For all the talk of 'Kids will hate it', I loved Dark Knight Rises as a pre-teen, as did much of the auidence, and as would've Kevin Smith had he been young.
6:12 - He DID do the same thing in The Dark Knight. Dressed as Bruce Wayne, at a fundraiser for Harvey Dent, putting the guy in a chokehold in front of guests (not EVERYBODY, but more than just Rachel) and being like, "THEY'VE COME FOR HIM. STAY HIDDEN." in the Batman voice...
I feel like there was actually a lot of humor in The Dark Knight Rises, it was just done in a very muted and sardonic way. Like Alfred telling Bruce, "Maybe you should learn to make your own bed!" and then cutting to Alfred being completely unimpressed by Bruce making his own bed. "Call me!?" "No, no, do we still have any cars around the place?" Alfred lights up. "Yes! One or two!" "Need an appointment at the hospital for my leg!" "Which hospital!?" "Whichever one Jim Gordon's in." Alfred is MUCH less happy about this. "What brings you out of cryo-sleep, Mr. Wayne?" "Proceeds go to the big, fat spread. It's not about charity, it's about feeding the ego of whichever society hag laid this on." "Actually, this is my party, Mr. Wayne. And the proceeds will go where they should, because I paid for the big, fat spread myself." "Can we get some girls in here?"
Granted, I don't think any of the jokes in The Dark Knight Rises were as funny as Batman and Gordon in The Batman. They're walking into the abandoned orphanage and Batman says, 'No. No guns." And Jim Gordon just goes, "Yeah... that's YOUR thing, man." And it just cracked me up because the way he said it was almost as if to imply, 'Yeah, I'm a police officer, bro. I'm supposed to have a gun. If YOU have a gun, WE have a problem. But I'm good."
Batman (like horror movies) is just a reflection of the world. I guess It's the hope the world will become lighter that makes you want to have a lighter Batman. I'm with you on that. I guess these darker Batmen are not the heroes we deserve... but...
5:55 I thought the logical explanation for that would be; he can't be absolutely sure that she, or anyone else isn't still within earshot or potentially listening via the area potentially being bugged no? 🤷
31:35 "I can't imagine we'll ever see a Batman that dark ever again in our lifetime." He couldn't have predicted that Zack Snyder's grand plan for the DCEU involved a Batman who killed and branded criminals 😂😂
@MitchellQuondam or Batman 2022. I used to love the dark knight trilogy and sorta still do, but when you watch Batman 2022, you realize how they weren't even close to bringing Gotham City to life.
@@renaissancemanmedia2404 The Dark Knight Trilogy did a good job taking Batman and putting him in the real world, but The Batman did a good job of taking Gotham and making it real.
This pod went by faster than Walt Flanagan's Dog.

I liked it. It was released when I was 20. It's a good film. Not a great one. I just love someone who is passionate about Batman.

It would be great if Comic Book Men came back

Kevin says next one won’t be dark. Then we got killer Batman Ben and emo Pattinson. I think it’s time to go lighter
