I don’t care for the “Jackie Chan Cartoony” artwork either. But I’ve seen clips of future episodes and the shit looks fly.
Welcome home Scotty.
Sup, Mike!
hey obot your dreamcast is fixed
At least this “The Batman” show is “the shitty.”
Wayne is apparently a Turko-Scandinavian name, and Batman is a reject from Battle of the Planets. Needless liberties were taken with characters that remove almost all but tertiary connections to each other, and main characters have been dumbed-down into easy-to-write pastiches.
Detective Crispus Glover… Detective… Crispus… fuck it: Detective Baldhead Q. Blackman. Renee Montoya. Too ethnic. Detective Woman B. Inferiorthinker.
Quickly! Let’s SWIM to Arkham, because now that it’s suddenly NOT landlocked in the middle of the fucking woods, it is also somehow separated from the water Blackgate Prison sits on, and therefore we do not have to worry about strong currents or shark infestation.
Well hello, “The Batman,” I’m “Joker,” though you might recognize me as Busuzima from the wildly popular and still played to this day game Bloody Roar. Here is my 1 gimmick; please ignore The Killing Joke and all of its related backstory, yet rely on base exposition to cover details about a character which later become contradictory via its own seemingly-utilitarian rewrites.
The Batman will hopefully be as popular as Homeboys in Outerspace.
I agree with your view of Batman…sorta.
I’m old school…(big surprise), I like the way the comic stories were originally written. Every since the 80’s, this has changed. They re-write the comic to fit todays pop-tart eating, dirt bike riding, skateboard toting youth. The writers “slick-a-fy” (heh, not a word) the story with “political correctiveness” and “soccer-mom” humor.
I hate it.
Corporate kingpins and the investment banker moguls who bankroll these films don’t care about staying true to the comic storyline…all they care about is the $$$. So they buy the rights from Stan Lee, find writers that water down and candy coat the story, throw in $5692659236596232356 of special effects and throw the crap at you.
*Examples: Mary Jane was NOT Spiderman’s 1st girlfriend, it was Gwen Stacy…who was killed by the Green Goblin.
Bruce Banner’s father was NOT the Absorbing Man, the Absorbing Man was an escaped criminal named Crusher Creel.
Jean Grey did not evolve into Phoenix due to floodgates openingfrom a dam as shown in Xmen II, she evolved into Phoenix for the 1st time as a result of her encounters with the Hellfire Club…namely Mastermind’s control of her mind. (I believe thats how it happened).*
But if your a comic/movie fan…thats all there is. For a superhero loving “old fogie” like myself…its either “like it or lump it”. :cybot:
Damn you, Ivy, and your big words…And your little dog, too!
Although I can see why they fazed Gwen Stacy out, and put MJ in, You gotta admit, The first Spider-man would have had a lot bigger impact on those who didn’t know the real plot if Gwen Stacy had died. Then, they develop the relationship between PP and MJ in the second movie, but just hint at it in the first movie.
The X-men movies have really left me with little substance. Magneto isn’t that great a villian that he should be in both movies. Ian McClellan, good actor that he is, just ain’t imposing enough to pull off the guise of the Master of Magnetism. These 1 on 1 fights really annoy me seeing as:
- they usually have involved Wolverine on most occasions
- the X-men are a team, yet it’s extremely easy to separate them in a skirmish.
I’ll pay to see a movie that has all the X-men fighting Cain Marko, or Apocalypse. Someone they NEED teamwork to defeat…
Christ, they should just let a fan write the plots…
Ivy
What are you talking about? did another batman series come out or somthing? or are you talking about the batman cartoon that came out about what 7 years ago?
If a new batman came out then i would like to see it.
Robo
Amen to everything you said about the movies and how they change all the good stuff, i am sick of it myself. JUST KEEP THE DAMN STORY HOW IT IS AND STOP REDOING IT.
ps.
Jeans little transformation did not happin like the cartoon said, but it did happen when they started talking with the sheiet (i do not know how to spell their name) the space woman. something did happen and somehow the power was awakend. i used to have the comic, but i sold it, dont be mad at me.
OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!
Hey Robo, how did that fishing trip go? are we eating good or hearing the story about “the one that got away” 
I leave for that thing we talked about around the end or October (I could miss the big Halo tourney :sad: )
P.S. Wahts up Taz… where the hell have you been…Iraq I’ll holla at ya dog
WO WO hold on hollow this is not what you told me. you said “its the movies” you had nothing to say about some of the messups they did with spiderman when last we talked. if i remember, i am the one who said that a fan should write the story line but you told me if its there its there and if Big Stan said its cool then who are we to debate, remember that?
And the X-men did work as a team in the first movie, remember.
Storm flew wolvy, jean held steady, like a heroic fag cyc took the final shoot, wolvy gave power to A KID Rouge. Teamwork.
The comments said in this post was meant not for insulting but discussion purposes
New Batman cartoon on WB saturday mornings! All I can say in the defense of the Batman, which is watchable, is that it ties into the movie coming thus it’s Batman in his early years and it will be his first time encountering everyone. Come one people, we know the media will never take directly from the comic so we can stop hoping for that everytime something comes out.
It is some movies that need to stick strictly to the story like X-men. You can’t take a story such as that and make it your own way. I can pull up that you can’t have the Phoenix with out the Shi’ar. I agree that the Gwen Stacey arc would have be great for the Spider-man battle with the Goblin. But more people know who MJ is thus that is what they went for. If MJ wasn’t in it you know you would have said, “where is Mary Jane?” who has been around as long as Stacey, it would have been a nice triangle story that they may touch on next even though Harry is the Goblin. But I bet we will see a certain Miss Felecia Hardy int eh next one, another one of Spidey’s girls before he really got MJ.
Hulk sucked…Period…the stroy was just wrong.
That’s it for me.
I need mines fixed!!! When I turn it on the disc spins and then it just goes to the screen that says clock etc etc and thats all it does,Can this be fixed?
ALSO the funniest thing happen to me today,I was on lunch break from like 12:00 to like 1:15 and I went to gamestop on 12/southfeild to get a power cord for KIZZLE (my modded xbox) (my wife got mad and cut the one that was hooked up to him) anyway I went in there and these guys from gamestop and costumers are playin cvs2 on ps2 (go figure) so the worker ask me if I want to play and he’s like I picked yun do you know how to play him,I’m like yeah.So long story short LOTS OF ASS WHOOPING TODAY.
just thought I’d share my joy with you all.
HONESTLY: Not to start a beef or anything but it makes no sence to write/display a cartoon the way it was viewed from the 60/70’s etc,In any shape form or fashion there going for what they went for back then,PROFIT.It may come off as if they are listening to what fans want but there doing what it takes to sell the series and thats appeal to the youth,You know the one day ROBO’S of the 2010 etc.
No harm by my post (please no harm) but I just kinda got the same thing from when I asked about spider man and you said the 1967 THE REAL ONES.Real to me was the 90’s.PEACE AND ARE YOU THROWING FNG NEXT WEEK???
What you have to see, though, is that a movie is a different format fro ma comic. A comic, they can afford to have long drawn out conflicts, story nuances, and bringing minor characters up over time to become major players. In movies, they have 2 and a half hours to make the crowd care about the few main heroes, and hate the villain. They can’t really use the in depth backstories from the comics, so they make up new stories for origins of the heroes and villains to accomodate the time and audience interest they need to keep. They have to appeal to a broader audience if they want to make any money-aiming for hardcore comic fans such as yourself just isn’t profitable enough.
And Hulk sucked. It was a psychological movie built up to be a superhero vs supervillain flick. And they could’ve had a sweet villain, like the Abomination, instead, we get his lame ass dad.
When You Change The Movies From The Book Kids Go To School Kill Each Other And We Go To War, We Cant Handle It. [thats What I Think] I Dont Come On Here To See Who Likes Who. P.m. That Shit To Him, I Like The People I Hang With Because One Of Them Punk Bitches Got To Hit The Lotto. Talk About The Asses You Beat To Make Someone Fell Bad So He Will Play Better. The Horse Women Got That Ass Beat By Team ?? Luke, Hollow Mess Up The Fit I Had On You. [the Fit On His Bottom]

FO-SHIZZLE!!! pm me your number.
OBOT: Respond to my pm.
Sorry. I’d rather have the penny candy…
No need to worry about a beef…your post merely states what I said originally…todays movies/cartoons are aimed at todays youth…I just said I don’t like it.
I have no choice…thats all there is, so I have come to accept it. Some of them I like, some I don’t. I’ve liked all the new Batman cartoons and spin-offs from the 90’s to the new millinia.
Dunno about FNG yet.
Ok my brother told me about the new cartoon the batman, and he told me that Joker was whooping on batman?s ass better then his arch rival NINJA. Like I said; I have not seen it yet, but if they are trying to tell a story about how he was in his early years, and him sucking at it, then they are kind of sticking to it a little because in the comics when he first started out he was not top of the line, but then again Joker is not a fist fighter, so it?s a little twist. I mean if you wanted to become a hero would you know what to do right off the bat, man? LOL pardon the pun. Again I did not see it so I do not know anything about it, but I kind of like the idea that they are showing his growing up side. Just watch, he will become an ass-kicker in no time. No car, no gadgets, nothing, this can cramp a bats style, you know.
