Okay… I DID NOT see this coming. While I prefer my Batman dark and broody, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about seeing Adam West return to cape and cowl for some crazy campy bat-action. This movie should be a lot of fun.
In Super Mario 64, during the first mission of Jolly Roger Bay, Unagi the Eel blocks the entrance to the sunken ship. No matter how long you stay near him, he will not leave until you swim away and come back. This is because the game is trying to hide that he has no animation for exiting the ship; instead he simply warps out once Mario is far away. It’s possible to see this in action by swimming away and holding C-Up so the camera moves above Mario.
ok but, this isnt a mermaid kinda deal, where you can just flip two bits and be done with it. a manticore has PARTS
theres a lot of other interpretations of em out there, but for simplicity lets say theres four defining Big Features to work with that i can swap around
first up, the back bit (scorpion tail) and front bit (human face) are switched, giving us a scorpion face. if we were being really accurate the scorpions entire head actually consists of a lot more legs, but were not, so it doesnt
then instead of a lion body, its a bat body, swapping with the wings and giving us, incredibly, another fucking pair of bat wings
this would be the bit where the human tail goes in but guess what
and then I GUESS instead of bat wings, the reverse scorpion would have LION WINGS !! but theres no such thing so we gotta go with the closest equivalent, which is just a big ol goddamn pair of lion arms
