I have no idea, dragonfire. This is the Batman 89 comic book, right?
Barbara and Harvey doesn't fit at all. Those characters have nothing to do with each other. Thanks for that, dragonfire. __________________

I know. Nope. You know what? It's ok they did this because The Flash Movie can ignore the new comics, and even if they don't. If Flash goes all Marty McFly on the timeline I don't doubt that the Burtonverse will be change, rebooted, etc. etc.  No problem. I hope everyone is ok. Quote:

Thanks for all that, dragonfire.
Wow, "Ever dance with the Devil by the pale moonlight?" Been a long time since I heard that one. Well, I honestly think DC WB doesn't really care what they do because they're doing multiple different timelines and continuities, so they can just do whatever they want. __________________

Yep, it's been since 1989, dragonfire.
Thanks for the info. I'm not surprised that The Suicide Squad underperformed. I've never liked the idea of streaming at the same time as the cinematic release is out. __________________

thanks Dragonfire...I'lll bring it here for Alex to read since is Comic centered
https://www.denofgeek.com/comics/bat...omic-spoilers/ Batman ’89 picks up after both Burton movies, effectively the director’s “Batman III” if such a wonderful thing existed. After the Joker’s death and Penguin’s demise, things in Gotham City are worse than ever, as the Dark Knight’s crusade seems only to lead to more crime. We’re treated to chaos on the streets from the opening panels of the book, which are set on Halloween night, as the remnants of the Joker Gang and Penguin’s Red Triangle Gang loot stores, mug citizens, and attempt to hijack two armored cars full of cash with a cargo helicopter. In fact, it’s after the Caped Crusader thwarts the Joker Gang’s helicopter, sending it crashing into a building, and leaving several citizens dead or critically injured and millions of dollars in damages, that Gotham DA Harvey Dent decides he’s had enough. Meant to evoke the endless charm and swagger of Billy Dee Williams, who played the character in the first movie but didn’t return for the sequel, Dent is finally given the spotlight he deserved decades ago. In Batman ’89, he’s a man on his own crusade. As he watches the destruction and chaos of the opening panels from the streets after a romantic dinner with GCPD Sergeant Barbara Gordon, whom he’s just proposed to (!), Dent decides it’s actually the Batman’s reign of terror that needs to be stopped. Dent thinks it’s a vigilante operating outside of the law that has bred even more crime and death in his city. Although Batman swore to protect Gotham in his letter to Dent at the end of the first movie, the violence that’s erupted in his wake has left the city under siege, forcing the National Guard to come in to patrol the streets. A curfew has been put in place, while the soldiers hunt down the Batman. The first issue raises some big questions about Keaton’s Batman that would have made for captivating big-screen drama. Early on, the comic asks whether the Dark Knight is ultimately doing more harm than good in Gotham, where citizens now dress up as Batman or the Joker and fight each other in the streets. But a grumpy Bruce Wayne (he’s also graying) stubbornly stands by his convictions during a meeting with Dent, who visits Wayne Manor to ask for Bruce’s help in taking down the Batman. Like in the movies, the duality of the character of Bruce Wayne is front and center in the comic, with the billionaire befriending people in power during the day while working against them as Batman at night. The book also plays up Wayne’s friendship with Dent because it will likely be a key factor in Dent’s transformation into Two-Face. While the beloved district attorney is still one of the good guys by the end of the first issue, the ingredients for Dent’s fall from grace are already in place. There’s the trick coin he uses to make his own luck (given its own origin story that beckons back to Harvey’s childhood in the streets of Burnside), his marriage to Barbara Gordon that will likely never come to pass, his anger at Batman and Bruce (who is hesitant to help Harvey), and the way he threatens two Joker thugs with a gun — although he’s only trying to scare them, we see that the district attorney is willing to get his hands dirty, not unlike Christopher Nolan’s own version of the character. How does Dent’s war on Batman begin? By deposing the Caped Crusader’s greatest ally in Gotham City, Commissioner Jim Gordon (resembling Pat Hingle). Gordon faces a vote of no confidence after the violence on Halloween, while Dent and Detective Bullock try to lure Batman into a trap with the Bat Signal, which has to be repaired every couple of weeks because beat cops keeps smashing it. No, Batman doesn’t have many friends left without Gordon. We do see their friendship flourish after two movies-worth of crime-fighting, though. The comic even addresses Gordon’s connection to Bruce’s origin story, which feels like a nod to what Keaton hoped would be the subject of Batman III if it had happened. |

Thanks for all of that, Dave and dragonfire!
Wait, since when is Barbara Gordon a cop? That sounds more like Batman Beyond. Yeah, this Batman 89 stuff is way different from the comics, Dave. Isn't Marlon Wayans taller than Michael Keaton? This casting is bizarre. I hope that Tia remember our watch this week.  __________________

Maybe it's foreshadowing a live-action Batman Beyond with Keaton.  You're right Alex. Well, if it wasn't bizarre then it wouldn't be the Burtonverse now would it? I hope everyone is ok. Quote:

Here's two interviews with Keaton about his return as Batman for The Flash Movie.
I hope everyone is ok. Quote:
