I'm just shocked. Simply Shocked!

Escape is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I'll watch it if I happen to stumble across it on cable.

It was actually introduced to me, by my father, as something of a "spoof", and not an actual full fledged member of the series. It is funnier than the other films (right up until the happy ending!) but not "spoof wacky", if you know what I mean... Either he didn't know, or he didn't tell me, but I was shocked a few years later to find that there was a #4 and a #5. I thought 1 and 2 were it with a "what if?/non-continuity" Escape movie. For Fun.

Man, I was so excited for the Burton film. I'm still mad about that. :(

Regarding the Batman title; I'm with Boost on this one. Rise has been worn out. I'm surprised they weren't more inventive. Truth be told, I have that same feeling about Catwoman & Bane. But we'll see. Nolan may surprise me and pull one out of a hat.

Still hoping for the title to change.
