I think the majority of the backlash came from people wanting the film to be something other than what it was while not ever bothering to grade the film for what it is.  For me, it ranks above B89 in terms of saying something about the characters and such.  It's hard to compete against the first one in terms of nostalgia, cultural impact, etc, but BR, imho, is the better film experience.  Burton brought his A-game in it's visible in every frame of the movie.  I love it.

Misc. Burton / Re: What was missing?

I loved the Burton movies but I would've liked seeing more pitched fights between Batman and his adversaries.  We got a few decent fights in both films but not to the extent the comics showed.  It's a minor gripe in the scheme of things but there you go.

Another thing was that the nature of the story didn't allow Batman to tackle regular street crime too often.  Batman was mostly focused on the villains of each piece rather than trying to clean up Gotham.  Again, that's how the narrative of each film worked out but I still wouldn't have minded at least one or two scenes where Batman halts a robbery or what have you (which could've led right back to the first thing up there).

Batman (1989) / Re: Batman Dvd cover
Tue, 6 May 2008, 17:34
For what it is, I think it looks awesome.  I *love* the starkness of the bat logo cover ("Nicholson", "Keaton" and the logo; what more do you need??) but you knocked this one right out of the park.

A third Burton/Keaton flick would've been a dream but I've never been able to envision either of them being involved with the various FOREVER script drafts out there.

01- Batman Returns
02- B89
03- Superman: The Movie
04- Superman II (Lester)
05- X2
06- Sin City
07- Mask of the Phantasm
08- The Crow
09- The Shadow
10- Ghost World

Incidentally, I thought Robocop originated in film and then spawned comics.  Isn't it technically then not a comic book film?

Other DC Films & TV / Re: A look at JLA TNF

Overall, I didn't get into TNF all that much.  It was okay, I guess, but it felt, as you say, too slow with all that focus on GL.  Hal Jordan bores me even under the best of circumstances.

TNF is *not* the best of circumstances.

The Batman, Superman and Flash parts were okay but I could take or leave the rest.

No shout outs for Heart of Ice??  For shame!  :)

Agreed.  No matter how unlikely it might be, if we don't ask then the answer is "no".
