The speaker discusses their theory about the main antagonist of the upcoming Batman movie being Hush, a character from the DC Comics universe, rather than the Joker. They argue that Hush, who is a villain that directly comments on Batman, fits better into the world created by the movie. They also point out that Hush, unlike the Joker, is a character who grew up with Batman and has a deep grudge against him, making him a more fitting villain for the Batman universe. The speaker also highlights the similarities between Hush and the Riddler, another character from the Batman universe, and suggests that the movie is trying to misdirect the audience by introducing the Joker. They also discuss the potential for the movie to explore the darker side of Batman's world and the responsibilities that come with his privilege.
