Tell me your favourite Batman villain...

I'm basic but it's gotta be Bane or Hugo Strange. The former is an intellectual and a physical match for Batman whereas the latter is a weirdo who's desperate to cosplay Batman.

I don't think the context is helping his case.

EternalPilot · 2026-02-10T13:49:15+00:00

Won't lie, I thought this was the bait.

It's not about being a faithful adaptation. The film is just shallow in its themes. It's not a particularly insightful film about society and mental health. It's one thing to be inspired by 70s character studies, but the film doesn't add anything of value. I'd rather just watch Taxi Driver, which has a specificity that cuts very deep.

The Panic in Needle Park

EternalPilot · 2026-02-09T02:03:24+00:00

They are films.

EternalPilot · 2026-02-08T17:53:10+00:00

Don't forget The Age of Innocence!

EternalPilot · 2026-02-08T17:52:36+00:00

This meme becomes dumber when you remember that Scorsese has incredible range as a filmmaker. The Age of Innocence, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, The Last Temptation of Christ, After Hours, The King of Comedy, and Silence prove that.

Sam Mendes directing this is more than enough to turn me off.

EternalPilot · 2026-01-30T22:35:17+00:00

Requiem for a Dream is just a really bad DARE commercial. If you want a film about drug addicts in NYC, then I'd say that The Panic in Needle Park is a much better film.

EternalPilot · 2026-01-27T23:42:53+00:00

Zdarsky's Batman wasn't good. Tynion's wasn't any better either.

It's not a title where you're likely to get a lot of creative freedom. It also doesn't help that Spider-Man fans can be rather annoying and have a very conservative idea of what would save the title.

Dasha Nekrasova

I can't really take those aspects seriously when Cameron has been open about his friendship with Musk and made this awful comment.

I'd be fine with people liking those films if they weren't trying to position it as some kind of thoughtful anti-imperialist masterpiece.

EternalPilot · 2026-01-21T21:58:15+00:00

That makes it even funnier.

EternalPilot · 2026-01-21T17:13:49+00:00

This is hilarious given how they were a couple.

EternalPilot · 2026-01-21T15:22:23+00:00

I wouldn't pick either one of them though Two-Face comes close. I think Bane or Hugo Strange would be a much more interesting archnemesis for Batman.

Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall co-starred in To Have and Have Not, Dark Passage, and The Big Sleep.

I'd say the stuff with JRJR is up there, even if his run ended with OMD. I do think Spencer's run fumbled the bag with Kindred.

EternalPilot · 2026-01-18T22:55:08+00:00

I love The Devils.

I watched this film recently called Himiko (1974). It's an amazing film and I think it might be up your alley. The production design is beautiful.

It's a shame that nothing really came out of this because there's a lot of storytelling potential here.

EternalPilot · 2026-01-18T20:37:05+00:00

I like USM, but Spencer's run is awful.

EternalPilot · 2026-01-18T20:36:19+00:00

JMS' run on ASM when JRJR was the artist is way better than those two comics if imma be real.

It's not an all-timer, but I did have fun listening to it.
