Why is campy Batman so much more appealing than campy Superman, and why isn't there a lot more of it?

I don't think you know what camp means
Casting has been a blessing. Adam West and Diedrich Bader are so good that they are going to make even the mediocre episodes fun
Superman is inherently fantastical, he doesn't need the added silliness/lack of grounding that camp brings.
Batman is (in theory) slightly more constrained by his premise, so leaning into camp can bear more fruit.
Also
Because writers have been trying too hard to.show Superman to be a super serious and relatable character. There is no room for camp in their stories. Also, Superman gets written by some of the worst writers. Latest Superman writers include Johns, Bendis, Tomasi, Jurgens, JMS, Lobdell, Tony Daniels. Neither of them can write for shit.
Of course I do
It's a makeshift structure designed for temporary habitation
Which one is your favourite episode Yea Forums?
I loved "Hail the Tornado Tyrant!" it was pretty sad seeing Red Tornado slowly losing his son.
I guess robots and emotions rarely mix well together.
Any suggestions on good Superman stories/writers?
Has to be between “The Last Patrol!” And “World’s Finest”
I agree about the Red Tornado eps.
I really liked
>Deep Cover for Batman & Game Over for Owl Man
>Chill of the Night
>The Last Patrol
>The Knights of Tomorrow
>Batmite presents Batman's strangest cases
>The Malicious Mr. Mind
>Super-Batman of Planet X
and finally
>Battle of the Superheroes
I'm rewatching the show atm on the DCU streaming service. So many gems.
An All-Star Superman type of show could be a lot of fun. Hell, that Superfamily show that got passed on too.
>DCU streaming service
Is it already out in other countries?
Fuck me if they want it to succeed they should go international. Hell, let me pay for it already.
I don't think so? I don't understand why it hasn't though. I think they put Titans on Netflix for international audiences but nothing else I don't think. They're pretty much begging for their shit to get pirated that way. It's a really cozy service too, nice comics feature and a nice library. Hope it gets to you soon.
Maybe they are afraid it wouldn't sell well?
I honestly want Warner Bros to just scrap DCU and mix it with their new streaming service (If they have one).
They already have a pretty big library but now it comes with DC shit.
>It's a really cozy service too, nice comics feature and a nice library.
Is there 52?
With me I like the price and I don't want that to change much or have to buy it as an add-on.
>Is there 52?
It doesn't look like it. I know they're supposedly adding some 10,000 comics this week so who knows.
>10,000 comics this week
Whew, wow! Isn't that gonna lag up the app?
They should have probably done that before launching the service.
It's not out in Canada but Doom Patrol and Young Justice are airing on TV.
Seems like they had about that to begin with and they've doubled it now. I haven't noticed a difference if that's anything to go by. I've only really had it for about 2-3 months.
Any issues with the app though?
It can't all be perfect.
As a huge musicalfag, I enjoyed the fuck outta this episode, but that episode where Batman gets to confront Joe Chill was pure kino.
I used to think that the Music Meister was a big shot villain in the comics because he was the main baddie in the special.
Boy was I disappointed.
Same. It amazed me that such a kino villain was just made up for this series. youtube.com
This guy is cool as shit, but it would be hard adapting a singer into comics I assume, and I doubt he'd be making any starring appearances in anything else.
>Why is campy Batman so much more appealing than campy Superman
Because it almost never happens? The comics always get "serious" and the cartoons barely use Superman. Batman gets all kind of movies, cartoons and comics. Superman gets nothing.
Wasn't there also a version of Music Meister in The Arrow or something like that?
The biggest issue with that is that you don't really know how their voices, its all lyrics with no notes.

What does the song sound like?
Fun fact: Yea Forums had a real chip on its shoulder regarding Brave and the Bold before this episode aired, with a lot of the board trashing it without even seeing it. When it did air, the show fucking exploded in popularity here, and it became one of Yea Forums's favorite airing cartoons overnight.
True. Most people get much outta just words.
I remember there being quite a few Meister threads that had popped up at the time. It felt good because I loved Brave and the Bold and felt bad that people weren't giving it a chance.
>It felt good because I loved Brave and the Bold and felt bad that people weren't giving it a chance.
Same, I knew people would like it if they just gave it an honest shot, that was a really cool week or two where Yea Forums was getting into the show and discussing all of the episodes. Kind of reminds me of when Yea Forums rediscovered Hey Arnold a bit later and it suddenly blew up too, except with a cartoon that was still airing.
My local comic group told me it was shit at the time (Big Nolan fans).
Now they can't stop praising it after TTG nuked cape TV for a while.
Hahaha!
>Alan Moore's Supreme
>Mark Millar's Superman Adventures and Superman for Animals
>Morrison's ASS and Action Comics.
>Busiek's Secret Identity
>Loeb's For all seasons
>Silver age Superman
Hmmm. Why would that be? Maybe because Superfags are too autistic about the portrayal of their character that he has completely stagnated and flanderised into a WWE baby face.
This show had the best version of Aquaman.
>OUTRAGEOUS!
Yep, definitely the most Based Aquaman.
Fuck off Snyderfag. Those movies were shit.
He's my definitive Aquaman.
>I can't refute the points, so I'll bring in something unrelated.
You didn't have a point, Snyderfag
>But....but Snyder
Why do Superfags have to prove their autism everytime?
Yea Forums doesn't watch cartoon or reads comics. It's super irritating liking something and the only people who pipe in shit on it without having watched it and have formed opinions from other people's opinions. Just check the El Tigre thread to see what I mean. Parroting wrong opinions that others spew out is a big problem here. BATB made me realize its first episode that Batman can be fun without destroying the character or being edgy. I'm waiting to see if Beware the Batman gets a similar treatment down the line (still looking for a mega if meganon is lurking)
I need help finding a Batman comic.
Its the one where Batman is crying, in a dumpster, after he found guns in it.
Please, can anyone point me in the right direction or post it? It was frequently posted on Yea Forums.
It's not perfect, no. I'd probably change up a few things if I could but it's hard not to feel a bit satisfied because shit it's actually a thing and I don't know if I ever thought it would be. I haven't had major issues of my own though. Maybe others have.
It's a subversion. Batman is always the straight man/grounded/whiney emo fag in the corner, so seeing him loosen up a bit and experience something wacky is quite jarring, and dare I say, refreshing.
People look me weird when I say I love Superman. Nobody cares about him anymore.
Same. I've read way more Batman and prefer him mostly, but I've started making my work PC's background Supes just to spite people who fell for the too powerful to be interesting meme/whatever excuse they use
Fuck them then. They probably only care about movies anyway. You know he has great stories and great attributes as a character.
