It seems to me that the people that most hate they original 616 looks are the younger group of "fans"
Because if they were fans they'd know...there's NOTHING cool about the Ultimate universe....
and...
The 60's Batman was a tv show...not a movie.
Are you speaking for all comic book fans? You know them ALL?? Personally?? So my saying I am a 20 year comic fan is moot because 2 people who I just "met" on a forum "know" better
There are quite a bit of things cool with the Ultimate Universe....they were so "cool" they started doing it in the MU (Black Nick Fury, Cap wearing pouches on his belt as opposed to just a silly black belt), But what do I know....I'm just a younger comic book fan
who at least knew about the campy 60s Batman movie......with you being such an "older" comic book fan than me I figured that would not have slipped by you and I would have got a dissertation on who the 60 Batman was a perfect replica of the comic book Batman lool and showed how well a comic book outfit translated to the physical world. It's a surprise that you don't seem to know about the movie? I would have figured that all older comic book fans would have seen that....
I mean it takes quite a bit of audacity to just lay out that someone you don't know:
Knows nothing about 616 (hell I knew enough to say 616 so that should be something)
Is younger (because in reality I'm old enough to have seen the sorry 60s Batman movie...when is the last time they've played that sad film on TV?)
Hasn't read comics that long (despite sharing that I have been reading comics for 20 years and have the collection to prove it)
Comic Cap doesn't suck...Man Without a Country and Civil War prove this...my comment is that a more military looking outfit would be more functional and really sell the idea of his being a soldier (which Ultimate did AND turned Cap into even more of a bad @$$ btw something the writers of the 616 have been doing....I mean look at Bucky Cap). Heck I was glad when Udon changed Taskmaster's costume and hated when they went back to the classic mostrosity of the skull face, hood, cape, pirate boots.
So after much thought...Cap will be preordered. It will be my Cap (like my ML Ultimate Cap is my Cap for my ML Avengers) and I'll move my TFA next to my computer for when I work on Social Studies and Algebra when I get home from high school...after I've sucked down some Capri Sun....
