It is the one and only Batman related DVD I do not, and will not purchase. I've turned down the special edition, 2 disks and all, from the $3 bin.

!!!!I'm the first to admit that what makes me LOL usually makes most others cringe. Wifeisall would more gladly shoot the TV than watch some of my wacky choices. Especially B&R.
[serious now]
Objectively (or trying to be, at any rate),
Batman Begins is one of the three best superhero films ever made, the other two being Superman: The Movie & Iron Man.
Just to set the record straight.
[/serious]
Now, on to how much I like Robocop 3...

You see them as the same?
Take a physics class, and/or remove the stick from your hind-quarters....
Yeah if the cape slowed him down a bit its plausible. But it didn't. Body armor wouldn't do anything to cushion you from a 300' fall. You could be wearing Vibranium Adamantium armor, but the fact is your insides would still be jarred so badly you would be dead in an instant.
With this reasoning The Joker from the original Batman(1989) movie should have been alive at the end after his fall. I guess Tim Burton's film has more realism than TDK.

Well, I didn't say it was entirely realistic, just that there's enough implied in the scene and the universe established in the films that suggests its possible.

Sure, if you ignore the actual reasoning. A (longer) fall, unprotected, onto pavement, is NOT the same circumstances.... as I already detailed, and you ignored...

Hell, just the maneuvering Iron Man does should liquefy him inside the suit, much less any impact.

Which still wouldn't explain how he survived the desert crash landing in the initial suit...

When did I bring it in then? I responded to someone else doing so, with story logic. I'm no scientist.

Quote:There was a scene in Mission Impossible III where an explosion knocked Tom Cruise back into a car, and they did it mostly with ropes, then CGI took them out, so it looked great, and Tom was suitably frazzled for the next few moments. BUT, think how YOU would react in that situation...

I'd be on the ground for at least a minute, probably more. I wouldn't be able to stand correctly for a few minutes, let alone run.
And this is all assuming I didn't break my neck hitting the car.
A totally realistic movie with humans just in great shape isn't possible anymore, let alone superheroes wearing body armour...
