I'd like to see a new movie (or TV show) in this style


Before anyone flys off the handle I don't mean the villain should be japanese stereotype. What I mean is it should be rooted in the pulps that this character is based on. Burton did this in the first two films to an extent, but I'd like to see something even closer. For instance the costume. Sure it was baggy, and Lewis Wilson was a little fat but I like the wool suit with the bat in the middle, and dark cape. It would be a departure from the "rubber-made" Batman. Plus I'd like to see more attention to him being a detective which the new films don't seem to explore. I also really like the pace of this serial. The fight scenes kinda stink cause Batman gets his ass handed to him, but the chase scenes etc... are exciting! You also never get that touch of sci-fi anymore like in the serials. Dr. Daka's zombie ray is actually pretty neat. I think this films a lot of fun. Especially if your not some douchey P.C twit and understand the period it was shot. I just don't think D.C makes fun comic book films anymore. They all have to be "dark". Or Superman has to be emo, I really miss the period of the late 80's early 90's when comic films were fun, and set in a beautiful art deco world. I never get that feeling of awe anymore with D.C comic book films.

Nice post.

I agree that such films are rarely fun anymore. They get so caught up in trying to make things dark and gritty, or in trying to keep suspension of disbelief to a minimum, that it's seldom enjoyable. I enjoyed The Dark Knight, but superheroes and their adaptations are seldom fun anymore. Everyone has to be dark and brooding 24/7. All we ever hear today is how much it sucks to be a superhero. They failed to save a life and they fault themselves for it. It's a realistic response and it would be entertaining if it were a drama about a firefighter or a police officer. It's not, it's a superhero movie and I'd like a little bit of escapism.
