New The Batman Clip Shows An Emotional And Explosive Funeral

Okay, folks, let's talk about that new The Batman clip. You know, the one with the super-emotional, super-explosive funeral? Honestly, my first thought was, "Wow, even Gotham funerals are extra."
Seriously, who schedules a funeral expecting a car chase? It's like, "RSVP, and please indicate if you'll be bringing a Batmobile."
Emotional Explosions: A Gotham Specialty
We see Bruce Wayne looking all broody, which, let's be real, is his default setting. Robert Pattinson nails the angsty billionaire vibe, doesn't he?
Must Read
But here's my possibly unpopular opinion: I kind of love the drama. I mean, it's Gotham! Did we really expect a quiet service with polite hymns? Absolutely not.
Think about it: wouldn't it be incredibly boring if it wasn't explosive? I need more from my funeral. It is a celebration of one's life after all.
Alfred's Face: Priceless
And let's not forget Alfred. You just know he's thinking, "Master Bruce, please try not to get any more soot on your suit. The dry cleaning bill is already astronomical."

Poor Alfred. He's probably got a hidden stash of chamomile tea and stress balls somewhere in the Batcave. Gotta manage that Wayne family drama, right?
He's been dealing with emotional rollercoaster since Bruce was a child. Now, he has to be Batman's therapist. That's a lot of work.
Riddler's Funeral Prank: Too Soon?
Then there's The Riddler's involvement. Is it just me, or is he the ultimate party crasher? "Sorry for your loss... here's a riddle!"

Okay, I get it, he's a supervillain. But even villains should have some basic funeral etiquette, right? Maybe just a card saying, "Thinking of you... and planning your demise!"
On a more serious note, what's with the letter for Batman? Does The Riddler want to be his friend? Enemy? Pen pal? The suspense is killing me!
My Unpopular Opinion: Funerals Need More Action
Okay, brace yourselves. Here comes another unpopular opinion. Maybe all funerals need a little bit of a shake-up. Not necessarily car chases. But a little something?
I mean, think about it. Everyone just stands around looking sad. Maybe a choreographed dance number? A surprise clown? Or just release the doves?

Of course, family member's would be angry and upset. But I think the deceased would have liked to be remembered differently.
The Bat-Signal: Funeral Edition
And what about the Bat-Signal during a funeral? Talk about a mood killer! It's like, "Sorry for your grief, Gotham, but there's a crime happening! Pull yourselves together!"
Seriously, can't crime take a break for, like, an hour? Give everyone a chance to mourn in peace, please!

Though, I guess that's Gotham for you. Never a dull moment, even at the most somber of occasions. That's why we love it.
Bring on More Gotham Chaos
Ultimately, that new The Batman clip just confirms what we already knew: Gotham is a wild ride. A chaotic, emotionally charged, explosively dramatic ride.
And honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Give me the Batmobile chases, the brooding billionaires, and the villainous funeral crashers. All day, every day.
So, bring on the chaos! And maybe, just maybe, let's rethink funeral etiquette. Gotham style.
