White eyes for the DCU Batman

It's their time. It's their time now:

Wolverine looks so ****ing dumb

Yeah, looking at it again, I think it probably would’ve felt a little more fist-pump-worthy if it was just Jackman’s eyes (something the Russo Brothers would be smart to keep in mind come Secret Wars).

I think folks really gotta realize that the whole white eye bit has trickled down from a time when it just wasn’t feasible to do human eyes on this kind of a mask…

Man, Wolverine looked absurdly terrible.

But the classic yellow suit guys, c'mon. Have some fun. Let people enjoy things.

I don’t even think it’s undoable! It’s just they went out of their way to make him look dumb. Really didn’t help that Jackman in the Byrne suit without the mask for five seconds looked immeasurably better.

I totally get the argument against live action white eyes... but then a part of me really, really wants to see this done in live action:



That would strike fear into my heart.

Between the cumbersome-looking white lenses in TDK and the Deadpool and Wolverine attempts which are really more mask than eye, the only way I might be open to doing white eyes is if they were to just do the black eye makeup under the mask and white out the actor’s actual eyes in post.

But still… ehhh.

You already have, whenever a Batman actor would squint his eyes. That's what this is is, just done through a cartoonist convention.
