Unpopular Batman opinions
You know the drill. This is the place where you can post any Batman-related opinions that make you be in minority. Here are some from me:
- Joker by Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger are overrated. I felt no attachment to them. Mark Hamill and Troy Baker are better.
- I loved Telltale's Batman Episode 4.
- I felt no attachment to Batman by Christian Bale and Michael Keaton. Kevin Conroy, Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker are better
- Telltale's Batman is SLIGHTY better than Batman Arkham Knight (Haven't played the previous games yet).
- Vicky Vale as antagonist is the smartest change Telltale has ever done.
- I didn't enjoy watching Batman (1989) and The Dark Knight.

Going off your first point, Mark Hamill is also extremely overrated. And it's not just the usual "he's a good voice actor, so he must be overrated" overrated. It's an actual, "his voice isn't all that great, what are you guys even talking about" overrated. Same goes for Kevin Conroy's Batman. It annoys the hell out of me when people start spamming these names under everything Batman related.
Well, they are one of the reasons Batman The Animated Series became the best superhero animated series.
I actually agree with the majority of those. Especially with regards to your points about the Children of Arkham and the conversation at Selina's apartment. I actually put that in my top five favorite scenes when discussing things with my brother.
That's all I got for now. I might post some more in the future.
Mr. Freeze is my favorite villain and he deserves more love and attention.
He's one of my personal top 5 favorites.
Arkham Origins is my favorite game in the Arkham series
I don't care for Harley Quinn
I don't like Dark Knight Rises. I think it's just another messy third film in a trilogy.
I think Arkham Origins is the worst of the 4 Arkham games, and Affleck's suit is my favorite so far in the movies
I actually think thats a popular opinion. Reception for DKR have declined over years of reflection.
That's anything but unpopular.
It's declining sure but it's still regarded as a masterpiece by the mainstream.
While I hated that he faked his death and how dare he just abandon Alfred like that, I am so glad that Bruce in the Dark Knight Trilogy stopped being Batman at some point and moved on with his life, maybe even getting therapy or something. Batman Beyond was a great show but I can't even with how depressing it is that Bruce ends up all alone for years until Terry comes by. At some point when he's no longer physically able to be Batman, I need him to be happy and have people. (I'm also mad that we know that Harley goes off and recovers and has grandkids she doesn't want involved with this nonsense but the last we hear of Harvey he's in a straight-jacket with three personalities going at it. We could have at least ended it with "Good ol' Bruce.")
Batman Beyond is probably my favourite show out of the DCAU, the show is wrapped up with a proper finale in JLU. The whole point of that show is about Batman's legacy and I love everything they did with it. I'm not trying to start anything I just think the purpose of the show was entirely fulfilled. A personal highlight is the episode with Mr. Freeze - it's incredibly emotional and it's one of the main reasons why Mr. Freeze is one of my favourite villains.
I prefer Batman and Robin over The Dark Knight. Okay, now that I've gotten your attention, that last statement isn't ture and here's my ACTUAL unpopular opinions:
-I liked Arkham Origins
-Damian Wayne is insufferable. (At least in Son of Batman and Justice League vs. Teen Titans. He was a little better in Batman vs. Robin.)
-Gotham Knight was meh.
Are they unpopular? If so then I guess the one about Damian Wayne and Gotham Knight are two more unpopular opinions of mine as well.
Well these are the unpopular opinions. Like I said, great show and I'm sure it did get its message across. I just would have rather the message been the Batfamily is happy and Bruce settles down once he can't be Batman anymore and is happy and isn't a recluse all by himself who has lost everything until some teenager wanders by.
I wish Joker never appeared in the Telltale game. I'd hate it less then.
I think the Dark Knight is considered as a masterpiece by the mainstream, not DKR. Maybe when it was released sure, but nowdays, its seen as the weakest in the trilogy and a mess of a film.
I never cared for Batman Beyond.
Batman is a wimp. I can't get rid of that feeling when I see him. Batman in comics is usually grim, dark badass but not this one. Almost everyone else now - Vicky, Oz, Alfred, Harvey are badasses. But Brucie is a pussie.
Colors are too bright. Gotham shouldn't be colorful place.
Gordon is JJ Jameson.
Love scene is overrated.
I just never liked Batman.
I still see the regular mainstream put it in high regard.
I never liked a bat disguised as a man. Oh wait....
Batman Forever is a good Batman movie, certainly better than Batman Returns.
The Dark Knight Returns never ranked highly on my scale for reasons even I am don't fully understand. I've tried to get into it umpteen times but it never clicked.
It could be hype backlash. I didn't see it when it first came out and everyone was so obsessed with it that I didn't wan to see it for ages and when I finally did I didn't really like it. I like it better now but now the hype has really died down.
I never liked the batman and catwoman paring. I always think it's overrated.
HOW DARE YOU!! :P
Batman & Robin is a good movie. I didn't connect the credit card joke as a product placement, nor I mind of knowing it was.
Arkham series is probably the best interpretation of Batman so far outside of the comic books, accompanied with the animated series (with insane IMDB rating to accompanying it.)
Telltale's Batman is western style visual novel. While it's a game, there isn't enough gameplay to call it a "game" in traditional sense.
Not killing Batman on a spot when you have a chance due reasons is lazy writing. Batman should stay alive by just being that skilled or if he fails, to have successor.
I know that the comic books don't like to kill characters that are very popular with decades of backstory but it's silly when the villains for whatever reason don't want to kill Batman yet and still refuse to take off the mask due some weak reasoning when some other character ends up suggesting it.
Mark Hamill is the voice of Joker.
I don't think that's an unpopular opinion.
In the Nolan movies, I kind of ship Harvey and Bruce's ballerina date for the restaurant. Maybe it was just that Rachel was uncomfortable because she knew what Bruce was doing and Bruce was just being obnoxious but their conversation about Batman was so charming and full of chemistry.
I like Ozzie and all he really needs is a hug (and one hell of an apology and land back)
I kinda like batman forever
Batman Begins is the best out of the nolan films
Ben Affleck was great as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Dark Knight Rises wasn't as bad as everyone says it is.
Runs for dear life
