I actually kind of like Captain Falcon's portrayal in the anime. It's more "Batman" and less "Chuck Norris".

And to narrow it down further, the dark feel Batman in the comics and movie Batman, not Adam West Batman.
Anime Falcon's basically the personality of the game Falcon. He's not very smug, he's very wise. X he says "My time has not yet passed"...
Wanna know what's just plain sad? People avoid F-Zero because it doesn't have FALCON PUNCH all the time.
EDIT: TV, I never said it wasn't funny. I just think Falcon's a lot more than what Smash gave him.

Eh? More like he's alot less than what Smash gave him. Did he do anything before Smash? He was just another generic racer. Now? FALCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCH

But it sucks because it isn't from any F-Zero games before that. [/fanboy logic]
Even Snake and Otacon find themselves to be fans.

But then Captain Falcon's such an under-developed character, Smash pretty much made him what he is today. I mean, did anyone else remember the Falcon Flyer before Melee came along? Did he have any fighting moves? I mean, we knew he was a bounty hunter, but now we know how cool a bounty hunter he is! Before that, it was just a little bit of backstory.
GX and the anime developed the character too, I can't deny that. But I wonder if we'd even HAVE GX or the anime if Smash hadn't fleshed out the character even more.
Behold the power of Sakurai. Behold the power of FALCOOOON PANCH!

Wow, Captain Falcon is serious business apparently!
I think it's great that he's got this kind of sidewaysedly goofy persona hanging just to the left of the serious one he flaunts in Brawl and GX's story modes. I mean, it just makes him taking the lead of the Samus-DK-Diddy-Olimar-ROB-Pikachu Team in SSE that much more epic, you know?
Also, dark, grim-n-gritty Batman isn't necessarily a good thing. The line, "Are you retarded, kid? I'm the goddamn Batman." didn't become a 4chan meme because it was awesome.

It was what he was in the beginning before going down campy lane. |

In the beginning, Batman carried a gun which he used to shoot criminals. This is serious trufax, Froggy.
While I don't approve of the Adam West/Cesar Romero end of the Batman spectrum, I'm also not a fan of the opposite extreme in contemporary Bat-books.

I thought the gun was phased out very quickly. Other wise, Batman's portrayed there was pretty much the same as it was in Tim Burton's movies (which employed a little more surrealness) and the animated series (which I was raised on, justifying my preference).
If you want to get technical, I prefer the middle, since that's where the movies and animated show come from, but when you get down to it, there only ever were two spectrum, and those were the ones you just mentioned.

Batman only carried the sidearm in his first year in print. It was phased out by May 1940, the first appearance of Dick Grayson. He only used it in a few stories: "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate!" (Detective Comics #27, May 1939) chief amongst them. Golden Age Batman was also quite a bit more brutal than any other portrayal: In one issue he snapped a 'Cossack''s neck by kicking him from a Batline. And we can't forget "Quite, or Papa spank!" can we?
By mid 40s. Bats had been phased out of his pulp roots into a more superhero position. By the time the Comics Code Authority rolled around in '54, he was firmly placed in sci-fi detective work. It wasn't until 1969, with Denny O'Neil and Neil Adams did Batman return to his darker roots.
Burton's films were fairly good recreations of Golden Age Batman. Frank Miller, on the other hand, wanted to show how freakin' creepy and psychotic Batman is. This went over a lot of people's head. >.< ASB&RTBW is Miller's way of satirizing his own work to the nth level. I quite like it.

Did anyone play this game? I always wondered why they gave him a gun there. I remember laughing at a friend of mine just for owning it. |
