Completely agree. People are making too big of a deal about this, but then again, we're all pretty desperate for news at the moment.

He will probably own the team, bane knows this and blows up the stadium while Bruce is attending or something along those lines.

I never heard of or ever thought about sporting events taking place in a Batman Universe. Just like I never thought of skate parks, super markets, video stores or any other casual places like those being be shown in Batman films.

Most of my Batman experience comes from The Animated Series, and I distinctly remember a villain's plot (I think it was Scarecrow) centered around a football game. There was a whole showdown with Batman in the catacombs of the stadium or something like that as I recall. From what I can remember it was pretty cool, actually.

I wouldn't mind a sequence like that in TDKR. A change of scenery is always nice, imo.

Greg Rucka had the Gotham Knights hockey arena in his Gotham map from NML.

BTAS had a college football team the Scarecrow gassed...

Ok, I get what your saying now. But it sounded like from your original post you didn't think a football team was possible in the Batman universe, but I seemed to have misunderstood what you meant. But it's easy to think of all of those things you described being in the Batuniverse. A city is going to have a variety of things, and I expect Gotham to be no different.

i feel like the people arguing against a football scene just don't like football or sports in general.

Is that a bad thing?

kinda. you're already criticizing a scene that you haven't even watched yet because it involves something else you don't like.

 

[RedSkull]

I think it needs a ping pong scene.

I think it needs a ping pong scene.

In Hongkong.

 

[Knight Rise]

In Hongkong.

With Oompa Loompas eating Ding Dongs while listening to Chumbawumba

I'm talking about not liking football or sports in general.

 

[The Wizard]

When did we hear that Bruce attends a football game, and Bane blows up the stadium? Link?

I don't remember that. The last time I watched the animated series was fifteen years ago (minus a few episodes and Mask of the Phantasm). I really have to get the DVD set one of these days, I miss the series.

Hm, I guess I like my coffee black.

That's no different than saying it's wrong to look forward to a scene just because it involves something that they like.

I think it needs a ping pong scene.

And a Backstreet Boys concert.

 

[weezerspider]

in before "the Flying Graysons are performing in a circus that is being held at a football stadium"

Tim Tebow cameo? Thats the only way Superman gets in a Nolan-Bat Film!

Poignant and thought provoking.

 

[Caped Crusader]

The football scene is Scarecrows scene

 

[weezerspider]

As a die hard Batman fan and a die hard football fan....I want that...seriously.

 

[The Wizard]

Someone link me to the news about Bane blowing up a football stadium.

 

[ShrinkingMan]

Poignant and thought provoking.

my first post was not said with any malice to anti-sports fans but you're response was making it out to be that way.
