Okay… The first Liberty Belle's powers were derived from a mystical connection to the Liberty Bell. When a friend of hers rang it for her, she temporarily got superpowers. Johnny Quick, at least in the comics I read as a kid, used one math formula to give himself Flash-type powers (he was a little slower than Jay

I thought Max Mercury was the zen master of speed.

If this starts a pun thread, I will place a pox on both your houses.

Sometimes "dated" just seems to mean the person doesn't like something and doesn't have a good reason for it. People who complain about stuff being dated will turn around and love something else that is just as dated because it's still funny or whatever.

I listened to a bunch of them on YouTube. I would rather hear those jingles than anything by Taylor Swift.

All their commercials are terrible.

Wow. The Weight is basically the only song by the Band that I like. And I used to love Dock of the Bay before I heard it too many times. We better not touch each other. The resulting matter/anti-matter explosion could wipe out Cleveland.

Either way, he still killed a bunch of people to protect one guy. The killings matter more than when he made the Batman rules. "You can't prosecute me. It wasn't against my personal code yet." wouldn't work in court.

I found that rationalization really dumb and out of character. I already hated pretty much everything about the movie except for Gary Oldman and that line pissed me off so much that I almost didn't watch the sequel.

One unforseen advantage of not listening to sports radio or following professional sports at all is that I had never heard this jingle before . The version with the kid with the black and pink Dean ML doesn't seem so bad, but I heard an alternate version done by a CGI dog and cat that is pretty painful. And the one

Affleck was great in The Town. But it was a little weird that he cast himself as that role in Argo. Most of the other actors looked like the people they were playing. Affleck is way more handsome than the dude he was supposed to be. He should have cast Dennis Franz or somebody more like that if he was going

I'm very thankful for that. One McNutt is enough. One VanDerWerff is one too many.

Only to Batman fans.

It's good thing nobody else was around when I read that interview. All the muttered curse words would have led to an awkward conversation.

They used paddles on him.

BBC America showed Shaun of the Dead later the same night, and watching that again was a lot more fun.

Some things just suck. Tiptoe Through the Tulips. Tiny Bubbles, the Big Bang Theory, the last season of Burn Notice, herpes, Shake It Off…

That defense is so stupid. He's still the same guy even if he didn't have a costume yet.

The problem with catchy is that it's highly subjective. I have seen people describe songs that would make me confess to war crimes just to get the music to stop as "catchy" and/or "ear worms."

Unfortunately, some comic book nerds do. Batman fans, especially, are really good at living in denial of anything that challenges the claims they make about their favorite character.
