That is creepy. I don’t fact check but that’s beyond coincidence. Phatman 3 & Batman 3 just happened to be the one it happened during…ok. I don’t understand the Scream argument either…?

I thought that maybe Static 21 used the Scream 2 opening theater scene as inspiration but even that movie came out 2 years after the comic. Super weird!

Oh ok. No they were saying Phatman instead of Batman. They were afraid to go see it b/c there was a shooting in the theater during the previous Phat/Batman.
