Giving the middle finger to Joel Shumacher
"I told you I'd shoot! But ya didn't believe me! Whyyyy didn't you believe me?!"
Oh boy, Mask of the Phantasm. When I was a kid that movie was and still is amazing. I mean when Bruce had to make the choice between being Batman or spend the rest of his life with his true love, it just broke my heart. You also have to give it up for the Joker, even when he’s screwed, he just has to laugh at the situation. That always creeped me out and made me smile, you can’t just beat him and he’s finished. I think I watched it the same as Ben, except from movie gallery, I believe it eventually came on Toonami as well but I’m not sure. So I’m really curious, I’m sure you guys saw Batman: Under the Red Hood. How did you feel about it?
