![]() ![]() For the rest of the movie he's just pure evil. The only time I feel sorry for him is when his parents throw him in the water. But there's nothing likeable about the Penguin at all. Are we really supposed to feel sorry for the Penguin? Don't get me wrong, I'm a pretty forgiving person and all that, everyone needs a second or third chance and all that stuff (hell, I've done a lot of stupid and illegal stuff myself when I was a teenager, stuff I'll regret till the day I croak). The problem for me is how the Penguin is portrayed, and what Tim Burton is trying to say. I'm not a big fan of "realistic" comic book movies. I like weird and nonsensical stuff like that in movies. My problem isn't that the Penguin is deformed, or that Catwoman becomes a karate champion after being pushed out of a window. I get chills everytime I hear the music during the opening credits. I still love some parts of it.Michael Keaton is always a pleasure to watch, the visuals are amazing (the shot with Bruce Wayne in the chair and the batsignal is probably one of the best things I've ever seen in a movie) and the music is fantastic. Why do you think Nolan was so vehemently against JL Mortal having a totally different Batman while he’s doing his thing? It dilutes the characters and frankly is disrespectful to the actors already doing a good job embodying the roles.I won't use the word "crap", it's hard enough for me to admit that the movie is flawed! after all, it used to be my favorite Batman film. “So, Gal, what do you think of Alexander taking your role?” Its disrespectful to the actors. Having a separate big budget high profile film with Jaime Alexander as Wonder Woman and Ryan Gosling as Aquaman is only begging for comparison, competition and awkward AF interviews for said actors. “So, Gal, what do you think of Alexander taking your role and how does your portrayal differ from hers?” Why do you think Nolan was so vehemently against JL Mortal having a totally different Batman while he was doing his thing? It dilutes the characters and frankly is disrespectful to the actors already doing a good job embodying the roles. Robert Downey Jr is Ironman, Chris Evans is Captain America, Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman and Jason Mamoa is Aquaman. Hollywood immortalizes actors in the roles that they play until they're completely done. Its one thing to have a movie version and a tv version of the same character (Flash, Superman) its another when your trying to have two actors/actresses in big budget hollywood movies playing and competing in the same role. Of course someone can say, "You're a dude, you aren't the target audience," to which I would reply, "Why not? Why can't I be a part of the target audience?" Are they actively trying to push people like me away? And why would they think that's smart?Įxcept theres no way that would happen without serious blowback. That was just her character and I was along for the journey.īut no, Batman's costume won't be perfect until it fits a woman (though it weirdly looked like the costume already had breasts on it) and she won't let a man take credit for a woman's work despite the fact that she is using Bruce's batcave, bat gadgets, etc, etc, etc. I was just re-watching Edge of Tomorrow the other day and Emily Blunt's character is awesome and badass, but at no point did I ever feel like I was forced to be impressed with how badass she was. This seems to be where Hollywood is getting it wrong. I'm not looking to watch Batwoman because she is a FEMALE character but rather because she is an interested female CHARACTER. Aside from being a weirdly edited trailer (which I put on the trailer team, not the showrunners), having 2 "I'm a badass female" moments in its first trailer is not a good sign. So I was hoping Batwoman, with a difference creative team, wouldn't fall into that trap. I understand that stories have messages, but that message should serve the story and characters, not the other way around. I was keen to watch Batwoman as long as it didn't take the same approach as Supergirl, which is to hit me over the head with female power or gun control or whatever social issue they want to throw in our faces. If you are trying to come off as "agenda," you are going to put off a lot of your potential audience. ![]() These shows and movies have to be careful how they present their property. ![]()
