  I really like the twist that Batman inspired his villains. He realizes that his whole vengeance message is inspiring the wrong people and at the end he turns to inspire hope. A good character arc and makes me more excited for future sequels

  Hush is an extremely good villain for Reeves' Batman. Especially considering we got some really good Jokers already in a short span of time. Hoping he'll explore some court of owl stuff too.

  As an accountant, I was so happy when I heard them say Riddler was originally a forensic accountant. If anyone can uncover corruption, it's someone who's looking for fraud.

  I wanna see Scarecrow in this franchise, he seems to fit the aesthetic of this series quite well.

  What I like about this is that Bruce Wayne only by appearance alone is known to Gotham. Not by his actions which was very evident with the conversation with the future mayor. So if Hush does roll up he can however he wants as Bruce Wayne and no one will think twice.

  Love how the Riddler was actually menacing in this version like he should be. He was inspired by the Zodiac Killer and it shows

  This is like the first time the Riddler has not been treated as a joke in a Batman movie, and it works perfectly.

  I love the idea of Bruce realizing there's a more meaningful and peaceful way he can save Gotham by using his family's money to build better schools, affordable housing, free hospitals, ect which will create more job opportunities, get people off the streets, and reduce crime.

  Matpat: Puts theory out...<br>Warner: releases deleted scene contradicting MatPat&apos;s theory...<br>Me: Well, at least we didn&apos;t have to wait two years to confirm another wrong theory...

  I fully believe that Reeves knows what he&apos;s doing with this. He subtly drops the joker in the first movie to keep diehard joker fans coming to see the movie just to look for future Easter eggs. However, he sets up enough lore that he can go so many ways with the villain of the next movie. The joker is going to be saved for last. Even if there&apos;s hints along the way to track the joker&apos;s rise.

  Just as a side on Matt Reeves talking about the deleted Joker scene, the way he describes it almost sounds a lot like an allusion to Silence of the Lambs. That might be the way to bring back Joker; not as the main villain, but a supporting character in the same vein as Hannibal Lector.

  i like the twist that this theory was already proven false DURING THE THEORY ITSELF so this is just them exploring a cool possibility more than trying to guess future events like usual. it is functionally the same as any other theory video but this one feels more fun because of the framing, i feel
