You just want to be the villain of the next movie. You and your army of hamster suited minions driving Kia Souls.

I’d say forget about making live-action movies and make stylish, gorgeous animated films geared toward grown-ups, i.e. Bruce Timm, uncensored.

No, the Adam West movie from the 1960’s was the ultimate Batman movie. It’s been downhill ever since.
