The guy who was contracted to write it had writer's block until he got inspiration from Rick Hansen's Man In Motion world tour, Hansen being a Paralympic athlete who was wheelchairing through 30-plus countries and 40,000 km to raise funding for paralysis research and awareness for accessibility issues.

Brazilianpeanutwar posted:Because Nolan sucks. I like Nolan's films for the most part. It just seemed like a weird decision and a strange direction to go in when he created such a compelling Gotham right out of the gate. My biggest gripe with Chris Nolan is his god damned sound mixing. EDIT Holy poo poo I didn't know Shumacher directed those Grisham movies. Agree that his Gotham was great. BiggerBoat has a new favorite as of 23:35 on Jul 21, 2021 |

The Freeze episode of TAS was possibly the best one. "Heart of Ice"?

The way they handle Freeze in the Harley Quinn show is pretty drat funny. Then again, the whole show is excellent.

Batman and Robin's main flaw is that it didn't lean into the realm of ridiculous camp nearly hard enough. It's still not a 'good' movie, but is legit enjoyable in the right frame of mind and infinitely more watchable than Forever which was ruined by a lot of things but first and foremost by Jim Carrey.

Jim Carrey kind of makes sense to me, especially with how popular he was in the 90s. Tommy Lee Jones was inexplicable thought.

His choice for the character was probably inevitable given his popularity at the time, but his performance and the direction (or lack thereof) he was given was inexcusably wretched.

There was some great story about why Billy Dee Williams wasn't cast as Two-Face in Batman Forever, but damned if I can remember what it was.

The best part about Batman Forever is that Two Face's assistants-girlfriends know the identity of Batman and are left alive and free at the end of the movie and everyone forgets about it.

The reason Tommy Lee Jones got the part in Batman is that the year before he'd been the villain in Blown Away, and like two years before that he was the villain in Under Siege. So he was seen as a guy who could do these Jokerish type villain roles(and he basically just said gently caress Two-Face I'm just gonna be the Joker and nobody stopped him).

I'm salty that we haven't gotten a Tintin sequel in 10 years because Mars Meets Mom killed the Mocap movie, Spielberg did Ready player One, and Peter Jackson hasn't done any tentpoles since the dreadful Hobbit movies. The sticky-plaster gag belongs on the big-screen.

It’s hilarious that Tommy Lee Jones said that to him when his performance in Forever was basically trying to match Carey in every scene.

I love that movie and watch it every so often, the CG still looks incredible and it's such a fun flick. That tank scene is brilliant.

Batman trivia that i know off the top of my head : As it’s been said Marlon wayans was going to be Robin,around the time of Batman returns (or maybe even Batman 89) there were even storyboards of Robins introductory scene and they went as far as making wayans Robin action figures (which later got repainted into the animated series Robin toys). If i remember correctly wayans might have even had a suit fitting at one point.
