so we are trying to define the mantra of the batman brand. and my team proposes: Gotham city is safe for me to live out my dreams with Batman around.

I think this is bullshit like mad.

can you do better? like a compact brand slogan?

does batman have a tagline like the shadow does? something like that.

Batman: The Dark Knight holding back the dark of night. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 09:25
Batsh*t Crazy and Loving It! -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 09:22
The Darth Vader of Good -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:21
The original signal is the Bat Signal. Who else would you signal for? -- nm - zork Nov 3, 09:21
Keeping Gotham safe, one vendetta at a time. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 09:20
If you're trying to market him...could one of you suggest to him that the stupid growly voice he has going on in TDK...it's a bit over the top. nm - Jim Nov 3, 09:20 7
- But see, in the reak world people would recognize his voice. - Spawn Nov 3, 09:28
- A bit? And Bill Gates is a bit wealthy? -- nm - David Nov 3, 09:25
- it actually made me laugh out loud in the first bale batman movie. it's awful, yeah? -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:22 4
  - It's probably the only way Bale can hide his cockney accent during the excitement. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 09:23 3
    - If you ever watched American Psycho, you'd know this not to be the case. -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:25 2
      - ...If anything I think the "fake-ness" of the gravel voice is intentional. He is Bruce Wayne not some voice projector. -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:27 1
        
        Exactly. I loved it. -- nmbo - Spawn Nov 3, 09:32
Batman: looks like a bat, scrams like a bat but hits like a man -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 09:16
Caped Crusader? -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:14 7
- The cape doesn't add anything to the brand. I think Callisto has it right -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 09:16 6
  - Yeah, "watchful protector" and "dark knight" are good. I also think "vigilant" can be worked in somehow. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 09:19 3
    - Something like "Vigilant protector of the city from the scourge of crime and corruption." -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 09:20 2
      - "Now rastafy him 20%." -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 09:21 1
        
        And whenever he's not around all the people should be asking "Where's Batman"? -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 09:22
  - on reflection, that's not true as the cape is part of the costume and the costume is very much a part of the brand. no cape = no bat - Roger More Nov 3, 09:17
  - I knew someone would break out TDK, so Im simply offering the alternative -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:17
(Oh, Spawn and I didn't see a single one! There were 2 Supermen and 2 Supergirls at daycare.) -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 09:13 3
- Let's see...we saw 2 Batmen, 1 Batgirl, 1 Wonder Woman, 1 Iron Man, about 8 ninjas, and a donkey dragon. nm - Jim Nov 3, 09:17 1
  - Oh yeah...and 2 Spider-Men. No Supes. -- nm - Jim Nov 3, 09:18
- ... and one Spiderman. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:15
It takes a single, disturbed individual to defeat crime -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 09:13 1
- ... vote Joker for Gotham Mayor -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:34
Isn't Batman considered a scourge to the populous? -- nm - nubby Nov 3, 09:13 2
- nubby = Superman? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:14
- populace? -- nm - mara Nov 3, 09:13
Justice doesn't always wear a badge. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:13 8
- . . . Sometimes it wears a codpiece. -- nm - pmb Nov 3, 09:20
- He's Bringing Sexy Black -- nm - Max Nov 3, 09:18
- this is *wonderful.* thank you. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:17 5
  - but was this taken from a comic? does that matter (that is might not be original)? -- nm - zork Nov 3, 09:19 4
    - If you google it, you just get some mystery novel. -- (link) - Amy Nov 3, 09:32
    - I don't think it matters. it's the fiber of the brand. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:23
    - I don't read comics so it's just off the top of my head. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:22
    - Blazing Saddles? - Roger More Nov 3, 09:21
Batman is about revenge and obsession, it seems to me. I'm not sure he's really making the city any safer. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 09:13 1
- DLC -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:15
ew, yeah. That's not good. - Callisto Nov 3, 09:13 3
- also, he's whatever Gotham needs him to be. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 09:17 1
  - this is a great point. you get an A+ in batman as well. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:20
- At. All. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:16
What Happens in the Batcave, Stays in the Batcave. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:12
Criminals are a suspicious lot. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:11 2
- Of course they're suspicious! That should read "superstitious". -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:12 1
  - "Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot", Wayne remarks, "so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts." -- (link) - Mop Nov 3, 09:13
Batman, like superman, but more black, and less powers. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:11
Batman: The World's Greatest Detective. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:11
