BvS Ben Affleck IS Batman - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 39

[The Guard]

It baffles me to no end how far some of you will go to defend these Snyderisms...

Occam's razor, people. Snyder meant for Robin to be a killer too.

Um, if we go by Occam's razor, Snyder probably just thought it looked cool.

 

[Deserana]

How does it describe Batman as non killing in the prequel?

I haven't read it.

 

[Flint Marko]

Snyder definitely just thought it looked cool.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Snyder definitely just thought it looked cool.

Bingo.

This is coming from the guy who said it would be a fun idea to have Jimmy Olsen cameo only to kill him off.

Hell they should have just had Jenny be Jimmy Olsen in the DCEU and that would have been better.

 

[Baneis8feettall]

It doesn't mean he killed people but most likely. How's that even a good weapon for combat since Robin is only a human and not god like being?

It doesn't look comfortable to walk with.

 

[shauner111]

It's not confirmation that he's a killer. But there is a huge possibility.

It doesn't look convenient at all. Again, Zack probably thought it looked badass..

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

It doesn't look comfortable to walk with.

And don't forget, Robin has short shorts.

okay, i have to ask : what is the point of the poll if the poll is closed ? this is the 39th verison of this thread. it should be gone by now, lmao.

So y'all really just gonna ignore this, then ? K

 

[Omegabat]

My main issue with that thing is that it doesn't look cool at all, it's just so random, might as well have given him a mace too while we're at it. It just doesn't fit the personality that the costume generates. It's literally like Superman carrying a bazooka, man Snyder doesn't think at all does he?

 

[regwec]

You only see its handle, and then for a fleeting moment, in the movie. This is ridiculous.

Speaking for myself, it's not about the actual halberd, but just more reason to believe Snyder has no clue what to do with these iconic characters.

Whether he's trying to "grow up" the characters, doesn't understand their most important aspects, or just wants to make things look "cool", it's obvious that he's not suited to be leading the DC cinematic universe.

I imagine others dismayed by Robin's choice of weapon (whether it made it into the movie or not), feel the same.

 

[Travesty]

I love how for almost a year, we've all seen that weapon in the Robin case, and nobody said a thing. Fast forward to today, and now everybody acts like they're experts in 14th century weapons.

That's something most people here can agree on, I'd say. I don't particularly find the weapon to be problematic, but I do find it indicative of Snyder's creative choices as a whole. "It'd be cool if..."

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Although ive never had a problem with it. Itd be better if it was an electric prod on the end. Imo.

 

[FunkMiller]

Today's cool is tomorrow's cheese, daddio.

We should be going for timeless here, not flavour of the month.

But then, Zack loves his flavour of the month, doesn't he?

 

[Baneis8feettall]

Even though i'm absolutely against killer Batman, I don't think most of the people do give a damn about his "no killing" rule.

 

[Knight-Tale]

Most people don't really seem to care since this Batman was so good in many other aspects and basically adhered to the comic book unlike the previous incarnations.

 

[Bren]

Especially his investigating skills and general intelligence, right

 

[regwec]

Eh, it was better than anything that has come before.

 

[Slade W]

Bale's Batman was accurate to the comics, and was more intelligent and a better investigator than Affleck's. It is still early days for Batfleck though.

 

[regwec]

I missed the comics where Batman machine gunned his enemies from the skies, or indeed those where he was trained as a ninja by Ra's al Ghul. I forget those where Lucius Fox was Batman's brain.

I have faith that you, unlike Snyder, can look a little deeper than that.

Then you'll see that Bale was Batman through and through.

Someone get Batlobster in here.

 

[Slade W]

You forgot Rachel Dawes too. This is the "he isn't like the comics, because in the comics he never did x, y or z" argument. Basically, it is just focusing on the differences from the comics, as if that invalidates everything that is accurate and true to the comics. You could do the same with Batfleck if you wanted. Nolan and co got the spirit of Batman very right, and the source material was very much respected. This isn't surprising though, there are people who say that Ledger's Joker wasn't accurate to the comics too.

 

[The Joker]

Most people don't really seem to care since this Batman was so good in many other aspects and basically adhered to the comic book unlike the previous incarnations.

Apart from the aesthetic look, this Batman was so far from the comic book Batman. From being ineffectual as a detective, to his murderous nature, to his idiotic irrationality concerning Superman.

 

[Knight-Tale]

When the Flash time travels to tell you that you are right about Superman you don't have to worry about being wrong

Of course when you are competing with a Batman who murder's people and an incompetent Batman who murder's people
Its not hard to see why people have embraced this Batman so much.
If this Batman was getting the reception of a GL then you'd have to wonder
