That's what I'm afraid of.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Does it amaze anyone familiar with Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995) managed to do more serious interpretations of Two-Face and Mr. Freeze than the live action films?

Considering that they cast Tommy Lee Jones as Twoface and the Governator as Mister Freeze, then not at all.

And especially considering that both of those characterisations come from the execrable films directed by Mr. Joel 'the Batsuit needs nipples' Schumacher.

Lets just face it: Batman TAS is the shiznit to beat all shiznit.

What, Mr. Joel "I love Colin Farrel" Schumacker?
Mr. Joel "Let me kill the Batman franchise" Schumacker?
Mr. Joel "Val Kilmer IS Bruce Wayne" Schumacker?
Mr. Joel "Where's Robin" Schumacker?
Mr. Joel "More Batman nipples and close-up butt shots" Schumacker?
Mr. Joel "Arnie IS Mr Freeze" Schumacker?

THE Joel Mr. Joel Schumacker who produced one of the biggest craps ever, a monstrosity called "Batman & Robin", which was the worse movie I have ever seen in a movie theater (not counting TV and video/DVD)?

Here's a good thing to do if you want to see how bad Hollywood can get. Get a copy of Batman (1989) and Batman & Robin (1997). Watch the first one, and just when it's over, watch the second one. It's a surreal, strage experience.

I seem to recall Dr Kevorkian using this combination of movies in one of his cases.

I'll pass. I'm waiting for the SE of Batman to come out on DVD. That's mine. I won't touch the rest. Here's hoping they're sold separately and not all together in a box set, a la Back to the Future. That would piss me off.

It's easy to hate Joel Schumacher, but then I remember Tigerland. Great film. He also did Falling Down which was pretty decent in it's own right.

Tigerland is an OK movie, he had a good script and there was no big action sequences, so it was impossible for Joel to screw this one. In a way he almost did, with the jerky, distracting video-filmed sequences.

You guys have a tendency to psychoanalyze everything. So Clark Kent and Superman look alot alike. So what, if Prince Adam looks alot like He-Man. So what? Who gives a rat's ass? They were comic book and cartoon characters, for god's sake. Who cares if Snarf and Orko (not sure if that's the correct spelling) were part of the series'. They never bothered me. But, even if they did, they were each just one character out of many in their respective series'. Trust me, if you quit overanalyzing everything about a T.V. show, and just enjoy it for the entertainment it was meant for, you'll like it a hell of a lot more.

You do realize you are on a Star Wars board, right? Its in our very nature to nitpick and over-analyze.

You are not wholly incapable of overanalyzing yourself, believe me. I mean, you just overanalyzed and nitpicked our overanalyzing and nitpicking

Of course, introspection is highly inaccurate; none of us can definitively say why we do the things we do.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I didn't overanalyze anything. It would be impossible to miss all of this fuss you're raising over such minute details of a show. It's like watching a certain movie for the first time. If you walk in expecting an average so-so movie, and it's about as good as you expected, you walk out relatively satisfied. If you go in expecting a huge blockbuster movie, and it turns out to be just an average movie, you walk out that much more disappointed. Your final opinion of a show or movie depends greatly on the expectations you have before you watch it. That was the point I was trying to get across. You're not going to like something, unless it lives up to your expectations.

But that's the key! Don't psychoanalyze everything and don't expect much. If it exceeds your expectations, it's that much more rewarding. I've noticed that the people who did the voices of the Thundercats also did the voices of extras. Do I care? No!

I think we, the last two or three generations, have activated the "suspension of disbelief switch" on our heads so much, I fear for our sanity...

How many times have I wished I could go intangible or use instant transmission?!

Ugh. Ric is right. Just imagine how screwed up the next generation is going to be with Spongebob as their national Icon.

Disbelief can only be suspended so much until it crosses the line of absurdity.

Example: the way Batman always seems to rise to the occasion on Justice League. As much as I like Batman, I can't get away from this nagging feeling that he would be more than a little dwarfed in light of some fo the interstellar threats the League faces.

I don't know. I've not really seen him do that much unbelievable stuff. He's just a good fighter.

Has anybody here caught the show

Avatar: The Last Airbender? It is sort of childish right now, but it has massive potential.
