i don't get it.
what are you trying to say to me?
Batman is a Symbol.
i don't get it.
what are you trying to say to me?
yeah i know thatBatman is a Symbol.
yeah i know that
but what does that have to do with what i said
did something i say contradict him being a symbol
why should that Batman have to change
when like @VampireWicked said there are so many other characters that could be exactly what you want that get no love
is this thread supposed to see a problem with a dark/brooding batman or how flat/emotionless/stiff and boring the batman is in arkham games?
Basically, do you think if anyone else had Batman's personality, they'd be considered dull and too brooding or would they get as much praise as Batman?
how can you create a new and interesting character that is able to gain a high level of notability above all other pre-existing ones?
Neither. The question is asking how we'd respond to a character if they had Batman's characteristics and traits. Would their reception be as favourable?
Implied here -
You come to know and accept characters for how they're portrayed. There'll always be another person's spin on an already well established character, such as Batman. I don't think the question should be about how we'd take the new character in terms of, well, their character. But shouldn't we be asking, how can you create a new and interesting character that is able to gain a high level of notability above all other pre-existing ones?
i said the dark brooding Batman shouldn't have to changeThis part
Because Arkham games have sloppy writing in general despite Kevin Conroy's TAS batman being my fav versions of batman.. Arkham Series's batman is my LEAST favourite he's so wooden&bland!
yeah video games are different most of the time you have the teams make disconnected levels bosses set pieces and the writers are told to find a way to make them all connectI agree with @ROCKMAN X a bit but i think the reason Batman comes across as wooden is because it's a video game script & video game writers are different from cartoon/movie writers.
I'm just saying that a different form of Batman every now and then wouldn't be bad. Most of the batmans that have been shown are brooding, dark, and Gothic. Or at the very least make a better dark batman that doesn't have the same kind of character as every other batman.My thing is what's wrong with a dark & brooding Batman to begin with.
Batman's acting too much like BatmanOr at the very least make a better dark batman that doesn't have the same kind of character as every other batman.
Batman's acting too much like Batman
Batman should be more like Batman and less like Batman
the ideal Batman should have more Batman with less Batman and some elements of Batman
LOL i don't even understand what where all saying anymore
One thing about Batman, though, is that his enemies are so outlandish and have such big personalities. Think about it, if you were Commissioner Gordon and some dude dressed as a bat came up to you and started talking about his plan to save Gotham and he was acting as out-there and animated as the villains act...would you take him seriously? Would you think "oh, gee, this guy really wants to help Gotham and I should let him!" or would you think he needs to be locked up in Arkham? I mean, I agree; at times he's portrayed as so flat and broody that he gets kinda wangsty and I just sit there hoping he'll get knocked on his butt to shut him up. But, as @VampireWicked and @Director Bison both stated, why can't Batman be dark and brooding and solemn as long as he's written well? Why does he have to be a bright and cheerful Bat-dude just cuz a few people have written him poorly?
It's not so much I want him to be written as a bright character, rather I just want to see something written about him that's DIFFERENT from the norm of the batman stories.
