Bust Rodd posted:I can respect that if you’re really into the character and like having Bruce be smooth. I thought a Batman movie with hardly any Bruce Wayne was a really novel approach. Really drives home that Bruce just IS Batman. One of the things Marvel movies have shown is that you actually don’t need to spend ANY time on the hero’s “secret identity” because it turns out that’s not what a lot of audiences are going to big super hero action movies for. But certainly that leaves the people who really need Batman to be charming and gently caress a lot in the cold. I always thought those parts of Batman sucked. who in this thread are you imagining said they wanted a smooth horny batman who fucks a lot?

Don't worry, Florence is on the forums right now reading Sagebrush's posts and realising she can't date who she wants and that the issue with younger/older relationships isn't actually due to the normal power dynamic at play and she loves the wrong man. I'm pretty sure she is buying a ticket to whatever extremely obese Midwest suburb Sagebrush lives in right now to start dating them.

I think  I mean as I understand it, the superhero secret identity problem is just the tension of leading a double life to do some good, while protecting their loved ones, and so on. Of course it’s hard to get that balance right, so why not go full punchyman for modern sophisticated audiences who know what they want (big action and blue lasers) But thinking about it more, I’m down for a Bruce Wayne movie where he fucks a lot

I guess if you wanted a Batman that's a 7 foot tall orc, I could see why The Batman would be a disappointment, but I think the movie showed that Batman doesn't need to be a strong, handsome green orc man with rippling muscles and a loincloth and tusks. I never thought of it this way but that's pretty unfortunate for people who want to kiss orc Batman and imagine falling asleep to his rhythmic breathing with their heads rested on his broad, hairy chest

It’s great when 2 straw men just yell at each other, you guys are made for each other I did miss the Bruce parts, it was pretty funny when they do kinda reference it because it makes no sense. “Oh, it’s the Prince of Gotham!” What, this sad NEET? How? I don’t get the complaint about Batman being bulletproof though; he’s almost always bulletproof, even back in ‘89 Movie felt LONG and I didn’t care about anything by the end, kinda ruined the scenes I did like after the fact

Bruce Wayne just exists to explain where Batmans money comes from and what he does when he's not jacking off in the bat cave, and occasionally he discovers plot points at a party. Arkham Asylum worked fine without Bruce for like 40 hours, a movie can do without him for 90 minutes.

I liked the film’s take that there is really no ‘Bruce Wayne’ at this point in time, because he’s super hosed up and only does Batman stuff. That changes by the end so I imagine we get more regular Bruce Wayne scenes in the sequel.

My dad's a comic fan from way back, and I remember him complaining once about the Tim Burton movies having too much Bruce and not enough Batman. Pattman's Bruce actually reminded me a lot of Michael Keaton's reclusive weirdo version, which I liked. Overall I did like The Batman, though more than anything it did put me in the mood to watch the 60s Batman.

I respect that. no, Michael Keaton played him like a weirdo recluse iirc he was portrayed as uncomfortable with his wealth and kind of a psycho have you watched the Burton films recently? like there's the scene where he's having dinner with kim bassinger, and they're awkwardly sitting at opposite ends of this huge banquet table in a dimly lit dining room? he's making small talk like asking her if she had a hard time "finding the house" (his gigantic, famous mansion) before admitting he's never even been in that room before and she says something like "this big house isn't really 'you', is it?" and he evasively says "... some of it is." (like... referring to the cave) and like he sleeps upside-down and there's the famous "wanna get nuts" scene it's a good performance, he did some interesting things with it my friends and I went to see it at a midnight movie screening ~8 years ago and I was pleasantly surprised because in my mind I'd kind of filed Batman in those movies away as being the least important part of his own films, because they always made such a big deal about the villains I guess he did gently caress though. that's not the dot I would have connected but he did gently caress. no getting around that

I respect that. Every single one of the "debonair playboy" portrayals of Bruce Wayne don't hold a candle to the sexual tension between Pattinson's Batman and Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman. Keaton's Batman and Pfeiffer's Catwoman come the closest, but even that is a distant second. That kind of sexual tension is actual "this guy fucks" energy. Things like Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne showing up to a fancy restaurant with two models on his arm is what a 13 years old boy thinks "this guy fucks" energy is like. Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:That’s not… that’s not what Bruce Wayne is about? I think The Patman makes it pretty clear in the text of the film that Batman is loving up by focusing on beating up gangsters and not doing more as Bruce Wayne. Aside from the climax of the whole film, there are other moments littered throughout the movie. For example, the specific Bruce Wayne task that we see him avoid doing is meeting with the accountants. Then we learn later that the Wayne Renewal Fund is being used to launder all of the city's dirty money. If Bruce Wayne had been paying more attention to that over the last two years instead of being Batman, there's a good chance he could have put a stop to a lot of corruption before The Riddler ever showed up.

I mean, in the movie it's pretty clear that Bruce Wayne is putting on a show of being a "billionaire playboy" and isn't even slightly interested in the women who are being his arm candy. But clearly a lot of people don't get that, though, based on the complaints ITT.

Is it legal? Are they adults? Do you like Star Wars? If you give a poo poo about what adults consent to do, are an adult, and like Star Wars then you probably need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

TIP posted:the batman was amazing, very exciting to end the movie with batman fighting a few losers from the internet and then saving people from knee high water Quantum of Phallus posted:I found it ridiculously grim though, when everyone started drowning at the end and then the incels arrived to shoot them I thought it was too much. There was loads of kids at my screening lmao I just got back from seeing The Batman, and I was surprised at how entertained I was and how well it was carrying the long runtime, only for the above to happen. The story the movie has been telling wraps up, and then an entirely new movie they didn't build up at all just kind of happens for another 30 minutes. It's like instead of being able to say "oh they could have cut this scene" or "they could have trimmed this subplot" here or there, they literally just threw all the extraneous cutting room floor crap together as the last act of the film. It was completely baffling.

anyone else watching this show 'from' on 'epix'? wow that's an embarassing sentence to type the name of the show is so stupid that it's impossible to search for online discussion even itt i kinda like it though. i'm a sucker for non-euclidian spaces you can't leave and monsters that pretend to be people to trick them and shows that aren't afriad to show gratuitous child gore because that means that absolutely anything can happen and usually to get that stuff would mean you'd have to put up some some absolutely dreadful characterization and bad dialogue and stupid plotlines but it's actually all pretty serviceable people make really annoying decisions for sure, especially the main dad character but he's such a stereotypical stephen king protagonist that it's kinda even amusing if you let it be some of the dialogue is pretty good too imo "it's just like schrödinger's cat" "what?" "it's a thought experiment, imagine you have a cat in a box with a radioactive is-" "obviously i know what loving schrödinger's cat is, what does that even have to do with anything?" honestly i'm enjoying it a lot more than midnight mass so far

I had a thought that I think this is the thread for: I was trying to think of examples of characters in established and consistent romantic relationships in 80s cartoons and it struck me that the only one was The Baroness and Destro. That can't be right, though, because that would mean the most visible hetero romantic coupling of 80s cartoons was between a German dominatrix and a dude in a gimp mask. edit: I'll specify 'kids cartoons' as the genre rather than all cartoons. Otherwise, yeah, Homer and Marge. JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Mar 20, 2022 |
