Your opinions on the genre aside, the history of Batman is readily available online. From his very conception, it'd be hard to conceive of a More grim character. His parents are murdered in front of him as a child, and he makes a vow to spend the rest of his life avenging them by becoming the scariest, most accomplished human being on the planet.
His first stories feature werewolves, vampires, killer clowns, and assorted other grotesqueries. He carried a gun initially; he KILLED people in his early stories. It's only MUCH later that the camp crept in; mostly as a result of the famous TV show. It's worth noting that this period (late 50's - early 60's) was followed by a series of (often SEVERE) thematic changes. The work of Neal Adams, Jim Aparo, Marshall Rogers, etc, etc. . .ALL of it is as far from "camp" as it gets.
Bottom line: you seem to have a very narrow view of the character in particular, and comics in general. It's flawed, and again, not to put too fine a point on it: Wrong. Sorry, but these are simple facts.
Not a fan of the Nolan movies, but your contention that Batman was "always campy" is flatly Wrong. He started out as an intensely grim character, then went through many, Many iterations. . .not surprising, for a decades-long series of stories by a WIDE range of creators. When Miller got ahold of him, he wasn't "campy," but TDKR was so radically dark it made the stories at the time seem less so. Shrug. People tend to forget it was an Elseworlds, anyway. . .but that's a whole nother story.
Sorry, I don't speak idiot. Tried a few times; I've concluded I can't help you. Shrug. Best of luck to you!
YOU:
Have no idea what my political leanings/musical tastes are
Are clueless about Very Basic Life Facts
Have a particularly skewed idea of what "sanity" means
It's fascinating to watch you attempt to process information, and engage in rational conversation. Hm. I would say keep trying, but who are we kidding: you're hopelessly stupid. Really: You can go now.
Again, too much verbiage. A simple "I'm a special kind of stupid" would suffice. Quit while you're behind.
She's the biggest pop star on the planet, and a billionaire. But you think she's on the "out list." Cool. Although, you could've just said "I'm bad at thinking," and left it at that (shrug).
I'm surprised how encouraged I am by this trailer. As many things there are to be wary of, there are an equal amount to be encouraged by. "Wait and see" is my current attitude. Fingers crossed. . .
LMAO
So is this another idiot desperate to complain about how poorly white people in America are treated by evil Hollywood?
Regardless of all facts, evidence, logic and such? No matter what?
Check.
Looks good. I was initially convinced it would be a Banger for the soundtrack alone; now I'm genuinely interested in the movie as a whole. Cautiously optimistic. . .
