Photo manipulations or video edits that do not drastically alter the original. Pictures of merchandise, without any indication of effort put behind presentation. Petitions. Pictures or news links of celebrities that don't relate to Batman. Other posts that the moderator team may deem low-quality, and not conducive to discussion | |
8. Avoid reposts | Content (such as comic excerpts or video clips) that has already been posted in the past 3 months, or is among the top 25 posts of all time, will be removed. An article pertaining to previously-posted news will be removed, unless it is the original source, or if it adds additional content not seen in the previous link. | |
9. Pornographic content is forbidden | Explicit nudity or sexual content are not allowed unless published in an official DC work, or created by a DC-affiliated creator. If you're uncertain whether or not your submission will fall under this rule, feel free to ask in the modmail. Beyond that, all allowed links that contain questionable content for a workplace setting (such as sensuality, blood, and gore) should be covered with the NSFW tag. | |
10. Limit topics listed in the weekly discussion thread to that thread. | New posts should not be made for any topics listing in the monthly discussion thread pinned in the sub, instead discussion should be posted as comments in that thread. | |
11. Restricted AI content | AI must be the result of effort and deliberate design, not simply the output of a prompt. AI posts also need a text description if not a text post, outlining how the content was generated in one or two sentences. |

We all know there's shark repellent in there of course.
Before I say ANYTHING else, I'd like to clarify that I do not think The Batman2 should be about Joker, I think it should be about another villain and then Joker can be set up as a small rogue along the way.
For this idea to work, Bruce Wayne adopts a young and naive Dick Grayson in The Batman2 after his parents were recently murdered and Batman sympathizes with such a similar background, preferably 17yrs to avoid silliness, he aspires to be just like the caped crusader, and we'll grow a bond to him as he learns from a real vigilante. Joker will start off as more of a Baron Zemo, trapped in his maximum-security penitentiary yet mysteriously impacting Gotham with his influence alone, similar to Hannibal Lecter. Now here's where things get interesting
The Batman3: Killing Joke
By now Dick is an adult man, part-time vigilante and psychotherapist as he tries to unravel what makes criminals tick, Dick finds out that it's Joker who killed his parents and as such attempts a Hannibal Lecter scenario where Joker is locked up and Dick must break his psyche and find out why he did what he did to assure it doesn't happen to other people. This backfires as Grayson barrels into insanity, losing track of time and perception as Joker plays mindgames with him, the symptoms of this exchange gradually worsen.
The Twist:
We've been seeing all of this from Dicks perspective, not Batmans, it turns out that Dick has been an unreliable narrator this whole time and from Batmans perspective, Dick has been gone for 3 years, by the time he does find out what happened Joker reveals its too late and Dick sees the world for what it really is now.
Inspiration~ Joker: Killer Smile
Big Reveal:
Joker has molded Dick into his own twisted vision of Batman, The Batman Who Laughs! Bruce must now battle a chilling reflection of himself knowing full well it's his steps-son as Gotham is lead to believe that Batman has gone rogue since this sinister impostor has imitated his place in the city.
So like I’d want to begin reading comics and Batman at first (that’s why I’m here in fact (don’t even know if it’s the good sub)). And so ils want to know witch comics would be good to begin with the series. Oh and I read the Wayne’s family on webtoon so if the bat family could be in it would be cool if they’re in it . Also I live in Europe so it would be better if they are edited here and as French is my native language it can be helpful to know if they exist in this language but I’m totally able to read in English . Hope you can help me.
Wore to middle school yesterday and no one knew who I was. I got a lot of are you Beetlejuice or a Game Show Host.

I'm a pretty big batman nerd and I've seen clips of some animated movies and even watched some (one was a while ago, something about Damien). Do any of the animated movies have continuity with each other and if so which ones? I'm significantly more interested in later robins like Tim and Damien and I like seeing dick as Nightwing for reference
Last night my friends and I had a fire and a few drinks, and ended up coming up with a pretty fun conversation starter. It goes as follows...
You have been put in charge of a new Batman movie. But the catch is, you have to fill out your cast with previous versions of the characters whom we have already seen in live action. In other words your Batman can be Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, Robert Pattinson, etc. Your Alfred can be Michael Cain, Jeremy Irons, etc. You can choose any of the following --
Batman
Robin
Batgirl
Alfred
Commissioner Gordon
Up to three villains
Two cameos or side characters
You are not obligated to use any characters you don't want to. The two cameos or side characters can be any other characters you want (Lucius Fox, René Montoya, etc), including other villains who only make a minor appearance or play a minor role.
Your choices must be versions from a previous live action movie (or show). So if you choose Kevin Conroy, for example, you get the version he played in the CW crossover event.
I thought you guys might find it fun as a thought experiment. I'll post my answer in the comments, so as not to influence your own.
