The Batman (June 25, 2021)

[Wor-Gar]

I think Dano's performance will make or break this Riddler. If he's really good, then maybe the costume will automatically get a boost in coolness.

Well of course.

He can't really be cool if he's wearing a ridiculous outfit. Look at Letoker.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Well of course.

He can't really be cool if he's wearing a ridiculous outfit. Look at Letoker.

What I'm saying is, I don't think the costume by itself is great, but if his acting is good and they use the Riddler well, then those two things can elevate an average costume because the character is cool.

Had Leto been awesome and SS a great film, I don't think we would have a problem with the costume or even the tattoos...well, maybe. That forehead tattoo was awful.

There's nothing awful about this Riddler costume tho. It's ok on its own, but the film and performance might make it great.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No, I understood. I think we agree.

Letoker was a poor example, I couldn't think of a good one.

I didn’t have a problem with the tats. But then he acted like a complete idiot on screen and that’s when I saw how ridiculous he was. So yea the movie with make or break the look .

Tats were awful. Teeth awful. Joker isn't some club gangster. It was just a bad angle to play.

And here I thought he was retarded.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Special needs.

He rode the short purple. bus to school.

Apparently some people think he was comic accurate. Same idiots who demand an Ayer cut lol

 

[Mondragon]

He rode the short pink bus to school.

As long as Batman is not the last on the planet to join the embarrassing I also need a retro 60s-70s trickedout black muscle car bandwagon.

Max

Punisher

Blade

Deathproof Mike

Toretto

Reyes' Hell Charger

Or is this gen just completley bereft of ideas?

Have you watched any movies the last 15 years? Matrix might be the only really new idea I can remember.

And I Joker drove a purple lambo so I meant purple not pink lol

 

[Mondragon]

Matrix might be the only really new idea I can remember.

That's over 20 years, Wachowskis were born in the 60's are in their late 50s now. they are from the creative previous gen. like I said, not this gen. who are bereft of ideas.
Batman (Wayne's supposed cutting-edge tech) being the last to soup-up a vintage muscle car in 2021, is not new, it's not original, it's not unique or cutting-edge, it's creatively bankrupt, derivative fanwank level embarrassing.

Granted this is Year Two Batman. Rumored to take place in the 90s but yet to be confirmed. Arkham BM games best represented the tech Batman. Video games is now where the best storytelling and innovative thinking is at.

It doesn’t take place in the 90s . Some dude is holding an iPad or iPhone in the trailer.

 

[jye4ever]

Nolan gave us the flying Lobster lol

I think the whole 90s emo look is throwing people.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The Batman is The Crow.

After the Schumacher cars and that ridiculous Nolan-monstrosity, I think I'm OK with the plagiarized muscle-mobile.

I do wish they would use a more stylized car of course -- Burton's is still the best albeit impractical -- or get inspiration from a mix of West's car, Burton's and the Animated series. Something stylish with fins/wings.

I love fins and wings on a vehicle. I like old Cadillacs. Ecto 1 still my favorite all time movie car. Second place goes to 89 Batmobile and 3rd to BTTF Delorean. Notice how all three have fins or some kind of spiky backside.
