I don’t want a dark and twisted batman that watches Catwoman change through her window.

I want a bat credit card and ice puns.

The whole plot is that robin is scared of getting bracers. The joker taunts him with those fake chittering walking teeth.

    I don’t want bat credit card and ice puns either. It’s good for a laugh, but only because of how bad it is.

    Just make Batman serious without making him unnecessarily edgy. We don’t need to psychoanalyze every little thing interesting about him until it’s not interesting anymore, especially not in the first movie. Leave the viewers to fill in some blanks.

    The Arkham games were a great example that you can have a serious batman and still have a silly but dangerous Joker. And all they did was ramp up the actually good cartoon series that is still better than the movies.

    Batman Returns got the balance absolutely right between treating the situation seriously while also keeping some of the more campy and cartoon elements.

    “No more realistic super heroes,” he says! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

    To steal from paraphrase George Carlin, “no more jumbo shrimp! No more hot-water heaters!”

    I sympathize with this sentiment, but Batman is always used as an example and I don’t understand why. The darker movies are much closer in style to the comics (I’m thinking Year One, Long Halloween, etc.). Is there something I’m missing or are people just frustrated because they have nostalgia for the campy 20th century film adaptations?
