They pronounce his name exactly like anyone else in Melbourne would, except that a lot of us (not me!) would put a na-na-na-na-na before the batman.

I actually think a lot of them think the train station is named after the fictional crime fighter, particularly the shorter crowd.

From its namesake, John Batman's wiki page:

The artist John Glover, Batman's neighbour in Van Diemens Land said Batman was "a rogue, thief, cheat and liar, a murderer of blacks and the vilest man I have ever known"

What a joker.

But that is because the movie is so bad to begin with. I hate dubs with a passion because most often the voice does not match the actor like originally intended by the director. Also in the case of japan animations, voice acting is a highly competitive career market over there which means there are many top tier actors to choose from. Liscensed dubs on the other hand deal with a lot of frequently contracted actors in a market that isn't bursting with talent.

Also the plot of this animation seems pretty ridiculous. I would have let the batman and joker pass but when everyone else in the batman universe, even the god damn butler, showes up I was like
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Interesting idea, but Kevin Conroy did not voice this batman and Mark Hamill did not voice this Joker, so it's not the real thing.

I agree with every point made here... and 5, maybe 10 years ago, I would happily engage in refuting any argument for god.

But it feels like society has gone backward since then.

OF COURSE, there's no god. There's no Santa, there's no tooth fairy and there's no Zeus. Thor was in an awesome movie, but so was fucking Batman (to be clear, I'm talking about the Dark Knight, not that DCEU shite). Doesn't make either of them real.

We've all made all the same logical coherent arguments for atheism, but at this stage it's so blindingly obvious, it's ... boring.

Is there a possibility of god? Uh, fine, I guess... but it's about as likely as me being the reincarnation of Elvis.

At this stage, I no longer have the energy or the motivation to debate people who still believe. Wanna believe in god? Eh, knock yourself out, as long as you don't try to push your fairytales onto my life or the lives of others, I really don't care anymore....

Holy WTF batman!

I'm the world's greatest detective.

Bato-man

As silly as Batman going back in time to feudal Japan is...I don't think its fair to put in the same sentence as Justice League. Let's give it a chance at least.

Always down for some Anime Batman.

The sad thing is that we already got a fantastic representation of DC... the animated Batman and Justice League series.

Those were fantastic.

The "Bruce and Diana visit Superman on his birthday" story? That is from the story For the man who has everything and even Alan fucking Moore (the original author) apparently liked it, and he hates EVERYTHING.

He is a bit off about the Nolan batman, which I felt was highly focused, and dead wrong about Batman killing people. There have been quite a few arcs in the comics about a Batman who killed people due to certain circumstances.

He is correct that most of the DC directors just seem to ignore the everything except the most basic memes about the heroes. I can also sum up DC's failures in two words: Zach Snyder. The man simply doesn't know how to make a functional superhero movie (yes, that includes Watchmen, which I liked but was underwhelming compared to the source material).

Man, those Batman cartoons surely have changed....

Externally: I'm no hero, I just did what I had to do. I didn't want to chase this guy, I had other things to do.

Internally: FUCK YEEEAAAAAHH! A legit excuse to chase someone on my bike! Best goddamn day ever! I am Batman on a motherfuckin' bike! wooot!

Should have put a tash on batman as well.
