It's certainly a nice flick to watch for the fun of it.

I can deffo get behind that, Robin is crucial to Batman, plus they have great solo stories as well as the Teams.

Ah, I know that one, and Mr Freeze by Arnold Schwarzenegger is a treasure.

It was a funny argument for a couple of 11-year-olds trying to play a Lego game, for sure. It made me want to write a little novel or something called Robin: The Unappreciated Sidekick. XD

It was a treasure. A classic! And also the start of my watching a few Batman movies and asking my dad "how comes all the female villains come to be by being pushed by some jerk out a window or into toxic chemicals?" and he said "Um... You see... *brief conversation about portrayal of females*"

FUN FACT! The guy who plays the jerk male professor also played the villain's dad in Shazam! Just remembered

I can imagine, I remember having a similar convo with a friend of mine on another fandom, good old fun times. I think Robin is very well appreciated compared to the likes of Kid Flash or Speedy.

At least they are portrayed rather well in the newer comics/cartoons, but can't say I don't like the cliche comic villains of old.

I haven't watched Shazam just yet, I hope to watch it soon. I heard it's quite good.

That is definitely true hopefully YJ Wally and Roy or even Will are changing that XD

It was really good! I saw it on a band trip and I was in stitches the entire time. It had the best humor a DC movie could have, as well as great themes and plot. So I'd deffo recommend it.

The clone plot was a tad bit confusing tbh with you.

Oh, a band trip! Sounds cool. I'll deffo watch Shazzam sometime this week
AnimeGenork
AnimeGenork
Yeah that's the one thing YJ didn't do well in those first couple seasons

I mean that and the time skips with sudden additions of characters I didn't know the names of

Yes yes it's very good--especially when you see Shazam in the YJ cartoon and think "HAHAHA LOOK IT'S THAT GUY"

"We're not allowing children in the Justice League"
Shazam: *pulls on collar nervously*

To be fair on them, they probably had executives breathing down their neck to advance the plotline and add more characters/change them up to sell more toys.

And yeah, that's a good and old in-joke about Shazzam. Nice to hear that they added that in.

I wouldn't put it past those damn execs XD

Doesn't change the fact that I want to know why Barbara's in a wheelchair XD

It was
lovely

I mean I think I can answer that, The Killing Joke you know?

I know about that movie/comic, but haven't seen it yet... looks like I need to go watch that too XD
TheGrim
TheGrim
No, No, No. Don't watch it. Definitely, don't do that mistake. Read the comic
AnimeGenork

NOTED THEN

May I ask why?
TheGrim
TheGrim
You don't wanna see Bruce bonning Barbara.
AnimeGenork
AnimeGenork
Wait a sec I think I know what you're talking about

I might've seen a clip of that

Or maybe I'm thinking something different but anyway

Geezus


I mean nothing beats the video talking about the top cheating couples and bringing up the comic where Barbara got pregnant and miscarried and you see Bruce explaining this to Dick and Dick is like, "WTF MAN"
TheGrim
TheGrim
Ah yeah, the tie in comic to the Animated Series. That's deffo one of the worst versions of Batman and Dicks relationship. It gets even worse late on.
AnimeGenork

YES I LOVE FALLING APART RELATIONSHIPS

Yeah, no, I don't... but I do, however, enjoy people getting on Bruce's case any day not about sex but y'know
TheGrim

I like Batfamily drama too! Even if it's basically the usual these days.

👀
AnimeGenork
AnimeGenork
The best kind of family drama XD
TheGrim

I won't argue with that, because it is.

Anyways it's been fun, it's good to know there is a fellow fan of DC and Batman here on the site, I've been looking around for some DC stuff for a long time (Don't mind the new account) without any success. It's been so long since I had a chat about the DC Universe like this.
