Don't Be A Dummy, Come Describe A Hype Member With A Gif! - - - - - - - - - Part 19

[C. Lee]

My problem with the old Batman show is that it was the wrong character for that kind of show. Batman should never inhabit a bright world, nor should he even smile. That's simply not his story. When Bale delivered the "Nice coat" line in Batman Begins, that was the perfect level of dry humor for Batman.

West's BATMAN was on TV in 1966.....I was reading BATMAN comics starting in 1963.....Batman was in a bright world in '63 to '66....Batman smiled in the comics in '63 to '66.....the series was reflective of the comics of it's time.

Your complaint reminds me of someone on here a few years ago....he said he had just watched Christopher Reeve's SUPERMAN THE MOVIE....and he was outraged at the makers for their portrayal of Lex Luthor....he said they totally ignored that Lex was a billionaire that controlled industries around the world. I and several others had to point out that billionaire Lex didn't show up in the comics for around another 10 years after the first movie was made .

But you can't explain why Harley Quinn was completely ignored in Batman 89.

You can thank the misplaced anger of parents and the Comics Code for the dramatic and unnecessary shifts in Batman's comic history. He's not the only one whose original concept and stories suffered because of short-sighted moralism.

And this isn't the place for me to go on about how terrible Hackman's Luthor is, but I could.

 

[Greens]

Yeah regardless of the comic history, Lex has been pretty lame in every movie.

Are you trying to school C Lee on comics history? Really?

 

[Lighthouse]

My favorite Flash is Jay Garrick. I love that he's kind of hokey. He's like if your awesome grandpa was a superhero. There is a place for heroes like those.

I feel bad because I like Lord and Miller, but I'm also relieved that it was just one of the spinoffs and not anything to do with The Last Jedi.

 

[Sawyer]

My post is basically half Lord/Miller news, half worry I've seen over IX because of Trevorrow.

Fixed.

 

[Sawyer]

lol true enough.

 

[Lantern Venom]

I agree. He's one of many DC characters who has been done so well in animation, but has a terrible live-action track record.

Well, it is a discussion board.

My favorite Flash is Jay Garrick. I love that he's kind of hokey. He's like if your awesome grandpa was a superhero. There is a place for heroes like those.

I agree, and I like light/funny stories as a palate cleanser every once in awhile. Yet there are some characters who should never be in that type of story, and Batman is one of them.

All that being said, I really don't want to get this thread off track any further. It's supposed to be a GIF thread. So, this is how I feel like reacting when I'm in a conversation about college football/baseball/basketball, and the "colleges should remove all sports" killjoy offers his or her unsolicited opinion:

Creepy...Just like her avvy

The Star Wars forum

Funny how all that faith in Kathy and Disney and LFL and the optimism just went poof and disappeared because the directors of a damn Han Solo spinoff quit. A spinoff that the fandom seemed nonchalant and indifferent about prior to this news. A spinoff that has at the very least a year of production left. Suddenly the fandom is acting like this spinoff is so so very important and that a film that is a year or more from release, a film being made by the most successful studio in the world, is beyond hope and the franchise is doooomed.

I could maybe understand this melodrama if it was Rian Johnson quitting Episode 8 six months before the film comes out. That would be genuinely distressing.

Oh it hasn't happened yet, I think...

Hopes are dashed. But I seriously wanna be there when it happens.

Yes. Both Lex and Lois haven't had a definitive performance on film yet, which for me is disappointing after all this time.

 

[I Am The Knight]

The STAS Lois and Lex were perfect.
