I can't belive you didn't mention the lines at 25:55.
Dick: You're out of your mind! You're nuts!
Crazy Steve: [b]Nuts?[/b] You want to see [b]nuts[/b], kid?
I'll show you [b]nuts![/b]
That was so not okay.

Wonderful review as always. It's always fun to see a Batman review from you because he's my favorite...even if it is from bad comics. :unsure:

I could totally see Doug doing his Batman voice for this incarnation.
Douglas Walker as the Goddamn Batman (AKA: Crazy Steve)
Beary Bear as Dick Grayson, Age 12

11.11.2009 - 11:57 | pharmmajorGoggles could probably do a good Irish accent, so I think she'd make a fine Black Canary.

I'll be waiting so long for this. Go Linkara!
But seriously, I'll have to wait a little more. I haven't watched the video because it's still loading. So thumbs down for commenting without seeing the video, please.

These get loaded on blip.tv a bit before here. So people have seen. Don't be ignorant.

11.10.2009 - 00:56 | Transformers03Awesome, I'am one of the first comments.

Great review Linkara--gotta love the portrayal of women in comics.
Just think, it could have been worse. How you ask? We could have had to endure the pain of overused ellipses between every one of the narrator's fragmented thoughts.

Oh good lord... (ellipses) I can't imagine how horrible it would have been... (ellipses) if Miller had resorted to that.

Even that would be fine, just so long as Crazy Steve doesn't run into Bearded Idiot.
The horror.
The horror...

Crazy Steve: I'm the goddamn Batman!
Bearded Idiot: You may be the goddamn Batman, but I AM A MAN! **punch**

Aw. No angry Clark Kent crushing a milk carton with Dick Grayson's picture on it. I am disappointed.
This wasn't even the worst of it, either. They're really bad, sure, but it doesn't get horrible until Frank Miller writes Superman.

That is a fine pocket watch you have. Also I'm looking forward to more Miller Time.
-
11.10.2009 - 01:25 | LunarLycanIt makes me think that Frank Miller is trying to put Batman in a more Sin City styled Gotham. Of course this plays on you stating how it seems the Frank hasn't really left that type of writing. Now, personally, I like Sin City. But, it has no place in Batman.

Gotta love how even though Vicky Vale is beaten to a pulp, her makeup is [i]perfect[/i]. Also, I have no problem w/female heroines being a size 0 and wearing less-than-practical outfits, it's when, as you've said, that they're just drawn for eye-candy that it's becoming ridiculous.
I remember skimming through this at the bookstore and thought about buying it because of the art, and then I noticed the ass-shot. Nothing good can come from an ass-shot.
Good vid, keep 'em coming!

So, what are your thoughts on Powergirl? ;)
-
[quote=mumbls]So, what are your thoughts on Powergirl? ;) [/quote]
Hey, Power Girl at least has a personality to go with her 'Super Boobs'.
Virtually EVERY SINGLE ONE of Frank Miller's women are sexed-up whores.
I mean hell, just look at what he does to Black Canary, Catwoman and Wonder Woman when they come along.
And of course, the Vicki Vale strippathon doesn't stop at the first issue.
-
11.10.2009 - 01:31 | TamLinAlong with last year's Miller-directed "The Spirit", I hold up this comic as final, definitive proof that the man has totally and completely lost his fucking mind.
-
11.10.2009 - 01:36 | ArkireHaha,
Another great vid... Keep it up :lol:
-
11.10.2009 - 01:40 | MPSai
Cause women, when they're alone, ALWAYS hang out wearing jewelry and the most lacy, yeast-infection-inducing underwear they own. Right.
I never got what the big deal about Frank Miller was.
-
11.11.2009 - 12:19 | GenyosaiDude... That's genius.
-
Frank had no control over the Robocop movies. They are entirely different from his original screenplay. I highly recommend you read the comic adaptation of his Robocop 2 script. Great stuff!
-
11.10.2009 - 01:43 | Disposable_Hero
hahahaha a better internet meme was that little dance you did after proclaiming it.
-
Yeah, Frank Miller has probably lost it, basically when reading All Star Batman & Robin I had to convince myself that it was a Elseworlds tale and then I was able to enjoy it more, because as you stated repeatedly in your review, this IS NOT the real Batman!
Additionally I have to ask, you really didn't like the movie adaptations of "Sin City" or "300"? I really dig those two movies but I will agree "The Spirit" is...umm...something else....great review as always
:evil:
-
11.10.2009 - 01:57 | Linkara
As an adaptation and artistic film, Sin City is fantastic. As an actual story... bleh.
300 is patently stupid and unbearable without a rifftrax.
-
11.11.2009 - 16:06 | LuisDArcadiaWhy is 300 stupid?
It is kinda stupid in the way it uses the concept of 'freedom'. Movie goers nowadays do not have the same concept of freedom Spartans had on those days. I think that's the reason for some people to interpret the movie as an allegory of the war on terror and all...
But I think it captures perfectly the crude Spartan ideals of strenth and of giving one's life to the Polis.
Loved the way they used the legendary laconic phrases were transformed into action movie's one-liners...
(And the fighting scenes were great :P )
Is it only the movie adaptation you are talking about? Is it the way it was adapted?
(sorry about my english, it is not my native language)
-
11.10.2009 - 01:49 | ComicBookGamerI hated this series. Im glad you finally made a video for it. but, I fucking love Frnak Miller! He's the reason why I got into comics. Sin CIty is amazing and I love most of his other work with Batman and Daredevil. Thats why this comic dissapointed me so much, take my favorite super hero and one of my favorite wrtiters (and Jim Lee) and you get... shit. go figure.
-
11.10.2009 - 01:55 | soldierstar
300 - THIS-IS-AWESOME!!! Sorry, just a really good popcorn flick
SIN CITY - Equal parts awesome
The Spirit - Yeah...definitely something wrong their.
-
the price is right music is kinda lame, other that good video. i just remember Saturday night live people trying to be Michael :woohoo: K. saying I'm batman.i can just picture him saying i'm god damn batman.
-
11.10.2009 - 01:59 | ThatKidInTheWheelchairYou know what the sad thing about this is? I can honestly see how this could have been a good story. Even scarier, I can even picture Batman actually just kinda taking DRAT(Dick gRayson Age Twelve) without explaining anything about it. However, only someone as evil as Crazy Steve would flat out kidnap a twelve year old kid, force him to become his ward and sidekick(without even telling him he'd done so), and then swear at him more often than an "emo" kid trying to act tough around his friends.

I enjoyed All Star Batman and Robin. Sure it wasn't written well, but it had its funny moments. Other than that great review Linkara

11.10.2009 - 02:05 | snakestealth24
Nice Lewis, my god what has happened to Frank Miller I mean Jesus Christ man wtf were you thinking

11.10.2009 - 02:07 | LikaLaruku
ASBM: You'll come (& possibly leave) for the Frank Miller & Stay for the Stan Lee.
All Star Batman & Robin: To Boldly Go where No Logic has Gone Before.
Let's play a drinking game. Every time a character repeats anything they say,repeats anything they say, you have to take a shot (take a shot). Paramedics will be standing by.
Lol, this has more unintentional gay/pedo jokes than I remembered. If I hadn't read this before, I'd expect it to end in rape. Wait...Joker came off as really gay in DKR (yay!) & Gordon made an unintentional pedo joke in it too. Does Miller do this in everything he writes?
-
11.10.2009 - 03:10 | tiggerpetesorry, but it is Jim Lee (one of the founders of Image, and the founder of Wildstorm comics) not Stan Lee (Marvel creator extraordinaire) just had to point that out.
