Robert Pattinson Is Our Emo King - The Batman - Guilty Pleasures Ep. 52

[@camilals9517]

I love when garrick gets hyped, especially when talking about comic books and animation, I could hear him for hours

[@Roneish1996]

Same give us just all the videos of him nerding out.

[@lalasketches3615]

Honestly, I don't think Robert Pattinson is the worst Bruce Wayne. I think the writers did it on purpose, since he's a young Batman in this story, he's also a young Bruce Wayne. He hasn't developed his "Billionaire Playboy" alter ego yet, because he doesn't care about being Bruce Wayne. He only cares about being "Batman". They show this when we first see Alfred and he tells Bruce that invited the accountants of Wayne Interprises to breakfast. When Bruce asks why, Alfred says "Because I couldn't get you to go to them!" Bruce responds with "I don't got time for that." They argue about the family's legacy, with Bruce stating that what he's doing as the Batman is his family's legacy, not as Bruce Wayne.

[@meurieka]

I am a HUGE fan of Batman (the comics) and I loved Battinson! So refreshing to see an inexperienced young Batsy who’s still kinda unsure of himself and doesn’t know how to use some of his gadgets, lol. Edit: I completely agree with Zach, the chase scene was exhilarating af

[@KrystalAmor1]

I'm with Garrick on this one. The opening scene is the best opening scene EVER. ELITE VIBES. As a comic book fan this movie was truly a treat 🖤😩👌

[@katelynkaboom]

My favorite fun fact about this movie: The writer of The Long Halloween was apparently Matt Reeve's college professor.

[@mariemiel]

That's so cool! I never knew that!

[@rgoodfellow]

He doesn’t care about his hair. He doesn’t caaaaare what his personality comes out as yet as Bruce Wayne. He doesn’t care to show anything outwards. YET. But not that he knows he has to do more good, more than just punishing, he will start doing those things.

[@animeluchia5405]

@43:25 “the only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage”

[@MiracleMadkins]

Im a Batman fan and a dark knight fan and I fucking LOVED this movie. It’s incredibly accurate and real to me. And that car scene was so got damn legendary. Dark knight is its own thing but if you aren’t able to see the beauty in this one you’re on your own for the rest of your life. I also greatly appreciate how this wasn’t focused on the joker and gave some other villains some attention especially the riddler. He’s so underrated!

[@TheFirstShowing]

The Riddler literally calls him Batman when he is writing his notes to him

[@bethfranklin5254]

Yes to all of this. Garrick’s energy in this is everything! When Kelsey said ‘we’re responsible for trump’ that’s how we feel about Boris. I also hate where I live 😂

[@payaljairamdas1205]

I loved Zach’s random outburst dogging all things British lol. Love our chaotic king ♥️👑 LOVED the Batman been a Robert Pattinson stan since twilight and seen almost everything he’s been in so knew this was going to be great

[@alex1smay]

I absolutely adore this podcast! I don't even have to watch what y'all are discussing to thoroughly enjoy every second of this. Y'all's dynamic warms my heart and I feel like I'm hanging out with my friends when watching

[@rajamims7472]

55:00 Fun Fact I found out recently, Alfred Molina (the actor who played Doc Ock) actually voiced Mr.Freeze in the Harley Quinn 2019 Animated Series.

[@project.protagonist]

Garrick : it's like square text in the comic book Me, a webtoon artist, excited someone appreciates the square text.

[@TheLeraLush]

I had a second sexual awakening because of emo Robert Pattinson so how Kelsey felt nothing I am so lost lol

[@TheBirchView]

My Fav Batman Film, without question. Well Done Reeves and Pattinson, you both understood the assignment 👏👏👏👏

[@viryvam759]

Also you guys, if I remember right, didn't Robert just learn to barely drive in Twilight?! Because he was still transitioning into American customs and had a stunt man drive for him!!!!?!!!! He's grown alot from that to now Storming with the Batmobile 🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!!

[@lordgray4397]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS hoping for some Paul Dano appreciation

[@erd4574]

You all need to promote this podcast more. It should be so much more popular than it is! How you all make this watchable when I haven’t seen half of the movies you’re talking about it incredible.

[@avaraveda649]

My favourite scene in this movie was the pitch black gunfight scene where all you see is the fire from the guns and I little of the fight in the light of that fire and batman gradually getting closer, it’s amazing, honestly blew my mind

[@rebeka6078]

After the Dune episode i immediately bought myself a ticket to see it for the next day. Just did the same thing for The Batman right now. Been hyped to see this movie since the teaser two years ago and mad at myself for waiting so long that it’s no longer in imax 😩

[@taylorlee9415]

The Black Parade MCR tumbler reference 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀

[@pamlegaspi]

The Batman and Dune were both shot by Greig Fraser! Thats why they both look so goddamn amazing. Cant wait for Greig to win another Oscar for this movie next year 🙌

[@kdragon4046]

I'm with Kelsey. Whenever they mentioned Maroni or Falcone and they weren't on screen, I was like gahhhh! Which one was he?!

[@liveinluv]

I really loved this version of Batman and Zoe Kravitz did amazing!!! I loved how at the end Batman realizes he cant just be all vengeance

[@Adonto01]

Well now you have to do Batman and Robin if Kelsey has never seen it!

[@celestebezerra9051]

such a good episode. as a lifelong fan of batman (comics, cartoons, movies, etc) i absolutely LOVED this version. i felt the same as a Zach when i heard rhat Pattinson was gonna play the role, but i was so pleasantly surprised. such a good film imo

[@Miss3rica]

Finally tuning in bc I just watched The Batman last night. So thrilled everyone loved it as much as I did. This pod should be so much more successful than it currently is. Suggestion for future pods… Start having fans as guests to discuss their fav GPs. solicit them in the comments for future EPs.

[@photostrips]

I love that Zach's style is just the guys from the "all the young dudes" sequence in clueless

[@alexare6431]

The "look at me" was a callback to when heath ledger said that in TDK.

[@haileyshields4051]

this episode made me go back to watch your twilight episode. i love the growth of this podcast so much!

[@KayMarieee123]

I was waiting for this one for sure! Emo King 😂

[@nanichdz]

I saw Colin Farrell in the credits and was completely confused. Like how did I miss him? When I looked it up... I just can't. I'd sooner believe he played the batmobile.

[@KittenCece]

This movie was a masterpiece. From the writing to the acting to the entire fucking way it was shot! Every moment of this movie was light play and symbolism and it was breathtaking to be so captivated by the way certain moments were filmed. I'm excited because this felt like Battinson coming into Batman, and next movie is WIDE OPEN to the origin of Bruce Wayne as the alter ego. Not the boy or man, but the alter ego. And I'm so excited for that to finally get the respect it deserves !

[@krystalgeorge5931]

Another RPats movie you should ABSOLUTELY review is Remember Me. I just watched it this weekend and had no idea what I was getting into. Lol I scream/ laughed when the borderline offensive ending revealed itself.

[@trevorshelton664]

I absolutely love this podcast so much!!! But I have to be totally honest, I'm confused how everyone missed the part where you literally see Riddler tracing the question mark into his latte with a straw

[@alexisdalia1591]

I stopped listening 12 minutes in and went to go watch it with my dad I’m glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I did

[@TheJelliphish]

The Batman wears platforms and I will die in this hill

[@totallybionic123]

I had to pause to say, you guys are wrong. He was called the Batman in the movie. All of the Riddler’s cards were addressed to him as “The Batman” and the cops discussed it. So he was called Batman and Vengeance.

[@ArtByDesign80]

Right…he is definitely known as Batman in the movie. I did not think he meant that he literally was named Vengeance. Batman describes himself in the comics by saying, “I am Vengeance. I am the Night, I am Batman.”

[@dirtyblonde02356]

I want you guys to know that I started listening to this podcast (and had no intention of seeing the movie) just to enjoy your energy & dynamic, but had to turn it off to avoid spoilers because the first 5 min of this podcast has me itching to watch the movie! Will report back later after watching the movie 🍿👀

[@mayennesebial3463]

I did the same but for Pig 😂

[@abbycameron3811]

Okay but you do SEE the riddler playing with the sugar and making the question mark in his coffee himself, just to redeem that dope moment right now. Not the barista - he gets the coffee then does his own sugar art while waiting.

[@stephanieshanonn366]

I haven't seen it yet and now I want to see it even more !!!

[@viridian5maureen853]

Pattinson not really playing Bruce Wayne as we know him and the haircut seemed like part of the point for me, that Bruce Wayne saw no point in being Bruce Wayne and socializing with other people publicly and was mentally the Batman (or Vengeance) the whole time. The Batman doesn't need a decent haircut. Alfred's appearances are almost always him trying to get Bruce to go out there and be Bruce, a regular human being, once in a while at least and try to use his identity as Bruce to work toward some of his goals.

[@alexdv9960]

I'm so happy to see how much they loved this movie. As a fellow Batman lover, I thought it was the best live action Batman movie yet. Warner Bros did a great job, and I'm hoping to see more like this!

[@SCordova19]

I really hope that Zoe Kravitz gets her own catwoman movie! But I disagree with Zach I think she got a lot of really strong character development for a movie that she’s not the protagonist. We know her backstory: her mother was murdered by her father and no one cared. Batman in this story has no room for gray areas, Catwoman exclusively cares about gray areas. Her entire philosophy is if she doesn’t stand up for these people then no one will she even says that explicitly. And she is completely fine to break the law to help the oppressed while Batman disagrees. He’s super judgy (originally) about her stealing from another literal criminal and Batman still isn’t ok with it. Also Kelsey Zoe Kravitz said she played Catwoman as bi so yes absolutely and I’m here for it too!

[@mariemiel]

I watched this three times in cinemas and loved it every single time.

[@lndcruz721]

i loved watching this movie, totally did not feel like 3 hours lol

[@nuzhatnayeem1119]

In the movie, Bruce is supposed to be in his late 20's

[@taylorlee9415]

To further emphasize the origins story thing, he is not yet Commissioner Gordon and I don’t recall him ever becoming commissioner?? He is still Lieutenant Gordon in this.

[@maddyglasser309]

The riddler could have made the question mark himself. If you have a knife or a spoon or something like that you can pick up the foam/move it around but the fact that there were lattes at that diner makes no sense

[@dallas3054]

Fave ep to date!

[@Sahel_2004]

Pleases do season 2 of BRIDGERTON. Anthony is so hot and fine. I almost forgot about Simon because of Anthony

[@clairem6821]

I could watch the car chase scene for HOURS its AMAZING

[@mygirl737g2]

Garrick, I too only eat sour patch kids at the movie theater :)

[@sulsulsunday432]

Not me getting goosebumps at Garrick’s description of the first 10 minutes and the voice over

[@augustlee7306]

dude i fucking love kelsey's lime green platforms

[@augustlee7306]

kelsey fr where'd you get those

[@criticaltipper7699]

Most of Batman’s character is being depressed about his dead parents and you guys really said “he was so saddduh” like that isn’t the point

[@MegzWegz87]

He has to be called Batman in the movie. All of the Riddler’s notes say For the Batman. Or in this universe are we supposed to think the Riddler gave him the name??

[@ernestorodriguez8388]

I'm sorry. Nathalie Emmanuel from "Fast and Furious fame"? Lmao

[@terminatrix92]

Why does everyone have such a selective memory for the previous Batman movies? This is the ‘first time Batman portrayed as a Detective’ because he follows clues?? Like in the Nolan films Bruce Wayne doesn’t research, or tail suspects, or interrogate witnesses, or work with the cops, or use his technology to spy on people, or make citizen arrests… except he does!!! In every movie!! The tone might be different: Nolan’s films are crime thrillers and Reeves is more Noir, but doubling down on the tropes doesn’t make one better than the other and the twists here are just as messy as in the Nolan films.

[@joshkent1199]

You are all spot on...

[@massmutt6173]

the fact that he said the line, "you're not my father" is a little too emo, angsty teen for me. didn't need 3 hours to put something solid on the screen

[@dude123lol9]

anyone else thinking of amy whine house when kelsey said fuck me pumps i was weak laughing

[@jacobo2790]

He's like 28 in this movie, and The Riddler leaves all of his clues to "the Batman"

[@EvWuzhere]

Batman clopping on screen w his ricks was certainly a choice...

[@Roneish1996]

Batman is my biggest special interest and the movies reusing the same villains over and over again never giving time to the best and most wild ones is the biggest disservice to the characters of this world so whenever people who haven’t read comics say they’re tired of Batman movies I understand why. This is the most true to character version of Batman we’ve gotten on film and doesn’t entirely focus on the villain and actually gives him an arc unlike every other life action Batman movie that just makes the villain interesting and Batman is just there (yeah I am looking at you Nolan trilogy).

[@FramesPerSecond]

What are y’all on about? The top 3 car chase scenes are all from Mad Max Fury Road

[@Namite0001]

Zack: I'm 5' 7.5" Garrick: I'm 5' 10.5" with shoes Me: I'm 5' 3" on a good day 🥲

[@Roneish1996]

Martha and Thomas Wayne were clearly watching the Antonio Banderas the legend of Zoro since the comic books have them seeing zoro who is part of the inspiration of Batman’s creation.

[@mattfrank5811]

Long Halloween is great!! Killing joke is also a great one

[@nobodyinparticular2024]

I would kill for y'all to do an episode on Triple Dog. It's the edgy sister movie to Sleepover. It's absolutely insane, It's a teen girl thriller with basically the plot of Sleepover plus murder, drugs and sex.

[@camouflagefluff3215]

Garrick's character arc this episode from ragging on Edge Lord Extraordinaire, Bruce Wayne, to understanding that he's an emo millennial is immaculate growth tbth. I am obsessed with the inexperienced and young Batman, and I think the lack of Traditional Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist Bruce Wayne was great because: first off Bruce Wayne is a Hot Mess & Neurodivergent secondly he's the only Batman that I felt would actually adopt or mentor half a dozen (minimum) kids. The Squad talking about the Chaotic Bisexual energy of the Cat and the Bat is everything. I agree that the car scene chase was unnecessary and absolutely had a body count, but also it looked and sounded sick AF, so 🤷

[@camouflagefluff3215]

Glad some of Tumblr & the Internets takes were part of Zachs research because they are hilarious. Big fan of the meme thats literally "Area Man would literally rather do x than go to therapy."

[@abadira]

Not to be a simp but Garrick is SO FINE when he's talking about something he's passionate about 🥵

[@innermoppet3378]

I thought whole point was about renewing if you can't get over. also, the fact that the people were promised renewal and were failed which led to radicalism i thought was really timely. agree about him being a bad wayne; half the movie is the fact he's so into batman that he's ignoring wayne to the point the accountants are knocking on the door, criminals have started using his family's charity as their personal ATM because he hasn't taken any steps to oversee the business, and he basically has been a hermit for years. bruce wayne needs to get his house in order if he's going to pay for batman's toys.

[@selineabanto]

pleeease do an episode on season 2 of bridgerton 🥺💖

[@desireecowling167]

Also to the staple face comment Cameron Monaghan did this in Gotham. This batman movie was like art to me. I loved it. Also, on the hair topic I think it's meant to look like he's a shut-in because he pretty much is in this movie. He doesn't go out and do anything and so his hairs just long and shaggy and looks unkept. Which kind of makes sense if you're shut in?

[@cruztastrophe]

I'm gonna make a long comment. Controversial take: I don't like Heath Ledger's Joker and I don't like The Dark Knight or The Dark Knight Rises. Consequently, I loved this movie and didn't really see it as a comparison to any of the Nolan trilogy because none of those were noir enough IMO. It felt similar to BTAS though. On the emo hair: It looked kind of emo, but mostly it looked like sweaty hat-hair. I assumed he was unwashed with bad hat hair during his Bruce Wayne scenes because in the beginning he mentions being nocturnal and the Bruce Wayne stuff always happened early or midday. I didn't even know it was Colin Farrell until the end credits. The squealing of the car plus the intense "villainy" score for Batman reminds me of the music from Wonder Woman 1. The electric cello in WW was supposed to sound like the wail of a banshee. The squealing of the car feels very Bat-like screech. Maybe I'm reaching, but it was cool. Catwoman was FOR SURE a bicon (bi icon). The Riddler straight up pulled a "bring your own latte" at a 24 hour hole in the wall diner purely for the ✨aesthetic ✨ . As soon as it panned to the top down shot, I said "he totally did that himself. They don't do latte art at a diner." I like this portrayal of the Batman-Bruce Wayne dichotomy. He develops the playboy side of Bruce Wayne as a way to hide in plain sight because it enables him to further his job as Batman. Noob Batman hasn't yet gotten the hang of switching back and forth yet and I liked seeing him fumble it a bit by being emo and depressed. It's long been established that Batman is his real self and Bruce Wayne is the mask. This movie is the midpoint of that transition, which hasn't been done well on screen before. Especially with the "sins of the father" thing. Now Bruce Wayne can do philanthropy in the light and Batman can beat people up in the dark and he can help Gotham in both ways.

[@connerolmedo888]

You guys missed when Riddler was a Barista for 5+ yrs (Miles shade) and put the question mark in his foam latte himself

[@SOLmeMAYBE]

I've been reading up on Tumblr posts on Battinson after watching the movie. Can't wait to hear what these people think coz it's bound to be hilarious!

[@CinnamonBasic]

havent seen Batman as a child?! Gotta watch the tv show Gotham!!

[@brooklynparkse]

I enjoyed it. It felt right having a Batman where the conflict felt more grounded in reality than usual. ‼️ BUT ‼️- and this may ruin the movie for some - I cannot get over that Batman spends all this time solving puzzles to find the Riddler … when he ends up finding the Riddler in the same freakin’ window that he’d been hold up in, and taking pictures from, for WEEKS! World’s best detective, or any reporter for that matter, never went to check what vantage point he’d taken all those photos from?!? Even when they’re all over the news? Not even for physical evidence? Bruh. They could have caught this dude WAY earlier.

[@FramesPerSecond]

Ya’ll need to see Everything Everywhere All At Once! It’s new but honestly one of the best films of the 21st century!

[@kabean09]

When Kelsey was talking about the spanx...lol. My only thought was don't give the pervs this information! haha.

[@kiahmonaco4337]

He is also from Westworld!

[@jamesbrown9524]

Requesting you watch and discuss the movie Remember me” it has Robert Pattinson in it

[@faierest]

who the hell did kelsey watch this movie with lmao

[@jackiegardner531]

Wait weren’t the letters from riddler addressed to “the Batman” like that’s how people knew him??

[@PK.NOiR.7]

Isn't it year one? Not the long halloween

[@lchuck7439]

Just wanted to say with Jason Momoa joining la familia in FF10, I am ready to receive. Perceive that however you like but I said what I said. ✌🏽

[@hazzmat9527]

Great movie but definitely 30mins too long. Fun fact: my hairdresser worked on the batman and she mentioned how the film didn't cover up that it was filmed in covid-19 too well.

[@chocolatekyppcookie]

PLEASE DO SWISS ARMY MAN AND THIS IS A PLAIN PLEASURE BUT EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE

[@katelynkaboom]

ive barely started but shoutout to the golf wang sweatshirt

[@kaitlyngomez3907]

Big batman fan: would love a movie verse redemption for mr.freeze. also think zsaaz would fit really well is this style especially now that penguin is established for that origin story. I would LIKE to see some form of the mad hatter, but I get that's a little too fantastical. And even though Harvey dent is my favorite I think he was perfect in the nolanverse. Finally, it's ok to not have the joker in a Batman movie...there is an entire rogue gallery to explore

[@kamdhatt7648]

It's year 2 Bruce Wayne hasn't developed that side character yet

[@Virtuochar]

I love your guys’ take on this movie because it was FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!! I’m also the 690th like and I love that for me lol BUT KEEP DOING WHAT YALL ARE DOING!!! This is hands down my favorite podcast EVER.

[@tokima1499]

Some of the things you've mentioned has me wondering if y'all have ever seen "Gotham" the series. Best version of the penguin. 🐧

[@taylorlee9415]

I agree but I will always love a Danny Devito penguin. I enjoy the Tim Burton movies. Can’t help myself.

[@gratefullydead4785]

They need to let the joker be for a while, so Many wonderful Batman villains to explore. Give me catwoman, Harley and poison ivy messing up Gotham

[@princesstragedeigh]

Zoe Kravitz is the ultimate Catwoman.

[@ankitamenon8780]

Maybe I should have gone by myself because i went with a group of friends and it was just us and this old couple we annoyed into leaving half way through, and we just took the piss, it is very hard to take him seriously when you’re not in that mindset

[@Roneish1996]

Kelsey just fyi there is a lot of people that would argue Bruce Wayne in the comics has high key bi energy and I agree with them.
