Would they have business going to Image Expo without having an Image comic announced?
Might this say something about Rebirth Batgirl?

He, of all the Batfamily, would be the most comfortable going undercover. He's got a sense of the streets none of the others do.

Isn't that basically what he was doing in Batman Inc when he was Nightbird or whatever? They probably could've stuck with that identity if we lived in a just world RHATO wasn't an ongoing series at the time so DC went and status quo'd Jason.

Obviously they do like Batman 66 and design Burtonized versions of everyone else.

Im obviously biased cause I was 7 years old in 1989 and that's still one of my absolute favorite versions of Batman ever, but man I'm crushed this didn't happen.

Really like that Poison Ivy design too. Batgirl doesn't really say 'early 90s' or 'Tim Burton' though.

Me too. Still love that movie.

I wish that comic was real. I want to see what Jamie Foxx Robin could've been. Also curious who that Barbara Gordon may be based off of.

I'd like to read that. Although, I haven't seen Batman Returns. Well, I saw a decent chunk of it in Spanish, but I don't really count that. It's around though, I should. That Batgirl looks very... odd though.

THIS is the huge glaring thing I have trouble getting past in the Burton films. Dude stuffs dynamite down some poor mooks clown pants and gets blown the gently caress up. Oh and blowing up Axis Chemicals, tossing dudes down stairwells.

The movie was trying to be both dark and gritty while keeping the camp and it does not work.

Teenage Fansub

I think DeVito is the perfect example of it working. He's a monster man with hypno umbrellas and a rubber ducky buggy, but he's legitimately horrific and disgusting, and the movie delivers actual pathos when he dies in his filthy onsie, spewing black bile and being dragged away by unconvincing animatronic penguins.

e: Catwoman is no slouch either. Her resurrection by cat licks was dumb, but that's an insanely iconic design/performance mixing the 60's show type quips and, like, serial killer bondage.

It's not quite fair to compare her to Dark Knight Rises' Catwoman cause the tones of the films are different, but I think Pfeiffer's is an infinitely more memorable movie character.

Batman Returns was as serious as Edward Scissorhands, or any other Tim Burton movie. I guess you could call it grim camp or whatever.

I'm terribly biased though. I was one of those kids warped by Batman Returns having Happy Meal toys.

You and me both growing up. I still think Nicholson's Joker is just loving amazing, and wished that DeVito's Penguin had a chance to interact with one another.

Schumacher was doing Grittier Adam West, for sure, but I think Burton was doing his own Burton thing. If there's any '66 in there, I think it's more because that was the dominant cultural image of Batman until Burton and Timm.

(BtAS is still the dominant Batman influence today, which is amazing. I don't watch as many cartoons as I used to, but it seems like it's also still the dominant action cartoon influence—Timm-derivative designs having replaced Toth-derivative. [The original, pre-TNBA BtAS style looks to me like Timm doing his Toth-iest.])

It's fine if you guys like the Batman Burton films, but please don't act like people who don't are somehow joyless or care too much about the source material or whatever.

I just find them to be very stupid movies that waste some excellent performances.
