it's just personal taste, lol. i don't get those cheesy 2 inch wide eye-mask covers, i don't get the spandex, i don't get the horrible eye for color design or the need to dress up that way in the first place. yeah it's symbolic, batman is afraid of bats and shit, faced his fear, fights crime dressed as a bat. i get why people dig it, but whenever that dude comes on screen i just want to leave the theater because he looks
ridiculous. the city's ridiculous, the cops are retarded, it's all just outrageous to me because it somehow takes itself seriously.
i havent read comic books but i'd be willing to bet that they come across a lot better in stylized panels than they are in all of this hollywood and videogame bullshit that's been going on. because all that one liner dialogue is the

ing worst when you use it outside of drawings, and all the costumes are complete cheese. it works for stuff like MvC, but for narrative driven games/movies i just don't understand how anyone can take it seriously. dude wears royal blue clashed with bright red boots and cape, has a giant 'S' on chest, and they're making a dark movie about his origins? wut
and these hero concepts are just products of kids' brainstorming during recess. like oh shit, what if he could shoot lasers
out his eyes! dayyyum, what about this? -- CLAWS GROW OUT OF HIS KNUCKLES!! Wait, backstory! We need backstory...well he's a geek of course, and gets picked on! yeah, but one day a mutant spider bites him and now he becomes strong and attractive, jizzes webs from his wrists, beats up bullies and gets the girl! "with great power comes great responsibility" wahh, deep development!
self-serving nerd fantasy bullshit, the kind that any kid could come up with in his sleep, but happened to be drawn by very talented artists.
this is all very ignorant and unfair of me to say, and i'll eat my balls for saying it, but that's just a prejudice i have. i don't get that shit at all. on my list of "things i need to accept and undertand," superheroes are down there with the My Little Pony tv show.
