oh my god battinson is so emo hes soooooo so emo literally after the mayor's death when he's hunchback, leaned over the desk, bloodshot eyes, raccoon makeup still on, going over last night's footage and he hears the news coverage mention thomas wayne's murder he turns a volume dial down and nirvana's something in the way goes from lightly playing in the background to silent and you realize that what you thought was the film score was actually music playing in universe
Hang on I am fully, fully 100% with everyone on being excited for all the non-Joker villain stories the Reevesverse has the opportunity to explore, BUT how fucking giant big-brained of a soundtrack easter egg would it be if they made some allusion to how Nirvana's "Come As You Are" almost got in legal trouble for ripping off "Eighties" by Killing Joke?
Currently debating whether or not the Batkids would bully Bruce for his Nirvana obsession.
I like to imagine a few of them would secretly also share a love for Nirvana. But the joke's been going on so long that no one wants to be the first to admit they're a fan to Bruce's face.
I'm pretty sure battinson would talk to clark about Nirvana.
And it is that Bruce waited for so long to find someone to talk to about his tastes.
Then we'd have Bruce talk for hours about his favorite Nirvana album, show Clark his record collection, and also tell his new friend why Kurt Cobain is one of his biggest idols.
And clark would just listen very carefully to bruce because he loves how bruce gets emotional when he talks about his tastes.
Clark isn't that big of a rock fan but he would listen to nirvana just because bruce likes it.
And lastly, Bruce would give Clark a t-shirt with the band's logo on it and even though it's several sizes smaller than the shirts clark wears, Clark would be happy for the gift.
While I love the idea of Battinson getting Dick Grayson and being an awkward father with an overly polite son. I'm even MORE in love with the idea of Battinson getting Carrie Kelly and having her bully him into becoming a functional adult.
