True enough. Black leather or rubber is going to enhance the visual of one’s posterior. The costume should have been changed. Hell, even Kate Beckinsale was complaining how big her ass looked in Underworld and Van Helsing. (Whereas those movies put her on my List. 
)
And Wierddave, how much outcry would there have been if there had been nipples on her costume! Immediate R rating! How obscene! 
The film came out in 1997 and Schumacher and Arnie are totally stuck in 1980’s mode of film making and acting.
Goyer can talk all he wants about how he wants to do villains that haven’t been done yet in the movie series, but it’s just not a realistic statement. Who’s left after Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Bane, Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy?
No one of any note, that’s who.
– The Mad Hatter is lame (and would look ridiculous on screen).
– Clayface wouldn’t really fit within the confines of the Nolan Batverse. You could force him in somehow, but again, the lameness.
– Man-Bat, see Clayface
– Harley Quinn could be done, but that would require them to recast The Joker. And that idea is still up in the air last I heard.
Killer Croc is about the only villain left that could be done in the movie series right. And at point, why not just go with the more interesting Bane?
There’s that one ventriloquist from the animated series. Creepy little sumbitch. He’d work well in Nolan’s universe, although moviegoers wouldn’t recognize him as immediately as the Joker.
I don’t think I’ll be inviting you to any of my parties.
Someone on this board suggested casting Owen Wilson as the Mad Hatter and making him a pedophile. I still can’t get past how creepy that could be, and think it would be an inspired casting.
Giving him the cold shoulder, are you?
Anyway, I wouldn’t have a problem with an intelligent Bane, though what I’d really like to see is a World’s Finest movie in which Superman thinks Batman is “cool, because he’s so goth and dark” while Batman thinks Superman is a well-intentioned but clumsy amateur.
Ack! You son of a bitch!
You need to chill out.
And I think that the movies you cite (apart from Mask) miss the point of Batman.
You and I clearly want different things from Batman. To you, he’s more in line with, I dunno, Booster Gold and Plastic-man.
To each their own.
Burton’s movies always have the same intagible feel of taking LSD at an evil amusement park. I’m not sure it worked with Batman. I just caught the older one with Catwoman (THAT’S how you wear a leather bodysuit) and the Penguin. They really are kind of campy.
But let me understand this. People are upset at Arnold for busting out lame one-liners? Um…have you not SEEN an Arnold Schwartzenigger movie?
N-ice.
:dubious:
Keaton was Batman. Every one else was trying to play Keaton. They missed.
Batman Begins was the first movie where no attempt was made to be a Keatonized Batman . It was very good…
R shcmar. I’m talking about what is universally RIGHT.
Why not? With standards that low, he’ll laugh at anything you say, you could appear to be quite the wit.
“Knock Knock”
“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Stop it, you’re killing me!!”
S’now need for that. :rolleyes:
Part of it is also context. When Batman 4 came out, the Animated Series was still running. A LOT of Batman fans thought that the animated series had Got It Right - or at least had come close. The Animated Series had a emotionally cold, almost mechanical Mr. Freeze - and there was some fan discussion about how Patrick Stewart would be wonderful in that role. And they got campy Arnold.
There are many takes on Batman - and they run from campy to tortured. There are many takes on Batman villians - from campy to tortured. I like my Joker with more camp than Heath Ledger’s Joker, but I like my Batman brooding and my Catwoman witty, and I don’t mind Robin at all. Those aren’t opinions held by all.
