Did you ever think Bruce Wayne. . . may not have it all together? Like he might be dealing with some issues? In the Season 2, Episode 6 of Champion Casters, Michael and Joe dive deep into the depths of a dirty city called Gotham only to find a struggling man named Bruce Wayne. The Batman takes Bruce Wayne very seriously and chooses "gritty" or "grounded" approach to his characterization. Matt Reeves just applied basic psychology to this guy and said, "he'a bit emo and having an identity crisis." While The Batman may take Bruce seriously, the rest of the world isn't as realistic as one might think--and that's a bonus. This movie is emo in all the right and wrong ways. Tonally, it has more in common with Venom than The Dark Knight. If you've been listening to this podcast for a while you know Michael and Joe love the world of Batman. They love Gotham, they love the Robins, they love the psychological villains, but Bruce has alway been a sticking point. Well, that's not the case in this movie, that's for sure!
