If Batman is canonically about 32 then he was born in 1986. And if his parents were killed leaving a movie theater when he was ten years old, then there is a very real possibility that they were seeing Space Jam
Opera Theatre
Depends on which canon, but in the original canon they were seeing The Mask of Zorro, which continued in subsequent comics canons well into the Burton and Schumacher movie canons.
In Christopher Nolan’s canon, they were seeing a stage production of Hannibal. This seems to be the only deviation.
In Zack Snyder’s canon, Snyder returned to form and they were leaving The Mask of Zorro even though that made little sense.
Honestly, the whole aesthetic of Batman’s origin has this weird antiquity, where Thomas and Martha Wayne are dressed like wealthy socialites from the 1920s no matter what era the canon is set in.
Always bothers me. Wealthy people don’t out on pearls to go see a movie in a regular theater. They put on jeans.
Thats why i always thought it was an opera Theatre??? Wtf Batman
me: really i think ‘handsome androgynous anime character with extravagant impractical outfit gracefully dancing on the line between ally and antagonist’ should be a viable career path. that’s what I was born to do.
job interviewer: honestly I agree but you gotta keep in mind you’re applying for an entry level desk job here
shows up to my first day of work dressed like this
my manager commends my commitment to “dress for the job you want” but says she’s gonna have to give me the boot if I keep knocking stuff off everyone else’s desks whenever I go to the bathroom
