Keanu learned all martial arts within seconds and didn't even need a CD, this Prometheus guy sounds like a loving joke imo

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Prometheus always loving sucked. From day 1. His gimmick doesn't even make sense. He "downloads" fighting styles? And somehow he "downloaded" Batman's fighting style? Where the gently caress did he get that from? Also there's absolutely nothing about him that is reminiscient of the greek mythology Prometheus so his name makes no sense either. Prometheus's criminal parents were shot and killed by the police and thus he vows to destroy JUSTICE. He goes to Why ask a stupid question about the technical specifics of how a person can download a fighting style like that isn't a silly thing noted superhero Neo would pass into the cultural consciousness a year after that story was published. You could be asking even dumber questions like oh how did this guy find and kill an alien buried in the Himalayas and steal his Cosmic Key (literally stealing knowledge from a god) that grants him unimaginable alien technology and lets him trap and murder people in a non-euclidean pocket dimension? He's just a goofy parody of 90s Image anti-heroes, christ look at his stupid rear end giant shoulder pads. He's great.

Y'all can argue all day whether Batman has killed or if even he's willing to kill but the truth you're all afraid to speak is Batman WILL go for the grapes you're completely okay with that. You make me sick.

Batman is very easy to forgive people he personally knows. Like Two-Face has straight up murdered a bunch of people over the course of his life and then he "reformed" and Batman let him basically be Batman in Gotham City for an entire year while he was off doin poo poo. Plot twist: he didn't actually reform. It never really made sense to me why he lets certain poo poo go. Bottom line: Catwoman should be goin straight to Arkham for Testicide

Batman defeats the villain by hacking his fighting style upload device so the villain downloads Stephen Hawkings fighting style. This then results in batman wailing on what is now essentially a paraplegic and apparently this is someone, somewhere's batman who BvS ruined

The MSJ posted:Did Batman cry, at least? See below. SolidSnakesBandana posted:The wettest fart of a comics panel. Probably one of my least favorite comics panels ever. It's one of the most tremendously awful plot-lines and the ending is just a complete nothing. I actually just did a double check because I assumed Jojo's similar put-people's-fighting-abilities-onto-a-loving-compact-disc power would have predated it but no, its looking like this is possibly the initial appearance of "download people's combat information into your brain" concept. Instead of spending any more time thinking about this shitawful comic where again, Batman savagely beats up a paraplegic and taunts him about it, think about how cool a Batman + stands comic would be. Spoilers: Bruce Wayne is actually Batman's stand. Barudak fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Aug 30, 2016 |

I'd like a Midnight v Prometheus fight where they get into an expository loop and have a schizoid embolism. "My name is the Midnight, and I've--" "Fought this fight a thousand times already thanks to my Battle helmet which reads your every move before you even--" Do you smell toast?

Once he removes the helmet, he no longer has any of the knowledge. He downloaded the fighting styles from some mysterious external source, perhaps an FTP server.

Given all the other nonsense they threw into those movies, I'm surprised the script never touched on the concept of the machines just loading nice subservient brains into infants so they never fight back. I guess the whole 'feeding humans over a lifetime so they can liquify them 80 years later for a lil energy" concept kind of falls apart when you breathe on it.

Clearly all this is because the Human As Batteries scenario itself is another layer of the Matrix because humans just ain't happy unless they have something to fight against while wearing black leather. It's Matrices all the way down.

One big issue in a lot of comics is that a lot of people have incredible pieces of technology but nobody ever shares. Somehow they are always the singular genius that invents these things. Kinda like the classic question of why doesn't every Avenger have an Iron Man suit?

Hulk wouldn't wear one because he is a rage-fueled monster, Thor wouldn't wear one because he's a snobbish god, Captain America doesn't get one because he is old and old people don't get technology.
