Batman Begins was competing with Batman '89 to present a more serious take on the character. In the same way, Batman '89 was competing with Batman '66 to present a more serious take on the character.

People tend to forget that. A lot of young people chide Batman '89 for being slightly tongue-in-cheek and for not going for a sense of total realism. But, at the time, the most popular image of Batman was the campy 1966 series. This was the film that showed the general public that Batman could be serious.

I always point to the James Bond movie Licence to Kill as a reason why Batman '89 could not have been fully serious. They tried doing a straight 007 film that same year, without comedy, surrealism, or any tongue-in-cheek behavior and the film absolutely flopped. (Destroyed at the box office by Batman '89, no less.) Audiences of the 80s still saw superheroes as being primarily for children. The 1976 Superman and 1989 Batman movies were about showing that maybe, just maybe, superhero movies could be approachable for adults.

that is pretty cool.

how does gamefaqs posting mesh with being over 40? Like, do your kids have accounts too? Do you post because youre bored at work? To relax after work? To take a break from the wife?

Legit tho, what a terrible joker. I think only old people like this movie

The Mayflower

hard to be morally superior when you put people down for their nationality, shame on you

And it just looked like continuous application of the mixture and combing.

how creepy pariahs talk about their "crushes" when they really mean "prey"

Jesus christ hell no. And why the hell am I the only one voting no.

Which one though?

The Kids of Degrassi Street, Dregassi Junior High, Degrassi High or Degrassi the Next Generation?

My fav was Junior High

I'd be mad too if my username was one of the worst songs on Ride the Lightning.

I'm so glad I'm not an uptight person.

Gonna need specifics
