Talking Batman

I was just wondering, has anyone suddenly gone in Batman Fan-mode after playing Batman: Arkham Asylum?

To be totally honest i've only ever really acknowledged that Batman exists. I kinda preferred other superheros that had special powers. After playing Batman: Arkham Asylum, i've suddenly fell in love with Batman, Joker, and the rest of them! The game was so amazing and now I find myself searching videos and images of Batman! I've even been watching old Batman: Animated Series

I was wondering if anyone else has become like this? Or whether its rekindled your love for the superhero and the series?

No, I've been obsessed with Batman since before I can remember.

This.

I grew up with the Animated series, loving Batman Returns, and later in my middle school years getting into the comics. I have some pictures of me when I was turning 5 I believe and I was wearing a Batman suit to my party.

I got into Batman with the Tim Burton movies, I loved them (and Batman Forever) when I was a kid. I was a fan of Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face.
My god, it all looks so silly compared to the new Batman movies..

I don't think the Burton films are silly at all. They're true to the surreal, over-the-top nature of the comics. Though I prefer the recent Batman films, they're still pretentious with their spoon-feeding dialogue, too distant from the comic book roots.

That's why I prefer the original two, Forever and B&R were meh to me.

And that's why I find the new ones to be a bit over hyped. They were too distant from the comics to like. The reason I liked the Dark Knight was because of the Joker & Harvey. Their preformances made it interesting to watch. I sincerly hate how small Crane's role was in Begins. He had potential, but they focused it too much on Ra's Al Ghul.

Not that I'm a connoisseur or anything but to me it just looks like Tim Burton "remixed" Batman's universe to fit his unique vision. Which is fine, but I prefer the Frank Miller-esque style of the new movies.

Batman, no.

Joker, yes.

Way before 2008, may I add.

But still, I do love that rodent disguised guy

No. I've been a Batman fan for a good while now. And I didn't play Batman AA yet.
