Would an Adam West style Batman work today in a movie? What would happen if they tried? I'm so sick of grounded grimdark shit. DC is shit now anyways so what if they just went for it?
>>155104648>Adam West>grounded grimdarkHow about we split the difference and get a Mark Waid?
>>155104818I don't know if Mark Waid can play Batman
>>155104648Not a movie, but I'm sure a TV show like that would do fine as parents would love another show that they could let their kids watch.
>>155104648I'm sick of shitty writing. I don't give a fuck if it's grounded grimdark or heckin wholesoimerino, it better be good.>>155104818Mark Waid is shit!
>>155104915>it better be good.Has there actually been anything good? I only consume things from 20 years ago now.
>>155104648The 60s show was a comedy but not a smarmy spiteful cynical wheadon/Gunn style mockery.
>>155104945I truly don’t understand why everyone isn’t doing this
only if it was clever and not stupid like today's movies
>>155104648I think it would work today. Though I wouldn't know who would portray Batman in an Adam We style show or movie.
>>155104648no
>>155104648Who could possibly play Batman? Tom Holland could do Robin.It could work but it's highly dependent on the absolute perfect Batman.
>>155104648>Would an Adam West style Batman work today in a movie? sure why not
>>155104648People jerk about the versatility of Batman but you can't escape the fact that bats are creatures of the night and his city is called GOTHam. Doesn't mean an adaptation has to be humourless but I feel going full West is fundamentally revisionist and parodic.>>155104971It was more cynical than people today realise.
>>155104971>>155104971>but not a smarmy spiteful cynical wheadon/Gunn style mockery.That was all it was anon.
>>155108385>People jerk about the versatility of Batman but you can't escape the fact that bats are creatures of the night and his city is called GOTHamIt's simple we make a Cybergoth Batman. https://w.youtube.com/watch?v=gPbVRpRgHso
>>155104648>Would an Adam West style Batman work today in a movie?Brave & The Bold did this a while ago and proved it would absolutely work. So yeah, totally. I might even go see it.
>>155110131Nope
How did the Batman '66 DTV do? That might be a hint.
>>155108385>bats are creatures of the nightThat doesn't really hold up when spiders are seen as scary by so many people but Spider-man exists.
>>155110169>Brave & The Bold did this a while ago and proved it would absolutely workDidn't it prove the opposite. The ratings were decent, but not enough to warrant another season
The fact is that it would be wildly successful
>>155110197By your logic we need to make the Teen Titans more like the Teen Titans Go versions for the movies
>>155111667Not a fact, but a theory.
>>155104945The best comics of today are rehashing what was done 30 years ago.
>>155115907Such as?
>>155104648If they really went in with the 60’s low budget production style and technique, it would be straight kino but nobody but niche nerds like me would like it. The first season of Danger 5 was essentially that but while it’s a cult classic, it’s still just a cult classic.
>>155106502Nicholas Cage?>but it's Nicholas CageHis line deliveries in Kick Ass come to mind.
>>155118385Cage would be kino as a silver age Adam West Batman. But not Holland. I think Timothee might actually be funny if he did it. Nigga would probably want green pants, and that would be fine with me.
>>155104648>We showed you our Batpoles, now please respond.
>>155104648>Would an Adam West style Batman work today in a movie?Yes, theoretically. We've gotten superhero parodies within the last 20 years and they seemingly did fine so I don't see why another one wouldn't work.
>>155117134Dark PatternsAbsolute Martian ManhunterAbsolute Batman
>>155104648Anything works when you have capable writers, nothing does when you don’t
>>155120194>if thing is good, then it is not badnice tautology that tells us absolutely nothing
>>155104648Sadly, no. Even the Wonder Woman '77 book touched on the idea that Bruce's idealized game of Cops & Robbers couldn't last with the changing times.
>>155120194This.>>155120202It tells you everything. Fire shit writers, hire good writers.
>>155104648camp is always welcome so I'm sure it'd have no trouble finding an audience :3c
>>155121173>It tells you everythingthe statement basically says "thing is good when written well" which tells us nothing we already knew
Nah, he's gotta be Gothic James Bond to be cool.
>>155122147Nope
>>155122147Yep!
>>155122147Maybe
>>155122147Hell yes
>>155104648There are no comedy movies anymore.
>>155125831No
>>155104648Yes if it was an animated movie for kids, or if they somehow did a a live action movie where the running joke is Batman acts the same as the Adam West version while everything around him is R-rated Deadpool-style.
>>155104648>>155125977We got two direct to DVD animated moviesThey were fun
>>155122147This
>>155122147That
>>155104648There's a non-zero chance it would've been well-received
>>155127676True. People like this gay shit.
>>155128658Stfu, projecting faggot
>>155104648Batman the Brave and the Bold already spiritually succeeded the tone of Adam West Batman.
>>155118304>Danger 5thank you for reminding me of that show
>>155122147Yeah but for decades and decades even longer than Batman James Bond has worked without being Daniel Craig grounded shit. Just give him a cool set deco city like BTAS but not dark. you know like real art deco which exists in the daytime too.
Fuck now I kind of want a batman cartoon with the architecture in the same style as Tim Burton's Batman movies.
>>155129058This is ass, though.
>>155130190Same but the insane Schumacher Batman style with neon lights and gigantic statues everywhere
>>155131364You are
>>155104648I want the reverse of that Joss Whedon quote.>"Make it wacky, make it silly, make it dumb, but then, for the love of God, take it seriously."
>>155131629So Airplane? The directors told the actors to take it seriously and that's where a lot of the humor comes from.
>>155129058There was also the Batman 66 comic (as well as Wonder Woman 77) which I've always wanted to read
