The Batman (June 25, 2021)

[Wor-Gar]

The fact that Scorpio is applied to The Riddler is what's new.

 

[Mondragon]

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.

Yeeeehaw!

Already made this look good

...what!

Hell Charged!

Or is this gen just completely bereft of ideas?

And like the 60-70s muscle car, the fact that it's now applied to Batman doesn't make it new, or edgy. It's pedestrian.

Even though this low end year One take on batman is likley my favorite take.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Perhaps one day we'll get a Clint Eastwood style Batman.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Agent Smith as Batman... with that angry sneer and gritted teeth.

Obvious, but that was tDKR

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Obvious, but that was tDKR

I mean in live action.

Clint is more of the Wolverine type than Batman type.

Depends what part of Batman you like -- the Detective type or the Cruel Shadow Punisher type

I prefer the Christine type:

 

[Wor-Gar]

A bit of both is what everyone likes... but the two sides don't always fit so well.

The brilliant detective type seems like he'd be more cautious, thoughtful, clever and somewhat reasonable... while the shadowy vengeance Batman is pure retribution and punishment in scary fashion, which doesn't seem like the actions of a smart mind.

It's emotion vs intellect...

 

[Mondragon]

It's emotion .....

In this one side won out

This broody emo sh**, it belongs to us now...

[Wor-Gar]

The "dark, broody, troublesome boys" of generations past have given rise to the "moody, angry, incels" of today. These are the type that embrace The Dark Knight fully and completely.

 

[ironwez20]

Funny cause I remember people hated the whole emo look. Also has anybody seen that horrible mcfarlene figure of drifter Pattinson Batman . Looks terrible .

 

[matticus]

This movie really isn't toy friendly. Just like with grunge music, you are hitting a unique demo with this.

 

[Wor-Gar]

drifter Pattinson Batman .

"Drifter"...?

 

[ironwez20]

"Drifter"...?

That’s what they call him I think. The figure.

 

[matticus]

"Drifter"...?

He looks like a drifter so I guess it fits. I hope no one buys that figure. Woof.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Is that a joke? Looks horrible. Adult Swim?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

He looks like a drifter so I guess it fits. I hope no one buys that figure. Woof.

He looks like a lesbian leaving the gym after a long workout.
