I saw this article on Fansided’s Bam Smack Pow site discussing this new game, Batman: Arkham Shadow. Right now all they have is a teaser for a new game in the Batman Arkham series…that will be exclusive to one VR system, Facebook’s Meta Quest. I’m not that familiar with VR gaming and right now we don’t have a plot, though it will have to take place before Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League since that is also set in Arkham continuity…and Batman is dead, acting as Brainiac’s #1 flunky thanks to mind control, and killed by Harley Quinn after some speech about how he had her peeps scared. You know, the ones who rob banks, blow up buildings, and line the streets with their dead at every opportunity. I think we can dispense with the violin. They probably stole that, too.
Remember when Superman was DC’s flagship character but as the 1990s started the more cynical grimdark trends popularity shifted to Batman? He didn’t have superpowers unless you count being a super rich supergenius who designed and built all his own gadgets, learned more languages and odd bits of trivia than Ken Jennings, and was trained in more martial arts styles than there are varied MMA fighters. Then he was just a normal man who could defeat God with his greatest skill: prep time. Yeah, tell me Bruce Wayne isn’t overpowered and I’ll tell you how wrong you are. He can’t juggle a planet, but I bet he has a battlesuit that will help him already being constructed.
Nowadays the treatment of Batman by creators and by DC itself is…strange. You’d think you would want to keep your number one guy (yes, that was on purpose Burton fans) at the top of his game. DC these days seem to be trying to ditch him. I expect the usual suspects to hate him because he has money and refuses to believe anyone can be a good person especially with money. Why does DC hate him enough to not only damage him in their own comics but let adapters screw him up as well?

Before anyone starts: no, I cannot judge the quality of the movie based on a teaser image. I am not going to do so. I am judging the teaser image itself and whether or not it succeeds at its job–getting me interested in the movie and giving me some hope that James Gunn understands what he’s doing when it comes to Superman.
However, the recent reveal of the Superman costume, with a teaser image of David Corensweat in presumably the final outfit, is just the trappings. You can get the outfit right and still get the character wrong. That said, the Superman outfit is rather important. It reflects the character’s personality and presentation. For example, the outfit Richard Donner gave Christopher Reeve for his role as the Man Of Steel is bright and hopeful, while the outfit Zack Snyder gave Henry Cavill for his role in Man Of Steel…kept him from being naked. The cape was too long, the colors too dark, the material itself was that same basketball covering used in The Amazing Spider-Man movies for Peter, and the S symbol was wrong. It’s not like there weren’t tons of other outfits in live-action, animation, and the original comics to point the costumer to and say “make this to fit Henry”, and the same is still true for David.
The outfit, as I pad out the intro for the homepage, can best be described as an improvement over Snyder’s outfit. It’s not terrible, but as you’ll see a few…adjustments had to be made. So I popped the image being circulated on X-Twitter by Discussing Film into the ol’ image editor, make some tweaks, and while I’m sure by the time this goes live better image editors have already improved on it, what I did wasn’t too bad for my skill level. I’m satisfied with it, but first we should go over the good and bad of the teaser image. It almost works. Almost.
