Does the movie have a "Martha" joke?


???

Nope

Nope. There is quite a funny line about the basic setup of Suicide Squad though.

What's the joke?

reply

There was none?
It was only mentioned and a list of other possible partners for Batman.

Lincoln Lee: I lost a partner.
Peter Bishop: I lost a universe!

There was one. Something along the lines of, Oh yeah, let's assemble a team of criminals to fight other criminals. That sounds like a great idea!

While that fits to SS it's what they did at the end anyway without the SS, was to general for me.

Yeah Batman said it was a stupid idea. There was also a jab at killer croc when he turns on the bomb & yells "I did something!"

reply

No. I'm glad it doesn't. I wouldn't want this film to be dragged down by BVS. :p

When Joker gets sent to the Phantom Zone and is introduced to it's caretaker, she introduces herself by saying her name is Phyllis.

Joker responds by saying "that's my grandmother's name."


I felt that was a nod to the "Martha" gag.

Does it have a Nolan's knight 'mommy fixation' joke?

It does establish that Lego Batman can find his own butt, unlike Nolan's knight in 'Nolan's knight rises', though.

I'm truly glad to see the demise of this forum. I might even throw a party!

An opinion is not offensive just because you do not agree with it.
