You Want Superman Revamp? [Also the Man of Steel (2013) thread]

Live action Tick was A+.

my brother watched Batman Beyond as faithfully as TAS but i just wasn't having it, the whole thing seemed like a terrible idea to me

So Phantasm is great? I remember it getting good reviews when it came out...

it is awesome

it's.... phantastic http://i49.tinypic.com/33wy4au.jpg

still kinda mystified that there was a live action tick show?

I've never seen either TV version but how on earth is it weirder that there's a live-action version starring Puddy than that there was a cartoon?

I've seen two Ben Edlund eps of Angel though, they were dope iirc

live action Tick was not as good as the toon but very good

Cartoon was great

whats the deal with batman beyond

i watched the first few episodes when it started and it was pretty good

the bit that sticks w/ me is from this episode where the bad guys implant something in bruce wayne's brain and try to like make him think hes crazy w/ voices in his head and he gets locked up in the hospital. and at the end the new batman is like "how did you know that you werent crazy and werent actually hearing voices?" and wayne is like "in my head i dont call myself bruce wayne." END. it was a v well done Moment

Kevin Conroy: BEST BATMAN EVER.

If any of you are feeling masochistic, try tracking down a podcast ILX favourite Kevin Smith did a while back with Conroy in which: 1) Smith breaks down in tears recounting his favourite Conroy-as-Batman scene 2) has Conroy use his Batman voice to tell him he's the best and the critics are all wrong.

well now i hate u kevin conroy

just kidding, i could never

i would probably cry if I talked to conroy to. loved that damn cartoon.

*too

It's not the crying I object to, it's Kevin Smith.

oh no, i know

yeah, i think that was p clear

besides, it's ilx, what else could u possibly have meant

i don't think i'll ever cry again, the whole thing has been tainted by Kevin Smith now

good going some dude, I hope everyone is prepared for 150 posts full of "Kevin Smith's taint" jokes

RIP cry

can we just talk about cartoon batman some more and forget the notion of kevin smith's taint-stained jorts

max otm, i hope

most encouraging thing about this to me is the score in the trailer is pretty good.

In keeping with the thread topic and the thread derail, Superman:TAS is one of my favorite depictions of Superman. They need to make a movie in that spirit, not the emo, teal + orange POS this new movie appears to be. STOP WITH THE EMO SUPES ALREADY FFS.

well now i hate u strongo

old lunch I uncovered evidence that you hated batman: TAS, u are banished into the hinterlands and ur opinions are categorically invalidated

this may be my favorite batman coming of the last 20 years and i encourage everyone with an interest in batman or good comics to find a copy

that should have said "batman comic" and not "batman coming" but now i can't stop thinking about "batman coming" and the proximity of that thought to the thought kevin smith's taint is going to result in a bleach cocktail if i don't go to my happy place right now.

well now i really hate u strongo

I may have said Batman:TAS was overrated (tho still v good) but never said I hated it. I dig all the Diniverse stuff.

can we get dan lacey to illustrate this thread?

I was *obsessed* with Batman TAS in college (I don't think I watched in HS bcz it didn't air right away in Aus? Couldn't find anything online to confirm.)

So bizarre guys

I basically rate all of the Dini stuff as one high-qual continuum which is why I don't make a big deal about Batman specifically.

that sentence still makes sense, "my favorite batman coming out of the last 20 years," means the same thing

it could also mean he's no longer interested in living the lie of the closet i guess

my favorite batman "coming out" arc of the last 20 years

The Dark Knight Comes

the batman cometh

gives "Dark Knight Rises" a whole new meaning

Strongo otm, "Mad Love" is great.

Can't wait to see dude's hipster take on Clark Kent

Russell Crowe as Jor-el content, beware.

Bleurgh

Really kinda dreading this. Sadface desaturated Superman = do not want. Also impossible to imagine a Superman movie without John Williams' theme.

I am so tired of emo Nolan-esque superheroes.

Things/people/scenery will be punched.

Realistically that's all we can ask for.
