The Dark Knight

Superman is a bitch............

A friend of mine put it best...

Superman is the result of some whiny eight-year-old sitting down with a pencil and paper and declaring "I'm gonna make the strongest, fastest, most powerfulest super hero EVER! And the only thing that can kill him doesn't grow on Earth.... And and and! And it doesn't kill him, it just makes him weak."

When he started out, he was't that strong. He could lift a car, but not much else. He couldn't fly, but he could leap tall buildings. He had no special vision or hearing, etc. Over the decades, he was embued with many powers. I find his near-omnipotence, and his predictability, to be boring.

The only time I like Superman is when he really gets pissed off...
and that's all too rare...
 
He's still a boy scout. Batman is willing to break a guy's legs to get answers, as he did in the movie.

DC needs an "Ultimate Superman", a la Marvel, that would be gritty and raw... like Hancock.

The Ultimate editions are great. I've been getting into Ultimate X-Men and The Ultimates.
But with DC, I could only see it working with Batman. Everyone else got too watered down with morality and overshadowed by Superman over the years. Besides, I can only tolerate so many ____man character names. Marvel does it, too, but they atleast change it up here and there. Names like Hawkeye, Proteus (super douchebag, but still a cool name), Syndicate, Shadowcat, Wasp... You get the idea.

Exactly. And to make it worse that kid didn't even realize that kryptonis actually a real element that naturally occurs on Earth in small amounts. At least Batman has a weakness- he's human. Plus he's a baller. And you can't top a baller that will crack skulls on a hunch. And Superbitch doesn't have that car, or plane, or boat, or bike. He can't even seal the deal with Lois Lane.

But you know who's really badass , John McClane. No comic book can hold all that badassery.
 
Krypton, yes. Kryptonite, no. It's a fictional substance. But yeh, I noticed the same thing.


John McClane is such a badass that no actor but Bruce Willis could portray him properly. He's who Jack Bauer wishes he was.
 
I went to the midnight showing of Dark Knight. I thought the movie was amazing! i don't care what you'll say! Ledger was amazingly scary! he creeped me out and he really got into character. Bale was good, but this movie was about the joker! I loved the way he did his business. Ledger's joker was a true villian. He didnt care about money, just the crime! :biggrin1: If you are a batman fan, you know who becomes twoface before it is revealed, and know a couple of other things as well. I definately recommend seeing this film! I wanna see it again! and all of my friends whom saw it agreed with all that i said.

And, and, and make him Caucasian. :eek:

Hey, he doesn't need all that: the car...the plane...or boat when he can fly. I heard that the Fortress of Solitude can be rented out to ultra premium gay men for Fire Island like circuit parties. He has satellite cable. And TIVO. Playstation3. XBOX360. ZUNE and IPOD players. A private movie cineplex movies with TEMPERPEDIC movie theater seating.
The facilities. Heated flooring. Heated toilet seats. A Swarovski crystal encrusted bidet. Heated towel racks. Jacuzzi. Heated pool. And TEMPERPEDIC matresses in the bedrooms. WIth complimentary toiletries from Bath and Body Works.

Oobie.:wink::biggrin1:

its the Joker not Batman.

he's a big draw, yes. but even if he was alive, it would've been the same. it's well know that the marketing was all geared towards Heath's performance and the appearance of the Joker. Heath dying just gave it a boost.

Yup. Joker is THE Batman villain. He's his Venom, his Lex Luthor, his Sabertooth and his Abomination. No matter who was playing him, they would've had the Joker on most of the movie posters.
 
I liked that that they made TWOFACE more appealing by showing him being vulnerable and how he became TWOFACE after suffering the way that he did. TWO FACE could've been anyone of us.

(I wrote this post this way in case you peeps haven't seen the movie and are planning to see it. ):smile:
 
I want to see this movie so bad but the theatres near my place are all sold out for the weekend

well it is debatable if Heath's death is pushing ticket sales...I mean yes some people want to see that because of his death but the impact of his death has on ticket sales is debatable because there are many many many many hardcore fans that loves batman begins.

this movie was being hyped since the first time it began production. it's funny when Heath was first casted people hated the fact that he got that part and start making comments like saying the movie is goignt o be named "broke back batman".

They were marketing the joker over batman before Heaths death infact that poster and others were made and being sold before he died. I remember that poster was selling for a lot of money before he died
