It's called the Batusi, and only Adam West (the TRUE Batman) can do it.

I have heard many comparisons about the real ghost busters and TMNT cartoon. There was a web page for it, but I can't remember the adress anymore.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 02-04-2003, 05:42 PM

Well, I wasn't talking about just TRG, but the entire GB line.

**Karpo_007** · 02-04-2003, 05:44 PM

Gb started out as a Movie. TMNT as a comic. There weren't many similarities before the cartoons.

TMNT don't equal Batman, TMNT=God.

Anyway...

While this isn't the same type of comparison as the topic mentions, I will say how coincidentally similar TMNT and Ghostbusters are:

-Both began in 1984
-Both take place in New York City
-Both have 4 main characters (not to mention the similarity of personalities)
-Both had cartoons that debuted in 1987

And I must include this as well; in terms of the cartoon, I think TMNT ripped off Jeanine (sp) from Ghostbusters with Irma.[/quote]

Yeah there are definite similiarites there. I don't think one influenced the other but they are similar.

....And suddenly I know what movies I want to watch when I get home...

WHO YA GONNA CALL?

Erm... I'm okay now. really.

Of thats where I read it.

Hmm... I'm probably gonna be flammed for this but I thought the first 2 Batman movies were really campy. The Joker was funny, but the laughs were unintensional. Like when he fired that guy into a skeleton, that scene was just dumb. And what's up with the ending in Batman returns where Catwomen french that guy(forgot his name) with the stupid stun gun in her mouth only to fire that guy(looks like they used the same skeleton prop from the first movie). Let's not forget how many times she was shot by that guy in close range and still lived to tell about it(dude she's like a few feet away and he can't aim to save his life?). Second of all I find the so call dark and gritty feel very cartoony. The world feels like a realistic cartoon. What's up with the giant spinning cat head on the building? The sets and shots of the city made me feel uncomfortable. They all look fake. The fights scenes leave much to desire. Batman's movements are stiff and unnatural. Take the fight in the clock tower in the first movie or the part where he was battling in the streets in the second movie. Maybe it's just the cape. It's in all the Batman movies though. The fighting is always so stiff. I liked Batman Forever the best because they didn't take it so seriously. Plus I liked Jim Carrey and Val Kilmer(I hope I spelled it right). I think Val was the best Bruce Wane in all 4 movies.

Now let's get back to the TMNT movies. First one was great. Second one was lighthearted. I hated the Villia Ice part too but overall the movie was great fun. Yes it's definitely NOT in the same league as the first movie but I find it very enjoyable. I don't think people give the 3rd movie enough credit. I am a huge fan of Romance Of The 3 Kingdoms and the whole going back in time to feudal Japan was great especially with the people rebelling against an evil king. Yeah that part with the rebellion really didn't develop that well(like why they were rebelling) but I found the movie had a more epic feeling to it. I really loved the part where Mikey charged into the burning house to save a little boy.

I think its a sin to pluralize sequel......TMNT 2 was awesome. Super Shredder and Vanilla Ice!?!? Count me in!!!! I hope they make yet another Batman sequel in which George Clooney gets his head ripped off by a loose hubcap.....I'd pay my dollar fifty to see that!

Actually it should be Gods.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 02-07-2003, 04:54 PM

Yes, you're right.

**Karpo_007** · 02-07-2003, 05:52 PM

Well only one of the "Gods" is involved with TMNT anymore.

Mikey the Party Turtle · 02-07-2003, 06:22 PM

Well, if this series is ANYTHING like how Batman:TAS was to Batman, THEN HOLY CRAP I'M GONNA LOVE THIS SHOW!

**Karpo_007** · 02-07-2003, 06:35 PM

That it will be, a darker, more serious TMNT based on the original comics.

Well, I kinda meant as in the comic rules, yet you have a GREAT and somewhat faithful cartoon to go along with it.
