Why Batman Is The Most Unrealistic Character In The DC Universe

With the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer out the debate has sparked again.  You know the one, who would win between Batman and Superman?  This question drives me crazy, why is it even an argument?  Its so obvious that someone with Super in their name should be, I dunno… maybe,  superior to a regular human.  But that’s not even the point of this article, the point of this article Is to prove why Batman is the most unrealistic character.

First off just the notion that Batman could beat Superman is like a little kid bragging about beating his dad at baseball.  Yea he won just because his dad didn’t want to murder him but whatever.  Superman is what every little boy pretends to be and Batman is who every little boy thinks he can grow up to be, the problem is that they are both the same amount of unrealistic.

I don’t mean this in a real scientific way either, I mean he is unrealistic because its not consistent.  Like the Superman example, why can Batman beat the most powerful being in the universe but the Joker is his arch nemesis.  He can beat a super powered alien but a crazy guy with a couple knives is just too much for him, give me a break.  Batmans most dangerous villains are just morning exercise for Superman but you want me to believe Batman is the best… please. 

His money is ridiculous.  There are rich people in the world but why would no one notice that Bruce Wayne is Batman,  just because he dates hot chicks and is in the tabloids.  Its kind of like iron man, if Tony Stark wasn’t so upfront about being Iron Man everyone would figure it out because who else would have the resources and the brains to be Iron Man.  If Batman being as smart as he is and the worlds greatest tactician, wouldn’t the people growing up with him have noticed even if it was just teachers?  They would be sitting around the teachers lounge of the boarding school chatting about Batman and someone would say you know who could have been Batman, he had the brains the money and the military resources, The Wayne kid.  It would just take a mention before it caught wind and the tabloids would be waiting at the gates of Wayne Manor then someone would be persistent enough to notice that Batman always escaped the same way in the same direction, or they would just see the airplane and where it landed.

He knows every Martial Art?  Nobody has this much time! The guy that came up with Batman… and trust me it wasn’t Bob Kane, must have been that little kid you could never shoot with your finger gun because he was always bullet proof or you missed or his mom was calling him or you weren’t watching when he became everything proof.  Either way you put it I hated that kid and it bothers me when a fictional character cant be beaten.  So Batman was supposed to be like 10 Bruce Lees, I don’t think so.  Even Bruce Lee said that unless a person has more than 2 arms or 2 legs its all the same style of fighting. 

Maybe I’m just being a child, maybe I just like Superman way more, or maybe its just too much of a stretch for me… Don’t even get me started on Robin!

Michael Bay Is Raping My Childhood Again

Just heard some news, Megan Fox is going to be playing the role of April O’neil in the Michael Bay abortion of your childhood called Ninja Turtles. That is right folks, Megan Fox, the slow motion queen of the Transformer movies. Can I be the first to say that if Michael Bay remakes an X-Men movie I call for REVOLUTION!!!

What the hell!! First you kill Jazz in Transformers, then you destroy the awesomeness that is Devastator in the second and the last movie was so lack luster it was amazing. Now your going to go after the Ninja Turtles. I challenge you Michael Bay, make a better movie than the original. With all its flaws the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was way better than any of the Transformers movies.

I think at this point Michael Bay should be brought up on charges for being a pedophile because he’s raping all of our childhoods. I don’t understand what is so hard about keeping to the original storyline. Is it because you didn’t come up with it? I’ve got news for you Mr. Bay, your imagination sucks! The transformation in Transformers was cool but that movie seems like it was made by somebody that hated all of the characters. Let me tell you something Mr. Bay, the Ninja Turtles were born in the time of the self published comic book, the originals were black and white but the characters were so great that they just struck a chord with the children and the child inside of us and you, Mr. Bay, smeared your mind feces all over all of my favorite childhood heroes. Now you want to taint this one.

To be fair I’m gonna watch this movie and more than likely really enjoy it because I’m not one of those people that are critical of every little thing in a movie. I even like movies that suck (that might be why I own the first 2 Transformers movies). As a fan I would just like a little respect, like with Batman or the first few Superman movies (not the last one, I tried to like it but not so much). Or hey maybe even the X-men movies, the third was good but not as great. There are a ton of movies that were treated with respect but if you want another example of a movie that can be destroyed by the lead female, Green Lantern. Jessica Alba almost destroyed Fantastic Four, whats her face from the Spider-Man movies….. Kristen Dunst (I had to look it up). Watchmen was almost perfect (I can do without the cock and balls next time), Rebecca Romijn was perfect as Mystique, Halle Berry was awesome as Storm.

I could go on and on but the point is that it can be done right…… SO DO IT RIGHT MICHAEL BAY!!!!!

Dark Knight Rises- A Quick Review

HOLY CRAP! If you havent seen the other two movies watch them before you see this one. There were so many skeptics coming into this movie and I was kinda one of them but I still really wanted to see this movie. How could it possibly compete with The Dark Knight, right? Wrong, its not a competition, there is no reason to compete with it because they are all apart of each other. The Joker is a way different kind of cool than Bane is in this movie, so there isn’t even a comparison, its Chinese stars and Batarangs.

With that being said, Watch This Movie! I don’t like to give away endings in my movie reviews but I will say that the villain in this movie is so freakin cool! The way the movie is set up, is a few years down the road and there has been no sighting of Batman for years, you remember because he’s the “bad guy.” So now commissioner Gordon is getting crushed under the lie, Bruce Wayne hasn’t shown his face in public either and now there are Howard Hughes type rumors going around about him. Because this is a movie and not a comic book Batman cant be young forever, this dudes body is breaking down and Bane has just taken over the city under the guise of giving Gotham back to the people.

The characters they brought out for this movie rock so much without getting cheesy. The Story about being born in prison is so cool along with them showing the Batwing. The Character of John Blake as a hot head cop turned detective with a similar past to Bruce Wayne makes for an interesting gear in this machine of awesomeness. Catwoman also shows her face and I am not even very partial to Anne Hathaway as an actress but her portrayal of Catwoman is great.

This movie is a rollercoaster of emotion, unlike Michael Bay, Christopher Nolan knows how to seduce an audience with a characters and story to make you feel like you’re apart of it.

So all I can say to Christopher Nolan is, “You have been given Superman…. I‘ll vote you for you for president if you get it right!”
