The Batman General News & Discussion Thread - Part 2

That was so good it made me rewatch the movie last night. :funny:

Makes me think if they'll use another Nirvana song for the sequel or not.

Nah, as I've said before I want Something in the Way to become the Extreme Ways of Batman. It's too good and too fitting not to, it could practically be Batman's anthem at this point
 
Rewatching right now and I’ve gotta say, I admire the irony of both Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard playing members of Gotham City’s District Attorney Office in two different continuities.
 
RIP Alan Grant.

i grew up on his batman comics during the 90s.
him + breyfogle defined the 90s era batman for me.

His retelling of Batman's origin story in Shadow of the Bat #0 should be mandatory reading. It encapsulates so much of what makes the character great in my eyes.
 
riddler year one comic looks good.
got that dave mckean vibe in the artwook.
 
Reeves is totally gonna bring the core cast back. The impression I get is that Catwoman, Penguin, Riddler, and Joker are going to be mainstays of the Batverse and appear continuously throughout the films/shows in either minor or major roles.
 
It’s better than most of the floating head CBM posters we get nowadays, I’ll say that

Definitely.

I was tempted to say that movie posters are becoming a lost art, but the truth is simply that studios have stopped seeking out the talent and work that many artists can offer.

Even without mentioning Mondo, a quick search on the internet turns up so many alternative visuals that it's even more infuriating that most films end up with, objectively, unprofessional and sometimes even incompetent Photoshop edits.

The worst of all is probably art found on merchandising. Like on t-shirts, diaries, packaging, etc. Pure laziness. And without wanting to make an argument from authority, I can say that most of these would have been judged too poor even for a casual graphic design school exercise. At least 15 years ago.

Sorry for that "old fart" type of post. This will probably become my main one type anyway... :funny:
