The way Riddler cries "No, No, No!" and sings during his interrogation, is actually fairly accurate to real police interviews with mentally unstable killers. Once they feel like they've lost control, they resort to noise and confusion.

I just love that they actually gave Falcone legitimate screen time and character. All the non super villain criminals just seem like nuisances in movies and shows. He legit held real power here, and could speak man to man with both Bruce and Batman all while maintaining a calm but menacing presence. Nobody f*cks with the Jesus

(SPOILERS) one thing i loved about this movie is that the riddler pretty much won, he killed a majority of the people he wanted to (minus bruce and rael), the sea wall came down, the people of gotham know about its corruption and he was locked in arkham asylum and we all know how good that place is at holding prisoners. it’s nice to see a competent villain and it makes sense considering this is year 2 batman who would probably be used to fighting muggers and not elaborate super villains

Some folks don't like it I understand, but I loved that they made riddler a serial killer and mimic the Zodiac from San Francisco. What an awesome outfit. The looming antagonistic threat through a serial killer is something I love when done right in movies and is a thing I wish to be good at when it comes to my writing. I really hope scarecrow appears in this universe.

This Riddler was the most demented, vile Riddler ever. This Batman film was excellent. Definitely buying on bluray.

What makes this Riddler truly evil is the interrogation scene with Batman where Riddler basically tells him that he gave him the motivation to extract vengeance on those whom he felt deserved it, and that it's justified based on how Batman is going about fixing Gotham. He's a tragic character for sure, but more so a psychopath who uses brutal violence and sadistic acts to make people pay who he feels wronged him as an orphan kid. What a COLD villain.

I'm genuinely surprised that someone managed to make a depiction of the fuckin' RIDDLER of all characters simultaneously both a legitimately good villain and a villain you can take seriously.

"Terror made me cruel."-Emily Bronte The Riddler was such a good mixture between sympathetic while still being plenty evil.

I love how riddler showed Batman that vengeance is not what Gotham needs. When Batman was confronting the riddler in his jail cell through a glass window i interpreted it as Batman looking into a mirror and seeing his own inner demons.

The biggest character of this film for me was Gotham itself. It is only a city and yet it felt like it was alive and very sick with the corruption ozzing out of its very foundations and the people in that city were the cells that were slowly being corrupted by that society and Batman is one of a few people who are trying to save Gotham from the sickness that is corruption, violence and chaos.

I really love how Matt Reeves reinvented the character and made him serious and terrifying. Imagine what he would do with villains such as Joker, Scarecrow or Mr. Freeze.

*The point of view we got from Paul Dano's Riddler is that he thinks he's a Gotham vigilante (just like Batman). But both have different methods and rules. The fact of killing corrupt is acceptable, but going beyond the limits injuring and risking the lives of innocent people, he became a worse monster.*

I love Riddler as more of a nuisance than a murderous mastermind, but he works so, so well in this film. The contrast between his vigilantism and Batman's, the barrage of riddles that I personally tried to solve as the movie ticked through, the clever word play, all the clues... it was perfectly executed and a beautiful mystery.

Just a couple things: it's not clear if the Waynes were murdered by Falcone, and Riddler also intended to kill Bruce which you didn't mention. But still great video as always

I love that they stayed true to the Riddler's esence from the comics (him being a narcisst who wants attention and makes tantrums when things don't go his way, as well as being a bit goofy and over the top) while also giving him their own spin on the character, making him a serial killer and reimagining his outfit. I never thought I'd find a version of the Riddler this terrifying.

This movie has arguably the best rendition of Penguin to date.

The actor who plays the riddler in the film is actually making a comic about the riddlers origin so you should make an updated video on the riddler with more information from the comic.

Correction: The journalist Thomas Wayne inadvertently had Falcone murder was not Thomas Elliot (Hush) but Edward Elliot who is likely Thomas Elliot's father. We will likely see Hush as a villain wanting revenge on Bruce because Bruce's father got his father killed.

To be pedantic, we actually don't know if Falcone had Tommy Wayne killed, which is what Alfred believes, or whether it was Maroni as Falcone claimed. I actually found that ambiguity to be a great element, keeping the mystery around the Waynes' deaths a mystery.

I actually felt bad for the riddler when I heard his backstory. I'm not justifying his killing of innocents but it's not hard to understand what got him to the point of anger and insanity.

The saddest thing about the riddler was that he was actually able to escape his circumstances. Coming from an underfunded orphanage and becoming a forensic accountant is a pretty impressive feat, and could have used it to live well and even do some good. Unfortunately, his trauma was too much to bear and he let it win, corrupting him to become a force of evil instead of a force of good

Dano was truly great in this, the first time in ages I've felt like someone appeared genuinely unwell, unpredictable and motivated by internal forces he can't control, not like an actor *acting* crazy.

When talking about vigilantism in cinema we often romanticize the good that one might do. And deplore that of an evil doer antagonist. Forgetting that both feel, in their own mind, justified by their actions. To be a vigilante means to exist in the gray area between right and wrong. And both the vigilante and the villain often occupy this space. Juxtapose Bruce Wayne's Batman against Edward Blake's Comedian and tell me which was worse. Now the Comedian against Arthur Fleck's Joker. And on and on it goes.

This was such a great film, the riddler and the messages of this film were really good and this shows the best of Batman being a detective. Would love to see more of Bruce’s development in the sequels

This riddler felt even more dangerous then any joker we've seen. Its interesting to see someone like this character who (is also possibly on the spectrum) feels this scary in a batman movie. I look forward to joker in future batman films

I’m honestly just glad to see an great depiction of the Riddler. Since I think there’s so much potential for him as a villain, his obsessiveness, narcissism, genius intelligence without powers, but he seems to be overlooked quite a bit.

This iteration of The Riddler is so terrefying because it feels so real...he is a guy who spents too much time on 4chan, but smart and crazy enough to actually do the things he claims "have to be done" in those forums.

Shrek was born in an unknown swamp where he lived with his parents as a child. His father tried to eat him and his mother never gave him so much affection and his parents abandoned Shrek when he was 8 years old because it was an "Ogre Tradition". Shrek tried to be accepted by the people but failed because they believed him that he was a "horrible beast", so Shrek finds a swamp who becomes his home but is presumably who sometimes people attack his swamp despite being all times scares by Shrek and they run away. Shrek so lived a solitary life. Shrek annoyed by Donkey's singing. In the first film, Shrek is shown as a recluse who lives a fairly carefree life in his swamp. At first, he appears to like being by himself and enjoys scaring people, but not hurting them. Even though his background is unknown, it is assumed that most ogres hurt people, but Shrek isn't violent. One day in the forest, a talking Donkey enters Shrek's territory pursued by a group of knights. The head knight orders Shrek to be arrested, but Shrek effortlessly scares them off and saves Donkey. A grateful Donkey thanks Shrek repeatedly (to the latter's irritation) and convinces him to spend the night outside of Shrek's house. However, more fairy tale creatures soon arrive and begin to overcrowd his swamp. Shrek demands to know why they have come and learns that Lord Farquaad has dumped them all there. Outraged, Shrek takes Donkey and goes to his castle to demand his swamp back. Upon arriving at Farquaad's castle in Duloc, he defeats every knight in a contest to determine who will rescue Princess Fiona. When he wins, this intrigues Farquaad and he cuts a deal with Shrek: If he rescues his princess, he will give Shrek's swamp back. Shrek agrees and the duo set out once again to the dark castle Fiona is locked away in, guarded by a fire-breathing Dragon. But first, Shrek and Donkey have to cross the only rope bridge to the castle hanging precariously over a lake of lava. Once inside, Shrek orders Donkey to find stairs because the princess will be in the highest room of the tallest tower while Shrek himself searches for the Dragon. Unfortunately, Donkey inadvertently finds the dragon, and Shrek is forced to fight it, only to be flung by its tail right through the roof of the tallest tower. While Donkey keeps the dragon occupied, Shrek meets Princess Fiona for the first time and leaves with her in tow. After they rescue Donkey and escape from the castle, Fiona insists that Shrek take his helmet off, and is repulsed by the fact that Shrek is an ogre. Shrek appears not to care and takes Fiona by force to Farquaad. As nightfall approaches, Fiona demands they stop for the night, but secludes herself in a cave for reasons unknown. That night, Shrek and Donkey bond while stargazing, and Shrek confides in Donkey that he chooses to live alone because most people (except Donkey) prefer to fear and stereotype him rather than try to get to know him. The next day, the trio continue to Duloc and encounter the Merry men, where Fiona reveals her impressive martial arts skills. After the fight, Fiona notices an arrow in Shrek's butt and orders Donkey to find a blue flower with red thorns just to get rid of him. Despite some difficulty, Fiona manages to remove the arrow and they continue their journey. Throughout the rest of the trip back to Farquaad, Fiona warms up to Shrek and Donkey and Shrek begins to fall in love with Fiona. However, when bringing her a flower that evening after stopping to camp at an old mill, Shrek overhears Fiona talking to Donkey about how no one could love an ugly monster. Shrek thinks she's talking about him and enraged and hurt, he goes and brings Farquaad and his knights to take her to his castle. As promised, Shrek gets his swamp back and he is by himself once again. However, Shrek is still not happy, so after an intense argument, he apologizes to Donkey, with the latter convincing Shrek to get Fiona back. They take Dragon (whom Donkey started a relationship with) to Lord Farquaad's palace. Shrek crashes their wedding and confesses to Fiona that he loves her. At first, Fiona tells him that he's too late and prepares to kiss Farquaad. However, the sun begins to go down, and Fiona transforms into an ogre too, surprising Shrek and making him realizes what he heard at the windmill. However, Farquaad is disgusted with her now and orders her and Shrek arrested. As the guards grab them, Shrek finds himself overwhelmed, but manages to summon Donkey and Dragon. They burst through the stained glass windows of the church and Dragon eats Farquaad, killing him. Shrek and Fiona kiss, breaking her curse, but permanently turning her into an ogre. Fiona is still unsure about herself, but Shrek assures Fiona he still thinks she's beautiful, and they get married. The story ends with Shrek and Fiona's wedding and going off in an onion carriage on their way to their honeymoon

What I loved about the riddler in this movie is that 90% of his plans were successful and was in control the whole time. Even manipulating Batman to accomplish what he couldn’t. The only plan that failed was the one he had the least control of, and that was the shooting in the stadium and Bruce Wayne’s failed assassination attempt. All in all he succeeded in almost everything he set forth

I always thought Thomas Wayne's death was not by Falcone's hands as Alfred had said that he tried to find the murderer for years and guessed it was either a hit or it just was a random person who killed him, leaving the answer ambiguous. I believe this movie is still sticking to the origins where Batman's parents were killed by a random thug, not by one of Falcone's men.

11:12 This film's Falcone was a lot more effective than Batman Begins's who was quickly caught by Batman then gassed by Scarecrow with him presumably spending the rest of his life permanently insane in Arkham.

The Batman restored my faith in blockbusters. Going through the film in my first sitting and coming to the realisation that Matt was maintaining a slower pace and weaving together such a clever plot was a delight. They could have easily done anything else but instead decided to make bold choices. What a film!

What I liked about this movie is that the level of corruption and decadence is absolutly more extreme and total than other versions, totally profound. While in versions like Nolan's the corruption was limited to police and judges, here the corruption in this film reaches even the highest political spheres of the city. And so it is that I am not surprised by the emergence of such a dangerous, psychotic and homicidal villain like Edward Nashton / The Riddler who at the same time was one of the many unfortunate victims of the aforementioned corruption that made his youth a hell and take the path of evil

This movie made John Turturro legitimately terrifying, it’s a masterpiece for that alone.

What's so great about this film is it's very anti-Batman in a lot of ways, but still is true to the character. Show me other Bruce Wayne Batman stories where the Riddler isn't a goof who Batman can easily outsmart, where Thomas and Martha Wayne aren't the paragons of virtue Bruce believes them to be, where Batman gets called out for solving problems with nuclear cars and military equipment. None of these things are what most would consider characteristics of a mainstream, status quo Batman story.

During the movie, I was thinking about how during the Joker’s time in theaters in 2019. The media was saying it was going to spark incels and mass shootings. But when The Batman actually has an incel character that has amassed an online following that all meet up to kill people in a public setting. The media doesn’t say anything about it. Just a thought I had lol

The Riddler has always been one of Batman’s more comedic villains so massive props to this movie for making him believably and legitimately sinister.

I feel like the city of Gotham itself could have its own hour long episode on the channel. She is cruel and relentless, but most of all she cold and consistent. I absolutely love it, and Matt Reeves portrayal of it.

As a lifelong Riddler fan who has always wished for a proper film adaptation you have no idea how happy I am seeing Edward get this much discussion and love.

I like that they took John Doe, Jigsaw and the Zodiac Killer and combined them into the Riddler.

One minor thing I did after seeing the film in theaters, loved it by the way, was compare and contrast Riddler with the Arthur Fleck Joker, because there are similarities, such as being children of abuse with mental health issues who feel discarded by the system and society. Also taking on personas of "who they are" in order to enact revenge, amassing a large group of followers, and both their stories involving Thomas Wayne. Though in Joker's case it was his mother believing him to be Arthur's father (which may be the case, given how trippy the film is), while a lot of Edward's problems and targets are created by Wayne's calling on Falcone and being murdered. Also, Edward cultivates his followers in order to unleash mass destruction, while Arthur doesn't really order them, mostly just using their anger to escape form the police several times. There's probably more but I thought it was interesting.

I think Robert Patterson did a fantastic job communicating just how destructive being batman was for Bruce. He looks perpetually exhausted, if not sickly from his work. And he's not some muscled Greek god like in most superhero films either. He looks like his body is a direct result of the job, rather than someone just training at the gym to get big. That kind of stuff combined with the grounded antagonist figures really helped my suspension of disbelief. This is by far the realest feeling batman yet, and even after so many of them I'm actually up for more.

I found some interesting characters that would make a good analysis. Agent Smith - The Matrix Trilogy Wilson Fisk - Daredevil Clay Puppington - Moral Orel Zebediah Killgrave - Jessica Jones

This film was amazing and this take on The Riddler was unbelievably disturbing. A villain, representing evil, that must be covered is Nina Myers from “24.” She’s a sneaky and unlikely villain who surprises everyone on the series. She’s obviously a follower of that of Makiveli.

5:32 A few elements of the film are based on the Telltale Batman game and the more vicious Riddler is one of them.

Videos like these are absolutely essential. Most people I know think hard-core criminals deserve torture, brutal deaths for the crimes they commit. That is Vengeance, not Justice. Justice is doing right by the victim, punishing the perpetrator but also doing right by the perpetrator by attempting to rehabilitate them. Videos like these make the layperson understand why the villains do what they do. It's not about excusing what these horrible people do. Riddler for example, is a scumbag. But he still a sentient being, every sentient being deserves to be understood. Understanding and the desire to do so, that will ultimately be our salvation. I come across as very self-righteous and I want to say, that I obviously have done wrong myself in my life. The key is to try be better though. And to never stop trying.

If you haven’t, Bill from Kill Bill would be an incredibly interesting villain to cover.

I've been watching Vile eye for a while now. Every time a new episode comes out I am reminded how kick ass it was of you to start this series. There's nothing like it!

When I watched The Batman, I said to myself: "I hope The Vile Eye makes a video about the Riddler, it'd be great." I'm glad it became true. Amazing video, as always

This riddler was written to be the Dark Shadow of the hero, and the two characters share a lot of parallels. They both suffered tragically from the same event, the murder of Thomas Wayne, and it set them on their respective paths. They are both intelligent and have a keen eye for puzzles, riddles and cryptography. They both keep journals detailing their missions, with the Riddler writing essentially his manifesto and Bruce detailing his "Gotham Project". Both characters act out of a shared trauma, though they do not realize it for most of the film. The mirror that the Riddler provides for Batman is his desire to achieve justice without the restraint of rules, which leads him to use killing as a tool to achieve his goals. Through his encounters with the Riddler, Bruce realizes that the path he is on leads to darkness whether he intends it or not and it inspires him to be more than just a vigilante. I really enjoyed this movie, flaws and all, and I hope that a sequel is in the works because I think the Dark Detective version of batman worked very well on screen. Also, I loved the scene where the batmobile is introduced

Truly never thought I’d get to have a Riddler depicted outside of animated series, and Paul Dano owned every minute his character was given. Such an amazing confrontation and mirroring of Batman’s rage and immature notions of justice that force him to become an actual hero and not just a vengeful specter. Such a stellar way to lean into Batman’s origins as a detective, real character growth, and a story that resonates with our own frustrations at an entrenched system. Great video!!

I thank you, noticing people like riddler could and will exist in this real world. You didn’t have to input the links, yet you took the extra “mile” to show that you, someone who has no connection to us, acknowledging the wounded and angry victims like me. You are more than an online teacher, you’re a good man.

For me one of the best movie of batman in recent years, along with the dark knight this movie was fantastic 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇. I was also surprised of the evil of Carmine Falcone, unlike many other versions of the characters who shows to have a honorable code or redeeming quality this version was a despicable monster and probably the most vile in the movie

I really enjoyed the fresh take on the riddler. They actually gave him some depth and made him scary as opposed to a joke of a villain. I’d like an episode on Bill from kill bill if you think it would be an interesting episode

Batman's rogue gallery is FINALLY represented in a proper film. We finally got a couple good villains that were not the Joker.

Batman Forever's Riddler was no less demented but zany, wacky in the best way. The Batman's Riddler brought back vibes of when I first watched Se7en, demonstrating just how demented a person's mind can be and rendered in such a way. And I love 'em both

I love how they turned "The Riddler" into "The Redditor"

You really brought out the whole perspective of this film…and it makes me love it even more. I always watch your videos, I’m a screenwriting student at Full Sail University who is actually creating different scripts now…and to hear how you’ve broke this down to the tee, to show people the great of it…really is an amazing thing, the only thing is that the reporters name was Edward Elliot…father of one Thomas Elliot or Hush as we know him from the comics. However, despite that, this is truly flawless; and as a Batman fan who is team Battinson after seeing this movie…it’s been an honor to watch this film and this video that is of the truest understanding. Thank you dude…thank you!!!!

5:12 just wanted to say that he likely did develop ASPD as a result of his trauma, as ASPD commonly develops as a result from childhood trauma, in contrast to popular belief.

thank you for the ending "PSA" you could call it. Me and my friends were talking about the riddler recently and i had to explain to them that the riddler isn't just a fictional character, it's a representation of a real type of people that have been responsible for real life violence (mass shootings, abuse, assault, etc.)

While Batman is very capable. Truth is that the riddlers plan, not only showed Bruce’s strengths, but more importantly his weaknesses. At first he wasn’t sure the riddler was in the wrong. But by the end he knows exactly where he stands, who he represent. It’s a great character study.

Your videos are truly some of the best constructed analysis on villains i've seen truly commendable work

The story of this movie was really similar to telltale batman with the family backstory with falcone and hill. The riddler equivalent is also screwed over by the waynes and has a similar motive. Kinda suspicious

Incredible work as always. I absolutely love this movie and you broke down the nuance of what makes it work so perfectly. Thank you

So good to see Batman portrayed as a hero!! I love this movie, great video! The contrast of vengeance was a great Batman story to tell and a very important story right now

This is my favorite channel, good work man

thank u for the crisis links, VileEye, very thoughtful of u and appreciated ♥

I think It would be interesting for your take on Gollum. I know his character has been covered to death but I still find his character super interesting. I think it would be interesting to get your opinion if Gollum was always ripe with evil, or the ring just brought out the bad aspects of his character.

I know this is a video about the riddler but as a Batman fan it warms my heart to see that Thomas Elliot (Hush) is the one that tried to expose Thomas Wayne and was dealt with by Falcone

One of your best videos. So well worded and reminds me of why I love Batman and this film.

This series is so damn well done. A step or two above most of the content on RU-vid. The presentation and execution is consistent and your analysis is insightful.

I honestly enjoyed this Batman movie, but admittedly I had trouble understanding the finer details of the story. Thank you for explaining it clearly, I look forward to watching this again with a better understanding. 👍👍

The Batman also understands that fact along his journey. At first he wants to become a warning to the criminals. Strike fear into their hearts, thinking it would deter them from their actions. But we all know punishment alone isn't enough to stop crime. And the Batman learnt that he needs to become more. More than just a crime fighting vigilante. He became a beacon of hope when the people needed one. This film is amazing and I'm excited to see what heights they can reach with this series.

It's such an interesting twist that The Riddler so admired Batman while also hating Bruce Wayne to the point of attempted murder

Well done good sir. Very well written. And thankyou for bringing attention to people struggling with very negative thoughts and feelings

i actually wanted you to do the Riddler, but damn, this is something i didn't expect. great work

Hope that we see Harvey Dent next now there is no DA. Two-Face/Harvey Dent is such a great character who has so much potential. Nolan did such a great job with him and can see Reeves doing a great job too

Great Video! While I enjoy watching you analyze and discuss individual characters, I think this format of discussing the larger context behind them in terms of the scope of the film or book is even more interesting. I'd love to see you do more videos like this one in the future.

You making that plea to those who feel slighted by society and adding resources they can call for help, makes you the hero the people need. Huge fan and I hope screenwriters examine your analysis in an effort to make great villains for generations to come. Cheers!

This was a decent summary of the Riddler's backstory as presented in the film, and I can't deny that I was waiting for you to cover him, though I had hoped you might have focused on the individual instead of his surroundings, so as not to risk condoning him. Ultimately, upon reflection it is obvious that Edward's cardinal sin falls under the category of *envy;* he clearly idealizes but resents Bruce Wayne for a childhood that most of us would consider tragic, operating under the delusion that his own orphanage was somehow objectively worse despite its being a subjective experience. At times, it becomes obvious that on a subconscious level he recognizes that this is not at all the case, since he desires deeply to be treated as an equal to him and acknowledged as an equal *by* him, even coming to expect this as though it were an irrefutable fact on par with his otherwise thorough and admirably deduced research. Batman's rejection of this narcissistic self-identification underscores the central theme of the film: the significance of choice. While both Bruce and Edward were orphans, Batman became a symbol of hope and thereby helped fulfill his father's legacy of renewal, at first by vengeance and then by altruism, whereas the Riddler's vendetta against the guilty was both disproportionate to the villains and horrifying to the innocents. In the final consideration, Edward lost the sympathy he might have received from us for the alleged barbarity of his conditions, since he had become a conduit for that barbarity, whereas Bruce, with his idealistic crusade against these forces, remains the golden boy whom we adopt into our hearts. It's also why I hope someday to see your analysis of _Parasite,_ since the Parks deserve a proper burial and the Kims require a sufficient indictment, if only to serve as a reminder that class does not excuse narcissism, and poverty can never pardon murder. **[({R.G.)}]**

Writers wrote the Riddler perfectly placing his narcissism and and egotistical feelings of intellectual superiority to the forefront. In fact ever character was written and portrayed by the actors perfectly. The writers and director knew their shit! And surprisingly even took some influences from the Batman Arkham games with the fight choreography. While the composer took a lot of inspiration from Danny Elfman’s score from Batman Returns. I also really like that his was almost a crime noir thriller and how much this movie reminded me of Se7en. I loved everything about this movie. It’s on par with The Dark Knight.

Loved it. I had been hoping you would do your typical and do a deep dive into their psyche, me and a friend have been discussing whether the Riddler is afflicted with obsessive compulsive thinking or borderline personality disorder, and that would have been neat. Still, another great video.

I wanted to let u know I absolutely love you content and it makes my day when you upload, thx bro

If you’re planning on doing a film on vigilantism, would you please include Edmond Dantes from The Count of Monte Cristo Novel? That or his appearance in the anime: Gankatsuou The Count of Monte Cristo, they both portrait one of the most morally grey characters that I think could exist in fiction and I think should be considered vigilantes

Theres nothing better than a Vile eye video and lunch break. Great video as always.

This was a great episode, man. Thx

good job viley, great message

I understand these things are subjective but it's really hard to grasp how anyone could say this was a bad film. It's just so god damn good in every way

Glad you made a movie about The Batman, really cool. I think you should maybe make more videos on multiple villains for movies and TV shows instead of focusing on just one. Great video as always!

Well put together discussion of the ramifications of evil actions begetting more evil. I appreciate the analysis of not only the antagonist, but of all the characters, even the heroes, actions that contributed to the falls and folies. I feel like you brought up some great lessons from the film too. A great expose of the choices and impacts people have by their actions.

Excellent content. I am very much enjoying the broad scope of characters being analyzed.

Could you do a video of an evil hero, as in a hero who would be considered evil by normal standards but is overall good, like the punisher?

Another sweet pick. I like how you've been analyzing the film as a whole as opposed to specific characters. I'd love to see "the watchmen" I think it might end up being one of the longest videos you might do because nearly everyone in that movie is morally questionable.

Thank you for what you do, Vile Eye. Great commentary!

Truly a great video vile eye! I enjoy many of your videos my most favourite being the star wars ones, Heath ledgers joker and this one! I found extremely interesting the idea you proposed in this video regarding vigilantism, its pros and cons. I had never thought about the influence it has on others.. I will look forward for the video you proposed in creating, i really hope so you do create it, as it is a really interesting point! Great Job!

My fav part was how they poked a little fun at Alfred and Bats trying to solve the riddles. 😅 It was very cute how they were too smart for their own good.

I was so excited to see this video posted. Was such an amazing film. It was like Batman meets Se7en. Can't wait to see what else Matt Reeves has in store.

Hi dude, great content, happy to see it so early

Just like always, this video was great and I heavily appreciate all the hard work you put into your channel and your videos. We as your viewers are truly blessed to have someone around to take the time to analyze some characters, every now and then. I was just wondering if you could do a character analyzation on Martin Durnley from 1968's 'Twisted Nerve.' I feel like he's been in the shadows for way too long and if anything, he's more of a forgotten character. And it'd be great if you could analyze his character next. Like always, I love your videos!
