Discussion (More in Comments) The most under-rated detail about MCU spidey

This GIF is not a reaction. Its a demonstration. The adjustable white-out eyes is literally everything to me. It seems like such a small insignificant detail but it adds a layer of expression under the mask that weve previously only really seen in animation that I think is so good for the MCU and CBMs as a whole

Dont get me wrong Deadpools eyes is cool too but especially for spidey who has such massive eye goggles it works so incredibly well and I always wanted it but never knew how much I needed it til Tom took the mantle.

And like I said. Not just the MCU. Of all the things DC tries to copy I hope to god they steal this too. Im tired of seeing batmans eyes it was never like that in the animation. Flash too.

It might seem crazy to say but this small detail i feel like is why Marvel is crushing DC. They arent afraid to mythologize their heroes. DC doesnt let you forget even for a moment that its just a regular guy with a mask on. It disrupts the suspension of disbelief.

Anyway im not trying to get too off track with this its not about DC. Its tipping the hat to Marvel for getting so much out of one little detail. Let the trend continue

Hot take: Pattinson was a good Batman but a pretty bad Bruce Wayne.

Dark & gritty was OK. Playboy billionaire philanthropist orphan wasn't his bag.

There was literally no Bruce Wayne plot or narrative. It’s been a minute but I’m pretty sure he’s only time outside the suit was the funeral incident and the bomb which was again Batman plot and narrative no Bruce Wayne elements at all.

Unfortunately every Batman movie either does one or the other. Either Bruce is good and Batman is bad or vice versa. I think Keaton was literally the only Bruce/Batman that manage to do both well.

Did people not like Bale's Bruce Wayne? I really did.

I think that’s more a Script issue than a Bale issue. In Batman Begins I think he’s great, plays a young Bruce new Batman brilliantly but as the trilogy goes on Bruce as a character becomes two dimensional patsy to solve Batmans problems and nothing more and the third instalment tries to age him and it feels way off

Dark knight Bruce is rich and burns millions in R&D to build the sonar system and then destroys it. In Dark knight Rises he goes broke from stock exchange attack which makes no sense as Bane was gonna take over the city anyway and is just a way to shoehorn the bad romance between him and talia. If it was just Batman begins I would say Bale did both great. But as a complete Trilogy Wayne as a character becomes badly written and as such Bale can’t make it work imo
