Catch more from MatPat and Game Theory on YouTube
If you’re curious here’s that first Game Theory episode he tried to warn you away from. Fun fact: the ACTUAL first video on the channel comes from his stage acting period before he started Game Theory. Maybe he was hiding that, too?
We’re getting some idea as to how Warner Bros Discovery is going to function after Discovery Networks purchase of WarnerMedia from ATT after they had it for the time it takes to make a hamburger. The only thing I know for certain is that DC Entertainment is being set up more like Marvel Studios, as their own entity within the larger company…and even that I could be wrong on. I remember when WarnerMedia was first formed the idea of everything under one function rather than the various groups doing their own thing like they did under AOL Time Warner was a point of contention for some of the acquired brands. So putting the various AOL Time WarnerMedia groups into their own…sub-units I guess will allow each group to retain what makes them unique and help the parent company overall. We saw earlier today that EA has failed to realize that and killed popular video game publishers and titles because of it.
This is kind of all I know however. There are some serious questions I have that aren’t being addressed because the entertainment news sources are part of the media snobbery and aren’t even thinking about it. I on the other hand have questioned I’d like to see addressed and it’s rather important to know going forward.
Yeah, we know he’s going to shoot it anyway.

Frankly these two videos in my filler/quickpost list should go together. First, the full story from Company Man.

Then there’s this story from Gury Larry. Some swearing does take place, plus whatever’s in the video game footage he chooses.

They really dropped the ball hard, didn’t they?
It’s been the running line on the internet for quite a long time now, that Bruce Wayne died the same night as his parents, that the boy who would be Bruce had no name until as an adult a bat flew into his study and inspired a new name…Batman! Bruce Wayne is just a disguise, a mask Batman wears to fund his war on crime. There is no true Bruce Wayne. Even the DCAU made this clear.
I’ve heard this theory for so long that not only is it treated as fact by comic fans and Bat-Fans specifically but even I thought it was true, that Batman is the real persona and Bruce the fake. And yet something was nagging me about this theory that I wasn’t connecting with until last year when I came across that WhatCulture Comics video I posted last week about 10 Stupid Arguments About Batman That Don’t Make Sense. Finally my doubts had been given voice and I started rethinking that position. Later last week I was listening to the Literature Devil‘s morning podcast that he doesn’t keep archived and he and his guests were making the same claim there. Not wanting to respond to the podcast on YouTube’s limited text limit…especially since I was using an unconnected cellphone I use as a “mini-tablet” by my bed and typing on a virtual keyboard that covers half a chocolate bar in size is a royal pain…I thought I’d use the power of my site to go over why I don’t really buy this notion that Bruce Wayne is the mask, even if that is the name of his alternate mask. Bruce Wayne the persona is in a way a mask maybe, but if that’s the case then so is Batman.
