Fair enough sir. Although if you haven't seen it, I recommend it greatly. Although make sure you watch the PG-13 uncut version. Just a fantastic film
I bought it on DVD, gave it a try, it was competently made but like I said, they wasted my time on a Batman who isn't Bruce Wayne. I neither like the animated nor the comic book version of Batman Beyond. The entire concept is frankly 'beyond' me.
Somebody should go to jail for making up puns like that.
So you prefer the movies?
Nah, @Dimi would just escape anyway. ;)
I don't understand what you mean.
Generally speaking, I favour the Batman comics and graphic novels. But I was discussing Batman Beyond and I favour nothing that takes place in this spin-off universe, neither films nor comics.
Incidentally I would like to comment on Batman & Robin. It's overall one of the least enjoyable products in the Batman franchise but there are moments when I can ever so slightly appreciate some of the things it did. You see I grew up watching reruns of the old Adam West show. One thing I noticed while viewing B&R ten years later was how similar this film is to the 60s Batman in terms of its campiness and some of its actors going into overdrive. While I prefer the darker toned Batman over anything campy, I can find myself experiencing B&R as an homage to the Adam West days with some basic joy. Obviously they could have told Clooney to be more like Bruce Wayne and less like his TV series characters, they could have stripped those impractical fins off the Batmobile, they could have entered Batgirl more convincingly into the story, they could have dropped that fluorescent, post-modern motor cycle race thing altogether... Yes, there's a lot about B&R that offends the seasoned Batman comic reader. Not Arnold though. His performance was so over the top, I actually quite like it. He and Uma seem like the only two people in this film who are aware of the fact that its logic goes through the roof and they at least seem to be in on the joke, whereas everybody else actually seems to be taking their part pretty seriously. Arnold and his ridiculous lines, often delivered with a spine chill inducing effect, keep me going while watching this film. Kudos to Arnold for realising that one has to be pretty retarded when praising this film as a master piece. So he played his part with such an obvious awareness of its overall stupidity that he at least manages to put a smile on my face. He, and Uma.
Sorry for mispelling. I meant that, if you don't like Batman's comics or cartoons, i guess that you'd rather to watch or like the movies instead.
That depends upon the prison. I know a place that happens to be in another dimension. >:)
Fair enough that you tried it. I for one love the series and the film, but I can understand somebody who doesn't.
And fantastic pun by the way :)
How in the world is that possible?!?! Ahhh, my mind is pounding right now!
If you're being serious, go to the DCAU wiki (dcanimated.wikia.com) and look up the JLU episode "Epilogue". If you're not being serious: I wasn't sure that anyone else knew, okay?
That's okay. Sometimes, it can be difficult to tell what a person means just by what they type up on a monitor. It doesn't surprise me that you didn't know this, especially if you didn't get to see all of (or any of) JLU.
Yeah, I originally felt, "Oh, God, they went that way...", but now I feel that it was the perfect ending to Batman Beyond. I read on the DCAU wiki that it was originally the plan for a second Batman Beyond movie, but something about how Return of the Joker being too dark put a stop to it, so they used it for the JLU episode.
YES! There is a DLC pack with all the batman suits, new challenge maps, and the robin and nightwing DLC or $15 PSN dollars. Hell of a deal!
Havent got into the animated stuff too much myself but am a big fan of the graphic novel stuff. Jeff Loeb probably my favourite writer - Long Halloween etc are top notch. But nothing comes close to Hush. Jim Lee's artwork is just phenomenal!
Nope lol, its a FREE discussion. Chatting and things like that. The topic by now is batman, so...
Nah. Hush's story was a little loose. My tops are The Dark Knight Returns(pure Frank Miller awesomeness), The Long Halloween(a damn good mystery), and Year One(another Frank Miller, but an origin story). I also enjoyed Joker, by Brian Azzarello and great art by Lee Bermejo. The Killing Joke is stellar, and the perfect portrait of the Joker, and by Alan Moore, one of the greatest writers and the writer of my bible(Watchmen).
There should be a bloody smiley face emoticon on MI6!
Ps. Totally agree about Alan Moore.
I refuse to read The Dark Knight Strikes Again. Utter trash, and Frank did it only to silence fans who wanted a sequel to The Dark Knight Returns. Bet they're happy they whined now(sarcasm). The evidence is there. Frank's art style in TDK Strikes Again was trash, like he didn't care how it looked(quite likely), and it looks like a scribbled mess. His art in TDKR was brilliant, when he cared for the project. In my mind, TDK SA never existed.
I wish I could do that, too, but since I know about it, it can't go away (the same thing happens to me with the Metal Gear series [which I love] and Snake's Revenge [which is abysmal]), and I had to read it. It has the stupidest story of any of Frank Miller's Batman works (and with Spawn/Batman being in there, that's saying something), the worst art (not counting some of Miller's covers to All Star Batman and Robin) and just the worst presentation.
That said, there are things I like about it. Superman and Wonder Woman's daughter (who's name escapes me) is well thought-out, and pretty attractive. Dick Grayson being the bad guy is cool (and unexpected). Those are the two things I liked about it.
