Official BATMAN thread...
« on: January 21, 2009, 06:05:42 AM »
All Batman related stuff in here...

I like the Dark Knight... Always have... (the stories are always so dark...)

But now...

After Batman R.I.P., and Final Crisis...  :'(



On the positive side, though...

"Batman Begins" and "Dark Knight" was AMAZING...  :)

So... what's YOUR take on this..?

I enjoyed the new movies a lot.  I do agree Bale could have adjusted the voice a bit on Dark Knight but all told, I think these flicks took the Batman series back off of life support.

BTW, if this was the Copy+Paste game, this is my Ctrl+V

I take it then you're not including issues of Batman, Detective or World's Finest from the late 50s-early 60s?

'Cuz a lot of that was just ridiculous...

Hmmmm...

I guess I should have emphasized the fact that I only read stuff from the mid-80's DC-revamp and up to these days...

(One of the post-re-vamp stories actually involved Islamic terrorists attacking a US veterans hospital/recuperation house, and killing everyone there...
Batman ended up going to England, and stopping a major terrorist plot set for the 5th of November...  ;) THAT story stuck with me at that young age...)

But the old stuff can be hilarious...  :D :D :D







The new stuff, however...

Is only... uhm...

open for some...

unfortunate...

misunderstandings...

Morrison does indeed borrow things from the Silver and Golden Ages quite a bit.

He's been doing it most of his career at DC, and now he's even beginning to reference himself. In those Superman Beyond 3-D issues, when Supes ends up in Limbo where Merryman from the Inferior 5 is 'king'? That's straight out of his Animal Man run in the early 90s...

A lot of those weird, forgotten things came up in Batman because Bruce was a prisoner in his own mind courtesy of this thing called, The Lump. So while trapped in there, he came across all sorts of arcane memories including the two examples you show.

Go back a few pages, they're a couple of big fags in some of the posts.

No poo.
