Batman is meant to be a gritty noir detective and a dark, shadowy creature of the night, instilling fear into superstitious and cowardly criminals. NOTHING ABOUT HIM IS SUPPOSED TO BE "FUN", BOOMTARDS. You want "Fun Batman"? That's what Green Arrow is for.
>>152104280You're boring lmao
>>152104293Such a riveting rebuttal.
>>152104312Why bother fighting retards
>>152104280Batman was originally meant to be more campy, and the gritty part of his character was a result of comic writers taking him in a different direction.
BIG BOY HERE I COME!
>>1521049464u
>>152104780He was based on Pulp novels
Ideal Batman is late 70s-early 80s for me
>>152104280My favorite Batman is fun.
>>152104280The Arkham games were honestly emblematic of all the worst Batman tropes at the 2000's and 2010's: ugly as shit overdesigned tech aesthetic, Batman being a complete asshole all the time, Joker being his fucking boyfriend, and the constant WHY DON'T YOU KILL THE JOKER, Harley was still really sexy and retarded but she was already getting too much prominence, Jason in general, ANNOYING AS FUCK AUTISTIC RIDDLER
>>152104280>Batman is meant to be a gritty noir detective and a dark, shadowy creature of the night
I ALWAYS BEEN A SMOKER *hits pip*
>>152104280>Batman is meant to be a gritty noir detective and a dark, shadowy creature of the night, instilling fear into superstitious and cowardly criminalsbut that is fun
>>152104280
>>152107145Doesn't work.
>>152104280>Batman is meant to be a gritty noir detective and a dark, shadowy creature of the nightThey won't even let him be that anymore. He's just a dude in body armor that knows karate and occasionally stumbles onto the answer to a case.
>>152107987Yeah, they'll call you a boomer or a child for thinking the man who dresses like a bat and uses neat gadgets to fight themed gangsters and mad science should have a bit of levity to it.There's room for more than one take on Batman, no need to get autistic about it. How are they currently getting the gritty interpretation of their dreams and are still throwing tantrums?TBAS will always be the gold standard for me, doesn't mean it's objectively the best. I'm not going to shit my pants if it's not everyone's cup of tea or even if we never get a version like that again. I grew up a Spider-Man fan, I've come to terms with suffering.
>>152104780Which, let's not forget, sold better than it ever had before.
>>152104780wut
>>152107805Batman Forever wasn't bad. https://youtu.be/ROLvjRB4E_Q?si=VcSwTBiavZZOinYd
>>152105010have you actually bothered to go back and read any pulp novels>>152108085the highest Batman has ever sold was in 1966 in response to the movie and tv show, 3.6 million floppies in a single year; in 1987 due to the effect of TDKR the previous year on sales, Batman sold 2.3 million floppies' if you can be bothered to track down the publication data for Detective Comics you'll see similar ratiosget fucked idiot
>>152104280I was about to call you a retard until that last part about Green Arrow. Actually, I think you have a good point. "Fun" Batman would be like "Fun" Daredevil, it's literally not a part of their character.
>>152108890I mean obviously it used to be in both of their characters beginnings, yeah they used to have a lot of fun back in the 40's and 60's respectively but what they really shine for is when they got serious in the 80's onwards. It's simply the best version of both characters.
