If you are mining for comic book references and The Batman, check out my thread on the largest influences on the movie here:

🦇The Batman (2022) has one major comic book influence and it's Earth One by Geoff Johns & Gary Frank A young, flawed Batman goes from "vengeance" to hope. A Riddler bomber who enjoys coffee. Martha Arkham. An abandoned subway Batcave, and so much more! The definitive thread🧵

The co-writer of The Batman Part II is referencing a page from Batman: The Imposter #3, which he wrote.

@badvbs17 It's a semi-contained Black Label story called The Imposter. She is Detective Blair Wong, who Bruce becomes romantically involved in.

The Batman: Part II suit
Just a quick edit of how I’d like the suit to look, wanted to make small changes since I think the first one is already perfect.

@GurpsJackie1126 @AhoyBricks Reeves isn't doing full adaptations either. So how is Nolan "shitting all over the source material" when you now acknowledge he's paying plenty homages?
English
@ericmcclung @AhoyBricks Have you read either comic? Also hitting some story beats of the comics doesn't make it a full adaptation. More of an homage
English
The Batman really reveals which people actually read Batman comics (and genuinely engage with them on an artistic level as well) And which Batman fans are just larpers

"Matt Reeves is ashamed to make Batman look like a comic book movie" Lol
English
@GurpsJackie1126 @AhoyBricks The downfall of Harvey Dent. The rooftop scene is taken directly from TLH. The burning pile of mob money too.
Gordon grossed out by Flass, Bruce on the airplane, doing pushups in the Manor, ending on the Gordon talking about the Joker. All sorts of nods to Year One in Begins
English
@ericmcclung @AhoyBricks Nice pun. How is Nolan's trilogy a good adaptation of the Long Halloween? I also disagree on Begins being a year one adaptation (save the one fucking scene with the bats)
English
@GurpsJackie1126 @AhoyBricks I love both films. Your take on Nolan is just comically ridiculous.
English
@GurpsJackie1126 @AhoyBricks Nolan shitting all over the source material is simply ridiculous. Great Year One adaption. TDK borrows the core of The Long Halloween. Nolan wrote the introduction to the freaking trade paperback it influenced him so much. Get out of here with such nonsense.
English
@AhoyBricks And the same people who shit on The Batman loved the Nolan Trilogy which basically shits all over the source material.
English
@AhoyBricks The Batman reveals who has read Batman: Earth One and who has not. It's the biggest influence on the movie BY FAR. Anyone saying The Long Halloween is missing out.

@TheFloacism @98ALTV @PJ11819211 The reveal of Ledger's Joker set the Internet on fire in May of 07. He didn't pass until January of 08. These contrarians are so desperate to downplay and dismiss the greatness of the Nolan films. I wonder why.

@98ALTV @PJ11819211 Revisionist history. People were awestruck by the trailer and Ledger was still alive by that point.
I remember the naysayers were still in denial saying that could not be Heath’s voice.

@theliamnissan Yo, about what Christian Bugatti for a Christian Bale #smokefleet member?

In June of 2025, The Dark Knight ranked sixth in a NYT reader poll of best films of the 21st century, and 28th among industry experts.
What fade out?

PJ@PJ11819211
The Dark Knight really did completely fade out of the public zeitgeist huh, no one even references Heath Ledger's Joker anymore.
English
@PJ11819211 Comical take. This meme/gif shows up every single day online. Bane from Rises, too. Perhaps even more so. The cultural impact of the Nolan films is very strong.
TDK just ranked 6th in a recent NYT reader poll of best films of the 21st century and 28th among industry experts.

@SuperManDavCor Likely fake. Spin Masters toy license with DC is expiring this year.

@Phenomm_ Just saw your silly comment and did a quick search. Pretty simple.
English
@ericmcclung and yeah I was wrong cool, But it doesnt change the fact you guys have the mcu in your mouths all day long. But thank you for being obessed with me that much you saved a tweet from almost a year ago.
English
I swear you guys always have the mcu in your mouths 24/7. Cool “Superman” is supposed to be on the same level as Spider-man ofc he should outgross “thunderbolts”. The real question is why can’t “Superman” get even close to a billion? When Spider-Man does it so easily?
Jin x Supreme ❤️🔥@Jinsakuu
Superman outgrossed all 3 MCU films in 2025 btw
