Why doesn't Superman get his old timey throwback adaptation?
>>153969527Only 1 out of those 4 is what you're talking about.
>>153969844which number am I thinking of?
>>153969901Only Nior is a different version of a character set in the past. Batman is set in 1989, Cap being in WW2 is just his Canon, and some versions of Wonder Woman are either just set in WW2, or 1, because that's when she was created or because she supposed to be long lived.
>>153970087all of that is irrelevant, they are old timey throwback adaptations regardless of the reasons, I never said it had to be a different version of the character
>>153970315Batman 1989 isn't a throwback, it was just a contemporary Batman adaption that added a bunch of gothic shit.
Since DC just copies what marvel does 5-10 years later he will who am I kidding, it'll be batman
>>153969527the superman TV show from the 50s already exists
>>153972671Batman never had those art deco/ noir aesthetics to the same extent before. It's intentionally very vague what year it is.
>>153972764Eh, TAS is way more of a throwback. The movie just feels like something from the 80s despite all the atmosphere. I don't see anyone confusing the movie for another time period.
>>153972764>It's intentionally very vague what year it is.Bro, the Joker plays Prince's songs in the museum and at his parade. It's set in the 80s.
>>153972980BTAS would not look the way it does if not for the Burton movies. It set the standard for that look being associated with Batman.>I don't see anyone confusing the movie for another time period.There's a newspaper article in the movie from the 40's that I've seen people use as an argument for the movie taking place then. It doesn't, but people have used the newspaper props years and things like articles mentioning President Truman as evidence. It's definitely meant to feel anachronistic.
>>153973088The Prince music was added later on in production and in post at WB's request. Most of the film was conceived with the retro feel. >>153973090forgot my pic
>>153973088it's the 80's but the setting is not our world's 80's. it's like the 40's just skipped to the 80's and even then it's just the big hair on women and Prince, and everything else is like a 40's comic strip world with Dick Tracy mobsters in comically wide pinstripe and shit
>>153972671it even immediately prompted Hollywood to started doing other pulp hero adaptations, not to mention the influence on BTAS to have the 1930s influenced style
>>153973090>>153973311Are y'all forgetting the extended sequence of Joker's henchman grooving around with a boombox? The movie had a handful of retro elements but it was still obviously set in the late 80s. Like even ignoring the Prince music the puffy jackets and boombox dates it very much to that era.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjD9X2mPIXY
>>153972764You may find this hard to believe, but the character existed before Denny O'Neill lameified the dc universe
>>153969527I suggest you watch Justice League: The New Frontier if you want superheroes in the past
>>153969527>Superman in WW2 era>you have to find an asspull for how he let the attack on pearl harbor, holocaust, rape of nanking, nuking of hiroshima and nagasaki, the continued existence of Josenjing(Koreans) etc happen.>Superman in WW1, Nam, Korean War, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Civil war, Revolutionary war, etc.>have to create an asspull to justify the conflict not ending in 10 seconds via Superman, other villains and heroes' interventionSpeaking of which, what was Wonder Woman(Snyderverse) doing during WW2. What were any of the superheroes and supervillains doing in GunnVerse since they have been around for bare minimum of 300 years.
>>153969527Fleischer Superman all the way
>>153969527Spider-Noir is an old time adaptation.The others are not. And you're clearly a zoomer if you think so.
>Spider-Man Noir>Geriatric actors and a poorly made imitation of classic moviesThey keep churning out crap with these “celebrities”
>>153969527If the Wonder Woman show and the 1989 Batman movie are throwback adaptations, then so is every fucking contemporary movie made before 2026.The Dark Knight trilogy is a throwback series. The Donner Superman films are throwbacks. Every James Bond movie are throwbacks.kys you retarded faggot, OP.
He did and it wasn't very good.
I actually had an idea for an event where (dc) heroes would all get flung back into time and they would have to find their way back home.Medieval batmanPirate age aquamanancient rome wonder womanI still cant figure out when would be a good time period to put superman in.
>>153977544I'd go a period where that has ample amount of migrants assimilating into the lands they've moved into, especially if you also have refugee populations running away from somethingI think late antiquity could work(think Stilicho). Colonial age/independence war period are fine too.
>>153974637>>you have to find an asspull for how he let the attack on pearl harbor, holocaust, rape of nanking, nuking of hiroshima and nagasaki, the continued existence of Josenjing(Koreans) etc happen.He can't stop what never happened, anon.
>>153969527I wouldn't mind a Gray Ghost story, meant to be in-universe.
>>153976010The fact that there are so many non-Whites keeps breaking my suspension of disbelief.
>>153973253>Deoderant with Baby PowderGoddamn.
>>153974637Superman could be set in the 30s
>>153976156retard
>>153973767> but the character existed before Denny O'Neill lameified the dc universe...What? If anything O'Neil was the one to start bringing back the really early Gothic/pulp elements to the character. And when he was editor in the 90's he pushed for them to change Gotham into looking like the Burton movie Gotham as well. But please show me a 60's Batman comic that looks like Batman '89. Even the 40's/50's comics were still pretty bright and colorful, you didn't have art deco buildings everywhere or the pulp feel of '89. Even in the earliest comics it's barely there to the same extent.
>>153972764DKR did
>>153978304not just that, there's an in-universe reason Gotham suddenly looked like the Anton Furst designs, they had a whole story arc dedicated to it. Pretty gay and pathetic really but it shows how desperate the comics were to crib some of that Burtonkino synergy.
I seriously don't understand why they don't just do self-contained stories, games, movies, whatever based on different eras of a character's existence other than 'now'. Do a Golden Age Batman (not dogshit like Caped Crusader), do a 1950's Superman, actually do a Spider-Man or Daredevil set in the 60's. Who gives a fuck if the average brownoid capecuck finds those eras problematic?
>>153978360Not really to the same extent Burton leaned into it. Although I do love this cover for the collected version. Miller leaned into a Batman that was very much contemporary with some art deco elements in the background>>153978365The comics always took stuff from the adaptations that worked well. It's normal.
You won't see it because DC is super self-conscious about Superman being "old fashioned". Batman is already considered cool so you can flex his stories as much as you want, With Superman they worry if showing him in the past will make people think he belongs in the past.
>>153976156The Wonder Woman show is literally the first throwback superhero adaptation, if you don't count Zorro/The Lone Ranger/Doc Savage as superheroeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiO9FyNIMCc
>>153970315Neither Wonder Woman or Batman were period pieces.
>>153979507>being so confidently wrong
>>153978547And they're right. He'd be seen as far less hokey if he was perpetually set in the cold days.
>>153979507The first season takes place in WW2 when the show was made in the 70's.
>>153969527lol wondy was reppin' wakanda even back then
