gameon: As camp as the 1960's Batman?

Elmofongo: Heresy Batman started as dark character, hell in his first comics he killed a man: http://www.multiversodc.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/batroom1.jpg
Hell most of the "lol campy batman" comes from the Adam West series, and its spinoffs.

TwilightBard: You know what? I would go see a 1960s style Batman movie, and probably enjoy it. I wouldn't want to see it overdone (Please please please no half-movie Origin again), but every once in awhile I see it as doing something good and different.

gameon: Changing the tone of a series does change the dynamic of it, for better or worse. In the Batman case, the old 60's movie had some laugh out loud moments (shark repellant). Light hearted. I find the new ones to be overly serious, and not fantasy enough (like the comics are). But that's just me. With James Bond, they also changed the movies to be more serious and dark. But i preffered The Dalton bond all action style, or Roger Moores comedy bond.
No love for Connery's Bond?

Of course, he's an all rounder for me. I like his movies better than Craig, Lazenby and Brosnan.

I like them all more than the Daniel Craig ones so far. The films really bored me.

Well, yeah, you can change the tone in that regard, but, I'd like to see more of the cheesy Bat-themed gear. I want a real Batmobile, not the Tumbler (ok, ok, it was awesome in the first movie, and the pod was nice, but still, it's no Batmobile).

Although I do admit, Michael Caine was a truly awesome Alfred, I would love to see his Alfred paired off with a Bruce that wasn't so...hmmmm, trying to find the right word, but I guess Dark fits the bill. Someone who could crack a joke here and there and make it look like Bruce Wayne was more then just a mask.

I take it you hate brosnan the most since you have not mentioned him yet?

Speaking of which, i thought Val Kilmer was a decent Bruce Wayne. Whether or not he was a decent Batman isn't what i'm saying, i just think that he was a believable rich man.

Lol. I liked Goldeneye and Tomorrow never dies, but disliked the others.

Brosnan himself was good to start with, but got tedious the longer he went on in my opinion. Overall if he only made the first 2 movies, i'd rank him higher, but it's just my preferences.

Maybe we should have a Rank your bond thread?

Hmmmmmm....You know, you're right. I wouldn't rank him too high as Batman (He did alright, and there were worse), but I do agree he did a decent Bruce Wayne.

Although I have to catch up on my animated Batman's, I have The Batman series, haven't touched The Brave and the Bold, and I grew up with The Animated Series (Conroy does an amazing job as Bruce and Batman imo, even viewing it now)
I wonder has anyone made a brand new comicbook superhero yet, and not characters that were made in already existing backgrounds like a new charcater made in the batman universe?
Remember Darkman? It was a B-movie but pretty good for it's standard. I don't know if you can call it super hero though.

EDIT: just realized it wasn't B movie, but pretty obscure today.

You don't like a movie?

Don't watch it. Problem solved.
Here I'm thinking it was just me?!?

There are new characters and new stories being made and published both by marvel, DC, Dark Horse and Image, as well as independent publishers. And webcomics. What do you mean by "brand new" superhero?

Or do you mean a superhero movie not based on comics? Pusher and Chronicle, as well as the series Heroes seems to fit the bill.

Kick-Ass started as a Comic, like Wanted, both movies went in different directions.

Grant Morrison created a bunch of them, but last time I checked there haven't been many standalone solo books for brand spanking new characters since the 90's. Legacy characters? Yes. But I can't remember a new monthly title for a brand new character since... Aztek? Then again I stopped reading DC more or less after final crisis, and have never been much of a Marvel reader.

Invincible was a new character from Image (actually Robert Kirkman being PUBLISHED by Image), and that started in 2003. Good series too. Image's had some new characters as well, but the ones I remember are more like limited series, like Brit.

Or do you mean characters separate from any other continuity?

No thats was the answer I needed, and yes I knew the question I asked could mean anything since superheroes are obiviously not exclusive DC and Marvel.

Like what you said Heroes, Pusher Chronicle.

I got one myself from my younger days Danny Phantom :)

Definitely an awesome film though. Didn't really feel much like a superhero film to be honest, except for his hero monologue narration at the end and puts on his Ash mask so he can blow away the undead (just kidding about the last bit, although the last mask IS Bruce Campbell).

Liam Neeson kicking arse before he acquired his 'special set of skills'.
