Mars Toys 1/6 Penguin (Burgess Meredith)

My main take away from the Battinson movie was that unless you really want to do something exceedingly earth shattering with the story, the villains will always be the most interesting part of the movie.

I only watched the movie cause I wanted to see The Penguin series when the initial reviews were so glowing. Seriously, any nondescript popular actor could play Batman (.. Clooney..) cause a standard Batman story is rarely about anything to do with Batman's character development: cause there ain't any. That's why he's always Batman.

The Riddler, on the other hand, was great, by the end of the movie I probably would've bought a toy if one was out with the actor's portrait included. But no interest in Battinson whatsoever.

I really think the only DC TV/Movie property to ever do anything akin to character development with Batman to make him more than one dimensional is the Justice League Unlimited series. His 'romance' with Wonder Woman, his turn against Superman and other heroes, being Bruce Wayne with the other heroes (and villains!). That series did so much more with Batman than any other series/movie I have seen. Even my partner said 'The last person I'd have thought would be my favourite in this series was Batman'.

I’m just tired of Mars going all-in on Reeves-verse Batman when they’ve teased so many more interesting things, which are now getting put on the back burner seemingly just because Mars liked the Penguin show.

No offense to those who are excited for 2022 stuff, but it’s wildly frustrating seeing what we want sidelined in favor of new stuff - especially when the new stuff is so visually uninteresting. Do we really need boring figures of Alfred, Gordon, and Catwoman from both Mars and JazzInc?

I’d rather Mars get to the ‘66 stuff before JazzInc so we don’t have to blow $500 each on the classic villains. If Mars doesn’t finish that lineup I’ll probably just sell off my Prank Villain and give up on the main four ‘66 villains.

What has Mars teased from The Penguin show...?

I’m just referring to this whole “continuity”. Since the Penguin show was airing Mars has teased a new Penguin, Catwoman, Gordon, and Alfred.

I never saw Gordon or Alfred. And I think I only saw Yixie's Penguin.

I'd love a tuxedo'd Penguin from the last episode... and a Sofia.

Yeah, they teased them a few weeks ago. I didn’t bother posting a thread since their announcements / teases mean nothing now.

I disagree. I think Batman Begins, and The Dark Knight Trilogy as a whole (but mostly Begins), gave Bruce/Batman an absolute tonne of character development. He certainly didn't come off as one-dimensional in any of those movies, as both Bruce and Batman.

They did his origin story the best, for sure, but yeah, after he became Batman, that was about it from my perspective. The Bale Batman's are still, easily, my favourite movie Batman movie series regardless.

Please stay on topic.
