    I love that many pictures of Mothman look almost exactly like the hairy monster in the Bugs Bunny cartoons but with wings.

    I sort of wish I could find the person at Warner/DC who told him he couldn't use Batman for this dreck and give her or him a big kiss. I'm sure it wasn't Didio so I feel like I can say that pretty positively.

    Also? Same tailor. From Star City comes... the SUPER-CLOTHIER.

    WHY do you need to know?

    Please note, there is a slightly different POV on this story over at New York Magazine:

    @SkaHimself: I would pay $50 a ticket to see a Zach Galifanakis Robin. I would pay it twice.

    Keira Knightley as Talia would make my unhappiness unhappy.

    RW and Hathaway would both make a great Nocturna. That whole pre-crisis love triangle with the Night Thief would work pretty solidly in the Nolan verse. He could even tease a ward in that storyline if he wanted to.

    Annalee, I'm reading the comments and not seeing any particular preference between hard science and soft... would you say that's accurate?

    I think these are funny, but I'd be interested in knowing how long this person keeps his or her job.

    Hugo Strange seems like one of the most Nolan-friendly villains I can think of. His tie to "Boss" Rupert Thorne also fits with the mob theme running through the first two films.

    @MYMHM: Love everything about it except the Zsasz part.

    @MonsterMash42: Per Arremer's comment above, the original croc was much more human-looking and more... Nolan-y, I guess.

    @BottleKnockers: That's the Sinisterium, of course, where one man defies death to save a twilight-society run by an evil, mad dictator whom no one dares resist... UNTIL NOW.

    @brdaykin001: Ha. Also, "irritating," not "irrigating." Although a Robin who was way into hydroponics or rainwater run-off problems WOULD probably also be annoying enough that people would call to have him murdered.

    @brdaykin001: I also think it's interesting and funny that I put in "nerdhat" html "tags" around my post and io9 apparently accepted them, since they don't/aren't showing up on the comment type.

    Actually, car-thief Jason Todd is himself a retcon of the original Jason, who was the Grayson clone... he was part of a circus family and his parents were murdered by then gangland crime-boss Killer Croc. I believe it is this Jason that appeared in Moore's "... Man who has Everything," not the irrigating car-thief

    I won't say there aren't some funny plot questions that popped up while I was driving home, but I will say that I was absolutely engrossed in those worlds. I was sitting straight up in my seat in the last twenty minutes. The soundtrack is flipping amazing.
