Batman has been dark and broody decades before the Nolan trilogy.
There have been lighter versions but dark and broody are basically core qualities of the character
Yeah no. I think you're confused because Batman Begins came out in 2005 which was decades ago.
If you forgot he's actually also known as Bruce Wayne and he knows how to smile and have a good time. Any actually cared about the various villains that he fought against. He used to be a clever detective.
Post Nolan he is has lost a lot of complexity. That complexity of the character offset his serious side when the cowl came on.
Look me dead in the eye and tell me Nolan's Batman is better than BTAS. Or is even in the same ballpark.
I'm talking about Batman the character, you know? The one first published in 1939. There have been multiple versions but "dark and broody" has been a pretty common trait
No, it's been well established he cannot get past the trauma of having his parents murdered in front of him. Actually, it has been well established he is now Batman and Bruce is the disguise... So no, he doesn't really know how to have a good time
Not really Nolan's fault and not what you claimed first either. Batfleck for example was not dark and broody, he was just a fumbling idiot who claimed his superpower was money
Again moving the goal post ... What does BTAS have to do with your comment that Nolan made Batman dark and broody??
If anything Nolan had by miles the best live action Bruce Wayne, the whole billionaire airhead mask he created Bruce, the character in that universe is perfect. Nobody would believe that asshole rich dude that showers with top models in a pool inside a restaurant and buys the place in that instant is Batman. It works.
Later version like that hulking dumbass Batfleck or extremely emo Battinson don't work as well. Also I don't see what's so great about Keaton batman, he's so boring and quiet, with no contrast between Bruce and batman. Then the one scene with emotion is the LET'S GET ๐ฅ scene but that's it.
So you just like the new lazy writing. Got it.
Because I know you didn't just draw a straight line from the 1939 Batman to the current Batman and was like 'these are the same!'
I'll go watch my Adam West to Kevin Conroy versions. Where he was a multi-dimensional character. And you can enjoy the more modern one where he glares at people and had been reduced to 'I'm Batman'. And this is where we part ways. Cuz this is a threat about opinions I gave mine and you are clearly mad that I don't like your favorite version of Batman.
Multi dimensional Adam west? LMAO he was either a corny ass rich dude or a corny ass hero. With bad jokes even for the era.
No idea where you are drawing this from
Oh I see, you lack reading comprehension. To make it extra clear, having a common trait (what I actually said) does not mean "these are the same"
I'm not mad at all... Disagreeing with you does not make me your enemy... You care confusing me with yourself lol
