Maybe that's the "in" that can get us to something akin to the Morrison Batman, existing in such an insane and improbable world while still feeling familiar and truthful to the guy we all know and love. Just a thought.

Living with the mere fact that he doesn't need to be so alone in seeking out what he wants has the possibility to provide a different perspective to his outlook on the overall mission that other recent cinematic Batmans (Batmen?) have just not been capable of having.

That doesn't mean it will or should, but I would imagine that could lead to a familiar, if perhaps ever-so-slightly lighter, version of the Dark Knight Detective.

Mark Waid once described that at the end of the day, unlike the villains, the heroes all want the same thing.

In @mattreevesla.bsky.social' Gotham, he is isolated and fighting against an overwhelming tide. But in @jamesgunn.bsky.social's DCU, the mere existence of Superman offers something that Batman, I hope, would be a greatly encouraging sign: it's possible for the ongoing mission to end.

Maybe a little on the nose, but who am I to judge? I would have laughed.

Excellent news, congrats to you both! Best wishes on the start of a new journey!

Didn't even know this existed!

Thank you, sir! I really appreciate it!

I saw! Too likable for Lorca but I'm sure they'll find something good for him. 🙂
