The now NEW Official DC Stupid Questions thread: Didio Headaches - Part 1

[Charlie Boy]

Watched Batman Returns recently and one thing is bugging me: Where did the bad guys get the blueprints for the Batmobile?

I never thought of that... Hm.

 

[Spike_x1]

Funny enough, I just watched Batman Returns last night and realized for the first time that Batman kills more people than any of the villains in that movie.

 

[Spike_x1]

Did we ever find out what happened to Carmine Falcone's body? I know that [blackout]Two-Face had it frozen and hidden away in Dark Victory, but did anything happen to it after that? Or is it still chilling out down in the sewers for... whatever reason?[/blackout]

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Detective Comics 1 was released today.
I'm curious about a few things.

Where in the new timeline does this fit in? Does it take place before JL 1? If so, how long?
How many years has Bruce been Batman? Does this issue let a new reader jump right on in without previous knowledge of Batman?

 

[Anubis]

It takes place in the present.

He's been Batman roughly 10 years or so.

And I f**king guess so.

I think Croc uses it as a teddy bear now.

 

[DawnWarrior]

I decided that Bruce has been Batman for the last 15 years no matter what DC says, but with the Flashpoint reset, who knows.

 

[Kahoot]

I read Justice League International last night staring Booster Gold but there was no Skeets

What happened to Skeets?

 

[Anubis]

Rebooted out of existence.

Or getting a tune up.

 

[WompuM]

Booster without Skeets is like getting a squeezer with no ball-play.

I so hope it's option B. I love Skeets more than I love Booster Gold.

Batman's a murderous a**hole in all of his movies. It's kind of depressing when you think about what a big deal they make about his no-killing rule in the comics.

Not in the Adam West movie, unless you count the dehydrated goons evaporating after a hit "death". But then, were they ever really alive in the first place?

 

[Spike_x1]

Yeah, Keaton was pretty much just a badass killing machine. I won't say it's true to Batman, but it was fun to watch in the context of B89 and Returns. Still, it's pretty odd to think that his bodycount was higher than that of any of his villains (combined?).

 

[WompuM]

Now, it's never clear how many goons Batman blew up in that factory, nor is it established how many people Joker wiped out with the cosmetics and balloons. Ledger's Joker on the other hand seemed to have a clear body-count, unlilke the League in BB. But then again, how many ninjas died when Bruce blew up that League of Shadows fortress?

I was always under the impression that Bruce cleared the balloons outta there before anyone chugged enough of the gas to kick the bucket, since I don't think we ever saw any bodies and people were still wandering around the streets afterwards.

None. They're f***ing ninjas. They melt into the shadows and escape to fight another day, even if those shadows are created by face-melting explosions.

Except for that one guy that collapsed on Vicki's windshield. Looked pretty dead to me.

Umm...oh, gosh...er...what Earth is DCNU?

Looked like he was groaning and still alive to me. Kinda hard for dead people to randomly launch themselves onto a car's windshield, I think. If you're gonna collapse, I don't think you'd fling yourself onto a car. You'd just fall down.

I dunno. Your mileage may vary.

It's best not to think too hard about Batman Returns.

God knows I love it for the candy-striped goth fever dream that it is, but it's not the sturdiest house of cards.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

In fairness, it does have rocket-launching penguins. It's tough to get too mad at a movie that features rocket-launching penguins.

It is when the cute lil' guys don't get to demolish everyone and everything.

 

[Manic]

If those rocket launching penguins also danced and were narrated by Morgan Freeman, Batman Returns would be the greatest movie ever made. It'd also be eerily prophetic.

 

[KevanG]

You probably could overlay Morgan Freemans voice over some scenes where the penguins are running around.

Also, like above, Batman kinda kills everybody he doesn't like for whatever reason he chooses. It's kinda funny where if you look at the other media, he always goes on about no killing EVAR!!! But Batman and Returns he kills around 20 people.
