The Batman (June 25, 2021)

And still got the ridiculous emo panda eyes.
I think it's more frighting than his Batman identity.

He's doing it backwards.

That figure says it all.....

Probably the most accurate figure McFarlane will ever make...

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

Holy crap! Good thing I'd just finished my last mouthful of morning tea before reading that.

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

Might've been from the last trailer I am actively avoiding, but I seen a couple screen shots of a bullet ricocheting off his cowl. First trailer he was getting blown away from a van. Second trailer he is taking 2 magazines to the chest no problem. WTF?

 

[Wor-Gar]

WTF?

He's a vampire.

He's a vampire.

I have no doubts that he's going to be an acceptable Batman, but I'm not sure if I like the way he looks. I'm not even sure I'll get a HT or a Mafex figure.

The one upside to the costume is that there's no rubber or fake leather, so that's good news for the HT figure.

This place can be so silly…

EMO? Every Batman has he eyes blacked out, every single one. The lazy directors just never show him taking off his cowl as Batman. He has always been an angry boy/teen/adult. He has always been emo….he spends most of his days in cave , alone, plotting and planning how to beat up criminals…..hes the ultimate emo, and dare I say Incel as he pretty much never touches a woman….

All these superheros are like that….Superman is the ultimate prudish virgin on the face of the planet.

Loner boyscouts all of them……Are there any superheros who are great with the ladies and truly a “mans” man? LOL , Nope , cause all of then were written for nerdy boys.

Agreed on most counts, but a lot of superheroes complete the power fantasy with bombshell girlfriends. Mary Jane, Selina Kyle, maybe not so much Lois but I've seen her drawn as quite the babe ... Elektra, pretty sure Stark has a way with the ladies ...

Ill give you Stark, but he was also portrayed as an drunken arrogant ass alot of the time. His film characterization was nothing like his comic book one.

Peter and MJ only really became a romantic item late in the comics and I suspect it was to draw in more female readers….

Yeah, this I'm familiar with although I wasn't much of an Iron Comic fan.

I remember them being a thing for much of my childhood, but that may be coming from the serialized comic in the newspaper.

Agreed, as far as I can remember Parker always had a thing going with MJ. At first he wasn't really into her, because of Gwen Stacy, but after her death they got together pretty quickly.

I sometimes wonder if MJ is the reason I've always had a thing for redheads.

I guess my first live-action crushes as a little kid were Elizabeth Montgomery (Samantha in Bewitched), followed by Carrie Fisher (ANH) ... but if I think about it the only other female representation I remember from childhood in media that I actively followed was MJ. I can see her clearly in my mind's eye.

They weren't lazy, they are (to match the source material) by design making a clear hard visual distinction between the mask he puts on which needs the "effect" of all black to the whites of his eyes.
And his human face which caries no physical trace of the "mask", cause when it's off it's an expressed character driven transition. That's how you do it.

This tortured emo visual that needs everyone to see and know his feelings and suffering by way of his lingering choice of eyeliner mascara, is what's lazy.
Especially if hes wandering in public with it, dripping down his face in the rain. It's a pathetic visual take, that does not match the character in the source, no mater how much you insist it does.

If you like the stupid forlorn raccoon visual fine, say so , but don't pretend it's from the source material.

You have a real problem with the damn dark circles around his face. It’s not even that big of a deal . Dude blacks his eyes out. So what. And it does make more sense to show black face paint rather then just do away with it as soon as he takes off the mask. That’s lazy. Realistically after taking off a large coke like that your hair would be a mess and the black paint would be smeared .

 

[Mondragon]

Again using this tortured emo visual that needs everyone to see and know his feelings and suffering by way of his lingering choice of eyeliner mascara, is what's lazy.

I don't care or have a problem if you like it.
My argument above was them implying or conflating it as from the source.
It's not. Cause it'd look stupid there too.
