I know I'm going to create a stir, but I'm giving it a big "meh". Honestly, it's nothing we haven't really seen before. I think people forget just how revolutionary Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film was. There hadn't been a superhero film like it, and it was somewhat comparable to 1977's Star Wars in how it changed the genre. Most of what we get these days in the ways of comic book movies is simply a rehash of existing tropes. Mind you, this latest flick looks really well done and of course they're going to get my money... but am I excited? Not in the least.
I mean, Batman is Batman. You can't tinker with the formula too much. If you want a radical wild crazy take, there's stuff like "Batman Ninja". Or "Dark Nights: Batman Metal". I don't know what extra special sauce you're looking for.
IMO I am not seeing Batmam for Batman. I am seeing it for the villains. These villains look boring. Is that the new catwoman in there? I do not know because she did not seem to have any cat ears so she might be someone else. If that is catwoman than someone get her something that looks like cat ears. I am going to have to boycott any batman with a catwoman that does not have something that looks like cat ears. I could sort of accept the last catwoman not having a tail as maybe she was a tailless cat, but the ears are important.
They could update the premise - Bruce Wayne realizes he is part of the corruption of this country, raises all his employees wages adjusted to where they should be had pay increased at the rate with the GDP and executive pay, then the new villains are all his close friends and family of friends.
I would go see a movie where batman beats up the gravy seals and Biden Bros who are battling him for a pair of elderly rich white evil dudes. Maybe they could make batman a trans black woman and really piss them off. I guess that would be batwoman but we could have a teaching moment for the chuds regarding pronouns in the movie.
No, he has to stay a white guy at first, because what CHUDs hate more than minorities, it's class treason. In the sequel, he dies of mortal injuries, and passes the mantle to a black transwoman. And there's a scene that makes really big deal that she can bench more than Bruce.
You gotta let the page load every last stupid little detail it wants to load. Else, the link you wanna click either jumps up and down, and you miss, or the hit detection on the link flat out goes somewhere else. Happens to me on Facebook all the fucking time.
So it seems like we have the normal RP doing his angst face. The dude can actually act, but why not just have him be Edward in every single mainstream release. Perhaps there is a reason he seems to be avoiding mainstream roles. Anyway, just another in a long line of Batman fodder. We have seen Batman done better. We have seen Catwoman done better. We have seen the Riddler done better. We have seen every character done better. If I bother with this I am pirating it. I am not shelling out another dollar to the batman IP holders. I am not even going to redbox this shit. Sorry to the DC people but I have paid for this shit too many times. You really should be giving us a batman movie for free.
You do realize we are on a message board in a room dedicated to expressing our opinions about media right? That is sort of like the purpose of being here. Anyway, do you have something useful to say?
Yeah, and I get to say things back. Sometimes it's not applause, and happy weeping. Sorry, Alanis. Like what? A cancer cure? A transwarp equation? You think your post earned that? Come on, it was basically "jingle bells, Batman smells" without the rhyme-y parts.
If you have a transwarp equation, and you are not posting it just to spite Tererun, I will kick your ass.
So far, this Batman is coming off as the fantasy of a 2020 protest kid. Like, no parents and no job, man. Dressed in all black and totally beating up anyone who says things he doesn't like, because this is the badass dream where he isn't a weaselly little shit who would get his ass handed to him every time he raises a hand.
Um....Riddler is a serial killer. Where the fuck are you getting the saying things he doesn't like reading?
Oh, I get it, that was your cornflakes I pissed in this morning. Well, it happens. I am sorry, I will try to eat more asparagus next time. Good talkin to ya.
