Talk:Batman (franchise)

Placed some video info appropriately in the TV section, from the Movies section, and added some info about the animated series.

It seems like there really should be a DVD section here... maybe I'll start one in the sandbox, with the animated series DVDs, and people can fill in the rest? (Unsigned by User:Simnel 13:20, 9 December 2005

Removed this text:

Rorschach from Watchmen is somewhat similar to Batman in the fact that he is a masked vigilante that takes a violent, radical approach to justice and the law. He is based on the Question, a charater found in DC Comics. Like the Question, Rorscach is much more unstable and even deranged than Batman.

Obviously if Rorschach is based on the Question he doesn't belong here. I seem to remember Moore saying he was derived from Batman though.

Also, someone mentions Spawn, and gives a McFarlane quote. I don't see the similarity AT ALL. Does anyone have a reference for this? Simnel 19:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Rorshach article says he's derived from the question; good enough for me. Simnel 19:07, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also removing Spawn as a Batman derivative. If someone re-inserts it, please just give a reference. Simnel 09:34, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Um... another good question would be why in God's name Strongbad's No Loafing sign is a Batman reference?

I really don't know why Kevin Conroy wasn't mentioned so I added him. Some consider him to be the definitive voice of Batman. I wanted to include that sentiment and his name.
