Also, as someone who works at EVO but will never compete at EVO (on the account of being a scrubby scrub), the commentator feature is the closest I’ll ever get to feeling like I’m playing at EVO (and going 0-2 in pools)

That was also the time where Elfman was making a lot of easy money recycling his Batman music (See also: Dick Tracy)

I loved that they got in a few cast members (and Hamill!) in the current Flash series.

There was a brief behind the scenes look they recently dropped on YT, and I was overjoyed that Keaton still does the full body turn, even though Im sure the costume designers have given him a more mobile and “don’t suffocate the 70 year old man inside” Batsuit.

I already got my opening night tickets, but as a kid of the 90s, it’s on the back of Michael Keaton of course. I wanna get nuts.

The REAL Hot One was that spicy take by the author! (also rolling eyes at that paragraph at the speed of a Rankin-Bass character)

Hell, even in the Bay Area I lived in small apartments with more weird angles than Branagh’s “Thor”

Not only can you play local vs (as standard), but the modern control scheme is a good way for novices to play and slap buttons without needing to master the game itself. The big World Tour mode is a meaty single-player mode, but of course there’s plenty to entertain with friends in the casa.

I like your take on the musical number!

Like Germain, this was the one I watched the most as a kid. I used to pretend Jell-O was “chilled monkey brains”

Also hang onto those Bison Dollars! Every one of those will be worth FIVE British pounds.

“Don’t try to church it up, son, don’t you mean Joe DIRT?”

The reason I love this above Crusade in terms of the sequels is how wildly different it is (my criticism of Crusade is that it’s really too safe until Connery enters the picture). Different tone, batshit sequences (love the inexplicable Bubsy Berkeley opener), aawesome TOP THIS! set pieces, and an incredible art…

As a wise man/men once rapped: “FUCK THE POLICE, FUCK FUCK FUCK THE POLICE”

Nintendo beat them to the punch

If there's not a button where I can mat Peter's hair down across his forehead like a teen alt rock lead singer from the mid-00s, what are they even doing?

I’m pretty excited for this. I love the falls and splash zone fun of Splash Mountain but the Brer Rabbit stuff in between was dull and that’s from a kid who was actually familiar with the source! (I had the “Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch” book)
