The Batman is still in the midst of filming, but it’s already given us one thing that none of the other live-action Batman films have: Batman (and not Bruce Wayne) in a robe. The Caped Crusader and his loungewear appeared on the Liverpool set of The Batman, which resumed shooting after a positive case of COVID-19 led to production being shut down. Paparazzi photos of that shoot show someone wearing Batman’s suit riding a motorcycle and standing around in-between shots. It doesn’t appear to be Robert Pattinson himself but rather a stunt double. For the most part, these are the kinds of photos that you’d expect to come from an outdoor shoot: There is a little bit of action and a lot of standing around. But in many of the photos, the person donning the bat suit is wearing a big and thick black robe. https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1316504705351155715 https://twitter.com/ljwr_/status/1316025639174987784 https://twitter.com/tranganhdong/status/1316099804074778624 Is there something about this particular Batman—and why he’s wearing a robe—that we don’t know? Probably not. It’s far more likely that the robe is something for the performer to wear in-between takes if it’s chilly and the bat suit isn’t suited for cooler weather. But context matters not when there’s a new Batman photo to inspire memes. https://twitter.com/cevangelista413/status/1316411105430904834 Someone quickly sparked a contest in r/photoshopbattles in which redditors tried to outdo their remixes on robed Batman. On Twitter, the puns and riffing flowed freely.  https://twitter.com/MaxKennerly/status/1316421563475005440 https://twitter.com/DanhausenAD/status/1316505654568390658 https://twitter.com/3CFilmReview/status/1316036309018988547 https://twitter.com/tprstly/status/1316434110815113216 https://twitter.com/ManMadeMoon/status/1316591736131444736 https://twitter.com/ObsKenobs/status/1316455960454496259 https://twitter.com/ryansatin/status/1316495512200114177 Visually, Pattinson’s stunt double wearing the bat suit and a robe brings to mind Lego Batman, who pulled a similar move in The Lego Batman Movie. The Batman might be yet another movie that delves into the psyche of someone who’s traumatized by his past and turns to vigilanteism to turn Gotham City around, something that might both interest and turn away fans depend on what they want from The Batman. But for a brief moment, as Pattinson’s stunt double stood in a robe that wouldn’t appear in the movie and he was only wearing for practical reasons (and operates as a blank canvas that allows us to put our own feelings onto it), he’s never been more relatable.

Thursday night's dueling town halls in lieu of a second presidential debate created an unlikely star. The audience was enthralled with a woman sitting directly behind President Donald Trump and nodding eagerly along with everything he said throughout the hour-long event. Conservatives, of course, loved it. https://twitter.com/KyleKashuv/status/1316919481071996929?s=20 https://twitter.com/realTylerZed/status/1316904501975130113?s=20 Many on the left tweeted disparagingly about the woman, who was quickly dubbed the "nodding lady." Someone even created a Twitter account for the mysterious woman about whom little was initially known. The sum total of the public knowledge about her at first was an assumption that she is Black and likes what Trump has to say. https://twitter.com/GeeDee215/status/1316895399370698755?s=20 https://twitter.com/noddinglady1/status/1316943066092232706?s=20 https://twitter.com/DwayneLGill/status/1316898994212175873?s=20 It didn't take long for the furor to produce a name: Mayra Joli. The Miami Herald reports that Joli is an immigration attorney who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in South Florida as an independent in 2018, a race in which she was reportedly endorsed by a local branch of the Proud Boys. She's also a pundit on a Spanish-language television. https://twitter.com/alextdaugherty/status/1316920589853089792?s=20 https://twitter.com/mammaTam55/status/1316994508718960641?s=20 According to her social media presence and public statements, Joli is an adamant Trump supporter. She told the Herald that Trump inspired her Congressional bid. Who is Mayra Joli? There are numerous photos circulating online of her posing with prominent Republicans including Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Roger Stone. https://twitter.com/ushadrons/status/1316957936602783747?s=20 Picture after picture after picture on social media show Joli posing in Trump campaign gear, at Trump-branded properties, and repeating Trump party lines that some may find surprising for a Black woman who is reportedly an immigrant from the Dominican Republic. On Oct. 11, Joli posted photos of herself with Donald Trump Jr. on a Facebook account that appears to belong to her. Two Twitter accounts that purportedly belong to her contain similar images and pro-Trump, as well as far-right, sentiments. https://twitter.com/MayraJoli/status/1310413291915800576?s=20 https://twitter.com/JoliMayra/status/1312731320171233280?s=20 https://twitter.com/JoliMayra/status/1299715338360311808?s=20 Posts on Joli's social media accounts indicate that in addition to being extremely pro-Trump, she holds far-right views. On Facebook, where Joli is particularly prolific, she's posted approvingly about the Confederacy, once even suggesting that descendants of freed slaves should pay descendants of Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. She's defended the police officer who's been charged with the murder of George Floyd, whom she disparaged in a separate post. Joli has also tweeted disparaging comments about Floyd and other Black people whose deaths at the hands of police inspired civil rights protests nationwide earlier this year. https://twitter.com/MayraJoli/status/1310196127757733889?s=20 Her posts indicate that she's also an anti-masker. In May, she posted a meme on Facebook calling the coronavirus a "scam." https://twitter.com/MayraJoli/status/1285227477858648071?s=20 Once her identity was revealed, Trump supporters wasted no time congratulating their new heroine. https://twitter.com/AMandFM/status/1317104229354512384?s=20 https://twitter.com/wyatttoday/status/1316918993039577092?s=20 People who oppose the president, naturally, took the opposite track. https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1316931387874811905?s=20 https://twitter.com/SawyerHackett/status/1316927927540396038?s=20 https://twitter.com/martindvassolo/status/1316943223961669632?s=20 https://twitter.com/beepea06/status/1316938216008810498?s=20 On Facebook, Joli seemed unfazed by the sudden fascination with her. "#nodding lady will send you crying to #nothinghill," she posted early Friday.

That fly wasn't the only topic that debate watchers were buzzing about.......

Emily went to Paris and Twitter users went into full-blown meme-making mode. Since Netflix released the first season of Emily in Paris on Oct. 2, people have been sharing all sorts of takes, reviews, and memes about the show online. The consensus seems to be that the 10 episodes — brought to us by Darren Star, the man who created Sex and the City and Younger — are ultimately NOT great. Sure, the show is a perfect form of escapism, but Emily (Lily Collins) doesn't understand the first thing about social media, the plot lines are ridiculously farfetched, and some French people believe the show presents a warped, cliché, and stereotypical view of Paris.
