guns on the BatPod = by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 25th, 2008 10:56:05 AM
flames on Optimus or Nuking the Fridge or whatever dorky analogy you want to make.
I would enter the contest... by casinoskunk	Jun 25th, 2008 10:59:05 AM
But Zimmer is such a hack. I would love to see a contest where Zimmer signs a poster along with the seven other guys who get "additional music by" credits! Can we get one that just has James Newton Howard's signature?

Gatsbys West Egg Omlet/ bike guns by g-ride9000	Jun 25th, 2008 11:06:29 AM
what-thefuck-ever. What else, Tron shouldn't have a frisbee? Those blasters on the X-Wing? Dude he needs some guns on that bitch because #1 Driving fast in Gotham= fucking crazy and #2 he's a fucking superhero with no real powers.
ummm i meant posters by g-ride9000	Jun 25th, 2008 11:07:42 AM
this keyboard is all gummed up from jizz...eeeewwwww!!
g-ride9000, so you hate the comics? by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 25th, 2008 11:18:38 AM
cuz he kind of hates guns.
ummm GWEO comics are comic by g-ride9000	Jun 25th, 2008 11:30:29 AM
if he starts shooting people in the movie that's one thing. But stop being so fucking religious about Batman. Guns on a motorcycle look cool. It probable gets fired off at some other vehicle. Batman's similarity to the comics is arbitrary. Certain things work for me, and some don't. I'm sure you'll disagree, but my point is, this movie will rock, and to try and spoil it by getting upset at a design detail, well that's missing the overall picture. So far for me there are alot more dos than don'ts in this film.
i'm not saying the guns ruin it for me, by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 25th, 2008 11:41:13 AM
i just don't see how he could use them and still retain his whole "no killing" thing. i'll see it, and i imagine i'll like it, but the guns bug me.
I thought the trailers already ended this gun thing by spectrebeeyatch	Jun 25th, 2008 11:48:24 AM
I thought it was obvious the guns on the pod are meant to shoot walls and doors. Otherwise how would Batman get through those? If you run into them you die so... Blow them the fuck up.
to quote some hicks by g-ride9000	Jun 25th, 2008 11:48:41 AM
"guns don't kill people, people kill people" hey so I'm glad you said that though dude...that flames on optimus thing got really out of hand on the AICN TB. It was stupid, that movie was stupid and I just didn't like the logevity of that conversation. Bad comparison. You go enjoy that batman, and your literary references. Commander Gride= out.
Scorekeeper is a huge nerd.... by soladeo1	Jun 25th, 2008 11:50:52 AM
....but a huge nerd who sure knows his music scores!!! The One Who Walks
really? by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 25th, 2008 11:56:32 AM
why not just drive on roads and walk through doors? and what if someone is standing on the other side of said door/wall and Bats shoots and/or runs them over? but whatever. gotta sell the toys.
Guns, nipples, and flames...who cares? by Savage Lucy	Jun 25th, 2008 12:19:11 PM
My childhood's sphincter is already numb from the numerous rapings it has taken over the past few years, so I say why not put bigger guns on the thing along with Alfred delivering napalm strikes from the batwing. Hell have Jar Jar come in driving Optimus Prime being chased by a teenaged Rogue as a full fledged member of the Xmen for all I care. My point being, any purist fan is going to be pissed off to some level by any movie featuring a much loved part of their youth. And then the pissed off fan will chime in regarding the latest case of forcible sodomy committed on their childhood. Such is the circle of life on the internet.
Pay to enter a contest? by SkidMarkedUndies	Jun 25th, 2008 12:35:00 PM
WTF?!?

wow hypocrites by Happy Boy	Jun 25th, 2008 01:16:38 PM
you realize that Batman USED GUNS in some early comics? the character has changed over the years, the idea of Batman as a "non lethal" character is more a reaction to censorship in the 50s than anything else(marketing to preteen boys, every comics character had to become "non lethal" in order to stay viable in the face of new parents groups and a more conservative country). the CORE of Batman is a ripoff of ZORRO, THE SHADOW, SCARLET PIMPERNEL, and to a lesser degree Doc Savage... ie superior man who uses stealth, FEAR and SUPERIOR WILL to combat criminals. the core of the batman character is a classic "vengence on the wicked" theme. "never uses guns" is more of a gimmick or side characteristic of the character originally to make the stories more interesting (othewise every story would end with him picking off entire platoons of thugs from long range). I laugh my ass off at people who are okay with wide discretion with the character (such as making him a ninja) but certain things like apparent accouterments to the batcycle is like SOOOOOO outrageous. get a brain people

wow comic scholar by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 25th, 2008 02:20:58 PM
sure wish i knew as much as you do about comics from the 1950s.
Just show the damn movie! by tvspace	Jun 25th, 2008 02:45:16 PM
... that is all.
JNH? Cool. Zimmer? Lame by minderbinder	Jun 25th, 2008 03:28:53 PM
I have to agree, it would be cooler to have one with just James Newton Howard, or even one with no autographs than one with Zimmer. That's one thing I didn't like about the first one, the music was bland and boring. They need to get someone with real talent, not that hack. And DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD, that IS a spoiler...so why are you posting it??
DGDB is always posting on Batman threads though he "hates" it. by Teh Suk	Jun 25th, 2008 03:33:39 PM

lookin like a BAT OUT OF HELL! by captainCAPSLOCK	Jun 25th, 2008 04:28:42 PM
Meatloaf theme song, anyone? already got the cover...
WHAT by ragingdrunklove	Jun 25th, 2008 04:59:49 PM
no way am i going to pay to enter a contest.
Donate to charity instead. by happybunni	Jun 25th, 2008 06:40:18 PM
And you get a tax rebate. Although they did have a super good idea buying four $5 posters, sponsoring a "contest", which really just seems like an advertisement for them to get donations. If they get $20 in donations they break even!
I'd rather have a signed copy of the score by Puddleglum	Jun 25th, 2008 06:56:51 PM
a fuckin poster signed by the guys who scored it? Fuck's that about? Can I have the photoshopper who made the posters sign my CD later, too?
Batman has killed on screen by Campion	Jun 26th, 2008 02:03:31 AM
In '89 he flipped a guy from the bell tower to the bottom of the church. Well, he didn't kill on purpose, but it's still there. He uses explosives in that film too when he destroys the chemical plant. I'm sure there were some people in there. Generally Batman won't kill anyone in cold blood though. The only superhero in a movie I've seen kill someone deliberately (not counting Punisher, cause thats his thing), is Daredevil. Right in the beginning of that film he threw someone in front of a subway train.
Batman kills by DennisMM	Jun 26th, 2008 11:35:38 AM
After 1941 he wouldn't deliberately kill a human being. Some sentient supernatural creatures died at his hands, but killing wasn't his thing. However, he wasn't as opposed to killing as Superman; Batman would try to prevent the death even of a villain, but if it happened, it happened. Lotsa death, little premeditation. Quaint, isn't it?
Batman DOES kill by casinoskunk	Jun 26th, 2008 01:09:19 PM
in Batman Returns he straps some dynamite to a dude and tosses him in the sewer!
