Open Source Idiom posted:This is not the tone I thought they'd go with. Lindelof and comedy isn't my bag, but at the same time this looks like it's going to be an entire series made out of the Eccelston episodes of The Leftovers, but with an upbeat pop mood. I could vibe with that.

I feel like “Nun fights baddy Alexa” would kinda have to be comedic tbh

I'm watching The Sopranos for the first time. It's good, idk why I didn't pick this up sooner. A lot funnier than I thought it'd be.

On top of being an incredible drama filled with spectacular performances, The Sopranos is also an extraordinarily funny show! Enjoy it, you're in for an absolute treat

Sopranos is mostly a good time, you'll have a blast. I mean, relatively speaking a "good" time, but you get what I mean.

So in this one Batman is an old man but Harvey Dent isn't Two-Face yet. And they invented a new protagonist teen character, I guess that's because Batman famously has no teen sidekicks they could use.

To be more specific, Batman doesn't have any teen sidekicks who don't know he's Batman. The hook for the show is Bruce Wayne adopted an orphan, and didn't turn the kid into a child soldier. Instead, he recruited Carrie Kelley who figured out he was Batman all on her own

Luvcow posted:in other forgotten series news: Its more of the same. The actress for Tourmaline is the only bright spot. Cara delevingne is physically incapable of having chemistry with anyone as an actress. The creature design for the Sparas is genuinely horrifying though.

I have no idea why people think Batman is so interesting we have to have multiple films and tv shows constantly in production.

If you look at comic sales charts over the last few years, you're going to see nothing but Marvel books broken up by a couple of Batman books. He's far and away the most popular DC character and probably the mot popular comicbook character in the world.

My two year old daughter has started playing Batman with a kid at daycare and she's never even heard of Batman before! She does like The Incredibles a lot though.

Prior to the MCU exploding, my friend and I speculated, that if you asked any rando off the street to name a superhero, it would be Superman, Batman, or Spiderman, in that order. Batman seems to just be a draw by being not actually superpowered except by money

I believe it's because Batman is cool. His look, his style, his whole deal, is appealing. To people.

Iron Crowned posted:Prior to the MCU exploding, my friend and I speculated, that if you asked any rando off the street to name a superhero, it would be Superman, Batman, or Spiderman, in that order. It helps that for a while there in the 90's, he was the only super hero getting movies. Superman movies had died out, and the MCU hadn't started, but Batman movies kept chugging along (even if they started getting bad). And we had BTAS. The 90's deeply ingrained Batman in a lot of people's minds as THE superhero of note. Also, while it's a cliche to say it, it is true that it helps that he has the most interesting group of villains in comic books. Superman has a handful of great villains, and I think Spider-Man comes the closest to Batman, but not really there. But that's the list you posted right there, and part of why they're the most popular. A hero's gotta fight against someone, and if you ask someone to name 5 Batman villains, most people will be able to do so easily. Ask someone to name 5 X-Men villains, and you'll get Magneto (and maybe Juggernaut), and then most people will struggle to fill out the list. Batman villains are mostly interesting in a way that isn't just "palette swapped hero". thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Mar 15, 2023 |

it is because batman looks cool and because the weapons are things like gadgets, bombs and guns and the crimes are murder and theft vs energy blasts and the fate of the multiverse or whatever. that's why the villains are better, too, because they have to do something more interesting than be really strong since batman can't really fight a god. i don't watch superhero stuff but i watch batman movies. probably true for a lot of people.

Gotham City is also a better setting than most other superhero stories.

I was going to say that surely Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck has to be up there in popular comic book characters, but I guess they don't really engender the kind of... Passion that Batman, or other super power folks, do.

Like he can predict punches a few second before they're thrown. e: Did the whole ninja batstory come from either Batman Begins and/or comics from that time? Or was it established canon before then?

There's a batman so evil he destroys several universes. I think there's some where Batman goes through various eras of the past as some weird semi immortal and eventually becomes his own dad or son or some poo poo idk, weird wiki dives blur together over time. I do know that the good Batman cartoon from the 90s had Bruce Wayne train in Japan to learn martial arts and stuff, I think would've included "ninja" stuff too. It wasn't ras al ghul I don't think, but he does fight with his former mentor who gets up to evil in gotham.
