Alhazred posted:In the comics it's heavily implied that he knows that Batman is Bruce Wayne but doesn't care. Because, why would he? Wasn't there a scene in a recent (ie, last ten years) comic where Bruce sees the Joker in his cell while on a tour, starts speaking to him as Batman, and Joker doesn't even respond?

I mean, it's not his business that Batman chooses to dress up like Bruce Wayne from time to time. Why would the Joker gently caress with something that seems to make his arch nemesis miserable?

I think the dramatic irony is probably the joke. In-universe I feel like it makes sense because it's like saying that Paris Hilton or Elon Musk is Batman. Without hard evidence, it's unbelievable to the point of a joke. With hard evidence, of course it makes Batman impossible to take seriously any more.

I went to see Across the Spider-Verse yesterday, but my IIMM actually has nothing to do with that. In fact, it had fewer IIMMs for me than the first. It was actually the trailer for the new Trolls movie that got to me. Beyond the fact that, to borrow the words of my art-teacher nephew, it seemed to be vomited onto the screen, its use of so many well-known pop songs made me wonder: are kids' movies basically just money-laundering operations for the music industry now?

Aw I love Scarecrow. What a creepy fucker. Oh well he's always getting dead and he's a sort of werewolf half the time so who cares. In Lego DC Supervillains, as in that one ep of the animated series, he is voiced by Jeffrey Combs.

Terminology is a little off, but I'd say it's a definite side effect of, like, three companies owning the rights to all entertainment media.

The needle drops in the new Mario were more aggravating when I went in knowing they had actually done a full score with relevant Nintendo music first. What original music does the Trolls franchise have associated with it, though?

The pop music in the Mario movie felt really out of place when the score was already constantly interrupting itself to drop another Mario theme. Trolls 2 built its plot around the licensed music they used, each tribe has a different genre and the story is about Metal invading everyone and the pop music trolls try to unite everyone to fight back, only to discover that the ancestors of the pop music trolls did a big ol colonialism on everyone else first and are the root cause of the conflict. It's a little wild how they made a pretty solid allegory about imperialism and race using music genres in a movie about Trolls dolls.

I have a different issue with that new Trolls trailer. I've seen it a couple of times at the theater now, and I feel like I have seen the movie. It's so long and they show so much of it. They basically cover every major story beat and climactic scene that the ending pretty much becomes implied. It's like a speed run of the entire flick.

FreshFeesh posted:In Atomic Blonde why did Satchel try so hard to keep Spyglass alive? Quoting myself because I thought about this today and could understand it if she wanted to hand him over to the Americans. At that point she didn’t have the list, and didn’t know if she could get it, so she was going to be burned either way. At least with Spyglass alive he could be of some use to her actual bosses. Total conjecture but it makes a little bit of sense at least.

Spiderverse 2: I didn't have any reasonable way to quickly and politely explain so many things to my girlfriend and she got annoyed at me for laughing every time Spider-Punk was on point in particular and also pretty much throughout the not-serious parts. Funnily enough there was a gender-swapped couple right next to us having the same issue. Also it ends in a cliff-hanger, but drat it's a good one. Anyway I think someone already brought up 2099's characterization as irritating and I agree.

On the Joker not caring about Bruce wayne, I liked the Gotham twist where he hyperfixated on him because he kept failing to kill him, so it was just on his to-do list for ever. And then Bruce does poo poo like deliberately taunting the Joker so that he puts a bunch of staples in his arm, and then using one of the staples embedded in his arm to pick the handcuffs, corners the Joker in a hall of mirrors and beats him so hard his face falls off. I also liked how the Joe Chill stuff resolved.

Remulak posted:Wouldn’t a handcuff key ring or prison pocket be easier? He was kidnapped at the time, so only really had what he had on him. It helped that the actor really sold Bruce being a psychotic little bastard, in an early episode Tommy Elliot is bullying him at school so Alfred makes a point to give him his fathers watch, then takes him to Tommy's house, and knocks on the door and Bruce just beats the poo poo out of Tommy with the watch wrapped around his hand like a brass knuckle.

I liked the series of shorts "Baman Piderman", they were very cute. Like something drawn and written by a three year old, but animated incredibly well and becoming it's own coherent world.
