Batman 66' was good. The Adam West one.

My god the fags losing their minds over this movie are annoying.

It was 99% normie jokes and Bruce's generic character arc is just "I was an asshole, then I learned the power of friendship!"

If you honestly think that cookie cutter arc is more complex than Batman in the comics, you obviously have not read many comics.

>>90257100

More complex than Batman comics absolutely not. More complex and a better adaptation than the animated versions no.

But as a big screen movie it was unironically the best DC superhero big screen movie adaptation in 30 years or perhaps ever.

It utterly shits all over the Snyderverse while being chock full of great characters, references, and an emotionally rewarding plot.

Batmans a slut

See, this movie "gets" him. That he needs others and that deep down he loves the people in his life. And people for years have been saying that Batman is nothing without his Rogues, that they're just as much his family as the real Batfamily. Watching them all team up to fight Voldemort and the Kraken was awesome.

And it was hilarious, so theres that too.

>>90256493
...but all of the movies' themes surrounding his character development have been done in the comics too, the movie just did them more over-the-top for comedy purposes.

The point that Dick saved Batman as much as vice-versa is literally maintext in modern Batman comics about their relationship; he was reckless and obsessive because he had nothing to live for but The Mission, but Dick forced him to be more responsible, take less stupid risks, and generally brood less because nobody can not smile in Robin's presence all day. Morrison expanded on this to develop Batman back from the brooding lone vigilante of the 90s and early 00s into a more stable, well-rounded father figure to an ever-expanding Bat-family. Him learning the value of teamwork, taking Robin under his wing only to push him away to protect him only to realize he can't always? That's all from the comics, just exaggerated for comedy.

Meh. My expectations were too high from The Lego Movie, but I was mostly unimpressed. If anything it showed me why Batman never gets development and preferably only gets about 30 minutes of screen time. 0 fucks given Batman is tons of fun until he wears his welcome, but "my first emotional development" Batman comes off as boring and vaguely patronizing.

Have you ever considered that the film is presenting the same simple arc as the comics, just in a different light? That maybe the comics aren't as deep and meaningful as you'd once thought, since arcs like "Batman needs to cope with his parents' death in a healthier way" and "Batman deals with his messiah complex" and "Batman is as broken as the criminals he fights" are all too common in the source material?

>>90261038
Strongly disagree.
If you enjoyed the first LEGO movie, you'll like this. It's very similar in terms of tone and how much of it can be enjoyed by both kids and adults. Only swap out the references to stuff like Johnny Thunder and Bionicle with references to Batman and DC Comics in general.

>>90270173
>That's what someone who overcompensates says.
Of course, the man who dresses like a giant bat in order to get himself labeled an urban myth and strike fear into the hearts of criminals wouldn't be one to overcompensate, now would he?

>>90256493
I wouldn't go that far. He certainly feels like a more fleshed out character that in 99% of his movies or comics though. I feel like most writers like to write Batman as Batman and forget that he's a person and not just a meme.

>>90270514
Are you really asserting he became notorious out of pure ego? I know this is either "Devil's Advocate" or for shits n' giggles. So let's not pretend you believe that.

>>90270605
I'm saying that Batman's entire strategy is shock and awe. He purposely put little bat ears on his cowl to leave an impact. He has a big signal shining in the sky as a symbol of his presence. Batman is not a subtle guy.
Hell, his catchphrase is "I'M BATMAN". He wants you to know that 1) he is Batman and 2) you ain't shit.

Everything about his superhero persona is about psychological warfare backed up with rock-solid fists.

>>90270725
Psychological warfare is not comparable to pulling out an electric guitar to impress the public. He tries to be mysterious as a means to an end. Not bluster and tell everyone how great he is. He wants to scare his enemies. Not impress his friends.

Yet they still love him because they know most of Bruce's decisions have reason. An Asshole wouldn't care about his friends. Bruce care more than anyone about them. Which why he's willing to be tough on them to make a point.

I liked the movie but you fags are elevating a simple and cookie cutter plot higher than what it actually is. Bruce's arc can be summarized as such:

>I hate relationships.
>I need you to do something for me so I'll act stand-offish and gradually form a bond with you.
>Oh no, I'm afraid of being part of a family again. Time to ditch them as part of a misguided sacrifice.
>Wait, I actually like them so maybe being part of a family isn't so bad.

It's as bare-bones as could possibly be. Lego Batman has a lot of things going for it, the plot just isn't one of those things.

>>90256493
Thinking about this film, I got the feeling that the movie was sending up pop-culture using Batman as a vehicle rather than just the Batman mythos itself.
>The whole open with black screen and quote/end with white ramble
