    "space-station-cover paperback charm" I love it.

    "Duck Blind"  There's even a scene that corresponds to the hammy "I can't see!" crystal-blue pupils bit, although it's actually played for laughs, rather than melodrama.

    Notice how Conroy uses his Batman voice out of costume when he talks to Talia.  I feel like that says something about their relationship.

    I'm  curious to say how the films wrap the plot of the Hobbit, because the end—no spoilers—is actually pretty anti-climactic if you think about it.

    I dig Nightwing's theme, too.  Enough to take the mullet in stride.  At least Dick has the good sense to wear it in a pony-tail.

    I think the way M dies is the ultimate anti-climax and it's not great for female roles in the series. We're supposed to be all tense finding out how Bond's gonna stop Bardem, then he does stop him, but M just dies of her wounds anyway.  Apparently, her mortal blow had already happened, in passing, some 15 minutes

    Amen, Britta Bot.

    Virtually all the re-vamps look less like actual people, which is what bothers me.  The proportions are off.  All of the women (Batgirl, Harley, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, etc.) become more petite and slender to the point of anatomical impossibility.  Catwoman in particular went from a tall, curvacious babe to a kind of
