Weirdly, this year’s Oscar nominees stand as a testament to just how deeply comic book movie culture has entrenched itself in movie culture.
But in case you are laser-focused on the ups and downs of the Marvel and DC cinematic universes: The Joker and Penguin scored big, and The Riddler got left at Arkham Asylum.
Less likely to pick up a statue on Oscar night but no less valuable as a performer/silly connection to comic book culture is Hong Chau, who starred alongside Fraser in The Whale.
But wait, another Amanda Waller, this time from the Green Lantern movie most people do not care for, may actually win an Oscar!
