HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasnt expecting Alien & Predator to turn up!!!!

THAT WAS FUCKEN AUSOME!!!!!!!

good post, but it has been around for quite awhile....

Fuck! that was awsome!!! it’s that the whole clip?

I dunno.. Maybe I’ve become too accustomed to the high standards of modern movies, but that seemed kinda weak to me.

Then again, I lost interest after the Predator showed up.

MF Doom, I think the simplicity of the movie is what makes it great…

Alot of movies today get overshadowed by the CGI and effects…

Another good example is how great Superman 1 was and how Superman Returns even with all the special effects still wasnt as good.

If I wanna watch a cotton-costumed Batman with a beer belly duking it out against a rubber Alien and/or Predator, I’ll go to a costume convention or something..

And the point of CGI and special effects is to make the unbelievable, believable. Take POTC - Dead Man’s Chest. The squidbeard looked pretty damn real and it only made the movie better. Yes, Superman 1 was awesome and ignoring that it was visually great at the time of it’s creation, you really can’t compare movies with that huge a leap between them. Superman 1 will always be a timeless classic, but it sure as Hell never sent a chill down my spine like the plane crashing scene from Superman Returns. And Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor was just <3.

Getting back to my original point tho’.. This looks like it was shot by a couple of kids with a video camera and some cheap costumes. Like my old imaginary Zen master always told me. “If you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all.” I can’t take it seriously at all. Even as a joke, it’s just too damn sad.

But oh well.

Well MF Doom it looks like we’re going to have to agree to disagree.

Im an avid comic collector with a number of Superman and Batman comics in my collection. The fact that the Batman in this video looks more believeable due to the fact that he can actually turn his dead left and right and the fact that he doesnt have a kevlar/plastic chest body suit adds to the comic realism. If they can do it in the comics they can do it on screen.

Thats all I will say on this though…

I wouldnt say it was awsome! But I got hooked watching it… Good post b6

Blimey Doom, if you think that is a beer belly you must be one hell of a toned mofo

I actually enjoyed it Not a massive comic book fan but can appreciate the work and effort that went into it for such a small budget.

Cheers,

I guess this is where the robot goes “Does not compute” and his head blows up.

How is this believable? How? When you watch it, are you actually thinking “Zomg that’s Batman!” I really don’t see how anybody could think anything other than “When’s the real Batman gonna swoop down, punch him in the face and tell him to get back to Arkham Asylum?” How this could be perceived as believable on any level is beyond my comprehension.

Also, what did the comic collector part have to do with anything?

god damn you guys stop getting at eachother so much and just enjoy the video for what it is and not for how you think it should be

Kinda hard to enjoy something you think is ridiculous. And I’m not saying it should be different, I’m just saying that what it is, is crap.

I think you got the wrong end of the stick here. How are any comic book believable? How can somone not look at Clark Kent and see that he is Superman with glasses and a different hairstyle? What I meant by believealbe, was believeable in comic book terms. The only reason I mention the comic collecting is to reiterate that I have read a number of comics. Comic book characters have evolved over the years as with the audiences but they artists have always tried to keep thing to a relative level of realism. Prime examples are that Superman gained more powers and abilities, while Batman lost the use of a firearm and got most of his gadgets for his utility belt. The characters also go alot bulkier but to a level or realism that audiences would believe. Hence if Batman can beat the Predator in a comic (beer gut and all) then why should he not be able to do it on screen?

But hey if you dont like the vid thats cool…

You’re confusing my points. I’m not talking REALISTIC. I’m talking believable. My points are that what’s believable in comics, isn’t in movies. Yes, Batman looks stunningly handsome in his cotton outfit in the comics, but for some reason he manages to magically dodge pretty much everything and most of Gotham appears to have a serious inner-ear problem. We don’t pay much attention to it since it’s a cartoon. According to his bio, he’s supposed to be nothing more than a very well trained billionaire. No super powers. In a cartoon, this translates in to poor aiming and a crapload of luck.

In reality that translates into body armor. Why? Because even a well trained billionaire can’t bloody dodge bullets in reality. Ergo, putting on a cute little cotton outfit and attempting to take on the various villains of the world, would most likely result in a very short career in the hero business.

When I watched some of the reg. Batman movies, I got the impression I was watching Batman. My mind goes “Zomg, Batman!” When I watch this, my mind goes “Lame actor, go away.” It doesn’t make me believe I’m watching Batman, it makes me believe I’m watching some retard in a bad costume.

And I’m still not talking about realistic in the sense that I want it to look like it could actually happen in real life, I’m talking BELIEVABLE.

And yes, I’m quite well aware of character growth and I have no bloody problem with him fighting Predator, I have a problem with him not looking believable. Again, I repeat, I don’t believe I’m watching Batman, but a retard in a bad bloody costume. How you’re missing this and continue to throw around random points with no connection to previous arguments is, yet again, beyond me.

Just to make sure my point gets across this time, I’ll riff a couple of examples.

Transformers: It’s done in a way that makes me believe that Transformers are actually real and walking among them.

This Bat-clip: .. Chubby actor in bad suit.

POTC: It’s done in a way that makes me believe I’m actually watching the Kraken take down a ship and that Davey Jones actually has a squidbeard.

This Bat-clip: .. Chubby actor in a bad suit.

Superman: It’s done in a way that makes me believe that there’s actually a kryptonian flying around and saving people and happens to be weak to kryptonite.

This Bat-clip: .. Chubby actor in a bad suit.

Le sigh, all this ranting could’ve been saved, if only people had the decency to actually -read- what the frack people are saying. Semantics are a bitch. Anyway, I’ve officially wasted too much time on this topic, so meh. If my point didn’t get across this time, then there’s no helping it.
