Adding on to my The Batman post, I forgot to mention how much I adore the way they handle the no killing rule. In terms of plot, I don't think it's mentioned at all as a sticking point. He won't kill and that's that.

But there's one particular scene. Carmine and Selina. Bruce has just punched Carmine to the ground, saving Selina's life, and is now trying to wrestle the gun away from her. She tries to convince him. "He has to pay!"

And right here is where I thought that stupid classic line was gonna be. I could see it coming like a freight train. "If you kill him, you'll be just as bad as he is." But then... I'm wrong. It doesn't happen. Instead, Bruce makes a very different statement.

"You don't have to pay with him. You've paid enough."

And with that, he gets the gun and Carmine is arrested. There's no moral high ground, there's no shitty logic.

Bruce has seen what The Roman has done. Who he's hurt. What he's taken away. Selina's mother. Her girlfriend. Bruce's own parents. He knows better than anyone the need for revenge. For justice. But he also knows that this man before him, lying bloodied on the floor, has taken enough. He's taken their families, their morals, their innocence. But he doesn't get to take away their lives. He doesn't get to have that power.

And then Carmine is shot and killed anyway so Selina got what she wanted in the end either way.

Batman 2 Theories

Hey just a PSA I figured out some stuff and basically this is just me brainstorming but The Batman has Easter eggs in almost every frame of the movie and if you enhance or edit some of the photos you can see the stuff and some characters (that's what I think anyway) just a theory.

Basically they said they're gonna keep it true to the comics and they like us solving stuff hence the moniker Detective Comics.

The logo on Elrataalada.com is a lock symbol like the riddler has been using and the rest is explained in the photos below.

Basically they're gonna introduce a bunch more bad guys, I'll write more later.

They'll be from the court of owls who are all people of wealth and influence and are high up in certain positions so they have a lot of control and killed other members of the court which is the connection to all the rats in the first movie.

Robins origin story will be incorporated and he'll be a central character in the movie.

The riddler and the joker will try to and maybe even succeed in trapping batman in an escape room like lair and try to blow him up, they've also placed bombs around the city just like the one used to blow up the seawall.

Catwoman will come back.

Also the source code on the website is not finished, it has a ¿ Which in Spanish indicates "It does not mean anything. It is void of semantic meaning: “¿” is just a question mark (signo de interrogación) that we use at the beginning of the sentence."

https://www.quora.com/What-does-mean-in-Spanish?top_ans=1477743759433903

So there will be more although we know that it's not done, I just thought that was interesting.

I feel like there's more of the code to crack and there's some sort of puzzle to solve so maybe this can help with some of the investigation and problem solving, although there might not yet be anything else.

I feel like it'll be a showdown, an infinity war/civil war esk battle between the infamous court, with many more appearances from some of the most loved heroes and villains.

There's more lore I think but I'm tired lol and haven't figured it all out, see if you can

Hope this helps

#OnlyInGotham: In The Pale Moonlight Edition

@harleyification, here's something a bit different based on my favourite tag on Tumblr (and my favourite blog @hashtagonlyingotham).

Enjoy and be gentle. ---

#OnlyInGotham do you see a child offer a vigilante a slice of pizza and be given a statuette of an egyptian god in exchange.

---

#OnlyInGotham would someone (my thirsty-ass brother) use studying egyptology as an excuse to stare at pictures of Moon Knight's thighs. #thighroglyphs

---

Out of all the films I was expecting Moon Knight to like, Tomb Buster?! He just crawled in through the window during the opening and stayed until the credits rolled. #moonknight'satombbusterfan #batmancomegetyourkid #OnlyInGotham

Did Superman's dog just abduct Mr Knight? #he'sjustdanglinglikearagdoll #supermancontrolyourdog #OnlyInGotham

My first Halloween in Gotham was eventful. Nearly got gassed by Scarecrow, watched him get his teeth kicked in by Moon Knight (the mummy one, and when they were still just above Batman's waist), and then convinced him to join us Trick or Treating. #OnlyInGotham #batdadwaswatchingfromabove #we'resoonjoinedbyakidwhomayhavebeenthefirstrobin? #moonknightkeptholdinghishand

TIL that Moon Knight lives in a sentient building. #OnlyInGotham #it'sbiggerontheinside

#OnlyInGotham can you tell if a vigilante is pissed off by their drink order. Moon Knight just walked into a coffee shop and ordered, I'm not kidding, "a grande quad nonfat one-pump no-whip mocha". #redrobin'sisjustasingleexpresso #thatisthenpouredintoagrandecupfullofredbull

#OnlyInGotham will the local himbo billionaire: 1. Solve a missing persons case (and it being a child) 2. File for emergency custody of formerly missing child immediately 3. Get custody

#OnlyInGotham does a cult develop based on an ancient egyptian god. #someonecalloneofthemoonknights

Trying to keep busy by actually doodling and trying not to let myself try too hard, with varying results.

Mostly Penguins, lots of brush tests, trying to get some kind of rhythm going, experimenting with different facial features and attempting to make coloring a little easier on myself.

I'm never going to apologize for drawing old mens tits

As much as I do genuinely love Tim's teleporting abilities, I do also think it would've been fun for his Knighthood travel method to be making his staff an atla style glider.

Mr. Misha Collins trying to decide what to do with you if you don't watch #CWGothamKnights tonight! #RenewCWGothamKnights please!

[phitzybabie]

it’s crazy to me how both Heath Ledger and Paul Dano lived in the same neighborhood (albeit at different points in time)

Between Pink Ladies and Gotham Knights and my continuing obsession with Willow.... I'm feeling really fkn gay this Pride. Who's with me? 🤪

The Batman (2022) isn't perfect by any means, but it is still a phenomenal film and one of the best pieces of Bat-media in recent memory.

Firstly, the aesthetic. Seemingly small but an incredibly important part. BTAS was broody, '89 was gothic, Forever was campy, TDK was... bad. And TB I think finds a real sweet spot in between vibes. It's dark, serious, it's got a technological noir, and yet still has vibrancy and color and (the key to my heart) neon.

One scene, you'll be sitting in an abandoned tunnel with shadows and muddy colors, the next you'll be surrounded by police under white lights, and the next you'll be in a night club with LEDs of every color you can think.

The fights. This film has some of the best Batman fights I've ever seen period. Really just action in general. The night club, the hallway, the finale. It's not like TDK where every fight is slow, precise, methodical, and honestly boring. Each fight or chase here is energetic and entertaining. The choreography is excellent, the stakes are legitimately high, and the settings are always unique.

The night club is crowded and overwhelming, with people swinging, shouting, and grabbing at Bats who aren't even apart of the fight. His skills and equipment save his life multiple times, whether it's block a bullet with a precise pipe throw or survive a shotgun blast with his armor. When he finally grabs Penguin you feel as overwhelmed and animalistic as he does.

The precinct escape is tight and tense. From the punch to the jump, every second makes you feel the absolute abominable stress of trying to escape a building like this. Officers pouring out of every room, bullets whizzing by and beaming off his suit. Merely seconds to get the flight suit on before they come pouring out to the roof. We experience the fall with him as his nerves spike, all culminating in a quick second decision that ends with him crashing into the side of the road.

Gotham. The beloved city feels full here. Subways are crowded, streets are packed. The crime feels real. Vandals, gang violence, thieves, assassins, crime families. It's not just militants and killers. We see the systemic issues in place that cause these. We see the feelings and social strains that make people do this. It's like you're taking a peak into another world with context and history you don't know but understand. It feels right.

The characterizations. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "Bruce Wayne is the mask, Batman is the real you" thing inflamed by TDK. And I really don't like "the Waynes were corrupt and did bad things, even for good reasons".

I think there's so much more to say about the two very different, very real sides to Bruce's personality. The one that comes out as billionaire playboy philanthropist, and the one that comes out as a violent and vengeful demon. Both who are willing to suffer for their causes. And I think there's so much more when the Waynes die from a mugging. That the crime is so bad it took the highest. That it could take anyone at any time, even the beloved elite.

However it does something right that most other Bat-media fails at. It makes Batman a symbol of hope. It demonstrates a growth in himself. That he can do more good to inspire the people than to instill fear in them.

Pandaredd made a good video on this, but in Crisis On Two Earths, Bats' opposite is represented as the ultimate nihilist. This means that at his core, Batman is really the ultimate optimist. And that makes sense. You don't put on a suit and fight crime, you don't try to create resources to help people, you don't befriend and reform your own Rogues gallery unless you believe you can change something. That all the work you do, all the suffering you experience will be worth it when you get to know the world healed.

And that's something The Batman understands. Batman started as a symbol of fear. So that every criminal hesitates at an alley. Panics at a shadow. But he became something else. A symbol of optimism. So that people can walk the streets at night. That they can get the help they need. That they can look into the sky with hope.

You are just as bad, as the Joker.

These are some of the characters, films, shows, animes, books and games I'm a fan of.

#OnlyInGotham: In The Pale Moonlight Edition 3

Well, ask and thou shall recieve. @harleyification, a bit to tide you over until I can do a full part again.

Enjoy and be gentle ---

Does anyone else remember when the Moon Knights were little? Because I have a vivid memory of batdad buying li'l Mr Knight a coconut milk hot chocolate after fighting Mr Freeze. #OnlyInGotham #He was so cute #Just a little gentleman

---

Matches Malone has a kid?! #He got in a car with a younger guy who called him 'dad' #They both had the same mustashe!

---

#OnlyInGotham will a video of a vigilante threatening to skin someone's face go viral within minutes.

---

Someone light the Bat-Signal, there's a werewolf running around. #OnlyInGotham #One of the Moon Knights is sprinting after them

---

Why are there pill-shaped creatures cosplaying as the bats? Including gadgets and abilities? They've even infiltrated the Wayne Gala! #OnlyInGotham #Theyarekindacutetho
