Mailbag Friday: VIP Takes on Buck on The Batman

BUCK: I just want to say, we had… (laughing) I still love this, by the way. Clay got a remarkable amount of heat, apparently, for my take on The Batman movie, which I love. It’s great. Oh, man it’s like I’m the guy who’s picking a fight in the bar and then I go into the restroom for a second, and, all of a sudden Clay like, “What’s going on? Why am I in a fistfight with five people?”

But, anyway, it’s pretty funny. We had a laugh about it. But some of you had different takes. I thought this was pretty funny. Scott, one of our VIPs wrote in, “The Batman is not a horrible movie. I thought it was too long.” Scott, it was definitely too long! Anyway… “But parts were very cool and entertaining. The Batman is way better than Wonder Woman 1984.”

I didn’t see that so I can’t speak to it. “Justice League.” True. “Suicide Squad.” True. “And Birds of Prey, which were actually horrible movies.” Yes, Scott, I agree, those were all horrible movies. “The Batman may not be The Dark Knight,” no, it is not, “or Batman from 1989,” the one with Michael Keaton, “but it certainly is not a dumpster fire of a movie.”

I agree with a lot here, Scott.
