There’s rumors going around GCPD: The Batman, a friend of Gordon’s, has been coming around crime scenes and helping out the detectives.

Some say he’s a cryptid. Others say he’s a vampire. Others say “I don’t care what he is, I saw him beat the shit out of a dozen men in ten seconds flat; I don’t want him near me.”

Whatever he is, he’s on the scene now, and all of the officers are on high alert.

—

Gordon: Come take a look at this blood spatter, big guy.

Batman: *glides over, glances around for a few seconds, then grunts*

Gordon: Exactly. And how about the window?

Batman: *turns toward window, points a flashlight at it, then pokes at a shard of glass on the floor* Hn.

Gordon: Yeah, I got that, but which one?

Batman: *mumbles a few syllables*

Gordon: Man, you really have a knack for this. Thanks for the help.

Batman, eyes darting around, jaw clenching, doing a little tapping thing with his fingers:

Gordon: Seriously, I owe you for this. Want to grab a coffee real quick or—

Batman: *launches himself out the window, but his boot catches on the ledge and he goes face-first down the side of the building. He lands in a roll, lays flat on his back for a few moments, then gets up and runs away*

Gordon:

GCPD:

Martinez: 👁 👄 👁

Gordon, rubbing his forehead: Please just…just don’t mention this in front of him—

I think one of the best things about the new batman movie is that rather than go the route of past adaptations where bruce is just this lone savior figure who stands apart in this sea of terrible heartless criminals, it makes it a point to show him as someone with deep roots within gotham and for whom the city’s degradation and the acts of cruelty that go on within it are deeply felt. it shows him as someone who has been the victim of incredible violence, as someone who is still carrying and processing that trauma (while also taking the time to explore his positions of privilege and how that privilege comes into play here) as someone who is able to empathize with other victims of similar trauma and who ultimately comes to understand that perpetuating a continuing cycle of violence is getting all of them nowhere. it takes a look at both the characters of bruce wayne and batman and gives us a hero who is able to look at a devastated city filled with devastated people and decide they’re all worth trying to save. this is a movie that says, “hurt people hurt people, but sometimes, hurt people can help each other too” and I think that’s brilliant.

I’m just thinking about how the first line a civilian says to Batman in the movie is “please don’t hurt me”. How his first monologue is about how the criminals of the city look up and see that light and it strikes fear, but he strikes fear into the people he says he protects as well and the people he fights.

I’m just THINKING about how the LAST INTERACTION HE HAS WITH A CIVILIAN is her holding onto him, terrified to let go, because he didn’t just beat up the people who hurt her, he carried her out of that building and to safety. She isn’t afraid he’s going to hurt her.

IM JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW THE SUN IS RISING BEHIND HIM AS HE CARRIES HER.

i can’t imagine robert pattinson’s bruce would ever text anyone but if he did he would text selina “saw a snail today… effervescent” just like edward cullen would if he also texted

someone may have said this already but I love that this Bruce has an actual living representative of his inner child. like the mayor’s kid is a portrait of him at the most difficult and traumatizing part of his life, where both he and Alfred have been stuck for literally 20 years, and while it’s obviously overwhelming for him to witness the mayor’s son reliving his past, he also gets to take action and physically protect the kid

Alfred did everything he could to protect Bruce but imagine if he had a vigilante/hero looking out for him. even as a traumatized little kid, it would make you feel so important to have that guy on your side. it reminds me of that post about the bikers who go after child abusers, like yeah he’s scary but the scary guy is on his side and that’s comforting.

also, inner child healing work is so much about imagining what it would be like if adult you could be there for that hurting kid. Bruce gets to do that externally. jump in front of a car? yep. pull him out of a flood? sure thing!

“Of course, the idea [to fit with the Year One story] was to make him a younger actor,” he says. “And in the process of writing the movie, I watched [the fantastic 2017 Safdie brothers film] Good Time, and I thought, ‘Okay, he’s got an inner kind of rage that connects with this character and a dangerousness, and I can feel this desperation.’ And I became dead-set on it being Rob. And I had no idea if Rob had any interest! Because, of course, he had done all of these indie movies after he established himself in Twilight.” - Matt Reeves on choosing Robert Pattinson as Batman (Esquire Jan 2022)
