The C3G Cave - Hangout

I have standards. And when it comes to me (Batman) those standards are super high.
Besides, going from Nolan to Burton is like going from the Mona Lisa to the art that one guy makes out of poo ... are both art? Sure ... but ... well ... one of them's still poo.

Hey, Shuemaker MAYBE as poo, but Burton?! Sigh....

Burton did a great job with what he had. A great job.

[IAmBatman]

With what he had, sure, but cheesy costumes, over dramatic actors who don't fully understand the character, and villains more interested in hamming it up than delving into psychological realism just don't cut it for me. Burton's always been more interested in macabre spectacle than characterization or well developed plots, though.

You have to realize though, people (especially Hollyweird) didn't take comics seriously until X-men or Blade actually but he wasn't really considered a "Super Hero" as much as a modern day Van Helsing. Things have changed and so our movies require more serious and realistic aspects.

[IAmBatman]

Van Helsing was a crappy movie too. Just because the establishment didn't understand the characters at the time doesn't mean I have to like the establishment films from the time.

I think Burton's Batman is a lot less impressive in retrospect. Compared to what we had at the time - campy Batman, Silver Age, Batboats and Robin in tights and all that - Burton was AMAZING. But now that sort of generic darkness is so... passe. We had BTAS. We've had the Nolanverse. Comics are pitch-dark nowadays. And Burton in general just seems to make the same movie over and over again. It's all very played out.

As for Adam West... I don't see how anyone could hate THIS. It's just... too good. Too good.

Any word on the markers yet ?

[IAmBatman]

Yep, got 'em today. Were definitely 50 of each color. I think they look great. They're bigger than wound markers for sure - more like the same diameter as a penny and proportionally deeper. They're almost exactly the same shape as wound markers, though, other than the size difference, except they're a bit more rounded at the top and this creates a little bit more of a valley on the flip side.
They take up a little extra room on the cards, but they look good, and they're nicely stackable. They get my
Also, it's nice to know that they ship fast and I'll never need to buy a marker for Heroscape again!

Now if we can just get the art department to make an alternate large version of the marker stickers . . .

Not an issue if somebody can provide the insert size.

Solomon Grundy, Wolverine, and Doomsday just got a HUGE boost!!! Taelord in Superhero armies now?!

EDIT: Hmm, is it weird that when I saw Relentless bonding, the first thing I thought of was C3G?
