I just saw The Batman in theatres today, and it was everything I hoped for!
*SPOILER* if you haven’t watched it, don’t scroll
also.... not related but how does one put a spoiler break in a post?
I loved the whole depressed revenge-obsessed Bruce Wayne, I feel like Bruce’s is so often portrayed as this playboy that it seems like his trauma is kinda pushed down and ignored. Having him be a loner who is only focused on his mission is a Bruce I haven’t seen before, and I love it. Obviously I would not mind if they also had him become playboy philanthropist Bruce too, but he needed to figure his shit out before and I’m glad they had Bruce do that.
The set of Gotham was beautiful, and as someone who lives in NYC seeing all the changed landmarks was hilarious. One of the prettiest superhero movies I’ve seen by far.
Also, stan bisexual Selina Kyle for clear skin!
Now, for the actual reason I am writing this post. In the movie, there is a moment when Bruce is shot multiple times by the Riddler groupies (someone needs to come up with a name for them - Riddlies?) and he is passing out in Selina’s arms, only for her to be attacked by one of Riddler’s groupies (a Riddlie). Bruce injects himself with some green liquid and is suddenly up and at it, like he wasn’t shot 2 minutes earlier. He also starts fucking this Riddlie (someone please come up with a better name) up, like was fully going to beat him to death if Gordon did not intervene. Hence my theory/question:
Is it possible that Bruce injected himself with water from a Lazarus Pit?
It would explain the quick recovery time from an injury that he was going to pass out from earlier (so probably a really bad one) and the “madness” and violence he exhibited until Gordon snapped him out of it.
I’m not sure, thoughts?
