no, Classist. Boss Villains are upscale.

In point of fact, BATMAN FOREVER is actually the most faithful film version of the comics. (Not the BEST; just the one closest to comics canon)

He actually said (in an interview conducted by Clive Barker, of all people!) that he'd never read a Batman comic before being hired for the project; after reading DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and THE KILLING JOKE, he felt that they were far enough away from both the TV show and each other that he basically had the freedom to

Well, the REAL problem with the New Killy Batman is that he only ever kills henchmen… but somehow feels it would be wrong to "cross a line" and kill any of the members of his Rogue's Gallery.
I mean, there's a long history of Heroes Who Kill… but they don't have a recurring roster of highly merchandised villians, do

Given that he once referred to The Punisher as "Batman without the lies"… definitely the latter two.
Having said that… at least Miller respected that "Batman Does Not Kill" is such an essential part of the character that he built the entire plot around it (not only does the story repeatedly claim "He Hasn't Killed

i honest to god don't know if you're a parody poster, and any denials on your part will just seem like part of the act.
In short: the Internet just doesn't work anymore; once a troll becomes president EVERYTHING seems like trolling.

He had the eye of a mad angel.

I don't know who ANY of these women are!
And I CERTAINLY don't know who Kendra Jade is, either!

It's good to see someone stand up for monogamy!

Stan Lee once yelled "EXCELSIOR, MOTHERFUCKER!" at my dad.
oh Stan, you've GOT to stop sending these kinds of mixed signals; that's how you drove Kirby away.

It's true;there's no Screaming Mad George of CGI.

The reason their aliens basically look human is because Rodenberry had a policy that the make-up should never get in the way of the actor's performance.
I'm paraphrasing, but he said something like "no amount of make-up will convince audiences that Leonard Nimoy is really an alien… but if we let him do his job, he'll

FUN FACT: Bowie was Tim Burton's first choice for The Joker, but the producers were set on getting Nicholson at any cost (although they reportedly had signed Tim Curry as a potential back-up if they couldn't close the deal)

When he was editing it, Denny O'Neil always allowed the artists a lot of freedom to tailor the look of the strip to their own tastes and styles. (His attitude was that Batman had a closet full of Bat-Costumes and a garage full of Batmobiles, and he could pick or choose depending on his mood)

DARK KNIGHT RISES is a film about how much Batman hates being Batman and wants to quit being Batman and is only coming back and being Batman again under duress, and even then is setting up an escape plan so he can get out once and for all and then some OTHER guy can be Batman.
But tell us how you REALLY feel about

It was a hugely popular commercial hit that made the then avant-garde concepts of "camp" and "pop" easily understandable to a mainstream audience.

Most of the really interesting older stories (like the Red Hood story- or the origins of MOST of the major characters from the formative decades of the strip) were written by Bill Finger, the man that DC's lawyers now concede is "officially" the co-creator of Batman.
Once you look at those stories knowing his

To be fair, it would probably have been something along the lines of "Hey, could you drop in Tuesday for a one-line cameo?" and he was "Zack, it's my regularily scheduled dental check-up. THEY asked me to come in MONTHS ago, like PROFESSIONALS!"

If you don't know THE ABOMINABLE DOCTOR PHIBES, that's your loss, buddy. It's SE7EN if it were made by the people behind the AVENGERS tv show.
