Batman has barely scratched the surface of that mythology because the Robin part is so fucking weird and inappropriate. It's hard to justify a grown ass man taking a 14-year old boy and turning him into brightly colored partner in tights. Chris Nolan literally hits a wall when he introduces an older Robin, but it still breaks his dead serious algorithm and Nolan quits the franchise. Joel Schumacher, the gayest franchise director that ever lived, couldn't help himself when he finally got to play with the homoeroticism of Batman and Robin and slapped nipples on them. If you can get around the child labor laws and overall bad parenting of Bruce Wayne, there are very interesting stories to be told about that relationship, specifically Jason Todd's death and then resurrection as a villain. But ultimately 1960s Batman probably got it right. Robin is just such a ludicrous character, once engaged, he changes the tone and better to laugh than get weirded out.

I am not a fan of IMAX. I don't think it does anything. It's just a bigger screen. In a damn box ratio. Blown up television. Give me Cinemascope any day of the week. Just make a big IMAX screen and add the sides. It's only a box because of the limitation of that antiquated film format running through a camera gate that can barely take the stress. Most of that stuff isnt even shot in IMAX but "FOR IMAX." Which is just digital cameras like Venice 2 or Alexa 65. This fluctuating presentation format is also ridiculous. Do we believe that compositions matter? So you're telling me a filmnaker supposedly cares about every little detail about presentation but then doesn't care that vast majority of the movie will be played in theaters in some compromised cropping? I'd rather lock the image in a very specific format and make sure everyone sees it according to my intended compositions with edits calibrated to that eye tracking. The irony is there's nothing more dismissive of cinema than the idea that fluctuating compositions due to format presentation don't matter, whether it's IMAX or iPhone.

There's a huge problem with cinema illiteracy and in this case that of a guy who has been raised on flat LUT looks of the last 15 years. He can only view movies from "realism" and any hyperstylism is viewed as "artificial." Hopefully the next generation has a more open mind.
