The Batman

This is awesome

Kind of ruined by Bale's dopey mouth expressions, so roundly and deservedy mocked by all the internet -- even without his cancer gargle. ;)

Also, legitimately done before! -- Warner Brothers, much as they did before releasing parts 2 and 3 of the Matrix trilogy, commissioned a number of famous anime houses to create a set of anime shorts set between Begins and TDK. I wasn't super fond of most of them, but when Warner Brothers heard that fans didn't want to hear Bale's garglemouth -- even though (according to the story) he had already dubbed all the shorts -- they got Conroy to come in and play the Nolan Batman.

The Telltale Batman game is on sale for $8.74 right now over on GOG. Is it worth it?

Just buy it, you crack whore.

The first one? Yes if:

1.) You can put up with the game being a cinematic adventure, with occasional quick-time events (not usually fatal), instead of being like the Arkham games.

and

2.) You're okay with some pretty strong changes to the lore.

also

3.) You're okay with a quite hard-R Batman 'film'. And don't expect much from the Joker (yet).

Warner Brothers gives up trying to make good DCEU cinematic universe movies, decides to start making totally standalone DC films again, starting with The Batman -- and then a Joker / Harley origin film.

Because surely that was the problem all along.  ::) :P

Potentially three Batmen and three Jokers in, what, five years? Not counting TDK from Nolan's trilogy. Also not counting the Gotham City Sirens film still in planning, presumably including Leto and Robbie from SuiSquad.

The Joker/Harley origin film will be directed by the pair behind the Cats and Dogs duology. But Scorsese might be producing.

WB really knows how not to universe build

They need to give the whole thing to Joss Whedon for 3-5 years. Not for directing everything, but for overall creative direction.

With a Horta as his sidekick.

Less than 24 hours, the Batman film is back in continuity.
