Hey Super Hero Stuff You Should Know, I've been listening to your guys' videos since February, whether it's at work or to fall asleep to and resulting in me dreaming of running through the claustrophobic horrors of Arkham Asylum, it's always been an interesting and fun time listening to them, and has been a new and more thorough source for my knowledge on Batman. Thomas Wayne originally being intended to be lit up in a Batman costume for the death of the Waynes in one of the early drafts for what would become the 1989 BATMAN will always be hilarious, and how I believe you guys joked about how Darren Aronofsky would've handled Two-Face in his edgy and grounded take unmade universe by having his hand super glued to the left side of his face by Batman is even more hilarious, "Try getting outta that one, Two-face…!"... But getting to a topic that I would really appreciate if you guys could give some attention to would be a little old tinfoil fan theory of mine I used to have for how the JOKER films could've introduced Batman without it being too much like a "comic book movie" as Joaquin Phoenix said he wanted to avoid for this depiction of the BATMAN MYTHOS, whether it's in the opening or ending to one of your videos, it's good for me… This fan theory I've had since not long after the release of the first JOKER film I know was very unlikely, but it was one I still really liked to believe and literally have never seen anyone else believing in something similar. But on LIVE WITH MURRAY FRANKLIN, Murray mentions Gotham dealing with "super rats", rats that have likely obviously been going through freakish growths, whether it's from gorging themselves or from negligent disposing of waste, or both. And considering that Gotham is known for having bats, with the city in some depictions of the lore being associated with the creatures since even before its foundation from settlers, when the natives worshiped a bat God, could it be possible for people to start sighting "super bats"...? And due to Joker having a warped, terrifying dream-like sense of reality, might he catch the glimpse of one of these freakishly huge bats and mistake it as a "Batman"? However it would be left up to interpretation, neither known to Joker or the audience if what he's seeing is really a giant bat, a hallucination, or actually Batman, as I think having everything mostly left up to interpretation is what made the first film so impactful and would've be right up Joaquin Phoenix's alley that would've still kept his Joker grounded while still having Batman in the mix. Again, it would really be nice if you could give this old crackpot theory of mine some attention, and I don't really know how to end this, but I look forward to more of your videos to feed my knowledge on Batman, and thank you…
