[@comicpop]

@@comicsmisexplained What Green Hornet movie? 😉

[@dylansmith5206]

@@comicpopI'm also going to assume that The Last Airbender Film never happened in that universe. And that the 9-11 Terrorist Attacks plus the Covid Pandemic never happened in that universe. Plus infamous KZbinrs like Dark Side Phil/DSP, Jake/Logan Paul, and Jaystation never rose to fame. I wish I could go to that universe (I might have had a more successful life in that world)! BTW! You guys might want to return to that world soon. Since in that Universe. They made a 4th Tim Burton Batman film where we actually got to see Scarecrow and Harley Quinn on screen (No joke, DC is making another Batman 89 comic called Batman 89: Echoes where Micheal Keaton's Batman will go up against Scarecrow and Harley Quinn)!

This actually makes Dent two-faced before his villainous turn, instead of a throwaway line without buildup like in Dark Knight.

I like how this year they have been adding some lore and stories to their back issues episode. I hope they keep making episodes like these. 😂

I really appreciate the effort of the multiverse skit that was great. Ethan with a mustache is awesome

MARVEL need to do similar with Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4. Have Alex Ross Illustrate. And find writers that have done the trilogy.

I don't know why, but I feel like this is the best episode of Back Issues this year. If not ever. It resonates with me somehow. And please, Sal. Share with the class. Don't be shy. What was that thing from yesterday that made you laugh that wasn't Ethan's mustache? Personally, I think he looks dope.

Who can forget Harvey's classic speech when he assumes emergency powers as acting mayor. Two-Face: The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger. I love democracy. I love Gotham.

[@sollyswolly1623]

[@jayrett]

Overall this story is a lot of fun, but it feels like a first draft of a film script, and hell maybe it was. The name Robin is explained 3 different ways, Batman feels like a side character, and whether Dent's motivation comes from what could have been if different choices were made or if he thinks he's *actually* seeing the multiverse is never truly explained. I'm inclined to assume the former, but the story was still a lot of fun.

[@dn22pkkdd476]

It felt like it was being set up to be an ongoing rather than a mini-series. Because Hamm was continually laying groundwork for a full series that he really wanted to get into. It also felt like there was too little to no editorial to help focus all the ideas that Hamm and Quinones wanted to do into one streamlined miniseries plot. With all that being said, I had a blast reading this and hope they get a sequel.

[@obscureentertainment8303]

To be fair, Batman was a side character in the two Burton movies too.

[@TheJuiceisLoose7]

​@@obscureentertainment8303To be fair, no he was'nt idiot. He's a side character in the dumb Nolan movies and every other adaptation though

That reality was pretty crazy. Maybe the next alternate reality we can go to is one where Superman 3 and 4 never got made

[@CamWG95]

1:05:27 Sal calls Drake Duke. Somewhere, Scott Snyder smiles and doesn't know why.

[@andrewwestfall65]

This actually does remind me of The Batman movie just recently. There's a crazed villain hunting down legitimate business owners that are laundering money through gangs in town, civil unrest is welling within the town in part because of the laundering. The movie just started with the villain and interesting bits instead of following around a random guy that would become the villain

[@SubwoofBarks]

I don't think that Catwoman costume is worse than the earth one costume . Nonetheless, they should've kept the costume from Returns.

[@kwayneboy1524]

I think that costume was destroyed

[@Synthezoid]

Pat Hingle (Gordon) is from my hometown in Texas! Always funny to see Gordon in those movies and think about that

[@edwin831]

At 45:12 I actually think those Batmen (the three which are mostly visible, from left to right) are Bale, Conroy (it’s in the jaw and cheek bones, that’s where I see it) and Kilmer

Yeah we definitely need more of these type of back issues not to say what’s come before wasn’t great, this episode was just firing on all cylinders for sure !!

[@jonfedien8637]

The film that got me into comics combines with the best show on KZbin, if this is a fever dream I never want to wake up!

[@BoulderPunchPodcast1]

I really love the ideas in the Two-Face stuff but it is definitely way too slow for this story because it’s however many pages of set up and then suddenly we finally get a proper villain

[@kwayneboy1524]

I feel if this was a movie the slower scenes leading up to Two-Face could be replaced or added with Batman looking into the son's of Batman group after they caused Harvey's accident. Through this we get a similar type of question that Batman Forever asks does Bruce being Batman help Gotham or just escalates situations?

I have just found out that there is going to be another alternative sequel to Batman, 1989, called "Batman Resurrection." It's actually a novel that serves as an interquel, set between the first film and "Batman Returns.' Here is a synopsis of the novel if you're interested: "The Joker is dead, but not forgotten. Gotham City is saved, but it is still not safe. By night, its new symbol of hope, Batman, continues his fight to protect the innocent and the powerless. By day, his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, wonders whether there may someday be a future beyond skulking the city’s rooftops or the cavernous halls of his stately manor alongside the ever-dutiful Alfred Pennyworth. But even after death, the Clown Prince of Crime’s imprint can be seen in more than just the pavement. Remnants from The Joker’s gang are leading wannabes fascinated by his bizarre mystique on a campaign of arson that threatens the city-even as it serves greedy opportunists, including millionaire Max Shreck. And survivors of exposure to The Joker’s chemical weapon Smylex continue to crowd Gotham City’s main hospital. To quell the chaos, Batman needs more than his cape and his well-stocked Utility Belt. Bruce Wayne is forced into action, prompting a partnership with a charismatic scientist to help solve the health crisis. But as he works in both the shadows and the light, Bruce finds himself drawn deeper into Gotham City’s turmoil than ever before, fueling his obsession to save the city-an obsession that has already driven a wedge between him and Vicki Vale. The loyal Alfred, who had hoped Bruce’s efforts as Batman could help him find closure, finds the opposite happening. Nightmares begin to prompt Bruce to ask new questions about the climactic events in the cathedral, and investigations by Commissioner Gordon and reporter Alexander Knox into the arsons only amplify his concerns. Having told the people of Gotham City that they’d earned a rest from crime, Batman finds the forces of evil growing ever more organized-and orchestrated-by a sinister hand behind the scenes. The World’s Greatest Detective must solve the greatest mystery of all: Could The Joker have somehow survived? And could he still have the last laugh against the people of Gotham City?"

I think Barbara is supposed to be “played” by Sean Young who was cast as Vikki Vale in the first film (and had to drop out due to pregnancy) and the infamously lobbied Burton and the producers to play Catwoman in the second film (clearly to no effect.) Nice to see she finally got the part!
