Batman: The Official Movie Adaptation

Linkara: Hello and welcome to Atop The Fourth Wall where Bad Comics burn. Last year, I took a look at the comic adaptation of the abysmal movie Batman and Robin. You might remember it because I KILLED THE BAT CREDIT CARD JOKE!!

(Clips from that scene from Batman and Robin play)Linkara (v/o): And yeah, I've read your critiques of it. "But he still have to sign up for bad credit card and reveal his true identity. It's so traceable."

Linkara: No, no, he wouldn't. One, Batman has a number of false identities. Dude's a genius and he could easily cover his tracks. You think credit card fraud is beyond him? Two, as I said in that episode, shell companies: corporate credit cards are a thing. You could just have it be Batman Incorporated or something and it would still work. Coincidentally, there is a comic called Batman Incorporated.

Linkara (v/o): One of the things I mentioned in that review is that I feel that in a weird way the four Batman movies from 1989 to 1997 do have a character arc for Bruce Wayne throughout them. This may seem a bit at odds with the fact that the two Joel Schumacher films are so totally different from the Tim Burton movies, but hey, the fact that we have recurring elements and actors throughout all four shows there is a connection between them. And, of course, the best way to talk about this character arc is to talk about the movies.

Linkara: So let's dig into Batman: The Official Movie Adaptation--

NC: (offscreen) Hey!

(Camera pans to NC standing and glaring at Linkara's left)

Linkara: Nostalgia Critic? What the hell are you doing here? How did you even get in here?

NC: I have my ways.

(Cut to a flashback: Critic breaks in Linkara's house and passes Viga, who's casually reading a My Little Pony comic)

NC: I'm going to go bug your roommate.

Viga: It's okay. You're the third one this week. At least you're not from space.

(Cut back)

NC: You've made me stand in a corner for months after you broke the back credit card joke.

Linkara: Oh please, it's not like you were going to use that time for anything worthwhile.

NC: I could have been doing more reviews.

Linkara: Oh yeah, I'm sure everyone was begging you for a clipless review of Captain America Civil War. Tell me, do you remember when you used to be nostalgic?

NC: I'm sorry we can't all have your integrity Mr. Bad Comic Reviewer. What did you cover these last two weeks? An anime and a puppy movie?

Linkara: What the hell are you doing here?

NC: Do you know how many crossovers we've done? Superman 4, Alone in the Dark, Star Trek: Insurrection, BloodRayne.

Linkara: Oh, by the way, lots of people have been asking us to review another Uwe Boll movie.

NC: Shut up! The point is you keep getting in my way interrupting my show to do these crossovers. (NC pushes Linkara aside to sit on the futon) So now I'm going to interrupt your review to do a crossover for a change.

Linkara: Why the hell would I agree to do that?

NC: Two words: Ad revenue.

(Linkara tries to argue back but thinks about it as if NC had a good point)

Linkara: So, let's dig into Batman: The Official Movie Adaptation and see how it compares to the film.

NC: It won't be as good.

Linkara: Shut up.
