You did it Big Cat. The strike worked! RIP.

[@buddhull]

Not all heroes are physical entities any longer.

[@realBiGO]

Fez never got to see it 😢

[@greggernetzke9014]

I am convinced that this boycott led to the 2022 Matt reeves batman movie and no one can change my mind

[@DiscoDog]

Riddle me this, Whatley...

[@godshand6822]

The biggest tragedy from covid is Fez missing the riddler in a movie

[@tmclaf]

Literally the first thing I thought of when I saw the Riddler was gonna be in the new one. I was genuinely sad Fez wouldn't get to see it

[@brianhacker5353]

Love me some Fez 🤠

[@fabreezethefaintinggoat5484]

he saw his team win the SuperBowl..a way bigger victory in my book

[@yarghhargh9345]

Yes, he didn't get to CONSUME MEDIA before he died

[@chrisaltobelli]

@@fabreezethefaintinggoat5484 for a comic fan like Fez, this probably would have been bigger for him. It's a damn shame we didn't get to hear his opinion on the new movie. I was actually happy with it since they brought Batman back to doing detective work.

[@luisgmoreno]

Fez never got to see The Riddler in the new 2022 movie 😭

[@friedporchetta]

Poor Fezzy never lived to see his riddler Batman movie

[@MrHandzzz]

So I heard the new Batman movie has Riddle as the villian.....hopefully there's movies in heaven Fez. RIP

[@justing7490]

It actually bummed me out a little when I thought about him missing one with Riddler as the main villain. Even though the movie sucked

[@youtubebannedme4207]

heaven? fez was a gay they're not allowed in heaven. heaven what silly childish nonsense

[@richarddobson5035]

I love that people think that heaven is subject to their whims. The Bible is very clear. Gay people don't go to heaven. So, either you are inventing your own new religion, that uses the same term for eternal paradise, or you don't use your brain well. There is no heaven, and if you believe in it, it's idiotic to think the Bible lies about who makes it in.

[@pengyzin8668]

​@@richarddobson5035 idk wtf you're talking about but if there's a heaven Fez is watching The Riddler movie.

[@richarddobson5035]

@pengyzin You, too, are making up your own definition of heaven. Fez was not only gay but wasn't religious. So, in your opinion, the rules of the religion that supposes heaven exists don't matter. You both believe in Christian heaven and believe that you make the rules as to who can get in. Also, there is no heaven. It's time to grow up and let go of Santa and the Easter bunny, too.

[@aromardu]

Ron: Well, congratulations! You got yourself re-hired! Now what's the next step in your master plan? Fez: Crashing this show... WITH NO SURVIVORS!

​@@jimmyrustler8983if I pull that off, will you die? *It will be extremely painful* You're a big guy. *for you*

[@xPvtMurphyx]

The funniest part is that for all his obsession with the Riddler, Fez didn't like riddles at all! Oh Fez. Rest in Peace, man.

[@anonymouss4635]

"That Riddler. Damn him. Damn you Riddler."

[@mikeg4691]

The Riddler didn't even have powers. In fact, most of the villains didn't.

[@brianhacker5353]

Fez went out after seeing His Beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning the Super Bowl in person . But after hearing this it makes me wonder what he'd have preferred more... Buc's Super Bowl or Batman movie with Riddler front & center .? Your Thoughts ?

[@Half_Astronaut]

Something tells me Fez would have found a way not to like it. RIP Big Cat

[@KCCC326]

He'd prefer whichever one didn't happen

[@brianhacker5353]

@@KCCC326 truer words have never been spoken 👍🏻

[@JoshyJosh610]

I was impressed Fez got a website to write about his boycott, until I remembered the author was Intern Gabe's brother.

[@Fudgaboutit]

That's... how top level managment works. It would be even more pathetic if Fez actually wrote it himself lol

[@iorn9814]

He loves the riddler but hates riddles 😂😂😂

[@bossabassa364]

I would rather watch a fez movie over a riddiler movie

[@JT-rb2cj]

The Fez was the ultimate Batman villain

[@gervsmerchpilk]

It makes me sad to think fez didn't get to see the new batman, he'd have loved it, rip big cat

[@hootisfowl9301]

I find it really sad that a riddler movie came out after fez died.

[@lucymoody4927]

[@danielwhite1233]

“I can’t see him using a more interesting character than the riddler” then Nolan used Bane and blew the joker out of the water.

[@alcoonslambag9999]

Bane is not better than the joker.

[@brandendierker5873]

😭 Bane was so fucking dumb. The lady who was actually the villian was 10x more interesting and dangerou

[@danielwhite1233]

@@brandendierker5873 Because she banged him and then tricked him?

[@Tsadi9Mem9Khet9]

Heath Ledger didn't play The Joker. The whole point of the Joker character is that he's a psychopath who, ironically, laughs and jokes and dresses like an idiot while killing people.

[@fabreezethefaintinggoat5484]

so the joker,the only non gay character in that shitbocx

[@Tsadi9Mem9Khet9]

"...I just asked for one little thing; The Riddler." Yeah, "one little thing"; to stake the success of a movie with a quarter billion dollar budget on a fucking character they replaced with a generic on the TV series when the actor held out for more money. The Riddler doesn't even make sense in the real world. How would he ever manage to set up all his massive schemes in a city with such an active and prevalent police force?

[@lawcane]

This didn't age well

[@backforblood3421]

@@lawcane Yeah, because "The Riddler" in the 2022 movie is CERTAINLY the same character, with the same massively involved set ups as in things like Arkham Knight, etc. ...

[@lawcane]

@@backforblood3421 it was a character called The Riddler. And like Ron predicted they modernized him. And you're here crying.

[@lawcane]

@@spookypizza4371 it was neocon jerkoff material

[@backforblood3421]

@@lawcane Crying? It's not "modernizing". It's catering to s hit bags who want everything to be blatant and stu pid. The Jack Nicholson Joker was creepier than the Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix ones by a long shot because he was doing all costume stuff and killing people while doing it, psychopathically laughing and joking while murdering people. Those who prefer the "edgy", "true to life" versions of the characters are fu cking mo rons.

[@JackLongbridge]

The Dark Knight Rises was a piece of shit. And Batman Begins was mediocre. The Dark Knight was good because of Ledger's performance. Bale was an awful Bruce Wayne & a third rate Batman. And yes Nolan was embarrassed of the source material, but then so are Warner Bros themselves. They Dilute all of their properties to the point of blandness - See Man Of Steel, and take a look at the New Wonder Woman. That's why the Marvel cinematic Universe is so good, they know it's camp and outrageous but they go for it balls deep. The best Batman/Bruce Wayne of all time was Michael Keaton and the first two Burton batman films remain the best. Nolan's Batman was awful in retrospect and later when these movies are reassessed by future generations Ledgers performance aside they will look like a dull turgid humorless misstep in the Batman mythos.

[@DiscoDog]

+Bryan Braddock - Nicely put. The construct works so much better in Burton's world.

[@saml7843]

You're a big guy

[@grcj1480]

+Bryan Braddock lol "turgid"

[@silversnail1413]

I agree with your points about the The Dark Knight Rises and Warner Bros. but the MCU sucks just as much. This new superhero era has yielded maybe two or three watchable movies and a whole bunch of crap. I can't wait until it's all over and people start making grownup movies again.

[@josephblowenstein3497]

wouldve been way better with the riddler!
