Hear it’s good, but—


I’m not interested in anything connected to Reeves’ lame-ass Batman-in-name-only universe.

Okay... so what do you need from us?

Your undying admiration and devotion.

Gotcha

I highly recommend you watch it. While it is set in the Batman universe, any connection to the movie is minimal — and that’s a good thing. This series surpasses the movie by a staggering margin, in every conceivable way. Colin Farrell delivers a performance so extraordinary, it rivals Heath Ledger’s Joker, and dare I say it, might even surpass it. Truly, this show is on an entirely different level.

I’m hearing the same from others.

So I may check it out.

I would disagree. It's only mildly entertaining.

Signed, million man.

I would actually agree with you to an extent — I found the first couple of episodes boring and had to force myself to keep watching. However, by the end, I was impressed by how good it turned out to be. The last two episodes were amazing, and Colin Farrell's performance absolutely blew me away.

I'm on episode 7 and it's a chore to get through.

Signed, million man.

reply

Yeah, for me, episode 7 was when it started to get good, but episode 8, the finale, was really where it all came together. The ending wasn’t what I expected, but in hindsight, it all made perfect sense.

Good we don't need people with shit taste supporting it. Leave the quality products to people who have taste. Matt Reeves Batman is the definitive take on live action Batman.

reply

Oh!

You’ve pierced my soul with your insult!

The Batman sucks.

So much.

And he was totally useless in the film.

He was Riddler’s clueless bitch.

If that’s your idea of quality product, you can have it. 😄

reply

The Batman is amazing. We got a follow up show, and are now getting a sequel. It didn't need your approval for this to happen. Choke on it bitch.

reply

Schumacher got two films too.

You saying that was quality product?

And how can I choke on something I won’t watch?

You make no sense.

Especially about The Batman being quality product. 😄

reply

Did Schumacher's films get the critical reception Matt Reeves films did? Nope! The Batman didn't just make money, it was a hit critically and by the mass majority. The Schumacher films only made money nothing more. You choke on facts buddy boy. You don't need to see it to choke on facts.
