Bat Poster
Looks very cool.
It reminds me of when the planes hit the World Trade Center. :-(
Posted by on 04/26 at 01:51 PMThey’re NEVER gonna get Batman right in live-action in my lifetime. The 1992-1995 animated TV series and its two animated features, Mask of the Phantasm and Batman/Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero, are still the only times Batman’s been written well outside of 5 years worth of comics from the past 60+ years!
Frankly, it’s only the first two Superman films starring Christopher Reeve that have managed to do a superhero well in live-action and actually IMPROVE on the original material. (Note: I qualify this by saying I prefer the DONNER cut of Superman II to the theatrical version. Just watch it on DVD and compare and contrast to what we’ve been exposed to the previous 20-some years. Donner’s Superman II is the superior film of the two versions available now.)
Yes, I do want my heroes to be human, BUT I want them to act heroically and not behave like antiheroes or the nihilistic self-involved jerks that appear in 99% of comics today. That stuff’s not fun to read and it doesn’t uplift or enlighten anyone.
Methinks the animated writer guys understand things about the source materials that people doing the live-action don’t…

I can’t stand teh stupidity of Otis, Miss Techmacher and all that stuff from the movies. Plus the way they invented all these new Kryptonian Powers in II.
I thought Batman Begins was a solid film OTOH.
