[fangrl06]

[Super_Ludacris]

All the time but not intentionally. Just pointless then.

 

[fangrl06]

oh, I didn't do it intentionally either, it was just funny as hell to see him worked up.

[ToddIsDead]

I don't think she really cares. She was just trying to get a rise out of us.

 

[CConn]

I think that's exactly what CCB wants her to do.

 

[ToddIsDead]

Oh, I see...

 

[CConn]

Ah, the human sex gland. What will they think of next.

 

[ToddIsDead]

The original Batman was meant to be a dark and menacing character. He killed criminals, casually gunning them down or breaking their necks without remorse. Initially he even had problems with the police who viewed him as a nuisance.

Humor was not a major element. The appearance of such can be attributed from today's perspective. What was intended to be menacing in the late 30's/early 40's can easily be construed as campy/humorous today. The decision to include lighter fare later on was made to make the character more relateable to the it's audience of children (good relations with the police, Robin, more comic relief).

Bob Kane and Bill Finger stylized Batman on the old pulp magazines that were grim and lacking in humor. When the became clear that the character was a success, it underwent certain changes to maximize popularity. It's documented that Kane regretted the disappearance of the solitary and sinister Batman of the early days.

No way did Batman start out light-hearted, nor should he be portrayed that way.

edit: I wrote this awhile ago and now see that it wasn't necessary. Damn delayed loading.

 

[CConn]

But it was excellently put.

God dammit, I forgot the L.

 

[Mister J]

God dammit, I forgot the L.

Penny Marshall would be upset with you.

 

[LexCorp]

Batman Begins I belive to be better for me. I am not a child so "The Batman" can not appeal to even my most childish expectations.

 

[nite-owl]

Actually...I don't really care. I just like to piss fanboys off. Beats homework.

So basically your a troll.

 

[LexCorp]

So basically your a troll.

Haha nice sig.

 

[nite-owl]

Haha nice sig.

Thank you.

 

[LexCorp]

I said it before and I say it now:
The Batman = Jackie Chan Adventures
Batman Begins = A night with Jessica Alba

 

[nite-owl]

I know someone who thought Jackie Chan did his own in the cartoon.

 

[LexCorp]

I know someone who thought Jackie Chan did his own in the cartoon.

[Super_Ludacris]

His own drawings?

 

[LexCorp]

His own drawings?

Super Lud my avatar wants to zap your avatar on the butt!!!!

 

[nite-owl]

You mean his own voice?

Yes.

 

[Shawn Wayne]
