They’ll probably throw it in The Joker as well via flash forward just for good measure.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched it so I can’t remember, but do we actually see the death scene in Batman Forever? I’m pretty sure all we see is Bruce flashing back to the night it happened and we an image of Jack Napier (not actually played by Nicholson) briefly, and then we see the night of the wake for the Wayne’s followed by Bruce discovering the cave.

Live action I’m fairly certain it’s only been in Batman, Batman Begins, and Batman V Superman. If we’re counting tv I suppose Gotham too. It felt out of place and unnecessary most in Batman V Superman in my opinion. Burton was the first time we got a Batman film that had a darker tone so it worked having it, and Nolan’s first film was an origin so it made sense to include it.

I agree it’s been done a lot though. It’s also been done in various animated forms as well as one of the Arkham games.

Edit: guess I was wrong about Batman Forever, there is a flashback to the death of the Wayne's.

Just for the sake of random curiosity, did the old Adam West show ever show his parent’s deaths? I’m guessing not... probably wouldn’t have fit the campy tone of the show.

I haven’t seen all the episodes, but I’m pretty positive it didn’t. I think there may have been a line about it once is all.

Edit: looked it up. It’s never shown but like I said it is mentioned. It’s a line in the first episode where Bruce acknowledges the dastardly (you can tell it’s the 66 show when he uses a word like that) criminals who murdered his parents.

Here's a small BATMAN update for you: hearing the script is still being polished up and that there's a possibility shooting begins at the top of 2020 instead of fall 2019. Which means it'll probably still be a minute before we find out who the next Caped Crusader will be

I actually really like this casting. Pattinson fits the bill pretty well for a younger Bruce in terms of looks. The Twilight films aside he’s actually a decent actor.

I’m good with it.
