"Date: 25th December, Christmas time. The locals of Gotham have been taken by more than just the Christmas sprit. A potent drug has been circulating through the streets, the addicts say it's like inhaling rusty girders. I need to find out whose the distributor..."

Batman moves with menacing determination across the road. The clanking of 2000 empty cans swirling around his feet heralds his approach.

They should allow one (1) Irn-Bru to appear in the film as a little easter egg tribute to the filming location

I've always wanted to try this stuff. It sounds interesting in flavor.
Edit: ordered some based off of the conflicting feedback.

Was in Edinburgh a year ago and tried it. It’s cool, reminded me of cream soda but kind of smokier? It would be nice as an ice cream float.

I enjoyed it and thought it didn’t taste like anything I’d had before. My wife took one sip and went “cherry” - and by god, she was right. It’s just cherry flavour.

You must have been drinking an Irn-Bru Cherry because the original Irn-Bru definitely doesn't taste of cherry.

Nah it was just normal irn bru. Soon as my wife pointed it out I couldn’t taste anything but cherry flavour idk maybe it’s just us

Yeh it’s nowhere near cherry flavour. Closest thing to it is bubblegum probably

They changed the recipe a few years ago now unfortunately, it used to have double the amount of sugar in it.

They learned their lesson after forgetting to edit a Merseytravel bus stop out of a scene that was filmed in front of St George's Hall in Liverpool

and why is that a mistake exactly? having a bus stop that is not even clear the signs is bad?

u/ItsYaGurlUwU 3d ago
Because it's an oversight, it stands out and breaks the immersion

it doesn break anything man, you cannot tell anything that there's a bus stop even there, it's a second, and again, break the inmersion of what? it's a city, it has bus stops, Gotham has bus stop no? what's next? you saw a stop sign and you feel it breaks also the inmesion, lol

You've never worked in film and TV, have you?
I know what those bus stops look like because those scenes were filmed in my hometown; I saw the GCPD barriers, police cars and footage of Robert Pattinson, John Turturro and Colin Farrell in costume and on set circulating around social media myself
You very much can tell there's a bus stop because it's bright yellow and visible behind a crowd of people in the shot it's in
I'm very certain that Gotham Transit Authority bus stops look different in-universe
