Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 24th, 2016)

Shyder's version:

this would be funny if it wasn't so true...

Yep.

I still have the Keaton Batman one

The art in that one is pretty darn good.

Damn, I do suck.

 

[Khev]

Art doesn't look half bad.

You know I did read a fair amount of Batman in the 90's. Not only Knightfall (which was a ton of issues) and Spawn/Batman and Captain America/Batman but also Batman vs. Predator and Batman vs. Dracula as well.

I actually really enjoyed the latter two, cheesy as those mashups may have been.

I have them all, including the alternate covers. Even have the standard (non painted) '89 comic signed by Denny O' Neil and Jerry Ordway which is cool.









The art work for Batman and Robin and Batman Begins aren't very good. You can tell they started to not care anymore before they did away with them.

FML

Alternate covers too!

Off to ****** Ebay.

Those covers for Batman in the 90s were always creepy, especially the Knightfall ones. I always loved this one,

Interesting that the BB comic art makes his batsuit look more like how it would appear in TDK.

*Ok, I can finally post this*

- Are you alright, Master Bruce?
- Alfred... I had a nightmare... And YOU was in it.

Not sure how many people here watch Funhaus, but today's podcast was on point IMO. Topics include concepts that were apparent yet not fully executed, the idea of the delayed payoff/culmination, and comic book/comic convention culture influencing filmmaking and continuity.
That last one is particularly interesting and extremely prevalent these days. You can observe at least two schools of thought regarding this movie, one of which comes from more of a film perspective and one from a comic book perspective. And even some hardcore comic book readers still want their films to feel different from the books, so the justification of "if you read the comics, this would make sense" doesn't fly with them. Food for thought on the most common BvS defense/critique.

Yep. Kelley Jones' covers were what sucked me into Knightfall. I was so excited (and then utterly disappointed) when it was revealed that Bane would be in B&R.

Seriously, people who complained about Doomsday in BvS should count their freaking blessings.

I posted this in the Statue section but thought it was cool enough to see all PF's together to share here:

Pretty awesome for those who get all four. Poor Schumacher.

SS was very generous to Adam West's body

Best fight scene in any Batman movie.

SS was very generous to Adam West's body

They had to be. Both West and Newmar got to dictate how the sculpts looked.

You should see the Newmar figure, especially those idealized nips. Can't wait to see the Pfieffer Catwoman.
