I Saw The New Bat-mobile.....and fell asleep for an hour.

Here we go. The new Bat-mobile.  Yes, it DOES look like a Star Wars craft.  Look at all those guns.   Is it just me zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz hmm? Uh, right. Is it just me or does anyone else zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzSorry. Uh, yes. absolutely boring the ass off me.

When Michael Keaton was Batman in two great movies (starting in 1989) his high-tech Bat-mobile was novel. It was ass-kicking.  Now it's just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring. Green Hornet...car with heavy calibre machine guns, rocket launchers.......snore.  

It's like a worn out old joke.  Hollywood ideas:

Starsky & Hutch -a popular 1970s crime drama.......let's make a comedy movie.

Green Hornet...........................................................let's make a comedy movie

Dark Shadows.........................................................let's make a comedy movie

I Spy.......................................................................let's make a comedy movie

21 Jump Street.......................................................let's make a comedy movie

Green Lantern.........................................................let's make a comedy movie...it was meant to be -right?

Ant-Man................................................................let's make a comedy movie

and so on and so on ad nauseum.



Yes, big guns.  Big explosions.  Buildings falling down.  I mean, come on. Use good old fashioned writing and acting.  Super heroes are really hip and cool so now all the stars are saying "I'd love to do a super hero movie"......if appearing covered from head to toe in shit was "hip, cool" and brought in lots of press and big pay cheques they'd want to be in it.

It's all just getting ridiculous.  Hey -is there a Bat-sanitiser in the Bat-Mobile???

Oh lords....like comic reboots this all Batman-Superman thing is leaving me cold.
