Yeah, they should've stuck to the gumdrops and rainbows Batman we know from the comics.
Oh wait.

how else would it work lmao
I don't think the issue with TDK movies was their tone, (they handled it pretty well) it was in their silly plots and esp in TDKR really bad dialogue (and bad action scenes- Nolan CANNOT direct action except that one corridor sequence in Inception). I don't think any of the movies are terrible- BB and TDK are really solid, TDKR is too flawed for me to call it good but it's not awful. But that's all they really are if you ask me. Solid movies. 7/10's or so. There's nothing particularly stellar about them except Ledger's performance as The Joker.
I feel the Daredevil TV show has done a FAR better job at doing what TDK trilogy attempted.

The realism doesn't really clash with the 'wearing a halloween costume and being a superhero' part in my opinion
Like, if you tried to fight crime while dressing yourself in fake plastic pecs, a cape and a cat mask in real life, you'd probably be thrown in a mental institution
Nolan's batman trilogy undeniably has it's flaws, but please don't try to say you weren't floored when you first saw them in theatres
I don't see the big deal about 1984/Fahrenheit 451, I think Brave New World is a way better dystopian book
Can anyone tell me why they are considered among the greatest books of all time?

Both of you miss the point of what I said. I didn't say gritty Batman was bad, I said the Nolan movies are too gritty. There's a point where it stops being serious and engaging, and where it just gets stupid. Nolan's movies rip out all the fun (think of how Joker is insane in a humorous way, and not just a guy in makeup who wants to kill people) of Batman and replace it with boredom.
Maybe I just have a different idea of what Batman is, I don't know. I just know that the Nolan movies I could not take seriously at all.

It's cooler to hate things than to like 'em, apparently.
[editline]2nd May 2015[/editline]
it's probably wise to take what I just said with a huge bunch of salt
I dunno the fact that they reached a nice contrast between serious and humor with Nolan's joker is why its my favourite.
I really don't get why people love TV Shows like Arrow and Flash. Fuck me right?
[QUOTE=Starlight 456;47646251](think of how Joker is insane in a humorous way, and not just a guy in makeup who wants to kill people)[/QUOTE]
Um, no. He isn't. Maybe in his early appearances but he hasn't been humorously insane in a long-ass time.
Daredevil is so much better than any other Marvel related production its insane

When I first saw the The Dark Knight, honestly, I was just confused :v:
Anyway, the Batman movies handle their grittiness well in my opinion. They feel gritty in a way that is deliberate but not heavy handed. They're still very colorful whenever color is called for. We all tend to think of that interrogation scene, but remember the rest of the movie as well, it was perfectly colorful, if serious.
My biggest problem, as always, is Batman. I appreciate that Batman is a super srs gritty character, but I just cannot take it seriously whenever he walks in to a room looking like [I]this[/I]

Well shit, I'm sorry that sometimes I have to think about what I'm going to say next, in order to make my words not sound fucking harsh, misplaced or anything, because if I don't think about it, I'm going to say something really fucking blunt and you'd think I'm an asshole for being blunt, and if I don't do that, then you think I should be ripped apart by oversized cats for taking time to talk

While I agree with you, perhaps you could look into the definition of hyperbole as well as the definition of an opinion.
Meanwhile, I'm going to spend time looking at clip-art of lions.
Let's not forget to mention that there's people out there who can't do shit about it due to some neurological/psychological condition. By your reasoning, those people don't deserve to wander this planet.

Yeah, that dude's rocking a superiority complex, and a nonsensical one at that. I'd rather someone explain to me at normal speed what's going on, as opposed to hyperactive batshit speed. I know a few people that perform the latter. It's terrible.

Maybe I should have been more specific. Anyone, who doesn't have a reason for doing these things, should face that punishment. The amount of people I encounter on a daily basis that go ( e.g. ) "i *30 second pause* am *30 second pause* going *30 second pause* out *30 second pause* tonight. *30 second pause* Want *30 second pause* to *30 second pause* come *30 second pause* with?" is frustrating. They take about 5 minutes to say a 4 word sentence. And they can't all have neurological problems. Maybe the more annoying part is when people do these things when I'm busy. If I'm trying to catch a bus, I don't want to be stuck behind some teenagers that walk at 0.005m/ph. Neither do I want to be interrupted for 20+ minutes while I'm studying because someone has to say one 5 word sentence but because they didn't think about what they were going to say before they approached, I have to endure their stuttering that is entirely their fault, not because of psychological issue. I'm not that cold-hearted.
I kind of agree with you about people walking really slow, but it's not exactly worth the time and effort to get angry about that.
About people talking slow, remember that some people are really, really anxious about just talking. You getting angry about it doesn't exactly help their case either. Just be patient, imagine what it's like to be in their shoes. They're trying their best to overcome that anxiety, hell, sometimes it can even be an achievement in itself for some people to do something as simple as starting a sudden, casual conversation. And then that sense of achievement is ransacked because the other party gets annoyed from this slow dimwit mouthbreather barbaric unintellectual, causing them to shut down again and relapse right back into that old pattern they were so hopeful to break.

Also I really dislike this sentence of yours:
[quote]I have to endure their stuttering that is entirely their fault[/quote]
[I]You[/I] 'have to endure' their stuttering that is [I]'entirely' their fault[/I]? Sorry, but you're dead wrong. [I]They[/I] have to endure the other party being the fuck annoyed over something that they're really trying their damnest at to improve, something that for some people is completely self-explanatory.

I don't understand the hate that people give The Pinball Arcade. The only problems I've noticed personally have had to do with licensing issues but that's totally outside of FarSight's control. Plus you've got a professional emulation of pinball games IN 3D nonetheless instead of Visual Pinball's 2D design, and TPA's leagues better than what we've been getting for years.
Then again maybe it's just because I'm a filthy casual who doesn't play pinball like a pro. Who knows.
