More like blasted right into the face! And well, it's text that he's on a constant feed of aerosolised drugs to function, so. They don't really play up Bane as a drug addict too much except maybe in the original (where I think Azrael was also using Venom for a while) and some later bits like Batman Beyond, but it's an interesting angle for a character who's a counterpart to Batman's near-superhuman insane physical training. (It's implied that BvS Batman is using steroids mind)

Darko posted:And arent afraid of doing stuff like awkwardly bringing Ra's back *in* one of the two Lazarus pits in the movie (the other being the sewers). Just fully embracing the comic absurdity instead of constantly pointing out that you're in on the joke goes so much farther with me. It's another reason why I get sad when people dismiss his films. Because I think this exercise of adapting a character by considering who they essentially are when you take everything superficial away from them is really smart.

Dark Knight Rises is my least favorite of the three but I can’t deny that “...THEN, YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO DIE” is fuckin ownage

I can never get thru TDKR for more than 20 mins, so many extraneous characters, so little pull from the plot making you want to watch the whole thing

The Rises batsuit was hard to breathe in (like all the various movie batsuits) and I love the part where Catwoman is trying to talk him out of sacrificing himself and is like YOU DON'T OWE THESE PEOPLE ANY MORE and it show a close up of Bale's face. And like, his mask is off center and he's trying to look stoic while clearly fuckin' dying from the heat/lack of air (they filmed in the summer) and it holds the shot for an extra few seconds so that in that moment the entire movie breaks and you just see an extremely uncomfortable Christian Bale ibstead of a battleworn Batman. I'm still angry special features for Rises don't include the take during the big brawl towards the end where Bale and Hardy were so tired they just both lost it at the same time and like fell into each other's arms crying and embracing each other telling each other how tired they were over and over again for like five minutes straight. I think Bale was the one who told this anecdote. Should have just used that in the actual movie.

Like in my mind's eye, the Keaton costume has the best silhouette, but a quick google search gives a bunch of images of it looking so off and the ears looking like bunny ears. It's kind of funny that it's probably one of the most adapted superhero costumes, but might be one of the hardest to adapt. EDIT: it's kind of weird to live in a world where Captain America and DC Captain Marvel have had inarguably better on screen costumes than Batman. Even if Cap's worst costume is the actual worst on-screen superhero costume. Timeless Appeal fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Aug 3, 2019 |

I think "squat, neckless" Batman might have been the point, as Snyder shoots him he's supposed to be like a gargoyle come to life to jam hot pokers into sex traffickers. Just this looming beast that, if one were to see them in the dark, would not be sure was human or not.

Was it the Begins suit or the 89 Keatonsuit that had no mobility for the neck? I know TDK suit was redesigned for better visibility, but I think the original was a pain too. I really do like the BvS suit and think it got the right "fridge" look for an older Batman that doesn't need to Ninja as much.

It was every costume after Adam West until The Dark Knight.The Cameo posted:I think "squat, neckless" Batman might have been the point, as Snyder shoots him he's supposed to be like a gargoyle come to life to jam hot pokers into sex traffickers. Just this looming beast that, if one were to see them in the dark, would not be sure was human or not. The armor suit is probably the most consistently good Batman costume though.

Everything up to TDK had the cowl as one solid piece that went at least down through the shoulders (and thus got connected to the cape), I think TDK made it so the cowl and actual bodysuit were in a couple of different pieces so Bale could pull it off in that one scene and not look a tenth as goofy as Keaton does in Returns when he has to RIP THE THE loving THING and has a huge chunk of rubber sticking up, TDKR they just made it like a motorcycle helmet. BvS I think was the first time someone went “why don’t we just make the suit out of material you can move and turn your head and torso in?”

Another '66 connection (or at least I hope it is, would let me forgive the scene a little more) - Bane winning over public opinion by reading a letter on live TV as if anyone cares who he is or his level of authority. In the theater, that moment felt blindingly stupid, but through the magic of "it's an homage to campy Bat-villains swaying public opinion via TV," I can at least hand-wave it. Is Dark Knight Rises just a warm-up version of Lego Batman?

Bale's Batman voice getting progressively worse and sillier was always amazing to me. Especially in the scenes where he was only talking to people who knew he was Bruce Wayne. If there were a 4th Nolan film he would straight up sound like Donald Duck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2yv8aT0UFc

I like the suit for Batfleck. He's a squat lil muscle weirdo and it works great for his character in BvS. I think that of the three Nolan movies I only really like the batsuit in Rises because the awkwardness of movement helps sell Bale's Batman as past his prime and tired. It doesn't work as well in the other two when he's supposed to be on top of his game.

Gatts posted:I think all that to make Batman look ridiculous is completely intentional The '89 costume looks phenomenal except for when he has to turn his neck or you can see how short Keaton was. I'm a huge fan of Batman costumes where the cape drapes over the shoulders. I think it's basically only the Burton flicks and BTAS that does that outside of comics, though.

Davros1 posted:Batfleck looked goofy as gently caress. I’m surprised you feel that way. The only time I thought it looked goofy was the Batmobile scene where he side swipes Superman. For some reason they crushed the blacks so it’s like a super dark scene with Batman’s bright white eyes. I always thought it looked really weird. They probably wanted to highlight his eyes to showcase his expression, but a little more lighting in the cockpit would have been nice.

I loved how Afleck looked with the cowl off and the rest of the costume still on. I think it us just in one scene in his cave, but he looks like one if those badass knights from Excalibur.

Batfleck with the cowl on looks like a poorly painted little Warhammer 40k figure. It's adorable.

I'll take Batfleck's squat gargoyle look over the Batman Begins suit's weird bobble-head design. Fuckin' cowl looks like it was cast off of Cory Taylor's neck.
