    I do agree that superhero movies have been taking themselves entirely too seriously for entirely too long. Go back and watch the original Spider-Man or The Shadow and then jump forward to today. All the camp is dead now.

      Pitting a modern, ultra-broody Batman against a Joker who genuinely just wants to engage in Silver Age shenanigans for no other reason than to piss Batman off (despite the fact that this Joker is established as a murderer already) would be super fun.

      Bonus points if Batman could’ve avoided most of the events of the movie by taking himself slightly less seriously.

      If you havent, watch the latest two thor movies, also all deadpool and guardians of the galaxy movies if you want a bit more camp in your hero films. Oh and Gunn’s superman and suicide squad.

        And Peacemaker. It’s not quite camp, but definitely a show that doesn’t take itself seriously.

        I’d caveat that deadpool relies heavily on popular media references. For some the jokes just dont land.

    Yes to the idea, Fuck no for Sasha B Cohen. Zionists don’t deserve work.

    i think Harley did a great characterization of the joker. with him ending up in politics, winning, defeating batman, and becoming a beloved mayor. By leveraging his anti establishment with socialism.

      I had never heard about his support for Israel so just did some reading and only found a few things from Oct 2023 after the Hamas attack. Although I think it’s evil to support an apartheid state, I think there’s a big difference between voicing support in October 2023 and supporting them now and in their genocide. I wonder what he thinks now

        Yea, from what I’ve seen from his work, he is very critical on a lot of sensitive topics and doesn’t pull punches when it comes to his Jewish side.

        But to be fair, he makes fun of Judaism, can’t recall many Israel jokes.
