Discussion Franchise / Batman

I'm guessing that someone requested a custom title for the film that came out in 1989 without realising that it affects all pages by the same title

I'm surprised it's not.

I've gone and done it.

If anyone is reading this it would be helpful to add any batman series that doesn't have an entry on the list

Its a harmless bit of fun, I say keep it in.

It's not so much the line is silly or anything, so much as given that it expressly mirrors the other two of the Three, not only does it break that rhythm, it comes across as myopic.

I don't see how that could be relevant to this page. This is about the batman franchise, not the WW or Superman one, and it is a harmless enough thing on the page. Come to that, it is a nice reference to the meme that is inherent within the Batman Franchise. It is informative as well as witty. I vote let it stay.

It's...not informative? It's referencing a meme, that doesn't make it informative. The entry for Memetic Mutation would make it information. And it's definitely not witty.

Plenty of pages share qualities. The reason this page opens this way is so it can match the WW and Superman ones.

I don't see the harm in it.

I see no problem with it, unless it's a meme.

As I said, it's a meme that's a quote from All Star Batman And Robin, which was notoriously bad, filled with Frank Miller's most infamous cliches.

I suppose I should have clarified that point to non-fans, part of my disdain for it comes from Batman fandom being very boisterous in their love and perceived superiority, generally encapsulated as a meme in that sentence.

It would also not bother me as much if the three pages (Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman) were not trying to have synchronicity. Why bother with that? I like the synch, but I wouldn't die on that hill. But as it stands, when I read all three, I perceived Batman's page as having made a point to set him aside as being more special, precisely because that's how fandom often chooses to use that meme.

But, barring outright questions posed at my reasoning, I'll choose not to die on this hill, I think.

Almost every major Batman work nowadays involves a deconstruction of some kind, although I'm not sure if there's one that tries to address everything—Notably, The Dark Knight Returns, The Killing Joke, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, Arkham City, and so on. Things commonly addressed are Batman's moral code, his tactics, the way he treats his followers, his attraction to dangerous women, the relationship he has with his villains (oftentimes the Joker), etc.

The thing about them though is that they almost always involve a Reconstruction afterwards. A reaffirmation of what he believes, something that proves he's making a difference, or a way for him to save the day even with all of the flaws in his game plan. The other problem is that Batman has so many interpretations that it's hard to tell what exactly should be deconstructed. Batman of the Silver Age? The Dark Age? DCAU Batman? They're all different.

So, um, to answer your question, no?

Do you mean the Cat Tales?

For that matter, isn't Batgirl Spoiled also a fan work? And the Joker Blogs?

The ice cream picture was from the miniseries "Batman: Jekyll & Hyde".

The CMOA page proudly boasts that Batman is the only character in history to make all nine D&D character alignments... has he ever really been chaotic evil? The man he's kicking for eating ice cream does coincidentally happen to be Two-Face.
