Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Mis Blamed: A very sad example. Everyone - including Joel Schumacherhimself - blames him for everything wrong with Batman and Robin. The truth is, yeah, he designed the "Bat-Nipples" - but most of his other so called "mistakes" were only his response to please the meddling executives. They demanded a more "toyetic" design - a word Schumacher never even heard before. Meaning: Without the "Bat-Credit-Card", Ahnold in a silly, shiny plastic-armor and Uma Thurman's Gorilla-dance, he'd probably have lost his job. Of course, nowadays noone doesn't even think about blaming the Executives - somewhat ironic, as they're almost always the first to be blamed (especially on This Very Wiki) regardless of their actual involvement.
The Executives also wanted the movie to be campy like the old Adam West Batman, which explains a lot.
As noted in the main page, Warner Bros themselves are at fault for the Misblaming: with The Dark Knight Trilogy and Joker becoming smash hits, they pretty act like it was all Schumacher's fault and that they "saved" Batman from Schumacher.
