No more realistic super heroes

I don't want a dark and twisted batman that watches Catwoman change through her window.

I want a bat credit card and ice puns.

The whole plot is that robin is scared of getting bracers. The joker taunts him with those fake chittering walking teeth.

I don't want bat credit card and ice puns either. It's good for a laugh, but only because of how bad it is.

Just make Batman serious without making him unnecessarily edgy. We don't need to psychoanalyze every little thing interesting about him until it's not interesting anymore, especially not in the first movie. Leave the viewers to fill in some blanks.

The Arkham games were a great example that you can have a serious batman and still have a silly but dangerous Joker. And all they did was ramp up the actually good cartoon series that is still better than the movies.
- Chris Nolan did it perfectly in The Dark Knight.
I'll do you one better, no more fucking super hero movies!
- Let's flip the script, how about fucking super hero movies. Let's get the boys on the big screen.
  
  Now I'm curious if there's any super hero porn parodies.
- Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
  
  Read my post history, its not all sunshine and rainbows, I'm afraid.
Robin needs braces
- Dental plan!
- oleep
I just want some Super Villains where they win in the movie.
- The Joker blew Robert De Niro's brains out live on TV. I don't know if it was a win but it was definitely his movie.
- We'll never get something on par with Infinity war again
- We have Rick and Morty where Rick always wins, I guess. I don't think there's many good winners in Watchmen. And you could always watch Avengers Infinity War and never go further
Batman Returns got the balance absolutely right between treating the situation seriously while also keeping some of the more campy and cartoon elements.
"No more realistic super heroes," he says! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

To ~~steal from~~ paraphrase George Carlin, "no more jumbo shrimp! No more hot-water heaters!"
I sympathize with this sentiment, but Batman is always used as an example and I don't understand why. The darker movies are much closer in style to the comics (I'm thinking Year One, Long Halloween, etc.). Is there something I'm missing or are people just frustrated because they have nostalgia for the campy 20th century film adaptations?
- I blame Alan more
Agreed, I'm so sick of grounded batman shit, its so fucking boring.
You want a live action Brave and the Bold.
