Artist's commentary
Dio Brando
When I was a kid, I used to see the comic books or mangas and wanted to draw like those artists. After growing up, now I see how harshly they are criticized as if most of them weren't very good (not just Liefeld). This one is based on a Jim Lee's cover for Batman, and while the guy has improved as an artist, his characters still look roughly the same and dear god, look at that torax, it could have it's own spinoff.
Either way, about Batman, any thoughts on what to expect fof Justice League? I didn't like BvS at all (not even extended cut) and that Batman was terrible, but to be fair, movie Batmen are all really bad, they are just a crazy rich guy dressed like a bat and punching homeless and other people in need of professional help.
He's supposed to be the greatest detective in the world, yet every movie he is mindblown by the dumbest plans his villains can come up with (where's rachel?!, where's the trigger?!, what's a Martha?!, why are there so may penguins???!), to the point that Val Kilmer's portrayal was the only one who did proper detective work and is ahead of the Riddler (how come his smartest foe is the only one who didn't outsmart him? and why am I praising Batman Forever?). I even expected Lego Batman to be better than live action Batman, but he was just as dumb.
Anyway, we'll always have the Animated Series and the Arkham games now (just give a movie to Paul Dini and Bruce Timm...). And hey, say what you want about 60s Batman, but those riddles were damn hard.
