The Dark Knight The Realism Debate thread

yeah, bright, dude...do your homework, man

LOL!t:

I still have yet to see that movie. Most of the time I stay away from movies were like minded people say that their garbage. In this case my curiousity keeps getting to me, just to see if it is that bad. I know I'll be kicking myself in the ass later if I do though.

Dude, it's so bad. You can't even drink this movie funny.

The direction is over the top, which makes it pretentiously bad.

Which is a worse form of bad.

I could see him using an umbrella for a weapon

 

[bobguy64]

This has been another installment of "Know Your Penguin".

[CaptainClown]

The penguin would walk 4 blocks to get sustenance

 

[Mr. Socko]

He only wears that get-up predominantly because of the 60's Batman...

Is that really a precedent you want to set?

Yes. Penguin should always have the top hat, long cigar, monocle, umbrella and tux. Even the 60s show and Burton's version got that right.

 

[CaptainClown]

Penguin out of all the villains seems the most realistic. I mean except I would doubt he likes being called Penguin so its a kind of mocking him

 

[Mr. Socko]

You should, he's always used an umbrella for a weapon. Why would you not see it?

I think that's how it was in his backstory from the comics. Kids at school gave him the nickname so he hates it when Bats or his goons refer to him as Penguin. From what I can remember at least.

The more I watch Batman Returns, the more I think that Penguin is amazing, Hes such a creepy and evil bastard, he wants to take all the children from Gotham for Christ sake.

 

[CaptainClown]

ya.. Penguin is alright in my book now if you want to have difficulty creating a villain to screen try man-bat I'm stuck with that guy no matter how i look at it he is the h ardest

Suprisingly, they kind of did it on the Batman Forever extended DVD.

I liked Burton's take on Penguin, but for everything else I think he works better as a minor character, a crime lord like The Roman.

What did they have on the extended DVD?

 

[Bright Knight]

Yes. Penguin should always have the top hat, long cigar, monocle, umbrella and tux. Even the 60s show and Burton's version got that right.

But that fasion wasn't uncommon in the 60's, nor was it unusual in the faux pre WW II Gotham that Burton made....

If Nolan was to create a modern Penguin, I'm sure he'd dress in classy clothes, just, sans the monocle and top hat, they're relics in today's world, unless he was in some broadway musical.... Oh! Now there's an idea?!

I know it's pedantics! But I actually prefer the idea of the Penguin being the nightclub owner... The criminal turned good? (ish)

I agree.

Oh God don't remind me of that! It looked so stupid and fake.

I never ever want to see Man-Bat on screen! NEVER.

 

[Yurka]

What did they have on the extended DVD?

They have like a dream sequence of Bruce (Val) standing face to face with a giant bat and the bat puts his arms up and it looks alright.

The "man-bat" is like 7 feet tall. I think it looks ok.

a man-bat cameo? Say it aint so?

 

[CaptainClown]

What as on the extended forever?

He could could wear a top hat and a monocle, I could see him have a love for late 1800 early 1900 antiques and thats what he has his goons steal to add to his collection.

ugh man-bat worst villain ever.

 

[bobguy64]

LOL! Actually, I expected to see Man-Bat in BB when Crane gets a taste of his own toxin.

I'm glad they went the other way, tho.

 

[bobguy64]

a man-bat cameo? Say it aint so?

Not really, just a man sized bat.

A deleted scene from Forever.

For good reason.

[bobguy64]

Killer Moth, anyone?
