  5. Batman: Gotham Knight

    in Comic Book Adaptations

    Posted

    This isn't really a New Frontier VS. Gotham Knight competition, so that should settle it.

    I loved the animation of Deadshot, but I felt it was too short. Since producers touted him as the "anti-Bruce Wayne", they could have done a lot to exploit that side of his character. His pleading to Batman at the end of the one-shot felt uncharacteristic. "Crossfire" had that "Oooh, it's BATMAN" moment, which was great, but the rest was a little wordy. The rest is not memorable for me to review.

    I agree with Malpractice. "Working Through Pain" was the most engaging and poetic/reflective episode of Bruce. It said a lot without saying too much. The image of Batman holding all those guns in the sewer is what stayed with me from this DVD.

    As for the extras, the commentary was standard, and the Bob Kane story was great.

    What I was disappointed with was the 4 episodes they chose from BTAS. The only one I would have kept was Heart of Ice. "I am the Night" does flow along the lines of Bale's existentialistic outlook in Begans and The Dark Knight, but it doesn't change how much I absolutely despise that episode for its (nod to Mike and James) "Hot Topic" reasons. Since they chose "Over the Edge", which included characters that weren't yet introduced in Nolan-verse, they could have gone with much better episodes such as "Almost Got 'Em", "Perchance to Dream", or "Read my Lips". Or include that "lost episode" of BTAS. Or include a NEW commentary. It would have given fans a treat.

  18. A game for real men

    Hmm. I don't mean to exclude the Earth-2.net ladies (and DW can have the final say on this one since it's his game), but the rules of the game are that you'd have to willingly have sex with these women. So unless you're a lesbian or bi, Selina, I'm not sure your picks count.

    Guess I didn't read the rules carefully. Maybe if the rules said "Choose a woman who's over the hill who's so hot, you don't have to be a guy to think so."

    If not, bummer. Because I had good ones :angel:

    Hey! I watched Captain Planet! Yeah, it was kind of lame, but I watched it. I'm remembering a square turquoise head that goes "with all your powers combined, I am captain planet!"

    BTAS wasn't around yet in 1989. And after BTAS was over, I was so depressed I tried to get myself to watch Gargoyles...

    Stop proving your slide into aged decrepitude by citing examples from your childhood that correspond to my college years.

    It's ok. My sister tells me SHE feels old because the Jonas Brothers are younger than she is.

    Blossom's best friend, and the creator of the shows Daughter had a friend called seven, so he just called the girl Six in her memory.

    Six lived with her single mother, who dated Blossoms dad for an episode, Six talked way too fast......and I've remembered way to much about that show. I didn't even need wikipedia for this info.

    Where are my points? :angel:

    Wow.

    ::hangs over bag of gold coins::

    You told me things I didn't even know.
