Topic: Everything DC (Movies, Games, Comics, etc...)

I would send a creepy Martian Manhunter picture I made, but I don't know how.

ITs been confirmed that this isn't related to the nolan films and the Line from the Dark knight rises just sounded cool and the movie isn't an adaption

If they're going to adapt any Superman/Batman story my pick would be either world's finest from BTAS or the Detective story arc from Smallville Season 11.

So I have been reading around the web today and various places are saying that the movie will be inspired by the comic arc The Dark Knight Returns. Which pulls Oliver Queen into it as well. So I am wondering if that means they might pull the Arrow TV show into the mix as well?

Probably not until Justice League. From what I gather the movie will draw on the most popular Superman Batman stories but the line read at the panel will factor into the film of the two knowing each other by the middle of the film.

I wouldn't be surprised if they reference arrow but this is strickly a world's finest story. Plus taking from Dark Knight only works with an older superman and Batman and where Superman is the government stoog. DC has worked too hard making superman cool again to have him be apart of the men.

I'm just hoping we get away from the uber realistic nolan batman.

While Frank Miller's utter butchering of Superman's character had plenty to do with Superman's "uncool" look to the ignorant public, the main reason was that people just decided that Superman was lame because he only had one (well-known) weakness and because he isn't human. Therefore, in there eyes, he is unrelatable. I'm kind of bitter if you hadn't noticed already.

I'm just hoping we get away from the uber realistic nolan batman.

I hope they get out of the Baleman formula. Villain is in power, Batman is utterly clueless, Batman finally gets a clue and he wins... sort of.

That isn't what makes superman relatable. Clark Kent is what makes superman relatable and from a psychological stanpoint the superman persona is what we as men strive for the power to make the world a better place. Its one of the big differences between superman and Batman.

Despite being a Kryptonian and being 1 of the most powerful beings on the planet the thing is that Clark Kent that human side is always the dominant persona and superman is just clark kent trying to make a better world,

Contrast that to Batman who has always been shown as Batman being the dominant Persona and Bruce Wayne being the costume for him as a means to an ends. (this doesn't mean he cares not for the persona.). If anything that should make Batman more unrelatable. Its one of the reason why I enjoy the current superman comics as they've been making an effort to focus on clark kent.

As far as Batman goes I hope his costume in the new Universe is a nice medium between The Batman

and
The new 52 batman

Looking back i'm not a fan of the more realistic militaristic take on batman from nolan. (expect Batman Begins as year one should always be pretty low tech). I don't want them too try and rip off Iron Man but one of the coolest thing about the batman is the gadgets and batman works best when he has a range of movement and has a sleak side,

less

and more

@Sony_70 Are you talking about this post I made in "The Question Game" thread?

If you aren't then I'll have to remind you I wasn't talking about what makes Superman relatable, I was talking about why some (ignorant misguided) people think Superman is unrelatable.

Nah I was talking bout what makes him relatable.

Kay. You just confused me when you said

as if in response to what I said. Sorry about that misunderstanding!

@Happy_Mask: Is that Kevin Conroy?

My favorite DC superheroes (Best from top to bottom)
1. Martian Manhunter
2. Superman
3. Green Lantern (I can't decide between Hal or John)
4. Batman
5. Blue Beetle

@Varia01 That's Adam West.

Oh ok. Never heard of him. He must've been a recent voice actor or past live action actor.

Don't know Adam WEAST?!

No. I probably never watched the movies or shows he does Batman on.

Past live-action actor. He played him in the 60's show.

Ok. Than I really KNOW that I didn't watch it.

I mean OUTSIDE of Batman.

I've seen every episode multiple times over decades, and it's still not officially released to dvd. Shame, shame.

Well no. I don't think I've ever watched anything Mr West has acted for.

You've never seen parodies of him?
