Marvel at Batman in a New Light
Everybody loves Batman – DC Universe’s prized hero. Whether he’s scaling city towers or solving mind-boggling riddles, Batman never fails to thrill us. However, there’s one scene from Justice League: The New Frontier (2008) that really steals the show. First crafted by Darwyn Cooke in his captivating graphic novel, The New Frontier, this scene discloses Batman’s true character like never before.
Memorable Encounter with Martian Manhunter
One of the highlights of the film is Batman’s face-off with Martian Manhunter, impressively played by Harry Lennix. On earth, Martian Manhunter takes the shape of General Calvin Swanwick, he is so sure that his identity is safe that he practically dares anyone to challenge it. But ever the sharp-minded crime fighter, Batman disrupts this confidence with a single sentence, leaving the alien hero speechless.
“I’m not sure what you are or where you’re from,” Batman tells Martian Manhunter, “but my instincts say you’re trustworthy. But remember, I have a seventy-thousand dollar piece of radioactive meteor to stop the one from Metropolis. For you, all I need is a penny and a book of matches.” This line shocks Martian Manhunter and highlights the intensity of Batman’s character.
Behind Batman’s Powerful Words
This scene shows why fans adore Batman. His determination to defend Gotham and its inhabitants knows no bounds. Viewers will remember not only the goosebumps the scene gives but also the extent of Batman’s methods, no matter how unconventional, to achieve his aim.
Head to head with Ben Affleck’s Batman
When we compare this Batman with Ben Affleck’s version in Zack Snyder’s DC films, we find that the latter couldn’t quite match up to Batman in The New Frontier. Even though Affleck’s Batman also employed some shockingly unconventional tactics, particularly in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, he missed the sensitive perspective seen in The New Frontier.
The Batman of The New Frontier is an enigma, serving sinister remarks to unsettle his enemies. His readiness to crash through traditional boundaries or relay barely-hidden threats sets this portrayal apart.
In Conclusion: Batman Unparalleled in The New Frontier
So, among all the Batman scenes we’ve seen, Justice League: The New Frontier truly takes the cake. Penned by Darwyn Cooke, it stands unequalled. Fans enjoy Batman’s resilience and the frontier he’s willing to cross to safeguard Gotham City. Even with the series of live-action versions, there’s nothing like the intensity and ethical uncertainty presented in The New Frontier’s Batman.
