The Official Batman (1989) Thread - Part 4

[The Shape]

Batfleck shippers are saying that the Fleck is the first and only intimidating Batman. And while the Fleck is indeed intimidating, Keaton was very intimidating himself.

Agreed. Ignore those kinds of people.

Take a look at this beautiful piece of artwork.

I need this on my wall.

 

[Cain]

I want that face on the one dollar bill.

 

[Cain]

They said the same thing about Baleman, didn't they.

That they did.

Fanboys and hyperbolic ignorance go together like peaches and cream.

I like this one Bob leave it.

 

[Greens]

That Joker artwork is amazing.

I think everyone that is cast for a part in Batman should always be supported in what they’re doing.

While I may be new to the Batman lore and such, I’ve always enjoyed different portrayals, I do have a bias for the more faithful ones, but I’m always open to new versions of a character. One of the reasons I liked The Shining is because it deviated from the book.

I’m still kind of new to comics in general and I’m starting from the Golden Age comics then moving to the Silver Age. I’ve watched a lot of the movies including this one along with The Dark Knight trilogy and Batman Returns. I’ve watched the Animated Series and I’m going to start watching the Adam West Batman here soon.

So far, I’ve loved all the portrayals from Conroy to Bale, from Hamill to Ledger, and they’ve all pleased me. I don’t understand why people would bash other portrayals when Batman has such a long history, he’s changed so much from what I’ve seen.

Fanboys are funny, fickle creatures... Bale in, Keaton out. Affleck in, Bale out.

It's just the way it is.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Some new guy in, Affleck out...

 

[ShaneHelms]

Keaton Forever. Battfleck now.

I was never into Bale, so I'm good on this.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I thought Val was the Forever one.

 

[Two-Face]

Happy Birthday to Jack Nicholson aka Jack Napier/The Joker!

 

[ShaneHelms]

Indeed. Happy 78 Jack. Hope to have you for many more.

I'm not aware of fandom really turning on Bale. His grotty costume and the occasionally humorous tone of his Bat-voice come in for criticism, but they always have. I think the man himself was great in the role.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

They said the same thing about Baleman, didn't they.

Let's hope they don't turn on the new guy this time.


....Who am I kidding. I can see the future complaints now....

The Fleck is too old, we never got to see prime Batman, Bat-ben started out too old, we demand young, prime Batman!

Stupid claim on their part, but you could argue over time as we've watched the movies over time, they become less intimidating because we're used to them now.

That's one big ass coin.

 

[AnneFan]

That's one big ass coin.

It's a frisbee.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

He's a thumb wrestling champion.

 

[regwec]

That's a pretty great custom toy. It's amazing to think that a movie as massive as Batman was supported by just three action figures. Two of these were repainted Super Friends toys (Batman and The Joker), leaving just one original sculpt...Bob the Goon.

 

[Naked Shia]

I hope Bob the goon appears in batman v superman.

 

[Two-Face]

That's great but is this real though?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

It reminds me of the Mayor from Action League Now.

 

[ShaneHelms]

No, just a well made custom with a fantastic package design and concept.
