You both make good points.

Actually, what I like about Batman Begins (it's been years since I've seen either Burton film, not since I was a kid, so I can't really speak to my SPECIFIC dislikes of those, such as penguins with bazookas and all..) is that it finally is able to explain sussinctly why a modern man would dress up like a giant bat and take to the underworld, fighting crime on the terms of the criminals. The comics explanations work within the logic of comic book motivations, but in Burton's films, he just sort of WAS Batman. It touched on his parents murders' at the hands of Jack Napier, but it turned it into a "You created me," ... "Well, you created ME first," angle, which, though interesting, isn't really true to the character.

That said, I definitely like the look of the Burton films, and Jack Nilchoson made a good Joker. I just think Burton was a bit wrong-headed in his implementation of the 'darker' themes.

And I guess the fact Ra's al Ghul is my favorite Batvillain doesn't hurt.

No, no, Jennifer Lopez is pretty, I just prefer her face, whereas most people seem to like her soely for her butt.

Which I think is kind of creepy. I blame the fact I didn't know who she was on the fact that the image of her is Lo-Res.

They may have the bodies of people, but mentally they are zombies at best and pure evil at worst.

Honestly, for a while I was convinced myself the parents were involved. Now I just feel horrible for what they must have been going through for the past ten years.

Well, in retroespect, the idea seems pretty silly to me.

Even by comic standards.

Moderator fight! I'll get the popcorn!

Yes, I'm making fun of y'all.

And for the record, Freedom of Speech and censorship and all that only apply to the government. This forum is privately owned by Jay. The one at **** is privately owned by boon and/or Neo_the_1... whoever, I've not payed that much attention.

In other words, as annoying as it is, they're not really doign anything wrong. It would be no different than a pastor kicking a Muslim evangelist out of a church or kicking unwanted guests out of your home.

I guess ten years later is better than never... I'm glad they're finally going to try somebody for it, and hopefully it's the guy who actually did it.

I'd never fool someone actually from great britain. I mix and match accents, so like sometimes I'll say one phrase in a more educated sounding accent and sometimes I'll drop into a cockney or whatever they call it. (If I just said something foot-in-mouth worty, forgive me!

I have to agree that despite all this that's been goign on, we are a lot more free to discuss pretty much whatever we want here compared to many other forums. Anyone ever been to TV.com?

I don't think you're exactly helping things any, boon. Some of your posts have been clearly antagonistic.

It's harder for us non-Brits to detect variations in the British accents. In my mind it's just "uneducated" (people like Eliza Doolittle) and "intelligent" (people like Grand Moff Tarkin)...

I know there are others, but I can't really think of them at the moment.

Well, it's been well over 10 years (and that's more than half my life,) since I've seen Batman Returns, but from what I remember, Penguin in that film was a sewer-dwelling mutant freak, whereas in the comic books he is a more refined gentleman-esque criminal.
