To all my Carat friends, can one of you please confirm that these photos are of Jeonghan and Joshua? I’m trying to make a surprise gift and I don’t know Seventeen super well. I don’t want to accidetnly use two different photos of the same man 😅

I’m going to see Ateez in November (in Atlanta) and I was wondering if anyone could tell me their experience buying merch at past Ateez concerts? Because buying merch at the last 2 Monsta X world tours was literal hell on earth and I ended up in tears both times. I want to mentally prepare myself 😅

I’m in love with Eddie Munson.

Please yell so much about batman

Okay so first off, I am LOVE. I love my mentally unwell disaster child, but more than that, I love that they actually gave us a mentally unwell disaster Bruce. Because my #1 complaint about Batman, especially movie iterations, is "When does he sleep?" This addresses that: he's literally a nocturnal shut-in. He's pale af from never seeing the sun, which probably doesn't help the depression because his Vitamin D levels must be lower than mine. For most people with an average circadian rhythm, day sleep is not nearly as refreshing or useful as night sleep (it literally takes a special breed to do night shift and not Suffer). So he goes out, gets beat to crap and beats several dozen people to crap, comes home, spends hours logging the night's activities, then sleeps all day. Absolute dumpster fire of a life, and I'm SO proud they address that. Because a nice, healthy Bruce/Bat Balance is something we see from a mature, seasoned Batman. This is year 2 for our Bruce, and he's just all in on the Batman thing. Which, of course, begs the question, "What kind of person does that?" The answer is, "Someone very, very Not Okay."

Let's be real: no sane, stable, well-adjusted, healthy person decides one day, "I'm going to risk my life and legal freedom to go out and be both a detective and a vigilante, while dressed as a giant bat." Bruce is very explicitly none of those things in this movie. He's visibly sleep deprived, he can't make eye contact, he has no idea how to act around human beings, can't hold a conversation, he looks viscerally uncomfortable just existing in his own body, is always Too Still, doesn't blink enough, and hyperfixates so hard it may actually be killing him. He pours everything into Batman, to the point that you get the impression that he feels like Batman is the real person, and Bruce is the construct. He's incredibly unstable and unwell. He is Consumed, and they don't shy away from showing that that's not a good thing.

They also show exactly how bizarre Batman as a concept and person is. He's so surreal and uncanny compared to the legitimate detectives and average people he's Looming around, and everyone is visibly and understandably unnerved by him. He looks about 3 seconds from snapping at any given moment, but in the still, laser-focused way of a big cat or snake. He's either freakishly still, or all brutal motion, and you never know which you're about to get. I finally understand why criminals see the Bat Signal and high-tail it out. They did such a good job of showing us that side of The Bat-- an urban legend horror story, possibly a cryptid, who at the very least is Not A Normal Human Being.

I was so refreshed by how real and grounded everything felt. In a superhero movie, it's easy to get swept up in so much suspension of disbelief, it stops having any real meaning to you as a person. But this was a viscerally real city, with real people, and real issues. Set design was on point, man. That's my Gotham right there.

Also, the sound design! Not just the music, which was PHENOMENAL (bangin' as always Michael), but the use of sound. Foley artists absolutely killing it!! The use of the bootsteps to herald Batman's arrival and underscore how eerie and deliberate every motion is. The tiny little creaks and shuffles of the leather suit, again underscoring the extremely subtle motions he makes. The breath effects for when we're in Riddler's perspective. All the gritty little details of a dirty, crowded city-- nothing was silent, which is just how it should have been!

And holy crap it was SO GORGEOUS. The color! The use of light and, more accurately, shadow! The hallway muzzle-flare-strobe-effect fight! They spared no detail, and some of the shots legit gave me chills. And, of course, at its most basic it did its job with telling us the story and enhancing our understanding of the characters and their inner workings, but it did so in such a thoughtful, deliberate way, that's an essay for another time. But it is for sure on the way.

I have way more feelings and Thoughts about this, so I'll put them in another post below a cut for spoilers because I have GOT to talk about the visual symbolism, theme/thesis, and overall story commentary. So stay tuned, much more yelling to come (probably tomorrow because I done jacked up my neck somehow and typing position is not a great one to be in atm).

But yeah, conclusion part 1: THE BATMAN YES
