Age is a thing of...

[Rodrigo90]

An issue I brought up.

Since we're not getting a typical young Batman...

What do you guys think of that applying to every character and villain like in TDKReturns?

Two-Face having surgery. Joker being catatonic. Catwoman being an overweight alcoholic.

What do you guys think age should do to individual characters?

 

[Tacit Ronin]

What do I think? Finally, finally, finally, we are getting a comic book accurate Batman and his world. Hooraay!

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I think they mean older, not old. And certainly not The Dark Knight Returns-old.

So, yeah, if we got Batvillains using zimmerframes and forgetting where they left their dentures, I'd be a bit pissed off...

[Rodrigo90]

Uslan sums up my point

Bruce Wayne, maybe in his mid-forties, what's he going to be feeling? What's he going to be thinking? What does he have on his plate to deal with?"

What do you hope to see from other characters going through that same motion?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Oswald Cobblepot trying to fly straight is about all I've got at the moment.

 

[bluerayer]

An older Joker wouldn't be so bad. If we got someone like Willem Dafoe.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Yeah i see Two Face as being in his 40s, Catwoman in her mid 30s, Joker in his 50s, Riddler, Penguin and Freeze can be in their 40s or 50s

 

[Rodrigo90]

Catwoman would be more interesting if she had hit the milestone of 40. Her life coming at the crossroads. No longer her younger and vibrant self. Spends most of her days now living off her stolen wealth and sunning it up beside the pool with a drink in her hand.

 

[Rorschach2012]

that's actually much less interesting imo. i think you're the only one that wants to see a overweight alcoholic Catwoman

i want to see a full fledged Catwoman, just past the top of her game, maybe her skills have plateaued at this point, but i definitely don't want to see a Catwoman who is completely retired.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Bordering overweight and alcoholism

 

[Rorschach2012]

I'd rather see full fledged Catwoman.

Nolan's Selina was great, but her costume was lacking, i want a full on Catwoman, with a more comics accurate costume.

Geez, stop it. Your making me feel old..

40 Isn't the end of the road ya know.

 

[Rodrigo90]

But there must come a point when you hit that age and say
"I can't keep dressing up like a cat and keep stealing things forever, can I? I'm 40!"

Well, that's true. I don't do those things anymore...

 

[Rodrigo90]

You're never too old for anything

 

[bluerayer]

That's true i suppose. Still, my cat-burglar days are probably over...

 

[Rodrigo90]

Why no!

You've just lost your bottle! It can easily be found on a whimsical, humorous and life changing road trip

 

[bluerayer]

My bottle? I only drink, like, 2 times a year. Maybe a beer, now and then. I am going on a road trip this summer though. Going to Sweden Rock!
