To think that Batman is cooler than any superhero?

That's about it really. Batman is awesome, superman is an overgrown boyscout, the green lantern is defeated by yellow, and all the flash does is run a bit.

Batman has a cave and a car and gadgets galore! And black is way cooler than the whole red undies over blue leotard look.

I'm obviously not BU but let's just have a bit of a Batman love in for a while :)

and Jason Bourne, he was good, and Daniel Craig

Plus Batman is played by Christian Bale and he is in fact a nob.

And there can now never be another joker because they can't replace Heath Ledger... Batman is over.

Ironman also has no powers, only technology, and is cooler than batman IMO.

Arf, Marvel.

If you can't handle serious plots and complex characters.

manicbmc · 22/06/2012 22:23

Well true.

But Adam West gave Batman the right amount of 'camp'. Christian Bale is very good at being brooding though. Grin

Comics aren't all superheroes though.

BobbysBeardOfWonder · 22/06/2012 22:24

Mmmmm Christian Bale....

FunnysInLaJardin · 22/06/2012 22:24

Christian Bale, thats him. Quite good. And Sean Connery, he was good too

:o MrsK.

I am 7 again!

UrIndoors · 22/06/2012 22:25

Titsalina why is Christian Bale a nob? Confused I seem to dimly remember some tale about him shouting at someone possibly while tired and emotional

PooPooInMyToes · 22/06/2012 22:25

Oh damn it! Should have saved my "pretending to know about superheroes" routine for this thread.

spring the only reason tony stark can stand up is because he's in a metal suit. He's an alcoholic wastrel with a god complex and energy pulses shooting from his hands!

I'd be overjoyed to have him looking after me as opposed to a man who is totally committed to his day (night) job.

I do like the fact that loads of film heros are brits at the moment.

New Spiderman. Brit.
New superman. Brit.
Batman. Brit.

Superbrits!

DC? Serious plots and complex characters? MrK says, Watchmen or anything else Alan Moore-related aside, what exactly would these be? Grin

TitsalinaBumSquash · 22/06/2012 22:31

There is several accounts of Christian Bale using the "don't you know who I am" line.

I don't know the guy so I could be wrong of course, he could be sweetness and light in RL.

He's no Robert Downey Jr though

cocolepew · 22/06/2012 22:32

DD was watching old stylee Batman yesterday. It was hilarious. Camp doesnt cover it.

I always had a soft spot for Spiderman. Mainly because I knew all the words to the theme tune and I wanted web to shoot out of my wrists.

AllYoursBabooshka · 22/06/2012 22:35

MrsK, He sounds excatly like my DP.

I'm beginning to wonder how we have lasted so long!

MrsKwazii · 22/06/2012 22:35

My fave part of old skool Adam West Batman is the Joker actor Cesar Romero having his moustache poorly covered up with white facepaint Grin

manicbmc · 22/06/2012 22:35

Mark Hamlin was a good Spidey. Grin

Is there a new Superman coming out? I really don't fancy the latest Spiderman film - just looks like a lot of computer effects and not much plot.

WorraLiberty · 22/06/2012 22:35

This made me laugh when I saw it on Facebook Grin

comixminx · 22/06/2012 22:35

Judge Dredd is cooler than Batman or Superman, nyah.

The best thing about Superman is the stories of his Girlfriend, Lois Lane, or his Pal, Jimmy Olsen.
