Even so, 2022’s double whammy of The Batman and The Fabelmans seemed to extend his range all at once. Near the end of The Batman, Dano is finally seen without his mask; sitting in a diner with a question mark daubed in the foam of his cappuccino, he is shown a clutch of different IDs by the arresting officer, each one with his face on it. “Which one’s you?” the cop asks. “You tell me,” the Riddler blinks back.
As well it might. Dumb Money, adapted from Ben Mezrich’s nonfiction book The Antisocial Network, dramatises the 2021, in which investors betting against the beleaguered video game retailer got a nasty shock when the downward trajectory was reversed by online defenders coming to the company’s rescue and snapping up its stock. Foremost among them was Keith Gill, known online as Roaring Kitty, whose YouTube videos alerted his followers to the injustice of Wall Street pummelling GameStop.
