Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

Not even remotely homage-y in how much he looks like Batman. If I was WB/DC I’d be pissed and issue a cease-and-desist especially given that Big Daddy kills like I do morning calisthenics. Okay, I don’t do morning calisthenics, but Big Daddy kills like he snorts Punisher MAX.
If you’ve read the series and know the twist about him in the end, then the costume makes sense. Also, he’s rich, why would he look like the amateur he is in the comics when he can have a professional costume.

I don’t remember Big Daddy being a Batman clone in the comic…what’s going on with that?
You should have posted the video instead…Horrifying, hillarious and heart-warming.

Yeah, he looks a little like they just stole a rejected Batman Begins costume design off of a Warner lot somewhere.

That clip was one of the most twisted, disturbing things that I have ever seen on a screen.
