The Batman

There's no version of Batman where his physical capabilities make the least bit of sense so who gives a flying fuck what he looks like?

You have to draw the line somewhere.

i guess this one is going to focus more on batman being the world's greatest detective, which would make sense with riddler being the villain. we never really get to see that aspect of him in movies. he just hand waves some gibberish in front of the bat computer and then goes into action mode.

we'll see.

Never crossed my mind he was thinner less bulky. And jooka is right. The chin and jawline do matter!

I mean come on...want to see this chin behind the cowl?

What? You don't want to see the 40th movie interpretation of the Batman origin story?

Was thinking about that process in superhero stories. New artists and writers reimagine superheros all the time in the comics. Many times to great effect and in ways that permanently change the character. But doing it in the movies seemed wrong to me at first. Soo many Spiderman retakes.

But why should movies not allow creative types to find their take on the subject matter? It sometimes works very well in comics. And some characters, like Batman, the Joker, etc, have a ton of potential for reinterpretation. Letting the artists breathe new life into old tropes. I was against the new Joker movie before I saw it, figured Heath had the best interpretation. But damn, that new Joker movie is good.

The Batmobile in this movie just looks like a regular muscle car with some fins. Seems like the most low effort batman ever.

Apparently this Batman movie takes place just 2yrs after Wayne decided to become Batman, so all his tech (what there is of it) won't be as refined as we've seen in the other movies, I guess.

the thing is when you are the world's greatest detective you need the juice to wtfpwn these villains. so Batman has to be able to kick ass and take names on the same level as his sleuthing abilities.

Don't get the bulk complaint.

Roid'ed up 80s Arnold or Stallone type guys beating anyone is way more ridiculous. People with warped bodies like that couldn't realistically beat up a teenager if he wasn't holding still.

This worked for Winter Soldier, why shouldn't it work for Batman.


Also, holy fucking Colin Farell. Man.

This idea that muscular people are just hulking monsters that can't even wipe their own asses is retarded and you should feel dumb for buying into it. I mean, just look at NFL players for an example. Every single one of them are gigantic but are quicker, more flexible, and stronger than you'll ever even hope to become as an adult male.

Here's Klokov, a weightlifter, at about 230 pounds. Arnold in prime competition age/form was about 230-260 lbs (2 inches taller than Klokov).


200kg = 440 lbs

I wonder if they go full retard and Batman ends up killing people.

I mean Batman literally started with a gun and killed people. Even in the first 2 movies he was killing people. That no gun and no killing bullshit came later. They started removing cleavage and other decent shit in 1954 with the comics code, kinda like movie rating fuckery.

See Larry Allen. 6’3”, played at 325. Prolly one of the best left tackles to ever play. Plus he was strong.
