   did you watch Oppenheimer, the film about the moral implications of the things we create, starring an actor who also played a Gotham City psychiatrist who went insane

     Loved Barbie. The part where she got bit by a radioactive OPPENHEIMER, said "It's Barbie time!", and built a Barbie Dream Jail for the bad guys to reflect on what they did wrong... Well, it brought a tear to my eye. It was my good eye at that.

     @clacke The lesson is: Don't apply for psychiatry jobs at Arkham Asylum.

     actually I double-checked and at least Nolan's Scarecrow was a psychologist, not a psychiatrist

     @clacke Interesting connection. That said I watched neither. I would be interested in seeing Oppenheimer while it's still in theaters but can wait for crowds to die down. I saw the trailer for Barbie and can't imagine sitting through any more of it than the trailer, but will probably watch it just out of curiosity if it streams on one of my services.

     @clacke Does it count if I haven't seen either of them yet? Is there another film starring someone who also played a Gotham City psychiatrist who went insane?

     @sim Then I can recommend[0] "Being the Ricardos" where Tony Hale, Doctor Psycho on "Harley Quinn", plays "I Love Lucy" producer and writer Jess ... Oppenheimer.

     [0] no I can't, I haven't seen it

     @clacke didn't Harley say she had a PhD in Birds of Prey? PhD would be psychologist, MD would be Psychiatrist

     @silverwizard I'll go check the 17 versions of Harley Quinn on DC Fandom and see if any one of them is a psychiatrist. 😃

     DC has been terribly inconsistent about whether she is an MD or not, not just between versions, but often within one and the same story universe too:

     (DC Fandom was vague about it and didn't provide sources)

     @dave31175 @clacke Barbie is an existential crisis with a pastel colour palette, in case that helps.

     @pjohanneson @clacke Meh, the unwatchable trailer (granted trailers can be a poor representation of a film, but it is their job after all to make one *want* to watch the film) and the immense popularity (I don't always have a good track record with immensely popular films, e.g. Get Out, Parasite, Top Gun Maverick) are a couple of large red flags. Nonetheless I'm sure curiosity will win out and I'll give it a watch if it drops on one of my services!
