund (although im pretty certain they were dead when this happened which was also the reason this was able to happen). Because of that the exposure (im saying expose a lot) of marthas mental illness was purely just being an ass (i dunno a better way to describe it) i can kind of understand it in a way that he also exposed marthas past about her mother killing her father but still that is irrelevant to the corruption of gotham which was his ultimate 'goal'.

I do think a lot of the riddlers morals can be justified in the earlier acts of the movie but when it got to reaveling something completly irrelavent and unnecessary as well as blowing up the dam walls despite his whole thing being 'exposing the rich and privileged of gotham' when it is factual that in emergency events like a dam breaking the people most affected are already under privileged and typically lower income.

Another thing, which was initially my main point, but i got distracted, is how this affects bruce. Bruce seems to be completly unaware of this because obviously it is difficult to explain to mental illness to children, especially when it involves their parents, and after the waynes death, there were many other things to worry about.

Mental illnesses are hereditary, and i think in the batman II, it would be interesting to explore this. Even if none of marthas mental health issues passed onto him because i think the thought in itself would be an interesting concept especially because i feel like bruces relationship with thomas is always explored whereas his relationship with martha is kind of pushed aside in a lot of renditions. Obviously, bruce is not the most mentally stable and that can be chalked to watching his parents get murdered and growing up in a society full of assholes.

I think bruce is a very paranoid person, which i dont blame him for considering how he grew up, so i think him being extremely paranoid about possible severe mental illnesses would be in character, especially for battinson. I do headcanon him having a few mental illnesses (which i also coincidentally have. Is this projecting? Who knows), and i feel like this topic being explored would be extremely important to his character and his relationship with his parents and himself.

I want Dick as Robin in The Batman 2 but I need him to be as bright and colorful as in the comics to very much show the contrast between him and Bruce. He is Bruce's light in a way and I want to show that in the costume. Especially considering how bleak Gotham is in the first film.

Who cares about gritty realism, put that child in colors.

Okay, hear me out, stephanie brown as battinson side kick in the batman 2.

and before you say Im crazy, please listen:

At the start of the batman 2, Bruce fights the latest in a series of riddler copycat that appeared following the events of the first movie. This one calling themselves “cluemaster”. Batman tracks him to his home after receiving an anonymous tip and fights him. He knocks him out and handcuffs him for the cops, but before he can leave he discovers Stephanie in the home. Stephanie thanks Batman and tells him she knew he’d stop her father. Batman quickly realises that it was Stephanie who gave him the tip. Steph explains that her father became mentally unwell after her mothers death and became inspired by riddler. Fearing him she tipped batman off to his location. Batman thanks her and goes to leave but Steph asks him to stay, fearing her father waking up. He reluctantly agrees and they talk until Gordon arrives. Bruce later decides to take her in temporarily until the new orphanage he’s funding is completed. Steph is incredibly intelligent, has met batman and is in close proximity with Bruce. All this eventually leads her to discover that he is batman and she insists on helping him. Of course he says no but that’s not gonna stop her…

After this little ramble about how the story could go, here are my reasons on why I think stephanie would be amazing in battinson universe:

Hope - Steph is a character who deeply values hope—holding on to hope for herself, and also bringing hope to others. More than for any other Robin, Stephanie grew up idolizing Batman as a symbol of hope and resistance, not fear and vengeance.

 Connection to the lower class and crime-vulnerable population of Gotham- Rather than allowing a child into the crimefighting world, Batman meets a kid who already lives there. Rather than just swooping in from above to save the masses down below, Batman empowers someone to save her own people.

Giving Steph the spotlight - Lately, DC has been cashing in on Stephanie representing a Girl Wonder (Robin 80th Anniversary Spectacular, Robins, Wayne Family Adventures, etc) among a herd of weirdly identical teen boys. While it's nice to see Steph getting recognized, her actual 10-week stint as Robin was basically a mean-spirited stunt instead of a proper run. It'd be nice for Steph to legitimately get a major spotlight as Robin.

If you got to this point, Thanks for reading!!

this Gotham they created for The Batman and amazingly followed along in The Penguin brings me so much joy that it's hard to put in words. That's what I imagine when I think about this hell of city.

The Penguin 1st episode is just a work of art — such as the movie itself.

I can't wait to see more of it, either on The Batman 2, the next episodes and, just maybe, more spin-offs that could come.

Oz when I get you...

*Dick gets the barebones of Gordon's information and does his latest trick of running off without Bruce*

Batman, incredibly exhausted: "Dick, I swear to--!"

Batman: *realizes the terrible mistake he's made and freezes, looking over at Gordon.

Gordon, deeply unamused: "What the hell is wrong with you? You're like thirty something man!"

Batman: *blood running cold because Gordon knows his identity too?!*

Gordon: "What the hell are you calling a ten year old a dick for?"

Batman, so relieved he could melt into a puddle:

Batman: "Hn." *vanishes*
