>>7993133It's amazing they were "so afraid" of the movie bombing, yet were so sure it would do well that they wouldn't let Gotham have a comic-accurate Joker because of it.
>the "bat embargo" shit they've done for almost 20 years on mediaTake away the license and you'd have a halfway-decent standalone movie(even ff the concept has been done several times before of some guy snapping from too much shit) but they wanted to pretend this was the Batman character when they're not remotely similar- and fucked other media in the ass on the character in the process. I blame this for Mark Hamill not getting to play Joker on CW.
It mostly did well among conservatives too. They're the only ones I ever see loudly applauding it(you'd think a film depicting a white guy being a deranged killer would upset them, but I guess it shows their true colors though). They got PISSED that a Korean director won the beat film Oscar this year, too.
