You know, I have to wonder, had the old show been done serious instead of campy, if West would be doing that sort of thing now. Has he ever discussed having read the comcs? I suspect his only example of the character was the one he portrayed, so Batman is probably firmly entrenched in his mind as being "silly". (As it was for many people until Burton's Batman.)
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
To be fair, 60s era Batman comics were as silly as the show...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have to confess an unhealthy love for the '60s TV show. And especially the '60s movie.
But then, I like high camp.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I like shark repellent.

Yup. (Why introduce her now, I have no clue.)
I'm worried that it's going to fall prey to "Too Many Villians" syndrome. Do we really need Venom, Sandman and the Green Goblin II in one movie? Especially when Peter has to get the symbiote, realize it's evil, get rid of it and then have it attach itself to Eddie Brock and become Venom in the same film that you've got these other two baddies running around.
Unless this thing is going to be 3 hours long, I don't know how they're going to pull it off without it being a chaotic mess.

I stand beside you in unhealthy love.
