I think fondly, sill, of the Val Kilmer Batman.... not so much on the Clooney one.

Have you played either of the latest Batman games? Total Joygasm.

Yeah, Dini is good.
Some TAS and the Arkham games to his credit.
(for some dumb reason he's not attached to the next batman game)

but I think Mik is right, which is unfortunate.
but I don't think that its something that's lacking that doesn't carry over.
Instead I think its its more that theirs stuff in those sources that people don't want on film.
Some of it is still "comic-booky" which for animation and gaming is perfectly fine, but people would riot for some reason you put comic book stuff in a movie about a comic book super hero.

In terms of film, there are people that don't like that Spawn even has a cape, or that the Hulk is green.
(still trying to wrap my head around that last one.)

Sometimes its like they don't want a super hero flick at all.
Which might be where batman seems to pull lots of on screen credit from, considering he's powerless.
He's just super summer flick action dude...Bruce Willis in a mask.

Val Kilmer was a decent batman tbf, it's a pity he was trapped in a piece of shit film.

Nolan's Batman for me, is my favourite trilogy of all time, fuck star wars.

Don't be silly, you can be Bat-girl, Batwoman, or Bat-Aussie.

I love LotR and Tolkien, along with C.S Lewis is the grandaddy of all fantasy stories as far as I'm concerned, but the Ghost army bullshit was the biggest use of deus ex machina I've ever seen, outside of Harry Potter.

LotR was excellent but I found myself slightly bored by a lot of it, thank fuck they cut 99% of the poems and fucking singing because the books are diabolical for that shit.

I'd watch BB, TDK and TDKR pretty much every day if I could get away with it, I saw Fellowship on channel 4 the other day and after first 20minutes, I got up to play some Dota.

*Sigh*

Your leather clad fem-dom night life doesn't actually qualify you, kiddo.
Even if you do patrol the streets.

You're just a really mean hooker is all.

No. No it wouldn't, and it would be a whole lot less fun.
I'm thankful for your boobs.
See how much fun tits are!?

Can't be batman so might as well be evil. Like poison ivy or ambigious like cat woman.

Moral alignment often in question.

She was taught to kill instead of speaking.

Possibly, a fav of mine.
But then I like most everyone in the whole "Bat-family"

Halloween is coming up, I think you should go for it.
