F’ Batman?! All the Other Times Batman and Robin Broke Up
Batman and Robin may have the single most iconic partnership in the superhero world, but their relationship isn't all sunshine and roses. Take the trailer for the live-action Titans series, for example. When Robin isn't smashing his boot of justice into evil's neck, he's shocking audiences everywhere by saying "F*** Batman!"
That may be a particularly extreme case of Batman and Robin's relationship turning sour, but there's definitely a precedent here. Between his antisocial personality and his habit of letting sidekicks die on the job, Batman has had quite a few nasty breakups over the years. Here are the most memorable cases in DC's comics, TV shows and movies.
Joker Movie Extras Reportedly Locked in Subway Train, Forced to Urinate on Train Tracks
Movie extras filming scenes in the Brooklyn subway station for the Joker movie were reportedly locked on a subway car for over 3 hours, according to TMZ.
The extras were denied their break after two hours of work and started banging on the subway doors asking to be let out as many needed to use the restroom. The lack of being allowed to leave the subway car led to some resorting to urinating on the train tracks through small spaces between the cars.
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) reportedly received a complaint about a required break time violation during production and sent out a representative to resolve the situation. SAG will be monitoring the the set and follow-up as needed.

Observation: Playing As an AI In Next Year’s Smartest Game
“A really simple way to break it down,” says No Code co-founder Jon McKellan, “is that Observation is kind of 2001: A Space Odyssey - but you’re HAL.”
It’s a beautiful elevator pitch for the new game from (and longtime passion project for) the studio behind Stories Untold, but the real joy of Observation comes from just how deeply it’s aiming to communicate what it is to play as that disembodied intelligence. McKellan has another statement to sum that up: “You’re not on a space station, you are the space station”.
Set on the LOSS (that’s Low Orbit Space Station), Observation opens as station AI, Systems Administration and Maintenance (SAM for short) reboots. Something has happened, but it’s unclear what that might be. Lights strobe, alarms sound, and the only contactable crew member is station doctor Emma Fisher - she’s stuck in an airlock. It seems fitting that, as part of the rich lineage of talking space computers, your first task should be to open a door on command.
