That’s a cool idea but if anything that feels more contrived and soap opera to me. Which the Hush story fundamentally is, to be fair, there’s not a lot of getting around that if you’re actually doing Normal Hush.

Less soap opera than my old theory that Thomas Elliot was named by his mother after Thomas Wayne, whom she had an affair with which was the real reason Edward Elliot tried to smear Thomas Wayne@

Unironically could actually kinda see that happening lmao.

I was really into that theory for a while but it is so similar to Joker

What?

The allusions aren't subtle. Like at all. To the point that he has an online community. Do you think far right folks aren't psychotic?

I never implied that they aren’t. Though, Riddler killed off people who would be considered far right and believed that Reàl wouldn’t make a difference.

Do not continue a political conversation with me. I have no interest in that.

I mean. It very easily could be the entire point of this particular story. I’m not saying it is, but there’s at bare minimum a 50/50 shot Hush is the big bad and that’s one of the core tenets of Hush.

Right. Like I said, they don’t have to be friends. I just feel like it doesn’t really add anything if they were.

Are you guys under the impression Bruce having childhood friends is an impossibility?

Speaking for myself, no.

No, he’s absolutely one of them. There’s absolutely no indication in the movie proper it was any sort of act of cynical manipulation. That’s basically what the entire movie is about.

Unless we’re not counting Riddler Year One as cannon. It’s pretty funny that Riddler would claim to be one of them and send them all into a death trap while he’s safe in Arkham.

I do disagree that that’s what the entire movie is about though.

I'm very curious if Reeves will expand on why the journalist was so determined to screw Thomas that he died for it.

If the existence of the Elliot Bridge means anything in the grand scheme of things, I wonder if Reeves will give the Elliots the traditional Cobblepot origin, a once-wealthy family who may have been ruined by the Waynes or at least blamed them for their downfall.

And a right winger tried to kill Trump. What's your point?

"Look I quoted you but you have to stop talking after I make my point because I don't like talking about this."

Yeah, that's not how it works.

What honor do you expect amongst the pathetic?

You say you don't want to talk about it, talk about it, and then show a real lack of knowledge on the subject.

Like I said, I’m not talking about politics here. Not with you nor anyone else. If you can’t respect that, there’s a block button. I’m not responsible for anyone’s assumptions.

Well I wasn't assuming anything until now.

Honestly unless they're gonna take it in a genuinely unique direction, I'm not particularly interested in retreading the "THOMAS WAYNE WAS A SECRET *****E" plot. Batman 1 painted Thomas as a flawed human being who still upheld his values and convictions. One of said values being his family, which I feel like an affair subplot would sorta just undermine in a way I'm not interested to see
