The Ultimate JWFan Batman Poll

[mstrox 6,637]

There are two, utlizing the original cast when able, including Adam West before his passing.  They also cast William Shatner as new (to '66) villain Two-Face, which is pretty on-point.

Those are pretty good.

[Pellaeon 593]

60s, baby! Color, pow, sex, rock & roll. Iconic. Not as rewatchable as 60s Star Trek, but still, great fun with the family.

[Edmilson 7,367]

The 60s Batman show gave birth to a famous internet meme in Brazil. Some guys in the 80s recorded an episode and then re-dubbed it, making the characters say a lot of dirty jokes. Then the video went viral right when YouTube started. 

 

Every Brazilian that accessed YouTube in the past 15 years know jokes like the Joker saying "Today I'm gonna fuck Batman! I'll fuck him right in the ass! I'm gonna rip his dick off!" and stuff on the same level.

[bruce marshall 1,314]

I'm shocked that RETURNS , the film, is so popular!

 

Top three scores:

MOTP

BF

TDKR

Why is Hans Zimmer such a condescending arse online?

Yeah, as you've shown me, Lord Zimmer constantly belittles people and gets into it with them on Facebook. He's like a bored middle aged housewife on social media. What an embarrassment. Is he just out of work right now?

[Quintus 5,399]

Really? What's he been saying? Does he have a Facebook presence?

Yes, and I don't see any "belittling" in his Facebook posts. He mostly shares political posts that are very sympathetic. Anti-Trump (when that was a thing) and other issues with a social conscience.

[mstrox 6,637]

Don't know if it's here or on the Discord, but someone did a screenshot of him crapping on somebody who was using a free and available instrument sample instead of a paid one.

It was in a private group, where he pretty much railed against a guy who was asking for free sound samples for a specific instrument. It quite frankly seems more like a miscommunication issue, given the guy likely only meant actually free samples and not pirated like Zimmer was assuming. It's hard for me to really gauge much out of it, besides that I don't think HZ's heart was in the wrong place, but was likely too aggressive in tone anyway.

[Quintus 5,399]

Okay, thanks for the replies guys.

Doesn't say much for Zimmer's reading comprehension.

[bruce marshall 1,314]

Look who is complaining about Zimmers posts.

Pretty easy to figger out the " why" they bitch..even without knowing what HZ wrote.

" Think Otis! Think!"

😁

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Because he's a catty old Hollyweird douche?

[bruce marshall 1,314]

Why are you reading his posts in the first place.?

I'm a big fan of his music and I could care less.

Stick to "Aussieweird" composers.

This interaction seems to be blown out of proportion. Yes, he wasn't exactly super sweet with his response, but he was giving some really frank and useful advice to a young composer. The poster was asking where he could find a free library for a specialty instrument (the erhu), and Zimmer was suggesting that he find more imaginative solutions than "free samples" (ex. find players to work and engage in dialogue with). Advice that more young composers of this generation could DEFINITELY use. Good on him.

 

The Internet just needs to grow thicker skin.

He's also active on this forum, where he talks a lot about tech and stuff:

He goes under the username "Rctec".

One week after the start of the poll, I guess the results are pretty much definitive! So there they are:

 

The best Batman film according to JWFanners is The Dark Knight, with 16 votes! In second place, there's Batman Returns, with 12 votes. The 89 Batman movie is in third with 10 votes and Batman Begins is in fourth with 7 votes.

 

The best Batman score according to JWFanners is Danny Elfman's Batman with whopping 23 votes. The second best is Batman Returns with 16 votes. In a very distant third place there's The Dark Knight, with 4 votes. None of the other scores got more than 2 votes.

[Jay 37,249]

All those results are what I would have expected

[Romão 2,274]

I voted for Batman Returns as the best score, but Batman Forever really deserved a better result

[Jay 37,249]

What what make a nice poll would be if people got to pick 3 choices per question instead of just 1

This process doesn't have to burn a hole in your pocket. The Internet is a big place, and has definitely helped democratized music. You can really creative nowadays, when it comes to finding people to work with.

[bruce marshall 1,314]

I am sure people cconfused BATMAN RETURNS with BATMAN BEGINS.

It's the only plausible explanation for all the votes it garnered

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Ffs, the poor fella was just politely asking for some free samples. Not a public scolding.
