Yes, the entire point of the Nolan movies is to make Batman more realistic, and that includes all his villains. So good on that! I think it's neat how Batman and by extension, superhero comics in general can be used to be just as symbolic and meaningful as any other type of fiction. The actual villains were created for various reasons, but they've been interpreted by different writers for different purposes. I like a lot of the symbolism you've decided on for TAS don't know how accurate it actually is, but it's neat to think about. Some of my favorite Batman works are the Elseworlds stories, like Batman in different alternate worlds, different time periods, etc. There's a particularly good one where the childless Wayne couple's roadster was overturned once by a crashing spaceship with a baby inside... and young BruceClark repressed his powers until after he'd chosen his path and done his training. Another time, just after Clark decided to become a bat, because criminals were a cowardly and superstitious lot, a spaceship crashed in the backyard of Wayne Manor, and he got a special ring from the dying alien inside... There's dozens of things like that out there. Old West. Swashbuckler. Holy War. Fantasy land. Fighting Jack the Ripper. Etc, etc. It's just weird, though. In the comics, most of Batman's solo adventures as in, in his own titles tend to try to be real-world. They may display powers, but they're written off as realistic, and there are times when Batman wonders about and dismisses things like aliens and ghosts. And yet, and yet, in other titles he works with at least 2 aliens and various mythological personages and goes to meetings in their base on the moon by using a teleporter. And there was the Batman and the Outsiders comic, which started when Batman said to the Justice League, screw you, and screw this, I can build a super-team from scratch that'll be just as good as this, and proceeded to do so because he's just cool like that.

Ah, see, I wasn't a comic kid myself. I had very few growing up, didn't know anyone else who really had comics. I did watch almost every comic based show that was on when I was kids. From the various Batman series to The Tick, movies, etc. I do notice the disconnect between the Batman sources and the group stuff, like the Justice League. Batman goes from the Detective to suddenly being this super kung fu guy with even higher tech gadgets and such. I actually remember groaning when I saw Batman go pull out these little Electric Fist sort of things in the newer Justice League cartoon. Because Exploding Batarangs aren't enough anymore? Dunno, for me, I always liked that more noir quality that the animated series had, even above the Gritty feeling of the new movies. Batman seemed more of a thinker in those, figuring out clues while still being capable of having those action hero moments. It wasn't often he got into the big brawls and such. You didn't see him just Kung Fu Tank through huge mobs of aliensmonstersgoons like you did in the Justice League shows, for example. Usually it was about outsmarting and outmaneuvering. It's why I never liked Superman, for example. Or for that matter most of the X-men. They just had a bad guy and went RAMPAGE on them until they were no longer a problem. Very straightforward and simplistic. Hell, I'm reminded of reading this novel about Superman's Death and Return or something. What kills the nigh ultimate super hero? Some cunning plan by his arch nemesis? A heroic sacrifice that is made? No... just some random story-less monster who appears for no reason other than to be just as tough as Superman. Kryptonite claws or nothing? No, he just pummels him unto death. Reason? None other than Superman was there. Bleh. Usually Batman stories have more depth to me. Not just about Go beat up the bad guys.
Thread: Gotham city talk

yes batman is a great detective its just as the tv shows wore on they more or less wanted to entertain the younger masses.so they made him less...smart in some ways witch ruined his appearance for a bit but he never changed in the comics or anything those are the people who know how to show him other than the ones making the newer movies who are doing quite well.and as for super man ..im not even going to talk about him i would rather not get thrown into the pvp section for bashing.but batman has always been about the depth of the human psychosis he himself is often referd to by the psychiatrists at arkum as the uncatchable patient and hes certainly good at avoiding them and getting into whatever he pleases using that brain of his.
Thread: Gotham city talk

Chris Sims over at the ISB and ComicsAlliance goes on at length about Batman, particularly the goofy and weird Golden Age and Silver Age adventures. Batman's been portrayed a bewildering number of ways over the years, but he's always had one overriding quality best-trained human in the world. Whether that's martial arts or detective skills or sciencetechnology, it all comes down from there. The cartoons were a good way of continuing his story, and I, too, enjoyed the TAS method of having a mystery he figured out, with occasional badass fights. He didn't fight often, but when he did, it was done very well. When they youthened up the series, they took out a lot of the thinky bits, which was still true to the character, technically, but ignored OTHER aspects of the character. I can understand it, but doesn't mean I have to like it. No Man's Land annoyed me, not because of the story but because it was this giant crossover event to boost sales in all the Bat-titles. It wasn't the least bit realistic they didn't abandon New Orleans, for example, and Gotham is basically supposed to represent NYC, which is a hell of a lot more important than NO, particularly in a world with superpowers, but I did like the kind of build your own society elements they introduced, I thought they had a lot of good stories to tell, and they introduced and altered a variety of characters. I admit, in order to tell those stories, they had to do something big like a No Man's Land or something, but it was forced and it was commercial. I like many of the things they did, I didn't like how they did them. It's good that DC and Marvel make collections available in bookstores these days, as opposed to comic shops, but it limits what one talks about. I have a collector's impulse, but I've had to be choosy. Like, I could never collect Detective Comics or Batman, because there's no way I'd be able to get all the issues, and that would nag at me. But I don't always think they collect stuff that needs to be collected. It's a business, I understand, but all these crossovers and universe-wide stories, skipping between titles every issue... makes me annoyed. It's bad enough when they just do it within the Batman or Superman titles, but across the whole of the company... You know, I focus more on the comics, and most of you are talking about the cartoons and movies, which are, in my view, a very small percentage and a misleading one, given how they have to be adapted and changed for the needs of active visual storytelling of the total. So I'm not sure how I can best discuss.
Thread: Gotham city talk

gteh only reason i mention the movies and cartoons .is because some people havent had the chance to read many of the comic books.i have read quite a few and i enjoy talking of the villains themselves because i know much more about them than the story line itself its the characters im good with .but i try to keep up its just been a while. and i enjoyed no mans land because of the way the villains ran every thing and how it gave them newer aspects to look into i didn't like that it. was just to sell comics but it was an interesting story line letting you see the people in a different view such as riddler and how he started his own business to figure out mysteries and find things for peopel.or how ivy took care of orphans .or two face and several others fighting for territory .then there's batman himself having to let some villains run free against his own judgment to keep the city in one piece .

Did I just get reprimanded for talking Batman in a thread about Batman?
Thread: Gotham city talk

I think she was criticizing style rather than substance. Some folks aren't fans of the nested quotes. I'm not sure if anyone can really dictate topic shifts, particularly when people wander by and chime in at any given point of the day. So that might not, you know, work. But if you want to talk villains, that's cool. I tend to like the ones that are noble in their way, but given his gallery, I'm not sure who i'd pick. I mean, Joker's just crazy which makes him fun, but not admirable, Penguin, depending on version, is more corrupt with a certain style than really a theme villain, then there's Scarecrow, Szazz... you know, I think Man-Bat or Ra's Al-Ghul. Those dudes weren't out for evil, but their codes of morality were different enough from the mainstream they came into conflict with the Bat.
Thread: Gotham city talk

well as for quotes i have no problems with them its just i find it a little annoying when you just quote someone else and then what you put . like one sentence i would find it more easy to understand if you were to simply mention the person .but i dont really care talk about what you like or whatever its a free topic so long as it stays in the batman ideals. and as for the whole topic thing i just do that now and then to spark ideas so if you are talking about something else you may continue . and i find man bat interesting,and i enjoyed your reply.
Thread: Gotham city talk

Well, thanks! And bringing up new topics is fine. I tend to work more as suggestions, myself. For example, they've played around a lot with the semi-mythical aspect of Batman's approach. Sometimes they've acted like the common people believe he's a myth, other times they can refer to him in the news. I realize it depends on the needs of the story, but come on, if Batman were real, I'd think street vendors would be selling cheapass Batman balloons, all hecho en Mexico, and there's be fansites and blogs... pretty much just like the real world, except Batman is real. So how do you think Batman works best? Should he be a rumor? Or should the press snap pics of him consulting with Gordon?
Thread: Gotham city talk

Oooo, very interesting Mr. Master. In my opinion, he works better as a rumor. With all that attention, he'd no doubt be put under a microscope and if we're involving things like the internet even if in that world where Batman was real, we'd never heard of a superhero before he came along, there are smart people out there who would figure out who he is. And all it takes is the right ears to listen and then it becomes about exposure. If he were just a rumor, he'd be a lot like alien abduction stories, wouldn't he? Something you cannot predict the appearance of, that only a few people have seen and their truth is less than worthy to be believedi.e. criminals having been pummeled by him and I am sure there would be conflicting reports of what he looks like until it became mainstreamthese rumors like they have literature on the supernatural and aliens and then they'd all bleed together and become cliche until the originality is lost.

im with ivyu on this onehe would be better not real .if her were putin the media he woudl be targeted by his vilains like crazy. to stand on the media he woudl soon losewhimself and be subject to lawsuuits and other things gotham pd has wanted to throw his way over the years. including being thrown into the insane aslyum so . yeah i think its best he is just a rummer that comes to life now and then.
Thread: Gotham city talk

Exactly! The media attention would cripple him, making it impossible to inspire fear if the light is shined directly on him. And that is where a lot of his power comes from, dealing with criminals, is their fear of him. A man running around in a Bat costume is something to be laughed at and the more people you have laughing with you, the less you feel you have to lose when coming face to face with this man.
Thread: Gotham city talk

yup but whats odd is . it doesn't seem to affect his vilians as much people know hes there also because of them but never catch him .every one knows who his villains are and that doesn't make them any less scary. because of all they have down so it could go ether way though batman would never kill the person announcing him knock out maby kill..no.
Thread: Gotham city talk

Serphy and I were recently discussing the costumes of Harley and Ivy in the new Arkham Asylum game and complaining about the overly slutty nature of their outfits. It was pointed out by serphy that the revamp on their outfits took away from the fear they might inspire, instead turning them both into whorish bimbos displaying skin for the sake of showing skin. And I totally agree. They just become another woman flashing her tits, when Ivy and Harley are about much more than that. The subtleties of seduction have very little to do with how much skin you show, and these women's appeal comes from the erotic and enticing fear they inspire. Like a black widow so beautiful and sexy and desirable, but so dangerous. Their original outfits were skin tight and sexy enough.

When the Soviets did a formal investigation into why Petrov didn't blow the shit out of us when he saw the flawless radar showing nukes headed to them, he replied, Because I had a phone in one hand and the intercom in the other, and I don't have a third hand.

She was absolutely sure she was at her wit's end. She didn't know what she was doing, but apparently it only made sense in being in a Catholic school to confess the sins that floated in her head. Or rather, confess the sins that were apparently crawling up her legs, flickering in and out of her head as holding her down against something. Even with some going so far as to confess it to their head priest. That is exactly what she was doing now, making her way to the church that towered in the center of the school, everything seemed to circle around the church. Literally. Black mary jane heels guiding her into the near empty church building, she glanced to the side and nodded softly at one of the lesser priests moving through the aisles and humming their songs, she moved carefully between a set of aisles into one of the back confessionals as she heard someone shift on the otherside of the screen. Thank God. Someone was in there. Forgive me father, for I believe I have sinned. She spoke softly, her loosely accented voice showing that she wasn't from this plain and simple town, though as she bowed her head, her hazel eyes fell to the floor. Straight red hair falling over her cheeks, her half lidded eyes raised up calmly and she almost swore that again she felt the sensation slide up her legs, cool and tingling. A light splash of freckles over the female's cheekbones, Samaire let out a soft breath of air, Father, I keep having these nightmares and daydreams. . They're. . They're sinful father, and I don't know what to do. Hopefully, he wouldn't issue her a 'twenty something Hail Mary's'.

The father was not in the confessional, he was currently away busy working with a young girl that needed help getting into the private school. Needless to say the man was being anything but a man of god at that point. It was the priest??s sin that allowed the person in the confessional in there. Sitting in the confessional listening to the girl talk about what she was experiencing was the very woman that was causing it. Assuming you could call her a woman, she was female at this moment as it was the sex she preferred and considered herself to be so. Her name was Alyskal, Alys for short. She was a succubus, a demon of lust and sexual need. She was always searching out people to corrupt into her play things. This girl had eluded her so far, but thanks to the priest??s many sexual sins she was now about to take more action. Smiling softly Alys spoke softly so that she could be heard but there could be no way that the girl could tell, it wasn??t the priest. ??Tell me my child, what happens in these dreams that you are so sure is sinful?? even as she talked Alys sent some tentacles to gently creep up Samaire??s legs slowly.
