The Batman General News & Discussion Thread - Part 2

I mean, you have Bill Gates, who is trying to spend every cent he owns on stuff like "curing deadly diseases worldwide". And yet somehow, he also ends up getting hate. . . *cough*

Because of the influence of his wife, who is currently divorcing him because...
He tarnished the reputation of their charitable endeavours by actively associating with known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein after he was already convicted, and you know cheating on her and sexually harassing employees.

Scoopers having pateron accounts is the definition of grifting.

I can't second this enough. I feel like people only follow these "scoopers" because they WANT to believe it's real, despite no evidence.

Let's not forget that he is also the person who lobbied for the COVID vaccines to stay under copyright protection, because capitalism. Donating to charity doesn't make you a good person.

Philanthropy is also often the act of a guilty soul trying to atone for the evil they did to make their money*... See Carnegie, Rockefeller, the Vanderbilts, etc.

Bad people can do good things. Great people can do vile things. No one is pure either way and people seem to forget that.

Gates may be a ******* (not surprising if you know the history of Microsoft) but that doesn't diminish the good he and his foundation has done.

 

[GothamCity]

The trailer is great.

Batman #342

after this movie is released, would love to see a making-of special feature that shows how deep a dive into the source material reeves and company went.

This honestly just makes me hope someone uploads that trailer version of Something in the Way and Giacchino's score

I need it in my brain lobes

This legitimately could have been an official trailer.

This actually gets you hyped to watch TDK again like it's 2008.

This legitimately could have been an official trailer.

Obviously we have to watch the movie to make a fair judgement, but damn this edit does kinda reflect how much more lame the fight scenes in TDK seem compared to The Batman. And I say this as someone that loves TDK.

Sure, but that good isn't all that defines Gates as a person either.

Nice catch someone found

This is damn beautiful!

Btw, the trailer player in front of my screening of Dune. Hearing that theme blast so loud was just *chefs kiss*

Main trailer is already playing? Damn, need to hurry ASAP to the theater.

Soon we'll be able to say that there won't be reshoots definitively. It's almost December.

 

[Gothamsknight]

And we inch closer and closer to March 4th!
