Batman (1989) dir. Tim Burton
#i’m so much looking forward to this chaotic sort of energy coming back to batman with pattinson #the ‘genuinely not sure if he’s joking or not’ bruce wayne energy #like is he gotham’s biggest himbo? is he making a self-aware joke as a social ice-breaker as a kindness to vicky vale? #has he actually never noticed this room in his own house before? #surprise HE’S PLAYING ALL THREE #the twitchy dead-eyed yet gentle friendly raccoon bruce wayne persona that redefines ‘more money than sense’ #is my favourite public bruce persona #all this bruce does is give away his money and pop up at charity galas at which he gives away his money #smile benignly from time to time and tell non-sequitur stories (in good faith!) #and no one can quite tell if he’s got an extremely sophisticated and oblique dead-pan humour or if he’s just dumb as a rock #he once spent an entire fundraising dinner fascinated by a novelty ship in a bottle #and when asked about it he says he’s going to try one full life size bc people could just walk through the opening to make the ship in parts #and someone asks the hostess in genuine earnest ‘is wayne really going to do that??’ #and she’s like ‘I DON’T FCKING KNOW ANYMORE GENUINELY YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE’ #batman 1989 #keep gotham weird (harrietvane)
ITS WHAT WE DESERVE
I’ve said it before, but: the real reason Batman and the Joker are opposite numbers is because the Joker is desperate for people to recognise his comedic genius, while Bruce Wayne – both as a civilian and as Batman – lives and dies by the fact that you can never tell whether he’s yanking your chain.
This is also the best Bruce Wayne cause the man is deeply unhinged, and you can see it in his eyes. He is wonderfully and powerfully strange, and that’s what Bruce Wayne should be
