Tom and Tyler are my favourites. I do feel Tom should've had more time to shine, though. Especially after seeing him in Crisis as an older, depowered Clark.
My take on Batman, with 2 colour schemes.
I have some fanart I've done for DC (Specifically Batman) of my takes on the various costumes of our favourite heroes, I wanted to post it here but for fear of it being taken down I decided to ask you guys if that was allowed here first.
Grazie mille
Batman Who Laughs tries too hard, Phantasm is good, but I feel that the best anti-batman is easily Owlman (Thomas Wayne Jr.) pre-New52
@NUFAN88 the DCU hasn't even started yet, give it a chance.
Okay. So, we all know Batman. Bruce Wayne, a young boy whose parents were brutally gunned down in front of him during the most important developmental years of his life. This crucial event in his childhood ends up planting a seed inside of young Bruce. And from that seed, Batman was born. And what's one, crucial part of Batman as a character? His rules. His morals. Among one of them, it's that he DOES NOT KILL. For any reason. But the reason as to why have become so convoluted, so unequivocally ridiculous, I feel that they do a massive disservice to his character, and make him look just as insane as the criminals he fights every night. What could I be talking about, you ask? THE FUCKING 'If I were to kill, I wouldn't be able to stop' BULLSHIT! Batman doesn't kill for 2 simple reasons.
The main reason Batman DOES NOT KILL is directly tied to the death of his parents. This senseless act of violence instilled in him the belief that all life is sacred. And the act of taking a life would make him no better than the villains he faces every day. He believes, regardless of who they are, everyone deserves a second chance. An opportunity to change for the better.
By making him not kill because he wouldn't be able to stop himself, it takes away from one of the most vital parts of his character, and makes it difficult for us readers to root for him whenever we know that he genuinely thinks like this. Someone can be deeply disturbed and traumatised, and even violent, without having the desire to just go ballistic and actually Murder hundreds, even thousands of people. Regardless if they were criminals or not. I am a living example of this, having DID due to extreme trauma in my own childhood. This is why even among the vast amount of Batman comics that are coming out, I always find myself going back to the earlier comics in the 80's. I hope that we can leave this characterisation in the comics in the past, and that any media in the future with Batman can capture the essence of his character once more. (specifically talking about James Gunn's Brave And The Bold in the DCU)
But we'll just have to wait and see.
It's genuinely brilliant.
Honestly, blue is starting to grow on me. But it needs to be a darker blue. My all-time favourite batsuit is the Rebirth Batsuit (it would be even better if it had the trunks) But the blue is just so striking.
Pyg regularly turns ordinary civilians into lobotomised death machines with no identity of their own. Pyg takes this.
Penguin actually treats his gang decently well, he just has a temper problem if people talk about him negatively. So long as I was respectful and did my job, I'd be fine.
Blue Beetle was honestly a great movie. Shazam 2 was strange, but enjoyable. Flash was an absolute shitfest, and the CGI didn't help it at all.
Andy really sold the fatherly vibe for me, easily one of my favs. (Michael Gough is a close second) and Michael Caine's alfred was fine up until Rises. Complete 180.
Superman/Batman: World's Finest OR Superman Unbound. I forgot which
And then this is my ideal suit for David (although I'm partial to the black back of the logo with gold trim) with the yellow back logo and maybe a shorter cape. Like stopping at the top of the boots.
When I said 'homemade' I meant this
@Jstewart2007 I want David to have it the whole way through for the DCU, just changing the logo and cape + whatever textures they use to fit the movies. In Legacy I would love if he had his homemade costume in the beginning and then gets the classic suit with the trunks sometime during the middle of it.
@Leader Vladimir I 100% agree with you there. Superman's design is one of those things that doesn't really need to be radically changed. Trunks are the best
@Bonkidus.Shwonkidus Not 100% sure about the comics, might be misinformed about that. I just know King Shark has been queer for a WHILE.
@VaranKing Constantine dated King Shark in comics. You give me the ick.
@Jstewart2007 I am in 100% agreement with you. My ideal Superman Suit has the yellow back logo, red trunks, and a nice texture to give it detail without unnecessary stitching or lines. I'm either/or on Black or Yellow symbol.
