Batman: Arkham City

Question: When does Catwoman show up at the Monarch Theater? She's there when Batman brings out Joker's body, yet she mentions he'll be busy with the Joker for a while after this. So when does she get there?

Batman: Arkham Knight

Continuity mistake: Mr Freeze's ship just appears out of the clear blue rather than having been anchored all night when you can play "In from the Cold."

Question: Why not just have Mini-Me transferred to where Dr Evil's being held?

Rob245

Answer: Time passes quickly. It doesn't show every minute of every day. When he was executed, several months, maybe a couple of years, had gone by. They wanted to show him finally deducing that Clark Kent was Superman.

Answer: They don't. Movies and especially television shows often depict the legal and judicial systems in the United States as moving very quickly, despite the fact that, in reality, the wheels of justice turn very slowly.

Heart Eyes (2025)

Stupidity: If the ring bearing the initials "JS" is a clue, then it's strange that Det Jeanine Shaw isn't suspected of being involved with the murders.

Cursed (2005)

Question: When did a shot to the head ever kill a werewolf? I always thought in their lore only silver bullets could do it.

Rob245

Answer: Different pieces of media have different rules and lore. Media isn't required to stick by classic rules, and this movie in particular toys with the classic rules a bit. For example, earlier in the film, Jimmy mentions that one of the ways to kill a werewolf is by severing the connection between the heart and brain, which would normally mean decapitation. However, blowing its brains out would also certainly accomplish that. Another example is the excellent werewolf movie "Ginger Snaps", in which pretty much anything can kill a werewolf as long as it inflicts enough damage.

Answer: As with other creatures of lore, there are different versions in different stories. I read a book in which most werewolves were male. The main character, a woman, was rare for being a woman werewolf. Other werewolf stories are not like that. In this movie, a shot to the head can kill a werewolf.

Question: When Arnold's fighting the crooked Santas, does a snazzy version of Jingle Bells play? I've seen the movie online and wondered if this is how it was done in the theatrical and DVD versions of the movie?

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Question: Did the idea of the symbiote affecting Peter's personality come from the animated series? I don't recall it affecting him in the comics at all.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Question: Mr Freeze wasn't arrested, nor did Batman take him in, so how did the police get hold of his gun from Arkham City?

Rob245

Answer: In Batman: Arkham City, Mr. Freeze's gun was taken by the Penguin, which he used in an attempt to stop Batman. After beating the Penguin and the eventual closing of Arkham City, the gun was then sent to the GCPD evidence room.

But Mr Freeze got it back for his fight with Batman, remember?

Question: Given these are the Looney Tunes, why did this movie bomb while its predecessor, Space Jam, did great at the box office?

Rob245

Answer: It's hard to nail down exactly why, but I think it was a combination of a few factors. The biggest of which was that it was released within a week of three other high-profile family films, including the surprise sleeper hit "Elf." It simply had fierce competition. It was also known at the time that the film had a somewhat troubled production, which could have impacted audience perception. I think it's also worth noting that, on the whole, Looney Tunes theatrical films tend not to draw huge box office numbers. "Space Jam" was their only real hit out of four theatrical films. One could argue that the popularity of Michael Jordan in the sporting world is what gave "Space Jam" a leg up over the other Looney Tunes films, as he brought in a wider audience.

Question: Just how did a crate of Titan get in the bay, anyway?

The Flash (2023)

Answer: Some possible reasons gleaned from the Internet: Filmmakers wanted a different vision of Supergirl to reflect a darker, grittier personality and to show her refugee-like experience. Her dark short hair symbolizes her harsher journey from her home world. Also, it gives her a more androgynous look, reflecting both her feminine and masculine traits. Those are all possible reasons, but adopting a radically different look for an established character generates more attention and interest in the film.

Continuity mistake: Both Rocksteady and Bebop's boots get torn up during their mutation, but once they've changed, they're intact once more.

Batman: Arkham City

Stupidity: Given he got what he wanted out of The Mad Hatter, it makes no sense for Prof Strange to send him into Arkham City when he could've made him disappear quietly after using him to get Warden Sharp on Strange's side.

Question: Which is Dreyfus's title? He's called both Chief Inspector and Commissioner, so which is right?

Rob245

Answer: In this particular film, he's referred to solely as "Commissioner" and is then Chief Inspector in every subsequent Pink Panther film in which he appears (up until "Son of the Pink Panther" [1993], Herbert Lom's last appearance in the role, when he is again Commissioner). If you're after a reason, there likely isn't an official one, though perhaps Dreyfus's murder spree and mental breakdown in this film led to his demotion.

Stand By Me (1986)

Question: Why do the boys part ways once they get back to town? Why not just stay friends?

Rob245

Answer: Like most children, they may be compatible as boyhood pals and share similar kid-type interests and activities, but as they mature and integrate with other peers, their varying personalities, intelligence, talents, interests, and other differences in their backgrounds become more pronounced, sending them in different life directions.

Batman: Arkham City

Stupidity: Batman should have tried appealing to Mr Freeze's humanity by telling him his wife wouldn't want him to withhold medicine from Batman and thus possibly avoided a fight.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Continuity mistake: Nora's cryo chamber changes in appearance in the three games it's in. 1. Arkham Origins DLC: Cold, Cold Heart. It looks like a big tube. 2. Arkham City Side Mission: Heart of Ice. It looks like a cabinet. 3. Arkham Knight DLC: In From the Cold. It's a tube again, like in Origins, but smaller.
