I find it hilarious that the other reviewers seem live in a world where the stuff that happens to Linkara is normal. No one questions it, they just say “Yeah this happens” or “this is what internet reviewers lives are like” but the Nostalgia Critic is so self-centred he’s missed giant robot attacks, Missing No. kidnapping the entire world population, multiple space battles and meeting Mechakara.

[@Ksawarrior]

I recently discovered that the original screenplay by Sam Hamm for this movie not only didn’t have Batman killing, but also never had the Joker being the one who murdered Bruce’s parents. Burton made the change for Joker as the Waynes’ killer for the third act, which coincidentally the only portion of the movie where Batman kills. No, seriously, on rewatch, I was surprised that for a version criticized as being okay with killing, the fights before the reveal are lacking in Batman killings. He even struggles to save Jack Napier from the acid fall. Considering that Returns was the one where Burton had more creative control, and that’s where Batman really seems cavalier about burning/blowing dudes up throughout, the reveal about the change in this movie’s script makes a lot of sense.

[@Krendall2]

Making the Joker the one who "created" Batman was a controversial choice, and I feel it's a bad one. The mugger should be a fairly unimportant person because it represents the randomness of crime itself. Batman isn't out for revenge, he's out to fight crime to keep another person from going through what he did.

[@Ksawarrior]

@@Krendall2 I can understand that. At the same time, this doesn’t ruin the movie for me. This could have never gotten a sequel, so give it a conclusion just in case.

[@skibot9974]

@@Ksawarrior they could’ve still had Joker die through other means like Batman fails to save him or he chooses to jump

[@dreamlandnightmare]

@@skibot9974 Batman doesn't intentionally or directly kill Joker in this. He just tethers the Joker to the gargoyle so he can't escape on the helicopter. Batman likely didn't anticipate the gargoyle breaking loose and its weight pulling Joker's grip from the landing skid of the chopper. Now, in the final cutscene of the NES video game adaptation, Batman straight up murders Joker by throwing him over the edge of the belltower.

So, you might be wondering where the classic "I'm Batman" line is. Well, that's because...it wasn't in the original screenplay. The original line was the one we see in this comic: "I am the night". What happened was, Keaton, who had repeated the line over and over again leading up to when they'd film the scene, but when they finally rolled camera, he said "I'm Batman", and they liked it so much they decided to go with that instead.

It's great to see Doug and Lewis together like this and is a nice swan song to the various crossovers they've had throughout the years.

With Lewis being the straight man while Doug being... well, Doug. Interestingly enough, the first ever video I saw of Lewis WAS the Alone in the Dark Review so yeah, you could say that this was very NOSTALGIC for me.

[@TheEmeraldWeirdo]

1: You make a very good point: I can't remember the last time the Critic reviewed something nostalgic. 2: Another point you could have made in favor of Batman's credit card? At that point in the series, he's pretty much a public figure (what with him showing up at a charity auction and all), I doubt he'd have much trouble applying for one. 3: WHEN DID THE CRITIC SHAVE HIS HEAD?!

[@ghidorah15]

Furthermore, despite the Critic's scathing remark about Linkara not always reviewing comic books, Atop the Fourth Wall doesn't have them in its name, so it's not forced to stick with them even if that's Linkara's preference. Heck, it's not even forced to stick with *bad* comics, despite being the show where bad comics burn. Critic is just being a hypocrite, as usual.

[@AngusStewart01]

The Emerald Weirdo in q recent review a few weeks back I think it might of been monkeyebone or a few movies before review.when he went bald.

[@AT4W]

He actually reviewed the animated GI Joe movie a few weeks ago.

[@shadowdramon01]

1. Depends on your definition of nostalgic, or who he's peddling nostalgia to. After all, much of the audience that tuned in back in the days to watch him review films from their childhoods from the 90s (and occasionally late 80s) are now pushing forty, if not already into their forties, (which sadly includes myself...😭) and I would think, though I'm not sure, that younger people are joining, if not slowly taking over his audience and his last few reviews, such as Eragon and the Sorcerer's Apprentice are at least about ten years old. Old enough to be nostalgic for these younger, newer audience members. Plus, as Linkara mentioned above, he recently reviewed G.I.Joe the Movie from 1987 and before that, Monkeybone (2000) and before that Ang Lee's Hulk from '03 and in July, Cats Don't Dance which was a 90s film. 3. Back in June or July around the time of his 10th anniversary celebration. He and Cinema Snob look almost like twins now.

[@DigiRangerScott]

Omar Harris The Sorcerer's Apprentice is only from 2010, but keep in mind: The justification for reviewing 2005's Alone in the Dark in 2009 applies to many of Doug's NC review choices nowadays (plus everything up to 2007 falls into the last cutoff ever in effect, since there was a 10 year minimum)

I honestly would love to see these two review more Batman stuff just because of how different they feel about the character (ie Doug has no problem with Batman killing but Lewis does)

[@afonsolucas2219]

I feel mixed about that. I am very much against Batman killing, exept if it's a different interpretation. But I feel like it goes against Batman. He's trying to stop crime and make said criminal's respected citizens. He'd be no better than his parents murderer. But if it's a different interpretation, yeah! No sweat.

[@aros0018]

I think it depends on how the movie itself handles him killing. In the Burton movies, it's never established he has any problem killing, so the audience doesn't really question it. In the Nolan movies, it goes many times into why he doesn't kill. In BvS, he's more filled with anger and vengeance and thus why he cares less if he kills, but the movie itself at least portrays him being in the wrong for how he's acting, thus why I personally don't mind it as much.

[@Duothimir]

@@aros0018 Plus, as someone pointed out on Linkara's review of Batman Returns, in that movie Batman has achieved his vengeance for the death of his parents, and he's started seeing every criminal as just another Joker. Retreating further from humanity, further from his morals, until he's shaken up by the disastrous events at the end of the film. One could see this as the reason he adopts Robin in Batman Forever, as he needs that additional moral anchor by his side... not to mention some real social interaction on those long, cold Gotham nights while he's on patrol.

[@aros0018]

Exactly. If you're going to have Batman, or really any superhero kill, at least show that there were some consequences to that act and that it did effect them. Both the Keaton and Affleck Batmen became so steeped in their need for vengeance that it took them down some very dark paths, until a sizable enough event happened that shocked them to their senses and made them reevaluate what they were doing and what they'd become. The (apparent) death of Catwoman, one of the only people Bruce had been able to connect with in a long time and whose tragedy was a reflection on himself, and the death of Superman, someone Bruce had completely misjudged in his blinded rage and whose death Bruce was partially responsible for. I'm not saying I like want Batman to always be wrong, but I do like stories like these more where he isn't the "Golden perfect, only real superhero" that a lot of other more modern Batman media and stories make him. Having him have flaws and the ability to recognize those flaws within himself and grow is far more interesting than "I'm great because I'm Batman. Everyone else is just a naive fool."

[@tannerprice2018]

6:37 fun fact: that scene in the movie where Batman says "I'm Batman," was a mistake. The original line was "I am the dark Knight," but the actor forgot his line. So he just improvised and said "I'm Batman."

To linkara’s credit about that “where does he get those wonderful toys” toy commercial line, I think linkara was referencing the MOVIE’S tv commercials, as pretty much every single commercial for this film when it aired on tv used that line.

These two characters bounce off each other so well it's really the best episode all year. Just fun getting to see the Critic being told that his reality has these monsters in it that he never new about. I'm hoping to see that develop.

[@keyblademasterclark]

Despite how everything has gone down with the channel awesome stuff, I genuinely miss the times when the Critic and Linkara would do a crossover review. Hell, it's because of their review of Superman IV that I discovered Linkara back on blip (RIP) and became a fan. They always had great on screen chemistry and worked so well off of each other.

[@Mars_over_seer]

Linkara ur too late to save Nostalgia Critic Bat credit car illness. Someone test him just to make sure if he still has it

[@TheNerdestOfOne]

It’s weird seeing the nistolgia critic and linkara do a crossover especially now

[@JThom529]

Shame on you, Doug, the Joker is just fucking with her! HE'S THE JOKER, he's not serious about art, he's sick. How dare you nitpick it and try to actually think he's serious. You give us Batfans a bad name

[@slwalsh]

I do like how DC managed to get the traditional comic book coloring of Batman (blue & grey) in there briefly - when Vicki's brought to the Batcave..

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

It's like two cousins who dont like eachother forced into a road trip together...

[@AGuyWithAChannel]

Can we take a moment to fully recognise the quite intelligent jab, "Remember when you used to be nostalgic?" - as someone who's been with Doug since "A Troll in Central Park", I love how it's gone. But damn, Lewis, if that ain't true.

[@TheGrandOracle]

And some say there are still those who wait for the next boll review

[@TwilightRogue15]

That opening brought such a smile to my face. It's so weird seeing someone else sitting on your couch. My eye was trying to convince me that NC was green-screened in, it felt so weird. XD That gargoyle has seen some things, man. About time the bee jokes made a return, and we got two of them! It's always good to make new material, but certain callbacks will always be classics. Also, the fact that it's a Nostalgia Critic cameo that brought back an old running gag is not lost on me. I...think you mean 'spattering' his blood all over the newspaper. : 3 Daddened? I was half expecting a "huuuuuuumaaaaaaaan" at the end to make NC run off. : p That whole dialogue was priceless.

[@ellnats]

20:22 seeing critic in THAT bat mask is honestly the high point for me

[@nahmonilldan]

Well this might be the last time this happens

[@mammamiagamer7335]

Linkara-I'm sure everyone was begging you for a clipless review of captain America:Civil War. I was...

[@LchanOtakudom]

I'm so glad I got to see and meet NC at Metacon this year, and I even got a glimpse of Linkara too! You guys work so well together, I love it!!!

[@joelatkinson4967]

I love these crossovers you two have amazing chemistry and great comedic timing, this one really shows it.

[@toqkaizogou1636]

7:35 At least he *did* make the leap over to TV in a cameo for the CW Crisis on Infinite Earths.

[@jonbotonetheredshirtreview902]

I would like to see them crossover for a avatar comic review

[@charlezard5579]

Jonathan Awot an avatar as the blue ones or the last airbender

[@jonbotonetheredshirtreview902]

Crazywhovian Nerd the last air bender. does the blue one even have a comic?

[@DalekTheSupreme]

It's great to see my two favorite Channel Awesome producers doing another crossover. I really like this video. Reviewing a comic book adaptation of one of the Nostalgia Critic's favorite movies does seem fitting, and there's a definite chemistry between Doug and Lewis. Usually, the Nostalgia Critic's large personality seems to dominate his crossovers, but here, he balances his opinions and commentary off of Linkara fairly evenly, and we even got a few friendly (but still amusing) pokes at modern Nostalgia Critic videos. I'd love to see more crossovers between these two in the future.

[@Astrithor]

6:36 may be favorite Linkara Batman joke ever.

[@Jygerthe2nd]

Actually, I seem to recall a story from that Batman animated film that was actually a bunch of animated films where Batman gets a new suit that deflects bullets, but he gets rid of it after it almost kills someone, claiming that it works too well. Granted, the Tim Burton Batman has no issues killing criminals, but I suppose you could make the argument that he'd be just as afraid of it hitting a civilian.

[@kimifw58]

You mean Batman: Gotham Knight?

[@kingofprosecutors4598]

Jeffery Phillips huh. I just finished watching that one

[@Jygerthe2nd]

Yeah, that one.

[@TyroKitsune]

The TGWTG/Channel Awesome universe just got a little more complicated.

[@pokemongirl5674]

This was a nice crossover. In all honesty, I didn't expect the balloon from the Nostalgia Critic's IT review to make a cameo appearance in this video as it really caught me off guard.

[@FanStoryVideoStudios]

Ahh I love when you guys do crossovers ^^ Pointing out one another's tropes was a fun touch! Sudden Bat-Cowl in time for I AM THE NIGHT! was probably my favorite funny moment ^_^
