The Batman (2022) isn't perfect by any means, but it is still a phenomenal film and one of the best pieces of Bat-media in recent memory.
Firstly, the aesthetic. Seemingly small but an incredibly important part. BTAS was broody, '89 was gothic, Forever was campy, TDK was... bad. And TB I think finds a real sweet spot in between vibes. It's dark, serious, it's got a technological noir, and yet still has vibrancy and color and (the key to my heart) neon.
One scene, you'll be sitting in an abandoned tunnel with shadows and muddy colors, the next you'll be surrounded by police under white lights, and the next you'll be in a night club with LEDs of every color you can think.
The fights. This film has some of the best Batman fights I've ever seen period. Really just action in general. The night club, the hallway, the finale. It's not like TDK where every fight is slow, precise, methodical, and honestly boring. Each fight or chase here is energetic and entertaining. The choreography is excellent, the stakes are legitimately high, and the settings are always unique.
The night club is crowded and overwhelming, with people swinging, shouting, and grabbing at Bats who aren't even apart of the fight. His skills and equipment save his life multiple times, whether it's block a bullet with a precise pipe throw or survive a shotgun blast with his armor. When he finally grabs Penguin you feel as overwhelmed and animalistic as he does.
The precinct escape is tight and tense. From the punch to the jump, every second makes you feel the absolute abominable stress of trying to escape a building like this. Officers pouring out of every room, bullets whizzing by and beaming off his suit. Merely seconds to get the flight suit on before they come pouring out to the roof. We experience the fall with him as his nerves spike, all culminating in a quick second decision that ends with him crashing into the side of the road.
Gotham. The beloved city feels full here. Subways are crowded, streets are packed. The crime feels real. Vandals, gang violence, thieves, assassins, crime families. It's not just militants and killers. We see the systemic issues in place that cause these. We see the feelings and social strains that make people do this. It's like you're taking a peak into another world with context and history you don't know but understand. It feels right.
The characterizations. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "Bruce Wayne is the mask, Batman is the real you" thing inflamed by TDK. And I really don't like "the Waynes were corrupt and did bad things, even for good reasons".
I think there's so much more to say about the two very different, very real sides to Bruce's personality. The one that comes out as billionaire playboy philanthropist, and the one that comes out as a violent and vengeful demon. Both who are willing to suffer for their causes. And I think there's so much more when the Waynes die from a mugging. That the crime is so bad it took the highest. That it could take anyone at any time, even the beloved elite.
However it does something right that most other Bat-media fails at. It makes Batman a symbol of hope. It demonstrates a growth in himself. That he can do more good to inspire the people than to instill fear in them.
Pandaredd made a good video on this, but in Crisis On Two Earths, Bats' opposite is represented as the ultimate nihilist. This means that at his core, Batman is really the ultimate optimist. And that makes sense. You don't put on a suit and fight crime, you don't try to create resources to help people, you don't befriend and reform your own Rogues gallery unless you believe you can change something. That all the work you do, all the suffering you experience will be worth it when you get to know the world healed.
And that's something The Batman understands. Batman started as a symbol of fear. So that every criminal hesitates at an alley. Panics at a shadow. But he became something else. A symbol of optimism. So that people can walk the streets at night. That they can get the help they need. That they can look into the sky with hope.

Hey Abbey, do you have any headcanon dates for the turtles' birthdays?
Oooh great question.
I imagine Donnie and Leo to be born somewhere in June because well... Gemini
I'm a simple person.
As for Mikey? He seems like a summer born kid. Maybe August or September.
Raph maybe fall or winter? November sounds like a good month.
Exact dates not so much.

i'm going to start putting stuff up on inprint in addition to my etsy soon. my plan (for now) is to use the etsy more for my traditional art stuff like etchings and original paintings etc, and use inprnt for prints of my digital art, so there will be a difference in what's available on either

Watching Helluva Boss for that Hell lore and Moxxie is absolutely my favorite. (And Millie. I love her. Stolas is a lot different than I was expecting because I only knew his songs before this) And uh…
Moxxie: “You’ve had us tied up here for hours and you haven’t even had us confirm one thing- like what we are!”
Human Interrogator: “And what are you!?”
Moxxie: “I’m a Virgo!”
Me, absolutely losing it, enjoying the sass:

Trying to be positive about the MacKay run but I have problems with the new issue again. Still really love Hunters Moon though, him and Marc constantly calling each other brother now is very funny

Hiya! For the zodiac asks:
🐷 Pig - does your character seek peace? or do they thrive in conflict? do they try to mediate conflicts around them, or avoid it?
🐭 Rat - is your character charming? do they have social suave or are they wallflowers?
For either your most or least conflict prone/charming characters, dealer's choice.
Oho time for Avis
🐷 Pig: she says she wants peace but the way she keeps picking fights calls this into question. The truth is she doesn't really know how to keep peace within herself, not yet. She also hates mediating and will avoid it completely unless she's particularly pissed off about said conflict, and even then she's not mediating as much as going off.
🐭 Rat: she can be very socially capable, or at least polite, if she wants to be. She usually doesn't want to be. She seems like a completely different person talking to the teller inside the bank, for example, than she does talking to people casually. She's not without her charm, though she used to be more charming in the times before Sorian (and Emma) ruined her life. Now she's mostly just abrasive.
