🦇 🚨 Batman 2022 Spoiler: 🚨 🦇

Yeah but you know the part where he’s talking to Falcone about his parents and he’s all teary-eyed and his lips are trembling and he’s speaking so softly

Showing that vulnerability in a character like Batman, a character who is usually hyper-masculine and stoic, is what really set this movie apart for me. This Bruce feels so deeply; his trauma is written all over his face. This is not a cocky playboy party animal billionaire douche, this is a mentally ill young man whose entire worldview is being shattered.

And then at the end he sees that his violence is only begetting more violence. He sees that yes, he’s scaring the shit out of the criminals but he’s also setting an example for them. The city that he loves is terrified and he’s partially responsible for that.

So he decides to change.

Bruce’s love for his city will always be his greatest strength. It makes him vulnerable to more devastating loss—the one thing he fears above all else—and he still makes the conscious choice to be kind.

His kindness takes so much more bravery than his violence.
