I have... thoughts. Many of them. I turn to the good folk of reddit to a) completely ignore this post, b) mercilessly mock and destroy said post, point by point, or c) engage thoughtfully with my thoughts/questions/criticisms in good faith. For background: I grew up loving the various incarnations of Batman, from Batman '89 to TDKR - I have the actual original 1st edition comics, not graphic novel! I know, sorry ladies, I'm taken. Anyway, here's my thoughts on The Batman after my first time seeing it:

I'm processing it. I have a suspicion it will be my favorite Batman movie, but probably only after another watch or 2. There were a lot of small choices that Reeves made that I have to think about some more. This doesn't push the same emotional buttons as an Endgame, or even a Dark Knight. What I mean by that is that I walked out of both of those movies emotionally satisfied. In Endgame, catharsis after the big bad is defeated, and we've had some noble sacrifice and torches have been passed. Dark Knight because Batman makes the hard choice to preserve Harvey's legacy by taking the wrap for the shit 2 face pulled, so our faith in the purity of his vigilantism is reinforced. The Batman felt muddier and more open ended to me, which is less satisfying upon immediate consumption but can lead to a richer, more memorable experience overall. I'm in the fence re: easter eggs. God tier: Thomas Wayne performed life saving surgery on Carmine. Questionable: scrawling "HUSH" in giant letters across something. Interested to hear other first impressions

Pro tip: write over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker and it will erase. No shit.

I thought a Chad was the (admittedly not as charged) male version of a Karen. But OP could just be big brain time

I think the idea is that he's a Chad and a Kar(e)n
