How could Burton's Gotham have been improved?

[Catman]

Besides TAS wasn't perfect. t:

Fixed.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

I honestly don't know how that's supposed to be funny.

 

[K.B.]

I really liked that episode and the Bill Finger segment had me wishing for a Batman cartoon like it to be real. Y'know just a fun little half hour of animation that makes you feel like a kid again and you really just have fun and don't over analyze things....sigh.....I miss the good old days.

Thats EXACTLY what I was talking about

The old filmation/hanna barbera shows rocked.

Man, It's Family Guy. Nobody knows how.

 

[Catman]

Yea, but that show had Bat Mite.

 

[K.B.]

And? Whats your point? It was still a fun show.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I'd love to see them adapt the full graphic novel in a straight-to-DVD animated film.

 

[Darkest Knight]

*sigh*

Oh for god's sake...

In the books the Waynes were murdered in a front of a theatre IN PARK ROW...after their murder the neighborhood became the seediest and most crime infested fixture in Gotham, and was given the nickname "Crime Alley"

Yeah, I understand that ... what's your point?

In "Begins" what's the seediest and most crime infested fixture? "The Narrows"

Not neccessarily. Where does it say the Narrows is the "seediest" fixture of crime? It's probably one of the many neighborhoods that is seedy, but no where does it say exactly it is the "seediest, most crime infested fixture" ... many cities have MULTIPLE ghettos, housing projects, and areas to a city where it is completely unsafe to go to. This is just an extension of that.

... but in the comics it's "Crime Alley" meaning that that's what it should've been called...

No, you're making an assumption ... then judging against it as so. In the Burton films it wasn't callec "crime alley". Even though that is IMO terribly cheesy. It makes you think it is just ONE alley of crime. The Narrows is a whole small island of despair, surrounding the wicked structure known as Arkham Asylum. The Wayne's in BB weren't murdered in the Narrows. So once again, you're wrong. You're on your jump to conclusions mat to try and make BEGINS look bad. But seriously, if you're in defense of crime alley? Where is the lack of its mentioning in the previous four movies? Or how about an even bigger, more mounmental plot change such as ... the Joker killing the Waynes, which alters the mix of the story all together.

I'm beginning to wonder if Bat-Hypsters even READ the comics...

I'm beginning to wonder if you understand what you watch, or you make up stores while watching one of these comic movies.

This is a giant semantic argument. They got shot in one of the worst places in Gotham in regards to crime, no matter what different filmmakers have called it. I've never really put much thought into it since the real important thing is that Bruce witnessed their murder. That's the important aspect.

 

[Rockbottom]

I'd love to see them adapt the full graphic novel in a straight-to-DVD animated film.

I'd love for it to happen if they redesigned Batman's model, everything else was great. Well maybe change the mutant leaders voice

 

[Mr. LOL]

That B:TAS episode was damn incredible. The one w/ the three different version of Batman. Oh, and by far and away the 50's / 60's style Batman mini from that episode ... was corny, yes ... but that Joker in that style looked even more frightening than the regular Joker from that series. Anyone got a screen cap?

 

[Noir]

I loved B:TAS but I hated the god damn Art-Deco look

 

[Catman]

And? Whats your point?

Bat Mite sucked! He's the Scappy Doo of the Batman franchise.

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

I loved B:TAS but I hated the god damn Art-Deco look

Really? Wow. I thought that was one of the main components that made the series.


I would love to see Antons 89 designs made into animated form for a series.

You seriously have no appreciation of architecture.

 

[BubbaGump]

double post

 

[El Payaso]

Mh. Some of those building just look like a damn 1930's radios.

 

[CFE]

In the end, the TAS Gotham will always be king

CFE

 

[Noir]

You seriously have no appreciation of architecture.

I'd rather see some modern buildings though. The city looks like the one from Equlibrium.

Its very fascist Art-Deco. Plus Schumacher made pleanty of use with the 30s style cars/buildings.

Meh...it was still a fun show

And I would love to see Bat-mite in a batman movie done just like they did Scrappy in Scooby doo..peeing on Batman.... "C'mon..you don't got the scrot!" and sexually harrassing Batgirl....it'd be awesome lol

 

[Mr. Socko]

Burton had the right mindset for Gotham, anyone else just love the color palette. You could tell the tone of his films, of his Gotham, just by looking at the posters.

Just the blue tones and very dark colors. It had a very surreal feel to it. Ironically, Nolan did the exact same thing. Every poster of Batman Begins had a very dark brown color to it, and that's exactly how his Gotham appeared at night. The effect in Begins, on the other hand IMO, just made Gotham look dusty, gritty, and not in the good sense.

 

[K.B.]

Yeah Nolans Gotham was just bad...Gotham should look grey not brown.
