>In The Batman, Bruce is bruised, sulking, isolated, and devoid of public life because he's fully committed to being a force of vengeance in Gotham City. According to Pattinson, this actually made getting into character easier.
>"When you think about Bruce Wayne, you kind of think he's a playboy, and then that's how he disguises himself, so no one knows he's Batman. As soon as you take that away, it made the character almost make more sense," Pattinson told EW in the latest installment of our Around the Table series. "There's something about a person who would be able to delineate three incredibly distinct personalities, and then just being able to switch them as an outfit at will. That's really way more sociopathic than someone who doesn't really have much more control over it and is compelled to put this suit on. It's kind of out of his control a little bit."
Pattinson is metaphysically an incel so this makes sense.
Joshua Wright
Blah blah blah battinson sucked
Jackson Ross
I don't expect Wayne to be happy playboy post-flood anyway. But he should still use the Bruce Wayne persona for good.
Colton Garcia
he is so me
Ayden Mitchell
Will be interesting to see if they can develop the character of Bruce at all in the next one, instead of him just being a thin facade for Batman.
Jacob Nelson
Even Nolan and Bale weren't this fucking pretentious. Jesus fucking Christ.
Josiah Hernandez
How is it pretentious?
Juan Bennett
He takes the basic, comic book trope of the secret identity and compares it sociopathy. That is the definition of smelling your own farts to the point you miss the forest for the trees.
Jonathan Barnes
I guess to Robert Pattinson, Peter Parker, Clark Kent, etcetera are all sociopaths. Yep. Checks out.
Owen Morgan
Patterson's a gay faggot.
Ryan Gonzalez
I've personally never liked the 'le Bruce is secretly crazy?????' Trope. Yes, he's aberrant with skeletons in his closet, but he's fundamentally a good person with an innate sense of justice, even if he's brutal in his approach. He can switch Batman off, but it's never not there. I don't know why they have to overcomplicate it, so much. The criminals are the 'suspicious and cowardly lot.'
Cooper Long
This is what happens when a children's comic character is made to appeal to adults who refuse to grow up and force the character to grow up with them.
Brayden Sullivan
Blame it on stupid fanboy comic writers. It reached a point where EVERYONE in the "DC Universe" is sane for being a masked crime-fighter, living double lives, and so on BUT Batman. Even his adopted sons, the many Robins, are all sane but not him.
Stupid fucking braindead trope that stole all the characterization from the character.
Noah Long
Good. I agree. Sick of Bruce Wayne making an ass of himself in public in movies.
He doesn't have to go as far as the Nolan Bruce Wayne who's flopping in hotel fountains. But Jesus Christ, is it too much to ask that he acts in a manner that is different than his Batman persona? It's called acting. Why wouldn't an actor want to play a character who pretends to be something he's not?!
except Peter Parker and spider-man behave in the same way at least in the comics, there's no difference between Peter/spider-man,
Noah Baker
Batman was based on The Shadow, and one of the coolest thing about The Shadow was how fucking crazy and homicidal he was while wearing the scarf, but also how he was able to disguise himself as Lamont..
There's actually quite a bit of difference. When Peter has the mask on, he's more confident. He cracks jokes. He believes in himself. When he's Peter Parker, all of that goes away and so does his self-esteem.
Blake Miller
I didn't even think about it but this shit really mad w bruce feel weak and lazy.
>Dressing up like a bat and fighting crime is totally normal but pretending to be a dumb rich kid is too far!
Fucking hacks, it would have made the riddler going after Bruce more personal too if he was on yatchs with whores and showing off being a rich orphan.
Mason Reyes
that was only during ditko's run. by the time of romita/lee there was barely any difference, later on during stern/PAD there's no difference.
>When he's Peter Parker, all of that goes away and so does his self-esteem.
lol no hasn't been the case since the 80s. just look at this bro.
>Zoomer only knows nu lazy acting spiderman that can't do the comic character justice by splitting the personalities
Many such cases
Brody Foster
George Clooney said that Batman was a whiny little bitch that needs to get over his parents dying when he was 5 and enjoy his money and whores
Zachary Turner
>you're not my dad Alfred more pissy teenager than anything else
Joshua Harris
user,I've been reading spider-man for over 20 years. have got the entire stan lee/ditko/romita run and stern and almost anything from the 80s and 90s.
the split personalities is just a thing from the movies/cartoons.
Henry Long
Is that from the new issue?
Joseph Martinez
If a change is going to be made no matter what then I think they made the best decision. I'd fucking despise a Bruce modelled after a modern billionaire tech mogul piece of shit.
Brayden Hill
the whole point is that it's a front meant to throw people off
and he wouldn't be a tech mogul because he's literally done nothing to earn his wealth he's not tony stark
Why should he? Bruce isn't a public figure in this movie, and anyone he meets certainly won't know how Batman acts or talks, he's an urban legend until the finale.
I guess Keaton was a shit Bruce Wayne too because he was quiet and reclusive.
Joshua Cooper
this the non-playboy angle is fine but you have to do something actually interesting instead
Caleb Hill
If the son of Melinda and Bill Gates saw his parents gunned down in an alley, he would be a pretty fucking public figure. So your argument is absurd.
And Keaton DID change the way he acted. It was subtle, but his behavior changed.
Levi Lee
>If the son of Melinda and Bill Gates saw his parents gunned down in an alley, he would be a pretty fucking public figure. Irrelevant. Those aren't the Waynes.
Isaiah Fisher
In the movie they made the Waynes be even more important because Thomas tried to be a mayor on top of everything else and the Renewal Plan that everyone haps on about was his idea.
Jaxon Foster
Two American billionaires get murdered in an alley and are only survived by their son, the only witness to the incident.
You're telling me this wouldn't be headline news nationwide for months? Are you stupid?
Landon Hughes
Imagine caring for a comic book character that’s made for literal children.
Jack Brooks
not anymore batman might as well be michael myers at this point
>When Peter has the mask on, he's more confident. He cracks jokes. That's wrong. He cracks jokes because it's his coping mechanism during hard times. This is info is everywhere. >t. read spiderman as a kid.
Angel Morgan
Media is against white guys user..
Zachary Jones
Don't forget him being completely grounded and realistic compared to Superman while also being able to defeat absolutely everyone and never needing sleep and having entire sections of multiverse dedicated to how powerful he is
Isaac Allen
>Batman is a chud Based
Caleb Powell
>We have to do our part to support the demoralization messaging of turning young men into incels There. I translated it for you.
or it just makes more sense that batman (a strictly nocturnal figure) only has time for batman and not bruce wayne.
also 'muh comic book character lore!!' who gives a shit you autistic fans are homos anyway
Lucas Cox
this, it was fun to see a vagabond bruce wayne like that and i dont even really care if he never becomes a true playboy, this emo bruce wayne is a fun change
yeah I thought this persona was cool I liked the different ways he enters the club, including the time through Selina's eyes
Blake Gomez
>I liked the different ways he enters the club, including the time through Selina's eyes jesus christ you people are fucking retarded
Jacob Harris
why is that black guy so white?
Cameron Davis
>You're telling me this wouldn't be headline news nationwide for months? Even if it were for a whole year and a half, lets say, that was over two fucking decades ago in universe. You don't even know who the fuck Kenneth L. Lay is and you're thinking that a child billionaire who's only noteworthy thing is "Saw parents die" would still be hot in the media after twenty years?
Andrew Bell
>thinking about something is...LE BAD!
Colton Jackson
lmfao no he isn’t. why would a sociopath not kill people?
