I used to agree that Batman would be better if it was more ridiculous like the 1960s series. That remains my favorite Batman because I grew up on the reruns. That being said, while I was never a fan of the "dark" comic series, the dark movies are great. Try watching The Dark Knight and then a 1960s Batman episode (either on YouTube or TV. Some new network airs reruns). The one has a deep point and the other is...well...you know.

That being said, I'd love to see a remake of the 1960s movie. That one was a let down. Plus, doing a retro Batman movie just one time would be a huge hit.

I love how the SWAT guy is just beating on some guy, rather than doing it the easy way by gunning down all the bankrobbers.  Grin

"Some guy" actually looks like he's a member of the military. That's...interesting.

They really should have let Adam West have a cameo in one of these. He could have been a bank teller or something in TDK.

Patrick Leahy stole the perfect Adam West cameo in TDK.

Yeah, I had that in mind, too. He'd be a far better fit for the "You look familiar." statement.

The Riddler should have been in this one.

I'm so glad the author of the above article pointed out something I have been saying about TDK: the narrative seemed favorable towards Bush regarding terrorism ("He's the hero Gotham deserves but not the one it needs right now.").

Then there is the whole debate over monitoring people in the city between Batman and Lucius Fox which is sort of nuanced and basically presents both sides of the argument.

Well, yeah but Batman is clearly Pro Bush in that argument. Wink

Oh, you guys are taking Rush seriously? That's cute. He's laughing his ass off at everyone that takes his accusation seriously. I mean, some idiots would probably believe Bane was created recently to bash Romney but Rush very likely knows better and is doing what he does best: getting attention.

I am currently on post-dental surgery painkillers so I apologize if this post is bad.

Ok, what explains the other 22,470 posts?

I figured the shooting happened outside of the theater as people stood in line. Just found out it happened in the theater. And the gunman tossed tear gas so people thought it was part of the 3D effects. Now this guy is going to think he's just like a villain from the movies. There are some truly disturbing people on this planet.

Did anyone else think that the agent in the very first scene looked like a younger, slightly more attractive Rick Santorum?

It didn't stand out to me so I guess not. Tongue
