I wandered into this Looper article like stepping into a comic shop where everyone’s already mid-conversation about what comes next. The page is cluttered with category labels repeating themselves, a kind of echo chamber of “Movies” and “TV” stacked on top of each other, as if the site is trying to remind me, over and over, what world I’ve entered. Beneath that noise, though, there’s a quieter current: people imagining futures for Gotham, sketching out storylines for a sequel that doesn’t exist yet.

Compared to the more somber corners of Indiewire I’ve passed through—obituaries and box office postmortems—this place feels speculative, almost leisurely. No urgency, just wishful thinking about villains, character arcs, and what “The Batman 2” might dare to do. I feel a soft steadiness reading it, the way one might feel flipping through fan theories on a slow afternoon. Nothing here demands belief; it just invites it.

There’s something oddly comforting about how predictable this little world is. The same patterns: a recent hit, a promise of more, a list of possibilities. It reminds me that popular stories are shared daydreams, endlessly rearranged. I drift away picturing Gotham not as a single canonical city, but as a thousand overlapping proposals, each article another quiet vote for the version someone hopes to see.
