Memories.....

I dont understand why some Fans dont like the Dark Knight Rises i did like it and i think it was a Good Ending for Nolan Batman World yes there were changes with the characters of Bane and Talia al Ghul but they dont bother me because for me all Batman Movies are Elseworlds or Adaptations that not always is like in the Comics i liked the character of John Blake and i think his character was a reference to Chris O'Donnell Robin from Batman Forever and Batman and Robin so it doesnt bother me to watch an Adult "Robin" although of course i believe John Blake becomes the New Batman in Nolan World and i liked Anne Hathaway Version of Catwoman i think it was a great tribute to Adam West Catwoman

Hot Toys did this knowing I don't have the money or room then again, I don't deserve to own these. I have a Hot Toys Heath Ledger Joker and it's well past over due for a dusting.

I was just about to post this. Wish they sold just the armory by itself so I could pair it with my DX19.

 

[Gee]

The improvements to the suit are actually nice. Though, I am still happy with my DX19 that I got last summer.

That Bale/Bruce is pretty much a statue.

Have a rat and mouse problem in my garage, and was going through stuff. Amongst a bunch hod Raimi spider-man magazine from the early 2000s, I also found the Batman Begins official movie guide from 2005 and it's big! I can't believe I still have it. Unfortunately, it's not sanitary to keep. Found rat droppings on it, so it's gotta go.

A sad fate for a good find.

If Batman had to seem to die, why couldn't Bruce have continued, though pretty retired, as Bruce, why fake death rather than return and continue as him?

"you don't owe these people anymore. you've given them everything"

"Not everything. Not yet" - Batman

This line right here sums up why Bales version of Batman will always be the best to me.

 

[OnLeatherWings]

Okay, the Bale-Batman disrespect is getting not only out of hand - but dare I say, stale?

C'mon.

 

[The Joker]

I wouldn't pay any attention to videos like that. There's vids like that for every actor who has played Batman and their movies.

 

[Gothamsknight]

I just ignore that ****. There's weak argument online these days where people use the recency bias vehicle as a way to discredit older movies. for example, they say a comic book movie that is "great" can be a "good" movie but not a good "insert characters name here" movie. It's an attempt to discredit that movie and prop up the newer version. And I'm not saying people can't prefer one movie or another, or in that case, one batman or another. For me, I felt like Bale has been the best written version of Batman on screen and I love how heroic his iteration came across. others may prefer Keatons borderline psycho personality, which I love too haha, or the quieter, slower take on Batman Pattinson gave us. But they ALWAYS go after Bale or the trilogy because it's still top dog.

 

[squeekness]

Bale was far and away the best Batman I've seen so far. No question.

Agreed!

Anyone ever made these in chalk?

I love this little logo, really.

I never have drawn it, but I love its simplicity.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Well I did it. Just purchased the Mcfarlane toys TDK bundle! I was hesitant, but I did it. Between me collecting 4k's/blu rays, and not having enough room, I'm hesitant to buy figures these days but It's been on my mind for months now so I finally pulled the trigger. This will probably be the final action figures that I buy in general.

Anyone wondering why Nolan leaned heavily on whitewashing Bane and leaned towards white casting choices?

 

[Herofan]

Ra's he probably thought Middle Eastern or Asian would be too negative stereotype (and not too many people cared anyway, the original comics depiction was ambiguous enough), Bane that most fans really didn't care and would mostly be comparing to the portrayal in B&R.

This doesn't really explain the thought process of the white washing from the director when it comes to Bane. Also not sure how Ra's being Middle Eastern or Asian would be "too negative" unless the portrayal itself was overtly racist.

Same reason why John Wayne played Genghis Khan.

They were Adapting the Dark Knight Returns and No Man's Land with Batman faking his Death although the Dark Knight Returns Batman continued to Fight Crime unlike Bale Batman who simply Retired to Live a Normal Life and Passed the Torch to John Blake "Robin" to be the New Vigilante maybe to be the New Batman in Nolan Universe

I did see one such video for Keaton's Batman and...I had to agree. Sure, the aesthetic of the film was beautiful and we're all nostalgic for Bats 89 but for all the flak Affleck's Batman caught for killing people, Keaton did it first, and wasn't shy about it.
