I've always wondered what a bodybuilder in this costume would look like but for some reason it's never been done. Is there a ban on gray spandex or something?

Same. It was mind blowing recognizing that voice when the Gray Ghost episode aired. Hands down one of the best episodes. It's a shame about the typecast and that the character never returned within the series.

That might have worked in the 80s. Sounds more like your idea would have fit in better during golden age Simpsons or Mad magazine as a parody. Him dazzling the bad guys with his poses but inept at fighting. Now, it wouldn't work for me. Same as kid me couldn't completely buy Keaton as Batman.

Best live action Batman costume by far. Not even memeing. Raise the logo, stretch this over the batfleck costume and tell whichever Hollywood faggot who hates the trunks to kill themselves and you have the best costume possible.

Why is the Adam West Batman remembered fondly, but Robocop 3 is so hated? They’re both the product of executives forcing the creators to make the character and story more light-hearted and comical. I guess the real question is, when does edginess work and when does it not?

That's apples to oranges. Adam West Batman was in the 60s and he wasn't necessarily that much more light-hearted than the source material. Robocop 3 is a direct sequel to things that came out and made a name for themselves only a couple of years before, in the 90s.
Nobody cried when The Mask or Beetlejuice or any other movie got a cartoon adaptation that toned things down since it was just for kids. Robocop 3 is incompetent even before it being more light-hearted and comical.

Robocop 3 was a kid-friendly sequel to a movie that showed people having their hands blown off with shotguns, shot in the chest 40 times and then a bullet put in their forehead, bad guys throwing one of their own out to be roadkilled, urban chaos and looting and random destruction that makes BLM rallies look like kids birthday parties, whores being told "BITCHES, LEAVE", and a dude who got bathed in toxic waste and had his flesh literally melting off and then hit by a speeding car and exploding into offal.
And even so it's not the toned down violence that I mind, it's that the special effects were done on a high schoolers budget and look like so much garbage. That one car chase comes to mind, plus any scene where they used the jet pack. Which sucks because the plot of the movie ain't bad and the samurai robots were cool.

A key difference is one is an adaptation whereas the other is a sequel, a sequel implies continuation not just in plot but in tone. This is why the Robocop cartoon(s) aren't really hated as much not just because they're less notable but because they're distinct enough from the movies to be judged on their own merit.

Robocop 3 really needed to up the ante on all fronts too. I know public opinion is divided on the second film but it did alot right for a sequel, hell it even committed to the tone of the original. To walk away from the drug addicted mecha-murderer who turned his only son into Scarface Jr headfirst into what feels like a saturday morning cartoon plot despite such high stakes (OCP getting bought out by the Japanese, the Old Man induring a coup de'tate from his PMC underlings, Anne Lewis dying, civillians forced into post apocalyptic living conditions building upto a civil war) just blueballed fans. A mistake made worse by Terminator 2 just curbstomping the shit out of it a few weeks before its release and Orion going under a year earlier to boot.

T2 came out one or two years earlier, I forgot if it was 1991 or 1992, but Robocop 3 was 1993 or 1994.
And yeah Robocop 2 felt like a sequel, even if it toned down the gore considerably. It at least managed to make Detroit look like a lawless shithole where people murder the homeless for his shoes. Robocop 3 had some of those moments but it wasn't played out as over-the-top ridiculous as Robocop 1 or 2 did. Like I said, it lacked in execution, the plot itself was okay.

I think Family Guy was the only time he wasn't typecast as an aging Superhero. I mean he plays himself but...
i also listened to a Twilight Zone audio drama he starred in and he played an aging guy with a young wife who he takes an experimantal youth potion for.

Another reason why MacFarlane is better than Bitch Fartman

He had a few other roles, mainly playing into his intense delivery for humor. In the movie Baadasssss about the making of Sweet Sweetback's badass song he plays an eccentric millionaire investor who wants Melvin van Peebles to strip naked and swim with him

No I mean the costume. Light grey fabric base, black cape and cowl, trunks. Raise the logo 3 inches up on the chest, and it’s perfectly designed.
Stretched over the BvS batfleck costume it would be a perfect size and satisfy the “he needs armor” autists. Every costume since West has been ugly ass armor, no trunks and no light grey. Live action is hardly even Batman anymore.

You should ask this again but instead of Robocop 3 replace it with Batman and Robin or Batman Forever. Batman and Robin is campy as shit. But its badly written. Batman Forever is campy but its more competent. Both are hated largely and both are the reasons Batman has never been campy like this again (besides Brave and the Bold). People prefer the darker tones for Batman stories.

Honestly I prefer Batman and Robin to Forever, Forever just felt really obnoxous because Riddler and Two-Face felt really really out of character. Whereas Freeze and Ivy at least somewhat resemble their characters.

I think it was perfect in a "what if these characters were in Batman 66" way. I think Carrey perfectly captured Gorshin's Riddler. People say Tommy Lee was trying to match Carrey. I think he actually did fine from his first monologue to the last monent but it sucks that Schoemacher cut the Two-Face origin from that movie.
