The left arm is the one that moves and that holds the right hand in place. nt tblue37 May 2020 #8
Ok It looked to me like left was drooping. Something looks more unnatural gibraltar72 May 2020 #10
I do think the left shoulder droops, and in the first video the left arm seems to hang somewhat tblue37 May 2020 #14

the hand signals he throws around, the odd posture, and this shoulder wagging I have seen more than once before.

Question is, is it just a mannerism or does he have physical ailment that prevents him from standing still unless he has both hands on a podium.

He takes his right hand and holds the left as if to stabilize it. The left arm looks to be much further down his side because of the shoulder droop. I guess we'll know soon enough.

body.

There's been discussion of his immobile arm before here. I remember a thread with video of him shortly after his trip to the hospital that showed him only using one arm when it would have been far more natural to use both, but I can't remember which arm wasn't moving.

Honestly, I am amazed the guy is still alive. He has abused himself for so long and is so unhealthy. I wish he'd just keel over and end this nightmare for all of us.

...it was in the Michael Keaton Batman movies. That was because he couldn't turn his head with the cowl and shoulders being one rubber costume piece.
