Now, let's get deeper. The movie is really, really great (I mean, with a main actor like Jude Law, it has promises). It talks about Nazis in the US in the 80s. DUDE HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING ???

Ok I'm not gonna spoil, but the first time we saw a swastika (had to go and see how it was written), it made me so uncomfortable. Like, really. The movie is from 2024, so before everything that happened early 2025, but. Spot on. Truely.

Scenario wise, really nice (i mean, it is based on real life events, soooooo), the acting is real good (Jude Law, again, but everyone else ! Dude the acting was so good !). The emotions are there when you need them. God I don't even have the words !

Ok, seriously I find this second movie better than the first, but is it because I was crocheting ? We'll never know. But no mecha this time, only some kind of power ranger shit with batphoenix. btw, speaking of batphoenix, can someone explain this ??

WHY IS THERE A MOUTH ON RED HOOD'S HELMET ?!?

Oh, and Bruce's voice changed. I like it better this time tbh. More depth. All characters have. Except... Damian. Still a no for me.

Like the animation a bit better, it wasn't only CGI this time I think, and a lot of reference to the style of anime in the 80s/90s. That was nice.

And we got this :

Best Red Hood suit in my opinion. Love when they do it this way (we have both ways in the movie, just prefer that one).

Not a lot to complain this time, as I said, I find the movie better, except the villain is predictable (like come on ? Calling Batman "detective" ? There's only one person to do so !) but the story is coherent, and well done. So yeah, definitely go see that one. I feel like you don't really need the first one, they explain what happened a lot, but it can help. So yeah, that's it, no real rent from me.

First of all, what the fuck ???? What is this Feodal Japan ????

Ok, now that this history inacurracy is out, let me focus on the rest.

Why do they all sound so bland, except Joker and Harley Quinn (who laugh all the time, they should not me counted). Like ? Wtf ??? Batman voice has no depth, Red Robin is -in my opinion- to high, wtf is going on with Robin voice ??? The only ones that fit -still in my opinion, this all post is my opinion, but read 'till the end- are, as I said Joker, Harley Quinn, Nightwing and Red Hood. The rest ? Bland.

Next on the list : what did they do to Damian ?????? WHY IS HE LAUGHING LIKE THIS ??? WHERE DID THEY PUT HIM ?? He is the son of Batman -Bruce Wayne ! The dude who has so many issues with emotions !-, the grandson of Ra's Al Ghul -The Demon's Head, leader of the LoA !!-. Why. Is. He. Laughing. Like. An. Idiot. Everytime. We. See. Him ?? Like, ok, they put the fact that he likes animals, that fine, but the rest ? Sorry, but that's not Damian. We have a new Robin, and his identity is a true mistery to me.

Anyway : Mechas ??? REALLY ??? Yeah, JAPAN, we got it. -honnestly, it was kinda fun, but.... yeah, not for a Batman movie for me....

I have to think now, so it's becoming lesser problems. Maybe unpopular opinion, but the animation style isn't really my cup of tea... But I'm very picky about that so yeah...

Oh yeah ! Poison Ivy. In nearly all recent comics -that I read !-, she isn't really a villain. Yeah, she's no hero either. But a super villain who associates with Joker ? Yeah, not really. They could've taken Scarecrow though.

I think that's about all for the rent, Imma give my full opinion on the movie. It was honnestly pretty good, not rewatch material, but pretty good. Probably because I was really tired, but I enjoyed it. The moment with the monkey army ? put down my glasses and laughed. It's pretty fun, has a good message -Batman is so much more than his gadget and his technology damn it !-, so if you're a Batman fan ? Maybe give it a go. We have nearly the whole Batfamily, a thing you don't really find elsewhere (dcamu, my beloved, why do you not have Tim, Jason, Steph, Cass, Duke, AND IM FORGETTING SO MANY MORE !)

I'm going to put what he said -cause I found it-, and put the translation for the non-french speakers : "C’est notre sécurité qui est menacée. Si un pays peut envahir un autre en Europe, c’est la paix qui est menacée" -It is our security that is threatened. If one country can invade another in Europe, peace is threatened- Yay, national security, how nice ! You're going to cost us. Even if he says that it wont, it will.

"La menace russe est là, et touche les pays d’Europe. La Russie a fait du conflit ukrainien un conflit mondial" -The Russian threat is there, and affects the countries of Europe. Russia has made the Ukrainian conflict a global conflict- New world war ? Welp, I'm studying history. Never really intended to live what I'm studying...

"Qui peut croire que la Russie d’aujourd’hui s’arrêtera à l’Ukraine ?" -Who can believe that today's Russia will stop at Ukraine?- They won't. Unfortunately, in my opinion, unless Putin dies -and even then, nothing is sure-, they will continue. They will be world war soon.

"Nous restons attachés à l'Otan, et à notre partenariat avec les États-Unis. Mais l'avenir de l'Europe n'a pas à être tranché à Washington et à Moscou." -We remain committed to NATO, and to our partnership with the United States. But the future of Europe does not have to be decided in Washington and Moscow.- This is probably the thing I agree the most : peace shall not be made outside Europe. It is not a matter from the US to decide who's right and who's wrong. It is not to the US to decide who wins or not. But, arms race is not the answer either. Unfortunately, it seems we do no longer have a choice.

And you know what's even more terrifying ? My brother. He listen, arrived arround half the speech, and then tried to tell us that it was not so bad. That the world wasn't changing a super speed. That, no, our president wasn't trying, in subtext, to invite more people to join the army. He does not believe war can start that fast -we told him he could'nt wait 'till he finished his masters degree at the speed the world is moving, he doesn't want to believe us.

the frienship between Hal and Barry... god I love them (yeah, my favorites heroes are the original Flash and Green Lantern, could you tell ?? (Sorry for one of my friend, Nightwing is way further away :) )) And obviously : GL and the Flashes. I love them all (yeah, I love mostly Hal, Barry and Wally, but all of them T-T)
