I do. Want to see the comic put to film, I mean. I will never get what I want, but when the movie producers make pointless, and frankly, stupid changes (yes I know you like them; this is my opinion), it irritates me.
Was it me or did Two-face (Tommy Lee Jones) laugh way too goddamn much? He wasn't sinsiter to me at all....just wild.
I'm basing my image of Two-face on the way he's portrayed in Batman the Animated Series, where he's shown as a struggling soul who suffers from his duel-personality. And he can be evil and scary. I thought Tommy Lee Jones could've been the perfect Two-Face if he just didn't go overboard with the expressions.

Because it was wildy untrue to the source material? The Joker killing Bruce's parents? Batman killing people? Bleh.Batman Returns was even worse. What the hell sort of drug were the writers using when they wrote Catwoman's origins? And the Penguin acted nothing like he does in the comic.
Well said Gregory.Hey looks like we agree on the first batman movie betraying the source material.Batman was a horrible adaptation,not at all a great one like Superman was.I also agree with you that Batman Returns was even worse.

actually it was very bad from the beginning with the horrible casting choice of keaton as Batman and Tim Burton being allowed near a batman frachise.

You don't think Batman killing people matters? Should I assume you haven't read the Knightfall story-line?
I know many of you probably think I'm being overly picky, but I look at it like this. There's a lot more to Batman than the spiffy outfit, and there's more to him than a vigilante motivated by the deaths of his parents. Nightwing is also motivated by the deaths of his parents, and durring Prodigial he wore the Mantel of the Bat, but he wasn't the Batman I know and love. The movie Batman is like that. He strikes me as closer to the Azbat than to Bruce Wayne. I didn't like the Azbat in the comics; why would I like him in a movie?

Yeah Batman killing people isnt the batman that most people know and love from watching the 60's tv show or the cartoons.I wanted to see the batman I know and love,not this coward who goes around killing people.Thats what he WAS.A coward killing the jokers goons like he did sending in the batmobile when he wasnt even in the car dropping the bomb in front of them like he did.Batman would NEVER do such a cowardly act killing people in such cowardly fashion like that.Then killing his arch enemy The Joker at the end? that totally betrayed the batman mythos.Regardless of what the joker did in the past,that was murder he committed and he should have been wanted for murder at the end instead of being treated like a god damn hero,Batmans not authorized by the poilce to go out and kill people for christ sakes.All the batman movies were horrible in one way or another,they did not stay true to the source material unlike the first two superman movies did.
well i hate the batman movie the one with baldie-keaton as batsy.well don't get me wrong,it isn't his looks i'm the most annoyed about. it's everything else!!!!!!!!sure keston did act a lili bit like batsy but WHAT ABOUT THE IDIOTIC WOMAN WHO PLAYS THE GIRL?!she was ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!she made me laugh!!!!!!i bet when casted her they were all drunk or something
Originally posted by Mr ParkerAnbd how was it like a James Bond movie? I saw NO similarities.
No it sure didnt,it was more like a James Bond movie than a Batman movie.I mean come on,call the movie something else if your not going to be loyal to the comicbook for god sakes!!!!!! 😠 😠
And, you must know that when a comic book movie is made, they stay as loyal to it as humanly possible, while making a couple necessary changes so it makes more sense on the screen. Sacrifices are always made.
