You cannot argue with history

Batman's history is still history.

(By the by, this is the show I've now gotten kind of hooked on. Check iout the full episodes, they're usually pretty fun.)

Hilarious! I so approve! I was just showing Luke that showdown with Mr Freeze from Batman and Robin yesterday, because (God forbid) he's never seen the whole movie before. We were so entertained we're now sekritly renting it from Netflix. My freakin' sides hurt.

I maintain that is not the worst comic book movie ever made because the laugh value was there. It's a valid successor to the TV series!

I can't believe how much I used to like Batman Forever. Then I watched this clip and wanted to die.

Awesome :)

Tho I will say this: Batman's initial dark and gritty period started with Detective Comics #27, and ended ... with Detective Comics #38, about a year later, when Robin appeared on the scene. It's hard to be dark and brooding when you have a teenager in a Christmas-colored leotard running around with you. I think it's telling that none of the "good" Batman movies have Robin in them.

Waitaminute... teenagers = LESS dark and brooding?

Gee Robin, I might understand your emo pain more if you DIDN'T DRESS LIKE A CHRISTMAS ELF ALL YEAR.

Christmas Elf, nothing. What about the fact the kid is running around in panties with a grown man?

Interesting read. One that, you'd be pleased to know, Christian Bale apparently shares. He interviewed back when Batman Begins came out that he felt having a Robin cheapened the story and made it silly. I'm guessing Nolan agreed with him since they've gone out of their way to establish their Batman as a loner who is hostile towards imitators but also defensive of people with similar issues who'd prefer them to stay off the track he's on.

Man. I forgot how bad those Schumacher films were. I should hunt down a copy of Batman Returns though.

You might want to spring for the box set of the four some time if just to watch the Schumacher films with the commentary on. Rumor has it that he apologizes for the nipple suits and just about everything else.

But yeah, I love the Burton Batman films, even if they completely break the character in a few ways.
