Reitman had just had major success with Murray on Stripes and was in the midst of the Ghostbusters whirlwind while developing the project. Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox! All of which leads to a love triangle between Bruce, the doomed Silver St. The Joker plays a major role too, but at the end of the day it actually bears greater similarity to many of the most popular superhero movies of today: a pretty standard origin story that imitates Richard Donner with an underwhelming set of villains.
Oh, and it had Robin making a shoehorned late entry like some kind of easter egg. The creative forces that would make Batman something quite a bit more alien had yet to arrive on the project. After all, she brought Burton to Warners and eventually to the Dark Knight. His bosses agreed they were both brilliant and also agreed that Burton should be fired because there was no way Disney could ever market his movies. He agreed to meet Burton. He was Burton had never been a comic book guy when he agreed to direct Batman.
Growing up as a somewhat melancholy and disaffected artist, he preferred creating his own characters to reading about the costumed adventurers. Nevertheless, as he has said countless times, the iconography of Batman inspired his imagination more than any other superhero, particularly with how Bob Kane first drew him after receiving notes from Bill Finger: as a masked wraith of almost supernatural quality.
It felt like new territory for that kind of movie at the time. Hamm himself came aboard the project as the unapologetic Batman fan… also at the guidance of Bonni Lee. Why is that? Consequently, Batman became a story about a myth, a legend, a ghoul that everyone in Gotham City is talking about.
This, for the record, is how the character was introduced in Detective Comics 27, but it is also an excuse to add the type of creative flourishes that no producer would dare allow a modern director to contemplate with these characters. After Batman , Gotham quickly took on an Art Deco hellishness in Batman: The Animated Series , and ever since that has been the preferred vision of the city.
Even the way the criminals are depicted is a departure from modern gangster fare that was popular in the comics and earlier drafts, and closer to classic noir. Still, by existing during a period where studios ignored passionate adult fans instead of trying to placate them, a truly unique stylist as well as a fan of a different era of comics were hired to reinvent superheroes in a non-formulaic way. Few tried to replicate that approach afterward, and few likely will in the future.
He built risk into it. It scares studios and financiers, and it did up the food chain until the very end. But that… very risk component helped get it made and helped make it what it is. While still a producer on the project, he was also a self-described fanboy who had flashes of Adam West dancing before his eyes.

Start your review of Batman: Legacy Vol. May 31, Chad rated it liked it Shelves: Starts off with the Bane of the Demon miniseries. Then the book goes into part 2 of the actual Legacy crossover. It's strange how DC broke this up with part one being in the last book. Batman, Nightwing, and Robin go on a world tour to stop the new version of the Clench from being released globally.
As far as 90's era Batman goes, this one's not too shabb Starts off with the Bane of the Demon miniseries. As far as 90's era Batman goes, this one's not too shabby. Oct 10, James DeSantis rated it liked it.
Legacy volume 2 continues the storyline of Batman trying to stop Ra from killing people with a deadly virus but we have our favorite bad guy Bane joining the cause. A lot of this volume is actually Bane getting close to Ra's daughter and becoming the next demon king. Well, his plans don't go as planned but least he gets to fight batman again. But this time Batman has backup with Nightwing and Robin. On top of that what about the virus? That's what we're trying to stop.
This Legacy volume 2 continues the storyline of Batman trying to stop Ra from killing people with a deadly virus but we have our favorite bad guy Bane joining the cause. This is pretty good cartoon like batman stories. Nothing amazing but it's still fun to read. With the exception of the awful Catwoman issues this collection isn't bad and sets up some interesting storylines and a great Robin moment trying to save someone. The fights are half way decent too as Bruce goes a bit berserk on Bane.
Not bad but not amazing. Sep 13, Chris rated it it was ok Shelves: comics-dc. This story continues to fill in the gaps between Contagion and Cataclysm. It's cool to catch up on these old issues as they weren't collected back when I first read the No-Man's Land storyline. The story and art varies from issue to issue as you'd expect, but it's a nice throwback to an earlier time in DC Comics.
Jan 27, Fernando Amaya rated it liked it. Now I can safely say that the first volume isn't necessary. It splits off three of the ten event issues and adds pretty much nothing instead.
The only thing it succeeds in is leaving on a cliffhanger. But that cliffhanger is broken by the volume two structure. Volume two starts with four issues of Batman: Bane of the Demon which details how Bane comes to work for Ra's Al Ghul, essentially working as a prequel to the event it was also written two years later to get you confused even more. The de Now I can safely say that the first volume isn't necessary.
The deadly plague seems to be back and now the demon himself, Ra's Al Ghul, is trying to cleanse humanity and build his dream of a better world with the help of his daughter Talia and Bane. The main event is great, we get some drama in the form of not knowing how bad will it go for Robin and then the iconic trio goes on a dramatic adventure all around the world trying to stop Ra's genocidal plan.
The majority of the event and additional issues are written by Chuck Dixon, which gives it a lot of necessary cohesion and great action which I've come to associate with this author. Merge the two volumes throwing away the padding and you get a great book but unfortunately you get what you get. A lot of the art is done by Graham Nolan and the last climactic fight between Batman and Bane is just gorgeous.
Another high mention is the art from Robin 33 by Staz Johnson. While the faces of heroes are not that great but some panels are simply amazing. Jan 14, Nate added it. In Knightfall and especially both Vengeance of Bane one-shots he was an interesting and smart character with whom you could even sympathize. Now, he loses some of his pathos and mystique. The rest of the Legacy crossover is decent if underwhelming. Good enough. Thank god. Feb 15, Wit rated it did not like it Shelves: comics.
Enjoyed the overall arc of the Legacy storyline. Jul 19, David rated it really liked it. Better then volume 1, mostly thanks to the presence of Rhas and Bane. This is classic 90s Batman.
On a less positive note I'm convinced that the majority of comic book artists can't draw an attractive female character without resorting to sensualized postures and facial expressions, even when this is totally in appropriate to the context of a scene as an example see pretty much any panel in this book where Talia is SUPPOSED to be expressing anger, regret or anything other then sultriness.
