Injustice: Gods Among Us - Bane & Lex Luthor Confirmed

[Compbros]

But he does do this. He donates to charities all the time and gets involved with the GCPD frequently. It's just that Gotham is a shithole and a very corrupt one at that. It's not as bad as Hub City but it's up there.

I know this, but how much does he donate? I'm sure it's not upwards of 100 million, let alone the 500 million I threw out there. Wayne can give to all the boys homes he wants but how about the latest in bulletproof, riot gear for the cops? Or, better yet, how about he design some high tech weaponry and armor that only the police can use? Only their fingerprints/DNA can activate these things and only one cop per gun/armor.

A Superman fan has no business trying to blow plotholes in other people's comics. Batman with his millions can never win his war on crime but he fights just the same.

Superman chooses not to stop the evil in the world because sometimes his actions blow up in his face. Big difference.

I'm not talking Superman right now, I'm talking Batman. I'm not talking the World right now, I'm talking Gotham. I'm not talking about Clark's abilities, I'm talking about Bruce's resources.

Millions of dollars CAN'T fix the world dude.

Being rich ain't a magic potion.

A living god could though, but let's not discuss that.

Again, not the world, but I'm sure billions of dollars can fix Gotham. Gotham is what I'm talking about since Batman is based in Gotham.

 

[Killzone]

Bruce Wayne has enough money to buy every single crook in Gotham a new, amazing life!

 

[The Borax Kid]

Billions can't change gotham. Trillions probably can't change gotham unless you make it into a police state. Look at all the psychotic supervillians and how inherently evil the city is. Duh.

How rich Batman is has never been consistent, and how much charity he does is never explicit either.

Because nobody really cares about business meetings or running a company in a Batman comic. That is just background story.

But people pretend Supes is Jesus or something and can't ever be questioned.

Billions can't change Gotham? Really? There's literally like 3 actual "Super" villains based in Gotham and, if the common crooks are taken care of with the high tech police force, then these actual supervillains are not gonna be anywhere near a problem since Batman handles them on a regular basis. Giving that weaponry to the GCPD cuts down on the need for Batman except the absolute, most extreme options of a Clayface and the like.

So, his company only makes as much money as is needed for him to comfortably be the Batman? To spend millions and go unnoticed?

I don't understand the point of this one.

Superman is questioned on a regular basis but, again, I'm merely responding to the "Batman is one of the most well written, thought out plots", there is no comics without problems but Batman's are a constant punch in the face whenever I read them. I'm also not knocking other people that DO like Batman, I simply don't and am giving my reasons of why I don't.

His whole thing with Batman Incorporated does that. He gives a bunch of shit to the GCPD and to other places around the world. It just isn't enough to make a difference.

What type of stuff? Again, I don't heavily read Batman so I don't know all this but what's stopping him from making and providing the stuff I said.

Giant ass Bat-robots for one. As for the other stuff you said, Biometric guns is a bit of a leap in tech that probably shouldn't be in Batman.
The problem in Gotham really isn't the villains having plot armor, it's just that 90% of the GCPD is corrupt as shit and on the payroll of gangsters. They actively take out evidence from cases or get bribed to slip people out of Arkham.

At this point wouldn't Internal Affairs intervene and shut down a lot, if not most, of the corrupt cops? Also, wouldn't the Commish be able to tell who the corrupt ones are and give them some menial jobs or even fire them and bring in others?

 

[Chicago_Royal]

All-Star Superman is a story that shows why people like Superman. It's more than a "fun romp", but I digress.


With Batman himself, why is Tim Drake, simply for finding out Wayne is Bats, allowed to be Robin? He does not have the training to deal with a Bane, Freeze, etc....He just "figured out" who the Dynamic Duo were and was given the character.

Why is Bruce Wayne able to come back from fight after fight? At the end of the day he's just a guy but he's been shot, stabbed, had his lungs punctured, ribs and various bones broken, etc...but at the end of the day it's like nothing happened. This isn't a huge problem but it does irk me with Bats (and characters like Green Arrow to be fair).

Where does he get the time? Bruce Wayne is a genius, athletic, playboy ninja. He basically designs his own weapons and computers; built an entire database of facts, criminals and other things; has to exercise constantly to stay in the shape since he must be layed out for days or weeks with these injuries; the list goes on.

Why does he use his money to be "Batman"? At this point I have to assume he's spent well over a half billion being Batman: Why not use this money on Gotham? Increase the police force, beef up Arkham, etc.....You take away the henchmen of people like Joker and Two-Face and you're left with crazy people that aren't nearly as hard to deal with.

All the bad guys know where Arkham is so it's easy to plan a break from the outside, why not use something else? Arkham can be for the henchmen and you use some hole on an island no one has ever heard of for the super-villains/crazies.


These are just general questions that come to my mind when I read a Batman comic and, honestly, it takes me out of the comic which is a bad feeling when reading a comic. You want to immerse yourself in the universe but Batman's Universe is so full of "why" or "what" that it's hard for me to overlook things. On top of that, a lot of the villains have that same type of "snarky" attitude so, if I were to have these lines read aloud to me, alot of the time I wouldn't be able to tell a Penguin from a Two-face, for example.


Edit: I'm truly sorry to bring this up again but:


So, again, why so many Bat people when they aren't really drawing from some comic arc?

Ok considering, and i know i suffer from this same thing, you have a superman logo as your icon im going to assume you being a giant superman fan that this discussion could go on and on. Its safe to say that both batman and superman have had their flops but i dont think id be using my time wisely trying to state that fact over and over. My original point here was to give respect where it was due instead of blindly making comments and insults where theres no merit to.

The Batman universe, altho it may have its flaws just as any other DC or Marvel comic, is still one of the most influencial and most known to this day for a reason and you cant deny that considering next to superman Batman is one of the longest living heroes in comic book history. And i still stand by what i say when i say its one of the most thought out and designed simply becuase how interesting alot of the characters are. Now i could go into Supermans universe and describe why Im not a fan of Superman at all and why i think Batmans design is alot more interesting that would be straying from my original point here which i dont intend on doing.

The Batman recruits children who are not older than 12 years and who are still somehow able to easily defeat the Gotham City bad guys who are basically all just psychopaths with a theme and guns and who are still able to easily defaet the Gotham City police, a bunch of guy who are so fucking unmotivated and don't give a damn about the population.

Joker kills 1000 people, Batman puts him away and waits for the next 1000 dead bodies. Thought out and well designed? No, it's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad writing, but hey ... it's DC. DC likes to stick to the stuff that happened 50 years ago, since they writers grew up with these characters and are now fan-wanking them, because they have the power to do so.

If I was a DC writer, you would read realistic DC comics for the first time in your life. Joker would die in the first comic and so would the other ridiculous Gotham City villains, who simply don't have anything besides the plot that protects them.
Superman would go insane in under a month, since a hero like him can't exist in a realisticly written comic book world.
Oh and Robins would get their legs broken and their teeth torn out, simply because little kiddy--heroes don't have a place in a comic that is supposed to be realistic, but in the end it really isn't, never was and never will be.

The fact that you just said Realistic completely nullified anything else you have to say...You do realize we are talking about superheroes right? If realism is what you want then go watch the Dark Knight series. Closest interpretation ive seen of any comic to 'realism'

 

[jbthrash]

So is this version of Bane going to be a MK grappler? Or more of a taditional grappler like Zangief? For example: Unblockable throws with big damage.

Never said Superman didn't have his flops and I would've never brought up the problems of Batman if someone didn't say it was "one of the most thought out and well designed plots in comic book history and thats probably why batman has gotten as popular as he is.". Just go look, I was saying nothing about the Bat Universe, just how so many Bat people weren't needed before this post. I never insulted anyone, I never downgraded Batman's fanbase, I never did any of these things. I pointed out problems I had with Batman having the amount of characters that he has in the game and, when that post was made, the Bat Universe.


It is influential, it is the most popular DC title. Superman is also influential, so is Spider-man, X-Men, Avengers, etc......Influential in what way? Please specify. However, it is indeed influential and popular, I know these things, I've never denied these things. It has well thought out arcs, it has well thought out storylines, as a whole it is not well thought out. Some characters are more interesting than other longstanding comics, others are not.

 

[Killzone]

Batman tries to be realistic, while he really isn't.
And the same applies for the Dark Knight series.

I've watched all of the three movies and while the take on them was quite realistic, yes - I still have to say that the writing was B - A - D: BAD.
Especially the second and the third movie. There are SO MANY PLOTHOLES, it's not even funny anymore. It's not possible for me to enjoy the movie with so much obvious bullshit, that no one seems to get.

For starters:

 

[MKF30]

lol please, DK was far better then Avengers...want to talk plotholes or PIS elements like how Ironman didn't get chopped up in the huge fan? How people say DKR was dull yet Avengers nothing really happens until the end, minor "Avenger" fights to keep people excited "owee Hulk vs. Thor" like who cares? lol Hulk smashing Loki =pure comedy and lack of seriousness. Besides, half the time a plothole isn't even a plothole but rather just a fan missing the obvious that's sheer common sense. Like how Batman snuck back into Gotham unnoticed? Easy, he's Batman...I'm so sure he can't sneak his way by a few thugs...especially if the Special Forces got in on a food truck.

Or how he survived, umm Bruce modified the jet's autopilot as well as obviously built an escape route(again these things are common sense and don't have to be shown) That's like saying, well how does Iron Man's suit hold up against a fall from fucking space....because that's totally realistic and believable lol.

Doesn't matter, Man of Steel will be better then both DKR and Avengers I bet. Any movie if you go nuts you'll find a plothole or question but it's all fiction, who cares? All comics are.

I'm happy Bane is confirmed, but does he have two looks? The classic comic book look in the scan and the pic of him in the beginning of the video?

Pretty sure the pic at the beginning is just random fan art.

 

[OllyGolly]

I can't wait for mainstream people to hear Bane talk and be like, "What the hell? Why is Bane like Mexican and shit? Stupid MK people. Don't know that Bane is English!"

That would indeed be sad because that would say that they dont know anything about bane plus dc is kind of working with netherrealm on this one lol

this, sadly

 

[GGA Fill Pops]

Lol Im with ya man bane is so much cooler in the comics then in the movie he has to have a cool latin voice hevis so badass.

I can't wait for mainstream people to hear Bane talk and be like, "What the hell? Why is Bane like Mexican and shit? Stupid MK people. Don't know that Bane is English!"

 

[Chicago_Royal]

I feel they may or should go about it like they did with batman. Because you notice batmans look seems inspired by the recent dark knight outfit and out his headpiece isnt exaclty an entire cowl.

So maybe give bane his latin roots and accent but since hes also wearing a full mask maybe give him the effect of the filter like he did in TDKR. I thought that might be pretty cool.

I really hope some game """""journalism""""" website does this. Imagine the shitstorm. Please please please God let it be Kotaku.

 

[GGA Fill Pops]

Mabey a alt costume but i hate tht stupid mask cuz all you have to do to defeat him is punch him in the mouth a. Few times and he cant stand the pain in that case no one would choose tht stupid costume just my opinion lol.
