Batman ended in 2012. Give it a rest.
Thank God cinemagoing is dead.
shareExactly, the way TDKR ended was perfect, everything past 2012 isn't Batman in my opinion.
shareMoron...
shareIdiot...
shareYou know nothing. Tdkr was awful. The best Batman production is the animated series. Your stupid batman is not coming back and has been quickly forgotten. Except by you lingering obsessed IMDb users who inflated the ratings at that has been site. Lmao...
shareNot at all TDKR was a great film, it ended the greatest trilogy of all time in a very satisfying manner and in my opinion it is the greatest conclusion to any trilogy or franchise
shareHard to argue with that. Batman: TAS is stupendous. There are aspects of Burton's films I prefer (Keaton's performance, much as I love Conroy's, is spectacular; Catwoman is better, I think, in Returns), and I really like The Dark Knight Returns adaptations, too, but Bruce Timm's work is astoundingly good.
The advantage that the series has, of course, is that it has the time to tell lots of different stories, dig in to different aspects of Batman, and really explore the world and the character.
I rewatched a bunch of it after borrowing the DVDs from a friend, and the cleverness of the storytelling is great. That creative team really pushed boundaries. The best examples for me are POV and Mad as a Hatter. The former goes full Rashomon, the latter has an ending that you just don't see happening in most cartoons or most superhero properties (even ones aimed at older crowds). The show is mature and timeless.
The Dark Knight Rises sucked. And Bale was a sucky Batman.
shareThere are only 7 live action batman movies. There are so many villans that haven't been featured in a movie.
shareQuality over quantity
shareThat was one of the many good things about the Nolan films, they used villains that weren't used in the previous franchise and didn't just recycle the same villains over and over again. (aside from the Joker).
shareLast time I checked, Two Face and Bane were also in the Burton/Schumacher series.
shareMy point was that the Joker has been used in just about every Batman franchise and there are as many Jokers out there as Batman’s, the same cannot be said of two face and bane
shareTwo Face and Bane have appeared in multiple previous movies, both live-action and animated. So, as has been pointed out to you, your claim is simply incorrect.
shareNot as much as the Joker genius, you're arguing something I never asserted. The Joker has appeared far more than Bane and Two-Face, if you have evidence of the contrary I'm happy to entertain it.
Also my premise was that Nolan used villains that didn't commonly appear in other adaptations such as Falcone, Maroni, Ra's al Ghul, The Scarecrow, Talia al Ghul, etc. and I am correct about that kiddo.
Sigh,
I know I should be used to people doubling down on stupidity instead of simply admitting they were wrong. Ah well. Why not, I'm bored. You said:
"That was one of the many good things about the Nolan films, they used villains that weren't used in the previous franchise"
Quick. . .name the villains Nolan used that we hadn't seen in previous incarnations. We'll wait.
"and didn't just recycle the same villains over and over again. (aside from the Joker)."
Quick: explain how that makes sense, when the SAME VILLAINS actually *did* appear previous iterations. Of Course the Joker. But Catwoman? Bane? Two-Face? Scarecrow? Even Ras and Talia, although they weren't as prominent. Who on earth are you talking about? WHAT on earth are you talking about?
Protip: The problem with claiming you "never asserted" something is that your words are right there, for everyone to read.
NOW: I *do* realize this is the internet, so rather than simply admit your error, this is the part where you tilt your head back and bray further absurdities. Go for it!
Yes you definitely double down on stupidity rather than admit you are wrong, you are clearly very self reflective kid.
Granted I have never seen the animated series Ra's al Ghul, Talia al Ghul, The Scarecrow, Falcone and Maroni were not in the Adam West Series, Burton or Schumacher series, fans had never seen those villains in a full length feature movie (don't count Maroni in Batman Forever, he doesn't have a single line and he's on screen for about half a second)
Notice I said recycle the same villains "over and over again", Two-Face and Bane have not been overused to the point where they have been recycled "over and over again", the Joker has. You lose kid
You might want to lay off the strawman kid, it just bit you in the ass here.
Predictably, you ignore everything I said, and ignore YOUR words which I quoted, and babble on about nothing in particular. Unless you can respond like an intelligent human (don't strain. . .it's rhetorical, you've shown you can't) there's no point in continuing to beat on you. I'm starting to feel bad for you; nobody likes pummeling a simpleton.
Fin.
Your entire premise was based on you not being able to read, that isn’t my fault it’s your fault. Later kid
shareLOL. . .don't try to use big words like "premise." You just look more and more stupid.
I'm bored, so I'll repeat: you made a (clearly) inaccurate claim. It's been (clearly) refuted. You can continue to babble irrelevancies; nothing you've said addresses these simple facts. Fin.
I accept your concession
shareI pity your delusion
shareYour personal attacks are dismissed and your concession remains noted
shareLOL. . .I know you are, but what am I?
shareYour personal attacks are dismissed and your concession remains noted
shareYour babbling is noted and your confusion is pitied
shareYour pathetic attempt at gaining the upper hand is rejected and your concession remains noted
shareYour paucity of intelligence is clear and your ration of pity is accordingly doled out.
shareYour infantile attempt at ripping off my retort is rejected and your concession remains noted
shareYour inane babble is simultaneously fascinating and sad, and your confusion is palpable
shareYeah those to were uninspiring movies
shareSherlock Holmes ended in 1946. Give it a rest.
Tarzan ended in 1948. Give it a rest.
Superman ended in 1987. Give it a rest.
🙄
I mean, all those did end. Although Tarzan ‘99 was pretty good.
shareSherlock Holmes in film was never as good as the first few Jeremy Brett series and that carries us through the '80s. Though the Clive Merrison BBC radio series is even better and that takes us through the '90s.
Tarzan has never been filmed acceptably. Things as far back as the silent Tarzan of the Apes (1918) tried... There are flashes even in the (Retarded Tarzan) series with Johnny Weissmuller and the Sy Weintraub series... But having to admit that Greystoke: The Legend of-- is the best version is frankly sad. Tarzan never really started in film.
Superman has been consistently portrayed in a form recognizably like the contemporary comics since the radio adventures and George Reeves on TV. Even the awful Man of Steel was a not altogether inappropriate version. But the DC animated films have been spot on int he last couple of decades, so I don't care if any recent Superman films may seem less than perfect. Superman has not ended and neither, for much the same reasons (No radio version, though), has Batman.
So true. Could have written it myself. And I did.
shareI doubt Batman will ever end.
sharePfff like Batman will ever end.
