      That whole scene is goated and just gets Batman like no other live action adaptation does. Batman & Robin is atrocious, but that scene is great. Sadly, it's buried beneath all of the awful, or quoting Clooney's Batman "buried, deep... beneath the snow".

    God, I want a good live action adaptation of Robin so bad. I’d love it if a sequel to The Batman involved Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne having to deal with the fact that he’s suddenly responsible for a 10-year-old. I think if they wrote and cast Robin well, with a good mix of Dick Grayson’s excitement and enthusiasm as well as his more serious/angry moments grieving for the loss of his parents, it could actually be a really good contrast to Pattinson’s Batman and really cool to see. Of course the important part would be getting everything right so that the character doesn’t come off as annoying to the adult audience lol

    Definitely agree about the Titans characters as there was no reason for Beast Boy's actor to not be painted green and only turn into a tiger. Still not as bad as the black goo girl pretending to be Raven and how Starfire along with her sister are so far from their original characters that they're better off being original characters. Which is interesting, since they easily could've been twin alien princesses with pyro powers, something that would fit far better than the Tameranians being walking flamethrowers out of nowhere.

    For Starfire, i think she is much closer to her new tt characterization in the 1980s
    Her powers were orange, red or magneta during her original appearance but the tt cartoon changed it to green so they adapted that into other cartoons and comics too

Instead he was so obsessed with trying to keep up with Jim Carrey, he just played him as a hammy, weird discount Joker. He didn't even really care about the movie to begin with and only did it for his son because two face was his favourite Batman character.

    Besides would Robin really be that out of place in this universe? Just give them a costume similar to Tim drake in Arkham city and I’m sure it would work just fine.
    Either way, if they wanted to connect him to Robin but still not give him the costume, they could’ve just named him Dick Grayson or something like that.

    I will say with Starfire that her personality is pretty true to her early appearances. Starfire was a very aggressive and violent warrior when she's first introduced. Titans has a lot of writing issues but I dont think Starfire's personality is one of them.
    Her starbolts also largely appear pink red and/or orange in comics. The green bolts really only came post Teen Titans cartoon. The appearance of her powers really come down to personal tastes. For me, she looked much cooler when her powers matched the flame effect of her hair.
    I will agree that Titans' version is unrecognizable appearance-wise as Starfire but she's not really a bad adaptation of her source material.

    The starbolts Starfire fires in the comics were yellow she uses full power deadly force and light red which has been interpretated by modern artist has purple or pink that was due to the comics being old look and light red lossing tint looking then pink when she uses non lethal blast but in the recolor you see it's light red omnibus.The green starbolts were introduced in the 2003 animated also the 9 stomachs she has one in comics,mustard addiction and weird speech was animated series exclusive quirks to makes her seem more alien since in the special features they claimed kids were to dumb to figure out she was an alien or who was bad or good and put doctor light robbing a bank soo children knew who the bad guys were after seeing all the insults the animated series creators threw in the season 1 dvd bonus features I can't stand the animated series who dare they belittle and insult the people that buy their products they should be glad they have fans that love their products and that allow them to continue working on the industry.The blue white starbolts were her older sister they just switch they gave the yellow red that look like fire but instantly pulverize so way hotter than fire like the comics to Blackfire they also switched that now Blackfire is the younger and Starfire is the older.I really dislike how the animated series has confused fans about the character her powers aren't also determined by her emotions she had severe depression in the comics due to having Tamaran destroyed rejected by Dick and she still was full powered in R.E.B.E.L.S 2010 also to see her starbolt act like a sun see Titans east special here's a link she weakens Bizarro with a yellow starbolts by realizing what gives strength to Superman must weaken Bizarro so she can also super charge Superman in a fight if she needs to do it readcomiconline.li/Comic/Titans-East-Special/Full?id=117530
    The real reason the live action is a bad adaptation is she isn't a slave nor her superhero outfit was her slave suit she endured six years has a slave being sold and bought by sister at the end of each years so she had 7 masters during that time 6 random aliens plus her sister she then was captured by Psions tortured into an experiment how much can a Tamaranean absorb solar energy before she explodes she kept absorbing Vega sun energy until the machine exploded then she unlocked the starbolts becoming a living solar battery her own words the character in the comics has truly one of the best origin but she hasn't been adapted faithfully animated or live action although I appreciate no green starbolts stop giving the animated series more importance than the comics here's a linkreadcomiconline.li/Comic/Tales-of-the-New-Teen-Titans/Issue-4?id=44753
    to her comic origins it's my favorite origin although it would have been better if the story was in real time instead of her telling it to the Titans years after the events had happened.It has been my life dream to see this version adapted an expanded on live action,pg13 or R animated movie has a dude I found her strong will to never break and keep being herself no matter how incredibly hard her life was being born into a 100 year war being sold a slave being trick by parents to returning to Tamaran only to force her to marry someone she didn't love being assaulted by Raven during her later wedding with Dick captured and experimented by Wildebeest society force to endure the tortures she received has a child by Roy Harper in Outsiders complete betrayal she shouldn't have told her origin to her friends since they used that against her a life like that would have a lesser person perpetually depressed or suicidal but she endures with a big smile and redefine her outfit from something dark into a positive that's who she was before new 52 in 2011 came and changed her origin and outfit that were perfect and a reason why they hadn't changed her since she was created in 1980.

In the movie…she’s just upset that she doesn’t get the credit she believes she deserves, which isn’t nearly as interesting or investing.

    Very hot take: Heath Ledger’s Joker should be on this list. I agree with everyone that he’s an amazing character and the dark knight is one of the best cbms ever, but if we’re talking as an adaptation, he fails. Joker doesn’t have a true origin story, but the most common one is that his skin is bleached that way, while in Heath Ledger’s version, it’s obviously makeup. He also doesn’t utilize any of Joker’s known arsenal outside of playing cards. There’s no poison shooting flowers, Joker fish, any stuff like that. The closest adaption we’ve probably had is Jack Nicholson. But Ledger is still amazing, just not accurate.

    I remember being in middle school and seeing a vhs tape of Batman and Robin in my parent's room. I asked my stepdad if I could watch it and he told me no, it was made for adults so it would probably be much too scary for someone my age. I thought it was weird, as I was allowed to watch horror movies, but now I know it's because it was just a bad movie

      _"Let's just say the reaper can swing his sickle at me, but I'm beyond Death's stroke now"_
      His fight against Hawkman was badass, his metallic eye-patch seemingly fused to his face was badass...
      Sure, when *Arrow* season 1 pulled out a (simili)Deathstroke vs (simili) Green Arrow in its 3rd episode, fans went nuts because HOLY SHIT HE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE DEATHSTROKE
      (then, shit happened, but that initial fight was so good that it hooked a lot of people who were still a bit "eh" about the new GA show)
      Now that we have a bunch of different Slades, peaking with *Titans* ' Esai Morales, it's easier to look back at the one from Smallville

    The Blockbuster on The Flash was Marcus Desmond. Marcus Desmond was the first Blockbuster and was the brother of Roland Desmond. Marcus never fought Nightwing, and was more of a dumb, brute character who was ordered around by his brother. Roland eventually took the syrum and became the second Blockbuster. He was able to retain his intelligence and became Nightwing's arch enemy. So you can't criticise The Flash's Blockbuster for not being like Roland Desmond Blockbuster, when it's not based on that version of Blockbuster.

    In regards to Beast Boy, while I agree he did need a bigger budget for his powers I don’t mind that he isn’t green since his personality is pretty much how I expect the character to be like and he’s the most enjoyable character on the show. With Starfire, while I haven’t found the time to read the New Teen Titans comics that introduced her, I know the comic version was nothing like the cartoon version which I grew up watching. Based on your comments I’m guessing that’s also your frame of reference for the character, so saying an adaption was bad just because it wasn’t like another adaption doesn’t make much sense.

    Starfire and Beast Boy was a bad take, they’re just developing. Starfire was based off the original comics at first( shooting actual fire out her hands). But then she discovered her true power learning how to shoot plasma beams, the only reason why it’s Blue is because she hasn’t reached her full potential yet. The show producers already said that her powers will involve to different colors like yellow, orange, and red, then green. She’s just developing. Same for Beast Boy, in the comics he just started out with one animal, until he started learning he can transform into others slowly( he actually had to study that animal in order to turn into it), so they’re just developing.
