Nah, get Hugh Laurie, he was born for this.
If I thought they looked ridiculous, I wouldn't have posted them, and he's not wearing tights in either picture. The idea that a man would spend thousands of dollars to dress up in bat-themed tights is silly beyond belief, but the movies made it work. There's no reason it can't work for Riddler too.
I think they'd look good in a live-action movie, he'd still look like the Riddler, but with just enough changes in the design to pull off the dark and gritty feel they're going for.

Speaking of which:
YouTubers Corridor Crew fixes Scorpion King CGI

I often confused the main character with the guy who’s sister was an archer.
I never remembered anyone’s names, so I just gave them nicknames based in their roles or traits: main character, main girl, class president, cool tall guy, the bully, the nerd, fat guy, archer girl, etc.
Stephen Lang was almost perfectly cast as Sully, other then his height.
I never got on the Nathan Fillion train, I had fan-casted Bradley Cooper, but I’ll admit this fan-film convinced me to give Fillion a chance. With a Hollywood budget, this could’ve been pretty good.
The poor Otter kid has yet to realize that he’s not part of the fandom anymore. He’s on the outside, cast out, along with the other activists. As they try to defend a product that’ll be dead on arrival, the fandom points their fingers at them and laughs 😄
Most, if not all of the YouTube videos promoting the show have been ratio’d. The verdict is clear: the Tolkien fandom rejects Amazon’s Rings of Power.
<blockquote> there were Maoris in the LOTR movies! </blockquote>
Ok, and?
I’d say it was negative commentary on corporatism rather than capitalism. The latter isn’t a bad system on its own, and has helped nations thrive unlike socialism/communism/Marxism.
But organizations that have more power than they should have, and are abusing that power, is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Buff nerds are very attractive, and it’s cool that he also does parkour.
I wouldn’t have picked him for Nathan Drake outside of flashback sequences like in Uncharted 3 and 4, but otherwise the movie looks fun. I plan on watching it, and if it’s good, I’ll buy it on blu-ray.
Because it's unfathomable for POCs to be against color-washing, or lean anywhere other than Left. LOL
Riiiight, so I'm not a POC because I don't support black-washing? I didn't realize I was talking to Joe Biden 😄 Nor am I a Tolkien fan because I actually respect his works? That's quite some mental gymnastics right there. I bet you think I'm straight too.
It's ok to admit you lost this round, buddy. There's no shame in throwing in the towel.
There are people out there who support keeping history, mythology, and folklore for all races intact. That includes no race-washing, whether it's white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, etc. They don't want gender-swapping or LGBT-washing either.
My point still stands.
I didn't admit anything, buddy. Read what I said, what you quoted, again. Slooowwwwly.
<blockquote>I haven't read or seen any activists involved with RoP's production, only a cherrypicked quote from one of the producers who is not an SJW but a professional TV and Movie expert.</blockquote>
The people behind Rings of Power were clear: make an LOTR show that reflects modern times, which goes against how Tolkien went about creating it in the first place. The writers, directors, producers and actors all seem to be on board with that. Their recent cringe video with the so-called "super-fans", as well as the various puff-pieces about diversity in the show, are just more examples of activism over storytelling. They cherry-picked one instance where browner-skinned hobbits were mentioned and used that as their excuse to have black hobbits. By that logic, what's their excuse for having black elves and dwarves? Nothing in Tolkien's texts say anything about that, unless it was never about respecting his text, and instead about making stuff up to help push their agenda. Tolkien made it clear which races were fair-skinned (white) and which weren't. Christopher Tolkien was apparently the last family member with any integrity.
<blockquote>Oh there are plenty of self-hating POCs who publicly make degrading statements about their own culture in favor of white culture and even defend Bigots</blockquote>
None of those people hate their race, or defended bigots. Pointing out facts, stats, and history isn't self-hate, it shows they're educated and not a bunch of fragile POCs who need to be told how stunning and brave they are. The closest I can think of to match your claim are actresses like Thandie Newton and Zoe Saldana who apologized for not being black enough when the woke mob went after them, but that's still not the same as hating themselves. There are plenty of self-hating whites though, and plenty of racists who hate whites. Black YouTubers like JustSomeGuy and Young Rippa have also been very vocal against Rings of Power, as I already said.
Nobody said the Easterlings and Haradrim were a separate race. Fans have said multiple times that there are non-white characters in LOTR, but not in Gondor or Rohan, or among the elves and dwarves, and at best there were hobbits with browner skin tones than average, but no black hobbits.
The only people asking for muh representation are activists who only care about fictional characters that look and act exactly like them. They don’t actually care about the story or lore or even the characters themselves, only what they look and act like. They aren’t fans, they’re locusts.
There aren’t any self-hating POCs, but there are plenty of self-hating whites these days.
That’s not the same, kiddo. Cap and Bucky temporarily took refuge in Wakanda to escape the law, and left as soon as they were pardoned. I’m talking about if writers changed it so that there were white Wakandans from the start, altering the lore to reflect modern times.
My point still stands.
I’m a POC, and I don’t like the casting in Rings of Power. Some YouTubers that don’t like it are JustSomeGuy and Young Rippa.
You wouldn’t like it if white people lived in Wakanda in Black Panther, would you? Or if there were white people in Journey to the West? I imagine you wouldn’t. There are non-whites in LOTR, such as the Harad, Amazon could’ve had a storyline with them instead of pretending all of middle earth was a melting pot of races.
No, not because he’s a liberal, but because he’s a woke libtard. I have no problem with moderate liberals, but the far-left wokists don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt, especially since they always turn out to be guilty of what they accuse others of. The harder they preach about a cause, the more skeletons they turn out to have in their closets.
Indeed.
The few people that stuck around to watch this mediocre show have questionable tastes to say the least. I saw clips of Gotham's Jokers, I wasn't impressed at all. And Reddit is hardly a good website to use for boasting about someone's performance.
Normally I'd have given Spielberg the benefit of the doubt, since I don't think *everyone* in Hollywood is a pedo. But after he came out as a woke libtard, it's become more tempting to enable the rumors. After all, those who pander the hardest almost always turn out to be hiding something.
