Nah, I'd be more interested in the Batman villains, they're usually more interesting than Batman.

I've seen this toy in person, it is super bad ass. That being said, I wouldn't pay over $250 for it.

What about this masterpiece?

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

yeah, I can dig that. I just mean in general. million dollar comic books, 1000 dollar convention tickets, 1000 dollar "hero" dolls... i dunno. maybe my imagination is fallacious. maybe  they dont all run around making it rain in comic book stores. im pretty sure they do though and id like to know how.

Wat? The first one was so bad that the only reason I saw the second were the comments on how Heath Ledger made such a great Joker (he really did), didn't even both to watch trailers for the most recent one because of Bale (was it even worth watching?).

Because you personally don't like Christian Bale, you missed out on the best Batman movies of all time. Too bad for you.

Well it was quite a few years ago so you probably missed it being like what 2 or 3?

But he was in a movie called daredevil, it wasn't a blockbuster but he can do batman, he won't be christian bale, but he can do it.

Christian Bales advice to ben affleck

""The only thing I said to him is just make sure he can take a piss without anyone having to help him. Because it's a little bit humiliating, at least what I went through, when you have to have someone help you out of the costume. That was my main piece of advice for him.""

I think the Chris B Batman series are just aight... they're not good/ not bad...  I don't think he's a very believable batman....

He's also way too skinny to be batman..

Could he have done better, maybe, did his voice get more annoying as the trilogy progressed, definitely.

Regardless I think he did a great job playing a billionaire vigilante. And did find most of his acting spot on for the Batman role.

Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox was perfect.

The Dark Night Rises will forever be the best Batman ever in my mind. Batman Begins is a close second.

Also, Katie Holmes not being in the other movies almost ruined it for me. Stupid Tom Cruise.

I don't think Morgan Freeman was a good choice for Lucius Fox..

Morgan Freeman is more famous than Lucius Fox..

in the MOVIE,  the scenario was more along the lines of    Lucius Fox became Morgan Freeman, rather than Morgan Freeman became Lucius Fox..

This is with respect to the story, the movie itself is fine.. but it did break the original character..


SAME with batman...   BATMAN is supposed to be the PEAK of human conditioning and physiology...  Christian bale looks more like a junky who has successfully completely rehab...  good for him... works ok for people who don't really care about details...

But... again... Very UNLIKE the specifications set forth by the comic book.

It's an original trilogy, and a
break from the prior Batman series. I don't know what other character/actor your trying to compare him to, but I really felt Morgan came through as Lucius Fox.

I do agree, it's hard sometimes to see such a famous actor in a new role. I found him very entertaining.
