I like what the picture is trying to convey, but I must admt it looks very...cheap. I also think that the pose, while nice for what they're going for, is ill suited for the costume. My meaning is that the suit is obviously not built in a way that comidates the position and pose we see here. That's something that ought to have been considered before the taking of this picture. The material creasing and the obvious muscle suit don't look very nice scrunched like that, especially since its likely that the addition of the muscle suit is the major problem here. As Silver mentioned, the actor playing Superman got super jacked for the role. They added a muscle suit anyway, which is never good, because the bigger the guy the weirder the suit gets with all those layers. Either you show off the muscles or you let the actor stay slim and use the padding. I don't like the tubing either.

One thing I want to share that's making me anxious:


I hope that the author, John Jackson Miller, does not make the mistake of losing '89 in pursuit of fan service, in particular the kind where he attempts to appease 'fans' by trying to make the '89 Batman 'more like the comics.' I mean no offense, but I think I'm allowed to speak frankly in this company, but if I want the 'comic book' Batman I need only pick up a comic. I want a story about the '89 Batman, where we find his voice, crawl into his head space, and take 'Earth-89' on its own terms. That's the right way: Bruce Wayne, charismatic in a distant and aloof sort of way, uncomfortable in his skin, and Batman, still, quiet, and when he does speak he is short, curbed, and to the point. Capture that. As much as I love Hamm's work, so much of what he's doing feels like he's trying to bring Back 'HIS' Batman from the pages of 1986, not deal with Batman as he appeared finalized on movie screens.

Hi, just wanted to let everyone know that I moved this topic to its own thread. Having said that...

Wha?!

I have a sneaky suspicion that this novel is the direct result of the '89 comic book's success. As you know, the editor of the first mini series, Andy Khouri, let it be known to the public that the '89 comic sold "a ton" of books and was considered not only a success, but blew through expectations. Even the hardcover edition went into a second printing and then some. Considering that physical media is dead that is saying something.

What is clear is that customers are not just buying, but devouring new stories set in the Burton Universe, so somebody at WB pushed the button. This is the next step. I never thought I'd see the day when Burton's Batman got an expanded novel universe, but here we are.

The synopsis sounds like a great start. Max Shreck seems to be positioned as a big antagonist, maybe the puppet master. This was something I toyed with when I was trying my hand at fan fiction. Max Shreck ushers in a new era of villainy. Down goes the mob, the Empire of Grissom, in comes the corporation. Can't wait.

Just watched an interview (Jimmy Kimmel) where Keaton explained that this was planned moment. He wore the ascot to, as he put it,'Bruce Wayne' it up.

Don't have access to a link yet, but the original accuser has been outed as a fraudster and embezzler.
