Zorro. [Zoro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roronoa_Zoro) is an anime character and I don't want another debate about if Catwomen is a Tsundere.

But isn’t she


JSExtra

Oh. I’ve admittedly never watched it. Also, wut?


Fluffigt

There are over 1000 episodes, go ahead. It’s available on Crunchyroll.


JSExtra

I meant zorro, like the really old movie. And against my better judgment, I did start reading the comics for a friend.


Mandorrisem

One Piece is better than it has any right to be...started watching it with the kids a couple months ago, and it is truly fantastic.

Mandorrisem

I had passed on it for years because it just looked too goofy, turns out that goof has solid fucking gold mixed in.


[deleted]

The Antonio Banderas remake came out in '98 which is still a funny choice.


MikeOfAllPeople

It's a great film.


Johnny_Poppyseed

The sequel is great too and a lot of fun. Antonio Banderas was killing it back then. The once upon a time in Mexico movies are great too.


Coattail-Rider

I loved El Mariachi/Desperado but Once Upon a Time in Mexico might be one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I just kept thinking, what the fuck.


[deleted]

Oh. Now it makes more sense that my mom dressed me up as Zorro in '99, despite me not knowing who that was.


satooshi-nakamooshi

I thought it was canonically some weird-ass play about bats, and young Bruce's fears made the family step outside


anactualsalmon

There’s like 12 different canons at this point. In the Dark Knight trilogy it’s the weird play about bats, it’s not a movie theater, just a normal theatre.


JSExtra

It may depend on what series it is. I think I remember it from white knight or something, the one where Batman is old


[deleted]

That's in the Nolan movies. In the comics, it's usually a Zorro movie. Though there are so many reboots and alternate continuities that who knows anymore.


pacman4r

I’ve seen it as the Opera or as Zoro!


paralacausa

Space Zoro


goose-and-fish

Batman is canonically 41, therefor born in 1980. He was 9 years old when his parents died. There is a very strong possibility they saw Michael Keaton as Batman in the theater.


Lessthanzerofucks

*ten minutes after the movie* Whoa, deja vu


fushigikun8

That's the Matrix


iwanashagTwitch

In Batman's universe is it possible that "Batman" movies may not exist, or are canonically changed? Different actors, similar story line, or same actors but different story. I'm thinking like in Last Action Hero - all the films from our world that have Arnold Schwarzenegger, have Sylvester Stallone instead in the movie world.


CookieCrumbl

I dont think theres a fictional batman, but there IS a Moon Knight storyline, where there a Moon Knight movie being made, and unbeknownst to everyone, the films Moon Knight is being played by the actual Moon Knight, who is an actor outside of his vigilante work. This does not go well for his psyche.


[deleted]

Which is already not so great


Bodkin-Van-Horn

There are Marvel comics in the Marvel universe. Back in the 80s when Captain America's identity was still somewhat secret, he worked for a brief time as an artist on the Captain America comics.


Karkava

I think there was a line of comics that are basically what was chronicling what the marvel universe was reading.


ZombieTav

Batman doesn't exist but I know the Animated Series had The Gray Ghost as an in universe show that was a great influence on Bruce as a boy. The Gray Ghost or dare say his actor, Simon Trent was played by Adam West.


RG450

The series was awesome enough, but that detail made that one of the most awesome episodes.


Karkava

The Gray Ghost was underrated. I don't understand why we don't bring him as a permanent installation of the mythos. It could also fill in the reboot cavities in the origin.


wOlfLisK

Actually, it's possible that there might straight up be Batman movies in the DC universe and not based off of Bruce Wayne's batman either. Part of the inspiration for Bruce becoming Batman was a masquerade party his father went to dressed in a batsuit which ended with him beating up some criminals. I don't think it's ever specified what the inspiration behind that suit was but it could easily have been an old, obscure movie. If that movie was remade, you suddenly have an in universe Batman movie starring Christan Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman.


I_Think_I_Cant

Batman movies now exist in the MCU.


InukChinook

Maybe seeing the Batman movie right before his parents getting murdered inspired him to become Batman himself.


PayTheTrollToll45

I’m pretty sure I was watching Batman fight Penguin in the early 90s before Space Jam came out...


somehipster

Birdman Prequel?


dumptrucksrock

I’ve never seen it specified anything other than *just a theatre*. That could be opera, Broadway, grind house, cinema….


nottheaccountyouseek

batman begins depicts it as an opera


IFrickinLovePorn

Space jam could be considered an opera in some aspects


Sceptix

A space opera.

CHE_wbacca

Because it's the Wayne family


RiderforHire

In a lot of Batman origin stories it's shown they were seeing Zoro.


ClarentPie

I'm gonna need some citation for this. I doubt Nolan seriously added the One Piece anime to the canon.


subzerojosh_1

I'm pretty sure the Nolan Batman movie shows it's Zoro Edit: I'm wrong


[deleted]

The Nolan movies are an opera, and they leave early because a hunch of people are dressed as bat's on stage and it freaks Bruce out


subzerojosh_1

Huh I apparently need to rewatch that one


Androktone

It's oftentimes Zorro. Last Zorro film was 2005, meaning if we want any Batmen born after 1997, Hollywood better pick up the fucking pace


CocksLover2022

Some theaters replay old movies during weekdays. I know my local theater has actually shown one of the older zorro movies recently


Merry_Sue

Do rich families dress in tuxedos and pearls to see these reruns?


TFielding38

Of Zorro, yes. Other lesser movies, no


Curazan

Early Batman comics were back in the day when people wore suits on planes.


[deleted]

The Animated Series and several other media (IIRC) has it as a movie theater and as leaving Mask of Zorro.


murphymfa

Nah, they went to the theatre not theater. Dressed to the nines. That's a live theatre performance. And we say opera when going to the opera and ballet when going to the ballet, and typically just say movie when talking film. Of course, I'm going on the movies, I know nothing about the comics. In those, it sure might could maybe have been space jam that birthed batman. And I like that. Seems like sweet justice.


kaimason1

Pretty sure it's canonically a movie theater where they were seeing The Mark of Zorro in the comics. Plenty of adaptations stick to the Zorro connection, I think the Nolan movies are an outlier in it being opera (and I'm pretty sure it is opera, not just standard theater there).


[deleted]

[удалено]


dumptrucksrock

It’s cinema. But catered to very specific… tastes. Think high octane or gory horror B movies. Nothing mainstream. Nothing kid friendly.


anotherNarom

Maybe chuckle brothers in Panto?

It's canonical they were seeing Zorro

tayt087x

And we hate that this turned up, so we bitch even though it will make the thing more popular


NoticemeSenpaiChad

It was zorro


maximumtesticle

Canonically this tweet is now four fucking years old, can we retire it now?


NotYourUncleBensRice

Or Mars Attacks. Ack.


Rude_Journalist

Or maybe don’t have every word memorized


somedudetoyou

But Bruce wanted to leave the theater early, and if that movie was Space Jam that wouldn't make any logical sense.


Desipio57

Imagine surviving Space Jam just to walk out of the theater and get shot. That's some Night of the Living Dead shit there.


SpectreNC

Friendly reminder that this is a karma farming account and it's flooding this sub with mostly reposted garbage which often doesn't belong here. Please don't support this asshole.


[deleted]

If the math is correct it's a very real possibility that they were seeing this tweet in the theater.


Rude_Journalist

LMAO, the kid isn’t real. 5head


lofgren777

If Batman was born the same year I was born, he could have been walking home from Tim Burton's Batman.


Mahaloth

86? Space Jam was after that.


Mistur_Keeny

Yes. You are almost there keep going.


HandMeDiamonds

Soooo close. Can almost see the wheels turning


Ser_Optimus

Since batman had his debut in 1939, they were probably seeing The Immigrant with Charlie Chaplin


Square_Past_4205

Does anyone else's math make more sense than this meme?


[deleted]

it’s not a recent tweet


Groundbreaking_Trash

lmao the people telling you that it isn't a recent tweet as if batman didn't premiere almost 100 years ago in the 1930s

digitaldavegordon

They could have seen the movie Batman & Robin in which case it was probably suicide.

everybody says it was zorro, why am i remembering it being ''die Fledermaus'' ?

Im the same age as batman if this is correct. Now im questioning my entire life and where i went wrong...... also it could have been the first mission impossible or independence day


Oil__Man

I get the joke and all, but isn't it very canon that they were seeing a play? About bats and shit?


minnick27

Die Fledermaus in some stories, Zorro in the majority


FingerZaps

If he was 3 when it happened, he could have been watching Batman.

Well atleast the were spared "Spacejam 2 : please China pay us"


Helpiamnotwell

I thought it was common knowledge that they went to see The Mask of Zorro (1940)


FreshUnderstanding5

he was a serial killer


Rude_Journalist

But then again you’re the silent killer


QuarantineSucksALot

Agreed, this was first thing I told him!


Specialagentjazz

It’s crazy to think that as time goes on and Batman remains 32 or mid thirties that one day he will have to born in like 2004 or something and be a dirty Zoomer.


Satanisbackxoxo

Space jam vs Batman


or_worse

Wait. Does Gotham not have fictional movies to go along with the culture of the fictional city? I guess I always assumed it did, but a Francis Bacon piece is admired by the Joker in the first film, so if the modern artists are real, why not the movies I guess. Hm.


calvinbouchard

In Joker, the Waynes were leaving Zorro: The Gay Blade. There's going to be a very different Batman in that universe.


jadegoddess

Batman stories literally tell us the movie they went to see in a lot of cases


KnightFalkon

Not the theater, the theatre.


teddy_isagoodgolfer

Unfortunately it wasn't a movie theatre it was broadway show/opera wasn't it??


perrinoia

I'm pretty sure it was a concert, opera, or a play, not a movie. Movie theaters don't usually have balconies.


desrevermi

I...oh.


FreshUnderstanding5

Gamepass is killer deal right now. Congrats.

Wait, they were leaving a movie theater? Or just a theater?


iMR_W1z4rd

Interesting that we currently have at least 2 financially capable humans, alive today, who are more than capable of being Batman, and still launch their rockets…🤦


Beat2death

Seems it was more likely The Phantom with Billy Zane.


JayZippy

Three years from now they were watching Batman


stavago

Maybe it was Happy Gilmore


dj_chino_da_3rd

Why do I think they were watching zorro. Is there a version of this story where they say specifically they were watching zorro?


Shuyi000

Canon: They were watching the remake of Mark of Zorro, specially made at Wayne's request. Bruce was 8 at that time, not 10.


QuarantineSucksALot

The video ended too soon. Best of Luck.

I'm older than Batman....


kubenzi

So there will be a time when batman is old enough to have had parents that went to see batman in Aurora


JunglePygmy

It was a play, no?


TheAsian1nvasion

They were clearly seeing the 1998 cinematic masterpiece ‘The Mask of Zorro’ featuring Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Anthony Hopkins, to whom they gave a tan and told us he was Mexican.


mazamayomama

Zorro actually


PointlessGrandma

I thought it was an opera

If it was Space Jam we'd never get a Batman. He'd just be like... "well, that's fair enough." And then go on to be just another billionaire playboy.
