Ok he cracks some jokes but the point is the Ga thinks Batman is just dark and gritty now and won’t accept a fantastical take in live action . I’d absolutely love silver age Batman in live action but I don’t see DC having balls to do it

@SpiderKen1995 Your comments are a safe space so I can say, I feel like The Batman is also 20% responsible for that.

@comicaccuracy Yeah man and I agree

@SpiderKen1995 I hate it when a great movie causes negative influence in Hollywood. See also - The Matrix and Lord of the Rings.

@Ndrly Same

@SpiderKen1995 “Dark Knight trilogy did damage to perception of Batman character”

@StephenChow1970 It made people not want to see him in more campy and fun stories and wear trunks and bright and colorful bat suits in live action. So now I’ll never get my ideal fantastical Batman because the GA thinks he is a brooding self serious dark gritty hero all the time

@SpiderKen1995 Batman has evolved from campy 66 Adam West into maturing into something much darker from Millers run in Dark Knight Returns, Keatons 89 Batman and Batman TAS. Everyone has their version/idea of Batman and what should or shouldn’t be done with him. Batman + jokes don’t mix well.

@NerdAround It worked here

@SpiderKen1995 Lego Batman did a good job of making him not so dark&brooding — or is it just me?

@SpiderKen1995 If batman isn't cracking at least the occasional joke, I'm seriously not interested

@SpiderKen1995 @Bellechan2350 I'm not watching the movie, but cmon he has the lasso of truth on him. It's exactly like a comic line tbh

@SpiderKen1995 That's just cringe, actually. He is vengeance. He is The Night. And it's not as if the Dark Knight trilogy is the only serious portrayal. Remember "The Batman"? Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice? Suicide Squad? Zach Snyder's Justice League?

@SpiderKen1995 I'm sorry but these are the definitive Batmans, animated and live action respectively. Brooding > Campy humor

@SpiderKen1995 Yet that trilogy is the best Batman thing we’ve got

@SpiderKen1995

@SpiderKen1995 Posts like this is EXACTLY why the DCU is failing. Imagine… saying the best Batman trilogy, causing damage to a DCU Batman. 🤦

@SpiderKen1995 Batman does have a sense of humor yes but I always found it to be like, a super super Dry sense of humor. Sorta Like dad jokes only he finds funny. This doesn't feel like a very "batman" joke if you ask me

@SpiderKen1995 Really bummed that they absolutely wasted Ben Affleck as Batman for every single movie he’s been in.

@SpiderKen1995 I like Batman’s dry humor better than this camp. Batfleck was great in BvS and ZSJL, the comedy in his character was more on par with Batman Returns, or BTAS. Even comic book Bats’ humor is dry and it works perfect for when he’s paired with Flash, GL, or even Supes.
