I thought some one tried to do a Batman, where Alfred was actually Bruce's father, and the Wayne's are degenerate druggies?

Maybe it should be a separate topic, but what in your opinion(s) are the dumbest retcons in comic history. My brain still screams over one more day and fall out from that.

Batman Movie + Bane = Failure



That's really all you need to know. If they're going to Bane, they've already conceded their lack of creative skill.

Bane is lame. I think a Riddler might have been a better choice or, I dunno anything else...

No, seriously ...

Calendar Man makes a better movie villain than Bane.

Try villains from other books. Lex Luthor or Magneto or God

Luchador Hulk seems kinda silly to me. But I will wait and see how Nolan handles it.

You mean other than he's a bad villain from a bad story arc and a bad "character killing" event?

You need 3 movies to make Bane work as a movie villain.

a) There has to be an "Oh **** Everyone's Escaped from Arkham" movie.

b) There has to be a Joker crowbarring Jason Todd in the brain pain movie.

c) There has to be a Bane movie where Batman loses.

And, see, that's the thing ... You can't actually have Batman lose in a 2 hour movie. You can't have him re-incarcerating his entire Rogue's Gallery in about 6 weeks of time with no sleep, no rest, no Robin ...

Because ... the Joker crowbarred Jason Todd's skull.

But the Nolan films don't have Robin, so we can dispose of #2.

The only issue I have is that goofy-looking mouthpiece on Bane. Maybe it'll make sense in the full film.

Arafys:

Which means you can't have Bane ...

Because Bane can't beat Bats unless Bats is ...

a) Going for a new world record in sleep deprivation and exhaustion ...

b) Not right in the skull because Robin was the victim of some Forehead Croquet.

I think part of the problem here is the perception that Batman absolutely can not lose, ever.

I would like to clarify my above comment after a conversation with Khross.

Corolinth's **** Your Couch, Batman Fanboys Thesis wrote:
(10:52:58 AM) Corolinth: Here's the thing about Bane.
(10:53:20 AM) Corolinth: And I've never read the comics, which ironically makes me uniquely qualified to comment here as I'm untainted by bias.
(10:54:10 AM) Corolinth: Bane was created out of a pathological need to see Batman finally lose, which was brought on by a similar pathological need to see Batman never be defeated.
(10:54:58 AM) Corolinth: You can see evidence of the latter in such story arcs as Batman Defeats Evil Superman By Eating a Kryptonite Sandwich and Blowing at Him
(10:55:31 AM) Corolinth: This eventually reached a point where Batman's string of victories had gotten silly.
(10:56:09 AM) Corolinth: Now, since Batman's string of victories had gotten so ridiculous, the only way he could ever lose to any opponent was through a horribly contrived set-up.
(10:56:41 AM) Corolinth: This, of course, made Bane a terrible story arc by the story's very nature as a contrived Batman-killing scenario.
(10:57:00 AM) Corolinth: Conveniently ignoring that most of Batman's victories are contrived Batman-wins scenarios.

I read that line too fast. Amazing how different a mental picture can be when your brain accidentally omits one small word.


And, yeah, I am sure that would defeat superman too.

Nah, forehead croquet Gordon. It'll do the same thing.

What about a cartoon Joker voiced by Mark Hamill? Live action Batman movie, with Animated Series Joker.

Per Larry Niven you don't wanna do that - might as well put a shotgun in your mouth and pull the trigger...
