to which i hold my reply.
yes, those characters were batman and robin -- all of the basics were covered in their designs. if the film's theme held to their regard, i.e; silly.
in a realistic film (with however many quotes y'wanna use) y'need a realistic costume.
Quote: Prometheus said: Again, I am perfectly open to checking this movie out, and being thrilled with the updates. The originals were silly, in retrospect. However, there needs to be something of the definite article there for it to be the Transformers.
megatron? i'll grant you. the design, if it pans out, is really nothing like the original.
but prime? i think yer off base -- the character definitely resembles the cartoon.
