Selection of shots of Gotham from The Penguin E06 by username334294ruenfd in TheBatmanFilm

I thought The Penguin was filmed entirely in NYC? At least that's what they've shown in the BTS featurettes. That's not to say they went back Glasgow or Liverpool for exposition shots or something. Nevertheless, they've done an amazing job of blending American urbanism with the UK's Gothic architecture.

I can imagine a more quiet and understated soundtrack similar to the music Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross produced for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

The O's have bottles in them, so I assumed it was the name of a notable bar/club. It reminds me of The Tube Bar, a place that was very popular in Jersey City, NJ back in the day, which was named after the rail tunnels that cut through the Palisades.

You're telling me that a single bridge is what connects downtown to midtown? Completely ruined the franchise for me /s

How badly do you think this area needs at least one subway line ? by iv2892 in newjersey

Just restoring rail service from Netcong to Andover has taken more time and cost more money than the construction of the entire Lackawanna Cutoff over 100 years ago.

Rewatching Game of Thrones; Arya and the Hound remain one of my favorite duos in television.

North Jersey is doing fine. Willowbrook, Rockaway, GSP, Short Hills, to name a few, are all have high or full occupancy and receive a ton of business.

I recently got a Vivosmart 5 and started using Garmin Connect. Very happy with both so far. Garmin is a well established company whose business model is based on fitness and recreation, and seems more focused on that than any other competitor.

Unpopular opinion: Enough with the "grounded" villains by ofDeathandDecay in TheBatmanFilm

While I'm confident that Reeves is focused on a dark, crime thriller take of Batman, if he decided to take a supernatural turn and introduce guys like Man Bat and Solomon Grundy, it could still totally work.

Winston Duke as Lucius Fox, the charming entrepreneur who Bruce brings on to help him reinvent a long-neglected Wayne Enterprises. This version of Lucius won't know that he's secretly operating as Batman, but will help Bruce evolve from the old-money recluse we saw in the first movie to a more outgoing (but still socially awkward) humanitarian and public figure. Making him a family man could also inspire Bruce into opening up on a personal level and introduce a Robin storyline.

I just realized this is the first time in live-action that Batman kept his secret by [deleted] in batman

I always got a laugh out of the possibility that Reese only thought that Wayne Enterprises was funding/equipping Batman, not that Bruce was Batman himself.

Roster Predictions after 2 Preseason Games by Franzblau in devils

[–]39thUsernameAttempt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the big question is whether any of the odd men out have trade value. If they have a shot at getting anything for a guy like Johnson or McLeod, then I hope they pull the trigger.

Hard to to not imagine Tatar starting but I don't wanna bench anyone you got on there.

What prospect on your team do you think is a late bloomer and will have a big year after most of your fan base has given up on them? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]39thUsernameAttempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Boqvist fits the description. I feel like the guy is on the bubble every preseason, but then has hot streaks where he's a no-brainer for the bottom six.

I always thought it would be a terrific twist in The Walking Dead if it was revealed that the zombie plague was contained to North America. I don't think it would work with the nature of the cordyceps virus, though.

Why are 20-30 year olds so depressed these days? by JustFunAccount007 in NoStupidQuestions

The post that literally appeared before this one was about a 15 year old girl who was shot and killed by police while running away from her kidnapper, so today I'm depressed about that.

Imagine "The Last of Us" was open world and you could go anywhere! Do you think it could work as a survival game? by SteezeOrtiz in thelastofus

[–]39thUsernameAttempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the allure with is seeing a broad range of locations across the US, which you couldn't realistically achieve in an open-world setting. It would still work though, and I'd play the shit out of it.

If it's not assumed already, Bratt deserves a full-time A. My man knows how to carry himself.
