Sylvester Stallone Blames 'Batman' For Today's Action Hero Weaklings
Sylvester Stallone has blasted the lack of brawn in today's action heroes and blames 1989 movie Batman for allowing actors to wear latex muscles rather than work out in the gym. Stallone, who starred in a series of muscle bound action films during the 1980s, believes those films are things of the past because special effects can enhance you into a rippling hunk within minutes.
He says, "I think the evolution has been startling. I believe the culprit in the transformation of action films can be traced to Batman starring Michael Keaton. By that I mean, when an individual can step into a latex suit bulging with muscles and Velcro himself into an action star body we knew the times they were a-changing.
"It's tough enough to go to the gym and stay in good shape, but when you have the option to step into a Herculean Halloween costume; working out doesn't look like much fun. Damn you, Batman."

Since when does going to the gym have ANYthing to do with acting?raybia said:He just saying that there is a lack of appreciation of all the hard work actors put in at the Gym and I agree.
Exactly.ANTHONYNASTI said:Pfft, B89 proved you didn't need a big dumb accent or rediculously oversized bulging pectorials to be a convincing hero.
No, he isn't brain damaged, genius. He has nerve damage on his face from complications during birth.Wait isn't Stallone brain damaged or something? Who cares what he says he's a rich invalid.
Rocky Balboa was a great goddamned movie.

Furthermore, the response from certain people here is ridiculous. In the AICN Q&A--where the4se comments originated--he was asked about the evolution in action movies (the move away from people like himself and Schwarzenegger towards more Average Joe heroes) and answered the question by referencing what he thought initiated the change. He didn't insult Batman, Keaton, or anyone else, but all you children are getting your panties in a wad and bleating "STUPID STALLON, U KNOW NOTHING! U TALK STOOPID!!1"
Get a grip. The man is an academy award nominee and, frankly, far more intelligent than people give him credit for. The only people who think he's a musclebound moron (read "half the people in this thread") are fools who can't see past his speech impediment.
