Interesting. I actually thought Davis was pretty solid.

"… it feels like his reason for living is to just troll the crap out of Gotham."

Might have been too subtle, but should have gone with "I first."

"Idiocracy was profoundly awful, and anyone who felt that it was biting social commentary needs to go read A Modest Proposal until blood squirts out of their eyes."

Guillermo del Toro's…
Beautiful Dark Twisted Pinocchio

Teddy Roosevelt vs. Martian Conquerors is the only way to go…

What about just having a giant, fan-made, fake-looking poster instead of a statue and then he can be Photoshopped Robocop?

I was saying Boo-ieber…

Yeah… the press release specifically says most watched U.S. program ever. So, kind of not bullshit. Kind of… read beyond the AV Club's headline.

I'm not from Detroit. I'm from Texas, where outsized egos and constant self-aggrandizing are born and treasured.

Well, in fairness, he's just doing something stateside that famous and award-winning actors have been doing overseas for years already: shilling products. Just think of him as looking at the camera and, with intensity, stating, "For relaxing times, think Suntory time." I kind of dug the Stella ad, actually…

Nice write up…
I was on the fence about whether or not I'd try to catch this one when it premiered (and had actually forgot that the premier was tonight… so yeah), but this review has me very interested in catching the first episode.

I hadn't seen this episode (or any, really) of B:TAS in years, so I hadn't picked up on that parallel in the quotes. Nice.

God's sake…
It sounds like this script was ghostwritten by cocaine, Jack Daniels and manic depression…

David Lynch's Batman?

I did the Shaun Livingston. Been in traction for weeks now…

"who does that help?"

Surprised to see The Day After Tomorrow…
…isn't on the "absurd" list. It and 2012 are like all of the other lousy disaster flicks combined to form a Voltron of shitty disaster flicks.

Holy shit, Lovitz might be the most surprisinly gully human being in Hollywood. I'd have never guessed dude capable of landing a punch, much less slamming a motherfucker's face into the bar repeatedly. Even if it was Andy Dick, that's still impressive.

See, I actually kind of like the whole "show up anywhere at any time, practically supernatural" Joker. It fits with the rest of his unpredictable, chaotic vibe. He has no definitive past, no discernible logic to his actions. He's the physical embodiement of a nightmare.
