If I had to guess, it may be because Fox has a production credit on Batman and Disney now owns Fox and Disney is motherfucking Disney and would rather burn the film than play nice.

They had the rights situation worked out somewhat before the buy out, but at this point yeah, I bet there's almost zero chance we ever see it anywhere again and I wouldn't be surprised if the blu-rays go quietly out of print.

Unless Feige brings them back somehow. I mean, they were considering using Gabriel Luna as Ghost Rider for other projects.

The only cw showrunners I trust even a modicum are for Black Lightning and now The Flash. It took this many seasons (and coincidentally hiring a black showrunner) for us to see Candice Patton's curls on screen. He also said hey maybe it would be neat if we address what it was like for Barry growing up with a black family which I'm curious if they'll actually get to do or not lol Koalas March fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Nov 19, 2019 |

Alfred's got like a half dozen kids/grandkids/nieces etc. that are already white they could have just used instead for a reason as dumb as that.

I know a lot of people have gotten tired of BTAS defining the character, but I can't help it. When I see Batman, I hear Kevin Conroy. Which is funny because as I grow older, I kinda hate the way the animated series and Arkham games characterize Batman.

Watch BTAS or Justice League or anything from that era, then look at the Arkham games or Injustice. He doesn't even differentiate between a Bruce Wayne voice or a Batman voice anymore, it's just exactly the same.

Which like, sure, angry is Batman's default state, but like you said, in the old stuff he would crack a one-liner now and then.

Is that necessarily because he can't, or because it's a different kind of Batman in those games though?

Yeah, the Arkham games might legitimately be my least favorite interpretation of the overall mythos. It's cool aesthetically, I guess, but any deeper than that you run into huge problems. Like, I completely reject the 100% ending of Arkham Knight due to how thoroughly antithetical it is to what I believe is important both in real life and about Batman as a character.

Kevin Conroy also hasn't really done the separate Bruce Wayne voice since New Adventures started airing. That show seemed to want Bruce Wayne to just look and sound like Batman in a poor civilian disguise, and that's kinda where he's been ever since, at least in the material I've seen. I don't know if Conroy has any input on that at all, but I sure have opinions about it.

Like he gets a ton of cred for his party boy Bruce voice versus his crime fighting Batman voice but it goes even deeper.

Sgt. Politeness posted:Could you elaborate in spoilers? I feel like in order for me to get on board with the premise that it's okay for Bruce Wayne to wear a costume to brutalize the mentally ill, I have to first know that he's trying to address the problem in other ways. Like, philanthropy is mainly used for tax dodging in real life, I know that, but I can dream up some ideal world where Bruce Wayne is giving substantial sums back to the community and using it to fund mental healthcare and education programs. Basically, I feel like I need the acknowledgment that Bruce Wayne and Batman are both necessary halves of the solution if Batman has to exist at all. But Arkham Knight ends with Bruce Wayne, identity revealed, killing off that persona and becoming Batman entirely. It feels like it's saying that Batman's secret identity was just an inconvenience, that Batman was the true identity all along, and that the human being Bruce Wayne was never an important asset. I hate it. I hate Arkham Knight.

Nah, he's still got it in New Adventures (or... okay, in STAS, but whatever, they aired at the same time) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe0gt60rNHI TNBA just had less Bruce overall, iirc, and focused more on Bat-adventures.

Scenes such as Bruce with Leslie or when he was with Matthew Thorne asking about his parents felt more like the real Bruce. I just reject the whole idea of Bruce being Batman all the time of he could. Playboy Bruce, business Bruce, and Batman should all be different aspects of one person.

I guess the persona of Batman(scary theatrics) and the persona of Bruce(idiot playboy) are tools to accomplish his agenda and he's only really himself when he's with family. Basically Batman be frontin' Arist posted:I hate Arkham Knight. I absolutely agree with your point.

Yeah, I dislike the Bruce is the mask poo poo too. One of my favorite things from Batman Begins was how Bruce kept trying to say that Bruce Wayne wasn't important throughout the movie, but then he finds out from Ras that his family was fighting the League too, because they'd tried attacking Gotham with economics. Sounds cheesy but I thought it did well in adding weight to the family legacy and making Bruce and Batman be more of a "two fronts" thing than a "In my mind, I don't call myself that" thing.

Bruce being the mask doesn't bother me that much. I just think the DCAU Batman interpretation (that bled so hard into Arkham stuff) is so cynical that it bothers me. Like the Batman Beyond Bruce who dies old and alone because only his weird bio kid can stand to be around him is oof. I liked Young Justice Batman. He was still Batman, but like the people around him seemed to like him and you can understand how he might have like 10 sidekicks and be involved with 3 or 4 teams. Wolverine is the same way. Like you have to write him gruff, but if he's an outright rear end in a top hat all the time, you missed the mark. Blockhouse posted:Conroy's biggest problem is he can't really do the voice anymore. Watch BTAS or Justice League or anything from that era, then look at the Arkham games or Injustice. He doesn't even differentiate between a Bruce Wayne voice or a Batman voice anymore, it's just exactly the same. Idk if he can't do it so much as he isn't being asked to. Which is a shame really.
