I doubt Bale could move at all in the Bat suits, so even simple choreography must suck.
I'm not sure if Affleck could move his neck at all in bvs, but he sure moved fast in the wharehouse fight.

Every time a new Batman movie comes out the guy playing Batman always talks up the new suit and how he can do things in it he never could before. Then when the next Batman movie comes out they talk about how that old suit was so restrictive, but the new suit? This new suit is allowing me to move so much better than before!

The Batfleck suit is the only one I've seen yet that seems to live up to that billing, he really does appear to be able to move around like Batman should.

He was able to. I think they said they invented a new fabric to make the cowl or something. It must have been the most comfortable Batsuit of them all.

I feel like the logical conclusion of this process is a live action Batman Beyond adaptation, and I'm totally okay with that.

If they did a live-action Batman Beyond they'd still put him in some weird armor plated suit thing, so we'd have the same problem. And I don't think we're ever going to see a live-action version of Batman like the Animated Series where he's basically just wearing a cloth version of Keaton's suit. I guess they think its too close to Adam West and people wouldn't be able to take the character seriously.

The Batman in Batman: Dead End wore a normal cloth suit and it worked just fine.

Fair enough. Somebody more erudite than me can break it down better, but that clip really displays how each cut was there to make a point, from establishing geography, to establishing intent, to establishing how loving cool it is when Damon breaks through your window. That scene is dramatic in the best way, it keeps ratcheting upwards, from first contact, to fists, to weilding books, then chair legs, then knife-fighting, each step more desperate and cutthroat than the last. It tells a story with each camera change, the blurriness and rawness there to evoke how completely hosed the situation is, until the end, where there is a longish cut on the Desh, lying dead, which is honestly kind of depressing.

Like when Julia Stiles got knocked out. The first cut is her deciding to act. The next cut is her doing it. The next cut is her being elbowed in the face. Then the last is her sprawled out, with the two fighters being displayed in the periphery, establishing where poo poo is going down. Its all so clearly laid out by Greengrass and his crew. And I love it.

Cage is finally gonna get his moment in a DC movie when he's cast as the villain for Batfleck: The Movie. I don't give a poo poo who he's cast as, make him Poison Ivy for all I care, but I want a movie where Bruce Miller's Ben Affleck as Batman spends his time hunting down Nicolas Cage.

quote:

Yesterday in Vegas, Vince Neil allegedly attacked a woman and then got into a physical altercation with Nic Cage, as the actor attempted to calm him down. According to TMZ, Cage and Neil were inside a restaurant when a woman came up to Cage and asked for an autograph. Then, "Vince allegedly got behind the woman, grabbed her by the hair, and pulled her to the ground." The video shows the end of their fight, as Cage tries to restrain Neil. Vince Neil is now the subject of a criminal investigation.

Well I think it was supposed to be some kind of super futuristic techno suit where it is basically like spandex with loving microchips and poo poo in it that makes you strong, faster, tougher. Booster Gold is an example of someone with something similar.

Then again, this is the DCU version of Steel who is basically supposed to be the DC version of Ironman:

That Englebert Humperdink guy ruined Cumberbach's name for me. I cant say the latter without the former coming to me first and then its just a tongue tied mess when I actually try to verbalize whatever the gently caress name i am trying to get out. It's just that guy, nobody else. If I watched more stuff he was in I'd probably get it right.
