Can we all agree that dark knight returns had one of the most terrifying incarnations of batman?
I mean batman is somewhat intimidating most of the time. But jesus hes fucking terrifying in this story. Hes huge as fuck and ripped. Dude looks like he could tear your head off like paper. But hes not slow, oh no. Hes inhumanly fast. And lets talk about how merciless he is. He still wont kill but man he will fuck you up badly.
He is fucking terror incarnate. I wish more stories tried similar depictions.
He's the most intimidating but he's not terrifying.
Miller's Year One bats was more terrifying to criminals, especially the page where he's tormenting that one criminal who testifies against the dirty cop.

LOL! Batman pissed himself in that moment LMAO!

>Not terrifying
Are you kidding me? I shit my pants when he grabbed and beat the everliving shit out of that one pimp. From a fucking car roof especially.

Now watch Kevin Smith defense force saying that it's "humanizing" and not a cheap gag.
Really OP, the best way to make bats intimidating is a good artist, good design and to show him in action from the perspective of the criminals hes hunting. Thats where his terror shines.
Bump. I dont want the thread to die.

Eh, in a way, it's both. It's realistic, but Batman's human enough. He doesn't need "humanizing".

Same, imho the more villainess batman is the better. I like when he literally isnt any better than the "actual" villains, but because he thinks he has a moral code that he's better than them.

>he literally isnt any better than the "actual" villains
Except for the fact that he dedicated his whole life to fighting crime, but whatever.
>>78218286
Villainous means like a villain
Villainess means female villain

Shit, thanks for the correction, I was stumbling over that one
>>78218315
>to fighting crime, but whatever.
Yeah, but he just kicks the shit out of people 24/7
>inb4 but they did it 1st to innocentttt people
Thomas Wayne as Batman pretty scary tbqh

this for sure.

Are you retarded? They deserve it. No way you start beating, tormenting and murdering innocent people and say that its villainous or bad when you get whats coming to you.
Not to mention beating them down prevents them from hurting many others.
Oh wait youre just shitposting. Take it somewhere else.

I wasnt against affleck in the beginning like some were, but I definitely wasn't expecting him to end up looking that big. so excited.
>>78218481
I hope we get some good fight scenes with him. If hes based on Miller's batman I want to see the same super fast, brutal fighting style and cold calculation.

>Now Batman is going to fight the way I’ve always dreamed seeing him fight,” Grispo boasts.
“He’s a character so prepared in martial arts that you can do a lot of things with him, but filmmakers usually don’t go all the way with it. Even in the last Nolan movies the action scenes aren’t very good from a technical, martial arts point of view to things like choreography, filming, bad camera movements…”
It's gunna be good
