@dogtccth continued from cruel bored curiosity. (app won’t let me paste a link or an icon damn)

All of them. Zsasz audibly swallowed, but he smirked, too. He could play games back.

“Lots of ‘em. Big undertaking to see them all…” But he opens his shirt further, knowing full well there was no space on his person devoid of scars. But his chest was the easiest to reveal.

Zsasz studied Roman for a moment, wondering if he was taking the piss. He figured Sionis had heard the story of his first tally through the grapevine, years before they’d ever crossed paths. Back before he was in Sionis’ employ.

Zsasz lifted his right arm and held it up between them, sliding his opposite finger along a narrow, inch-long tally buried beside four other, deeper scars along his inner forearm.

“First one. Night I found out my purpose. Was gonna jump off Gotham bridge. Vagrant…ratty asshole asked for cash. Didn’t have any. Gambled away the…reserves from my architecture firm. Figured I was better off dead. But this guy…saw my suit. Dressed like a fucking clown back then…” Victor hummed with a soft smirk. He shivered lightly, pleasure surging down his spine from the euphoric recollection. “Guy pulled a knife on me. Didn’t know what I was doing, but the guy was weak as fuck from living off trash…” Zsasz inhaled and looked up at Roman. “Turned his knife on him, saw the relief on him when he stopped moving. …Felt like a god, had to check I could still bleed…” He licked his lips. “Now…just hurts if I don’t do it… Like I got kicked in the balls.” He didn’t have them, but Roman would know what he meant, then.

comic book roman sionis and gotham victor zsasz would be such a fun duo

Gotham Zsasz is actually one of my favorites DC characters (next to Gotham Penguin 🖤). Basically I would place him next to almost everyone and he would shine bright like a diamond 💎. Btw Gotham Zsasz and Penguin? Love their dynamics, they are so fun🖤

I actually don't know comic Roman that well, I mean I've read just a few comics with his appearance and it was fun, but I remember him more from arkham knight games. (Maybe you've got some tips what should I read? I neglected reading comics for a while........). Roman from bop stole my heart and felt me speechless, I'm a slave for the arrogant, narcissist, sexist jerk.

In my headcanon Roman from bop lives in Gotham from tv series, he would fit there so well. Another drama queen in Gotham, him and Oswald having to deal with each other, both fashion icons, yaas

I mean look at themmm

Day 15: Pirates AU ⚓

ah the inherent homoeroticism of a Pirates AU!

Psycho Analysis: The 25 Worst Comic Book Superhero Movie Villains

Hey, remember when I talked about good superhero movie villains? Remember how I said there were a lot less shit ones than I thought? Well, I didn’t say there were no shit ones, so here they are.

Bad comic book superhero movies are, contrary to popular belief, not super common. I only barely managed to scrape together 25, and that’s mostly because they take aspects of mediocre villains up to eleven. But there are people out there who say someone like, I don’t know, Yellowjacket from Ant-Man is a bad villain, and I just have to ask: Why? Sure, he’s generic, he’s not super memorable, but he’s not really offensive and he gets the job done. Or how about Ronan the Accuser! He’s pretty bland, he’s not the best use of a talented actor, but he’s also not unbearably awful to watch and he serves his purpose in the narrative even if he’s not utilized to his fullest extent. Average and mediocre does not equal bad; what I’m looking for are villains who do something truly offensive, who truly disrespect the character they’re playing at best, and who are insulting to the audience at worst.

Here’s some dishonorable mentions, villains who suck a lot of ass but who I left off the list so as not to clog it with filler: Cull Obsidian (Avengers: Infinity War), Tyler Hayward (WandaVision), Incubus (Suicide Squad), and Victor Zsasz (Birds of Prey). Shout out to General Dreykov AKA The Smelly Man (Black Widow), KGBeast (Batman v Superman), and Batroc the Leaper (Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) for being hilariously stupid villains, with Batroc actually almost making it onto the best list as the “So bad it’s good villain.” And finally, a nod to Black Manta (Aquaman) and John Walker AKA USAgent (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), who don’t come out of their respective works looking great due to being an absolute jobber and a character mishandled by the writing respectively, but who I think could easily be fine tuned in sequels to become genuinely great antagonists.

Alright, let’s get this over with. Here are the most miserable excuses for antagonists you could ever hope to see.

25. Cheetah

Wonder Woman 1984

Wonder Woman’s most iconic nemesis finally made it to the big screen, but in a moment of life imitating one of the movie’s themes, we should have been careful what we wished for. Kristen Wiig was a great choice and she is trying so hard to salvage the wonky writing, but no one can really come back from being turned into a CGI cat girl that would make the cast of Cats 2019 feel better about themselves. At least she can take solace in knowing she’s the least of the film’s problems, hence her low spot on the list.

24. Riot

Venom

Venom is a camp masterpiece, but he unfortunately doesn’t have a villain who lives up to that prestigious honor. Riot is the epitome of the Big Grey CGI Villain trend that should have died off years ago, existing with only the barest personality solely so the hero can have a fight at the end. And the fight isn’t even that great! The sequel gave a far better goopy symbiote smack down, so it’s not like it’s impossible to make a cool symbiote vs symbiote fight, but I think the distinction is that they gave Carnage unique powers and a personality to make the battle more engaging. Riot is just boring, and when the rest of the movie decidedly isn’t it makes him stand out in the worst way.

23. Parralax

Green Lantern

Green Lantern may not be the worst superhero movie ever, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at its villain, a generic doomsday villain for the ages. A lot of bad villains are generic doomsday villains, just nonsensical CGI spectacle for the hero to fight in a big final battle, but this case is especially weird for turning a being important to wider GL lore into a Galactus ripoff for Hal to fight in his first adventure. Considering we already have Mark Strong killing it as Sinestro in the film, did we really need some universe-ending fear being as the villain when we could have seen Sinestro’s fall to darkness instead? Much like the other bad things in the movie, though, Parralax isn’t egregiously bad; bad enough to make the list, sure, but putting him any higher would be a gross exaggeration.

22. Whiplash

Iron Man 2

The early days of the MCU were plagued by some of the most boring villains imaginable, and Whiplash is a shining example of that. Mickey Rourke wanted to add more depth and humanity to the character, but he was shot down by executive meddling, resulting in a character as compelling as wet cardboard. He especially stands out as awful since he’s in the same movie as the hilarious moron Justin Hammer. It makes you wonder why they even felt the need to cram in another villain at all.

21. Yon-Rogg

Captain Marvel

Much like a lot of the feminist posturing in Captain Marvel, Yon-Rogg falls incredibly flat in his role as an antagonist. He feels like he’s supposed to represent the patriarchal power structures that have held Carol back before, but he’s just so weak and unimpressive that he’s dealt with in a single blast. The dude with a motorcycle who puts Carol through microagressions is a better antagonist in this regard, and even he was clunky and executed sloppiy. And even disregarding any sort of feminist reading, he has bland, generic motivations (grrr he hates Skrulls!) and is not even close to being a match for Carol. If you want to establish Carol as the strongest Avenger, go ahead, but at least give her someone who can actually put up a fight to battle with.

20. Apocalypse

X-Men: Apocalypse

They got one of the greatest actors of our time (Oscar Isaac) playing one of the coolest and most badass X-Men villains of all time. How could they fuck it up? By letting him do just about jack shit aside from monologue, for starters. Apocalypse does little else but stand around and talk, with his one fight at the end of the movie leading to him getting curbstomped by Jean Grey. It’s a piss poor showing for a villain of this caliber, and a disgraceful waste of Isaac’s talent.

19. Paris Franz

The Killing Joke

Paris Franz is a weird, stupid stalker for Batgirl made up for this movie, and he is one of the big aspects dragging the first half of the movie down. The only reason he isn’t higher is because there’s something else in that first half that tanks the movie completely, but the fact there’s anything stupider than Franz in the film should really tip you off to the overall quality.

18. Enchantress

Suicide Squad

A really cool and creepy initial design really doesn’t salvage this character’s status as a generic doomsday villain. I think this one in particular stings because Enchantress does have a cool design, cool powers, and story potential to actually be an interesting villain… but not when going up against a bunch of black ops mercenaries. It’s no wonder neither she nor her alter ego June Moon were mentioned at all in James Gunn’s soft reboot.

17. Bane

Batman & Robin

I am a quite vocal defender of Joel Schumacher’s final Batman film, but even I can’t muster up anything nice to say about its take on Bane. He is everything that the character isn’t, and everything he would come to be seen by bad adaptations for years until Nolan managed to somewhat salvage his reputation: Dumb muscle. I get this was pretty early into Bane’s life in comics, with his big debut being only a few years behind, but you’d think they could have made him a bit more interesting for his live action debut.

16. Harry Osborn

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

I really don’t know how they ever expected this chump to lead the Sinister Six in their own movie. His relationship with Peter is sudden and underbaked, the makeup on him makes him look more like Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun, and even his killing of Gwen Stacy is only impressive because it has to be. In a movie that already has a villain in the much goofier but more enjoyable Electro, the Harry Goblin just feels dull and uninspired. We’ve already seen Green Goblin twice before, and once as Harry; if they really wanted to have another big villain, why not just let Rhino have more screentime?

15. Stephen Wolf

Josstice League

In the Snyder Cut, Steppenwolf is a tragic villain, motivated by a desire to appease his master so he can finally return home from exile. It’s not the most complicated thing in the world, but it works wonders considering the mustache-twirling supervillainy of the version from Josstice League. In a vacuum, he’s honestly fun in a cheesy sort of way, especially with how the movie expects you to take a guy who’s C-list among Darkseid’s lackeys at best is the ultimate threat to assemble the Justice League against instead of going with a more impressive threat like Starro or Darkseid himself. But then you look at Joss Whedon in real life, and that implied threat of sexual assault against the Amazons starts to stand out more. And once you see the Snyder Cut and you learn Whedon liked a tweet disparaging Steppenwolf, it becomes clear he picked the worst and stupidest takes for the villain. It’s disrespectful not only to the vision of the man he came on to fill in god, but it’s disrespectful to Ciaran Hinds as well, who put effort into the character just to have it tossed aside out of spite and apathy.

14. Kro

Eternals

Kro pisses me off. He had an incredibly sympathetic backstory that gives him understandable motivation in killing the Eternals… which is explained once and then never brought up again. He shows up to the final battle, and his skills seemingly imply that he could form an enemy mine situation to stop Ikaris… but he just attacks everyone and then dies. He’s played by the always-awesome Bill Skarsgard… and he gets next to nothing to do. As is typical of Eternals, it’s a bunch of really cool and interesting ideas that are never really built upon in a meaningful way.

13. Sharon Carter

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier really couldn’t stop itself from fucking up everything at the last possible second. The reveal that the greater scope villain of the show, the Power Broker, is actually a disgraced and angry Sharon Carter is just mind-bogglingly stupid. It feels so disrespectful to a character who already got a ton of shit just for being a potential love interest for Cap. It doesn’t gel well with her previous characterization and honestly feels a little spiteful, like something out of a bad fanficI. t all just reeks of the treatment Rose Tico got in the last Star Wars movie. Here’s this female character who gets in the way of all the gay shipping and is perceived as annoying and pointless by fans, so she is essentially written out of future installments. But unlike Rose, when they bring her back, they make her into some evil, manipulative mastermind all because she didn’t get to fuck Steve Rogers? Like I guess that’s not the most unrelatable villain origin story ever, but boy, this just feels like a needlessly mean direction to have this character go. And it really makes less and less sense the more you think about it. Maybe they can salvage this in future installments, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

12. Dweller-in-Darkness

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

I’m not mad they changed the design from a Cthulhu homage to a giant soul-sucking dragon bat; that’s Metal as fuck and it honestly kind of rules. No, I’m mad because Dweller gets to be the final boss in a film that already had a villain. And not just any villain, mind you, but genuinely one of the best comic book movie villains of all time. But instead of an emotionally satisfying martial arts showdown between Shang-Chi and his father, this bastard unceremoniously kills Wenwu to usher in one of the most needless CGI monster battles in the MCU. It doesn’t ruin the film despite how pointless and forced it feels, as the final battle still manages to maintain the film’s core emotional weight, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hold the movie back a bit.

11. Talia al-Ghul

The Dark Knight Rises

You’ve already got the awesome, meme-tactic Bane in the movie, and he’s establishing himself as Batman’s fiercest foe yet. If you’re genius filmmaker Christopher Nolan, do you:

A. Have Bane continue being the big bad, serving as the ultimate enemy and final obstacle of Batman’s career, or

B. Reveal Bane was a simp for a hidden twist villain so bad it makes Prince Hans look competent as a twist villain in comparison?

If you chose option B, congratulations! You are apparently as smart as a critically-acclaimed filmmaker who seems to like comic books as much as he likes people not dying of Covid to see his mediocre Tenet in theaters.

10. Doomsday

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

This isn’t just any old generic doomsday villain—it’s THE generic doomsday villain. As cool as he looks in the comics, Doomsday is a boring villain who has one single claim to fame, and that’s killing Superman. Once you know he’s in this movie, there’s really no surprises as to what he’s going to do, and this version doesn’t even look cool! He’s the absolute pinnacle of Big Grey CGI Monster villains on top of being an interpretation of the original generic doomsday villain. He pops in at the final act, delivers a lackluster fight with no surprises, and then dies. BVS is already a slog to sit through, and Doomsday only compounds that.

9. Lex Luthor

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

You’d think the guy who was able to play real life ultra-rich tech supervillain Mark Zuckerberg would be able to play the iconic comic book superhero who is literally that, but I guess they sent him the wrong script because he is absolutely nothing like what Luthor should be. I think what’s most frustrating is that there are moments where you can see that he could pull the character off with better direction… and then he sends Elasti-Girl a jar of his piss and all goodwill evaporates. He’s a lot more tolerable in his cameo at the end of ZSJL, but whether they’ll ever follow that up who can say.

8. Ares

Wonder Woman

The worst villains are the ones who just trip up the whole movie with how bad they are. For most of Wonder Woman, it seems like the point of the story is to show that there’s no Ares, no one true boogeyman behind mankind’s desire for war, and that killing one bad guy won’t change everything. A pretty interesting and bold message t—Oh wait! Here comes Ares, real after all, and he’s the one behind it all! What follows is a big, stupid battle filled with awkward CGI and David Thewlis’s big honking mustache poking out from under the helmet. Very rarely does a movie trip at the finish line this hard, but most movies don’t feature a villain that shoots the message of the film stone cold dead at the last second either.

7. Joker

Suicide Squad

At this point, it almost feels unfair to say anything about Jared Leto’s attempt at playing Joker. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel, y’know? There is just so much glaringly wrong with this character, be it the design, the writing, or his use in the story that it’s quite frankly not even fun to make fun of it anymore. It’s honestly sad. They thought this shit was a good idea, and there are people who genuinely think an Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad, which would no doubt feature even more Leto, would be a great film. It’s just embarrassing. 

6. Malekith

Thor: The Dark World

If you asked me a few years ago, I probably would have said Malekith is the very worst comic book villain, but really? He’s pretty par for the course as far as bad villains go. He’s an obscure villain with a talented actor wasted in the role who is given nothing to do and ends up being—you guessed it!--a generic doomsday villain. Still, I think Malekith sucks harder than most for the fact they turned a character who is a chaotic shapeshifting wizard into this just because they didn’t want to do Loki again. Because, you know, there’s no interesting stories you could do with a character like that, definitely couldn’t have Thor enlist his brother’s help to try and outwit someone just like him or anything cool like that, definitely can’t let Christopher Eccleston actually act. I think if nothing else, Malekith is a prime showcase of the lack of imagination some of these filmmakers have when it comes to utilizing villains.

5. Karli Morgenthau

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

As you can see, the villains I think are the worst are the ones who really go out of their way to represent serious problems with superhero cinema. “In Name Only” adaptations, bungled characterization, undermining positive messages with stupidity… imagine if a villain managed to combine all of those things and more into one character. I’m obviously not opposed that they turned the obscure Cap villain Flag-Smasher into a terrorist organization, nor am I mad that the specific Flag-Smasher I’m talking about was gender swapped; these are interesting choices, as was the decision to give the group sympathetic motives to contrast with one of the heroes, John Walker, ultimately becoming violent and unsympathetic. But much like how the finale dropped the ball there, it dropped the ball with Flag-Smasher by turning her into a card-carrying supervillain who was willing to execute civilians if it meant pulling off her plan. It’s such a jarring shift in characterization done at the last minute, and it serves to undermine the whole point. Sam gives a big speech about how she had a point at the end, but it rings so much more hollow when this nuanced character devolved into a phase 1 villain for the finale. It’s frankly insulting, and considering she does have a genuine point and is literally fighting for the well-being of refugees, this has the unfortunate effect of demonizing her viewpoints, something a lot of superhero media is accused of doing but which seems to be blatantly the case here. We almost had another Killmonger on our hands here, but they refused to commit and instead gave us an inconsistent mess of a character. The only reason Karli doesn’t take the number one spot is because the finale does stress that, on some level, Sam pretty much agrees with her point and that the only reason she ever went mad with power is because of the idiotic governments who refuse to help. It reeks of having their cake and eating it too, but at least they literally have Captain America say she wasn’t wrong. If only the writing backed him up a little better, she wouldn’t be so high on this list.

4. Taskmaster

Black Widow

Taskmaster is a beloved villain from Marvel comics, known for his ability to perfectly mimic the cool non-superpowered moves of his enemies as well as for having a kickass sword and shield and a badass skull mask. He’s popped up in video games such as Insomniac’s Spider-Man and Marvel vs. Capcom 3, where he was welcomed with open arms, so going into this movie people had high expectations. Those expectations were not even close to being met. Maybe I could forgive them for not having this Taskmaster be Tony Masters; there’s some vague hints that leave it open for good old Tony to swing in for potential sequels, and the idea they went with here at least somewhat works with the story. But the filmmakers go with the bold choice to have this Taskmaster be a silent antagonist, like a Terminator ripoff from a movie you’d find at the bottom of the bargain bin at Wal-Mart. Taskmaster honestly shows the danger of needing to rely on a recognizable villain for a story even when one isn’t needed. They could have easily just made this an original character, but to put asses in seats they gave them a recognizable name that has nothing to do with the new character. It’s honestly dishonest and scummy, not to mention unfair to a character who could have been far more interesting without the baggage of being saddled with a name that isn’t theirs.

3. Galactus

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

This is one of the single most frustrating villains on this list. They had concept art of a full, true to the source Galactus ready to go, but they decided audiences didn’t want to see that. Instead, audiences want to see big sentient fart clouds! Galactus is the epitome of how studios and filmmakers alike rejected the weird, fun side of comics and instead opted to reimagine weirder elements as gritty and realistic alternatives. A big space man in pink and purple who eats planets couldn’t possibly be cool, right? Fuck off. As time passes and we get characters like Ego, Starro, Polka-Dot Man, and Howard the Duck brought into superhero’s cinematic universes, this take on Galactus just seems all the more braindead.

2. Dudepeel

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

It’s almost incomprehensible just how bad this was. Like on a conceptual level, the idea here is taking a character known for cracking jokes and never shutting up (he’s literally called “The Merc with the Mouth”) and sewing his mouth shut and removing his personality. It’s the sort of thing that’s only possible from someone with extreme hate for a character. While the fact we now have a genuinely good Deadpool and now that Deadpool literally time traveled to the moment this guy appeared and shot him dead, I think Dudepeel still manages to take a high place on this list due to being emblematic of everything wrong with the “In Name Only” style of adaptation as well as a shining example of the worst aspects of the X-Men movie franchise amalgamated into one piss-poor villain.

1. Crash Test Doomy

Fant4stic

It’s really not possible to craft a version of a character that’s as singularly insulting as this one. There is absolutely nothing nice that can be said about this take on Doom. He’s a Cronenbergian nightmare so utterly divorced from the source material that it’s baffling they thought to slap the name “Doom” on it. But that alone wouldn’t be enough to give him the top spot; Dudepeel is just as much a disrespectful “In Name Only” take on a beloved Marvel character, one so disgraceful that fans refer to him by mocking nicknames rather than his actual name. No, this guy takes the top spot by not only being Doom In Name Only, but for literally only doing anything in the last ten or twenty minutes of the film, and in that short amount of time he is nothing but a generic doomsday villain with literally no motivation. Much as Fant4stic is everything wrong with Fox’s superhero movies cranked to the extreme, this living mannequin is everything a bad comic book movie villain could possibly be distilled into the absolute nadir of character design. When you’re making the chump from the Story duology look classy and dignified in comparison, you know you’re doing something really, really wrong.

I'd love to learn more random intimate details about villains of Gotham. I'd like to see more "unnecessary" stuff being revealed about characters in the context of the show.

Like...I want to see Oswald telling someone about the way he taught himself how to do his iconic hairstyle. Or maybe I want him to talk about his favourite artist and why he was impressed by them so much. I want to hear Ed Nygma explaining all the reasons for choosing every strange piece of decor for his apartment. I want to witness Barbara talking about her first childhood friend she cannot stop thinking about. I want Victor Zsasz to tell about some weird dream he had last night.

I want see characters tell each other about their celebrity crushes. Or their icons for style inspiration.

I want to see villains do normal human stuff. Silly stuff. Going on walks, petting cats, learning how to cook something. I want to see them dancing to their favourite song! Or stargazing!

Wouldn't it be amazing?

THE BATMAN MOVIE TIER LIST PART 2

2006- Batman Begins: Gosh this movie is so good if I'm not being biased this is objectively the best movie in the dark knight trilogy. One thing I will say is I wish Scarecrow had more scenes in the movie but I absolutely love the one scene where he does spray Falcone but I wish I could've seen more. This was peak Christian Bale looks wise and I realized this last night when I was watching the movie. The Ra's Al Ghul plot twist was actually surprising the first time I watched this movie. Alfred was peak overall just amazing. VICTOR ZSASZ MENTION!?! Side note we need more live action Victor Zsasz. I would have to say this movie is S tier.

2008- The Dark Knight: HEATH LEDGER WAS EMACULATE. I do agree that he's just a film bros wet dream for the joker BUT I still love it. This move produced multiple iconic memes just overall so freaking good. If you want my biased opinion this is they best movie in the dark knight trilogy. I can quote most of the Jokers lines by heart and I once watched this movie 3 times in one day. The two downfalls of this movie are Rachel and Two-face. (Refer to meme in pt1) Harvy himself is fine but Two-Face just ain't it chief yknow. And I know Rachel's thing is that she's not like scared of criminals and not scared to stand up for what's right but something that really gives me the ick is when in the penthouse scene during jokers schpeel she just stands and and says "alright, that's enough." Or something like that. Idk it's just like did you really think that was going to stop this insane man?? This movie is A tier as well.

2012- The Dark Knight Rises: If mid was a movie it would be this one. While I absolutely love Bane in this movie I can't stand Catwoman (which is really weird for me cause I usually love her, and I've tried loving her but I just can't.) It's not like a horrible movie it's just not fantabulous. C tier.

2016- Batman Versus Superman: I saw it when I came out in theaters then never watched it again. It was okay??? Idk not much input, I was more interested in the origins of the other members of the Justice League tbh. C tier.

2016- The Killing Joke: Did not like the first 30 minutes. This was the first time I'd ever seen an animated movie based on a comic and don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't to see batman and Barbara Gordon make out w/ implied sex on a rooftop. The first 30mins aren't in the original comic at all. Last half of the movie sticks to the source material almost entirely and it was executed greatly. A tier.

2018- The Lego Batman Movie: OH GOSH this movie is really good. I can watch it with kids when I babysit and we can both enjoy it. Witty remarks, Robin is absolutely adorable, REFRENCES BATMAN (1989) MULTIPLE TIMES!!! Joker isn't a complete dick to Harley. PEAK JOKER DESIGN!! No bad remarks. S teir.

2021- The Long Halloween Pt1 and Pt2: Loved these movies. Wished they made Sofia Falcone look more like Carmine like they did in the comic but her character was still great. I also wish they would've kept the catwoman suit the same as in the comic. Was very easy to sit through almost 3 hrs of movies. Harvy Dent was portrayed amazingly. Once again nothing bad to say about these movies. A tier.

2022- The Batman: I LOVE LOVE LOVE INCEL RIDDLER AMD BATMAN!! I love paul dano in general but God he was so good even though he only had like 15min of screentime throughout the 3hr movie. Zoë Kravitz fucking killed it as Catwoman. Can't forget #daddyoz literally amazing. "what's black and blue and dead all, over? yyyoOOUUU." Bussin soundtrack, got me back into Nirvana tbh. I love the casting for Carmine, wait no I take that back. I love the casting for the whole movie, it was absolutely spectacular 👌. S tier

Anyway that's all guys, if you want to hear my rankings for other movies just ask and I can put them all into a big post. I can put this into picture format if yall want to see it but I'm too lazy to do it rn.

For 3 characters I associate with you: Pearl from SU because of your icon, Special Ghoul from how much interesting lore you've written for him, and Victor Zsasz since you've taught me more about him than anyone else!

Hi I'm sorry I didn't answer this when the 3 characters meme was going 'round but I'm answering now THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING ZSASZ I STILL LOVE THAT MISERABLE BASTARD A LOT AND DC COMICS ARE STILL COWARDS FOR NOT LETTING ME WRITE A ZSASZ YEAR ONE MINISERIES

one of the funniest things ive ever seen is my friends instagram spam account that she only uses to post pictures of our cat Anne

the bio, “little anne knows me”. the poorly cropped icon of victor zsasz from gotham. the fact that i havent updated my phone and can therefore not see the emoji. one of the most recent posts is just her apologizing because she feels bad for everyone that isnt me her and our roommate because they can’t live with our cat and we can. she’s my best friend on earth i love her

#it makes me want to throw up its so funny to me #maybe ONLY to me #alex #putting this post in the bff tag because she will enjoy seeing it. if she ever does #cro talks
