I always thought it was a joke. DC films are indeed typically darker, but the pre-Nolan Batman films almost always had just a wee bit of humor sprinkled throughout. It feels like it fits right in with his character.

Also he jokes later with Catwoman, he turns and she disappears, he goes “so that’s what that feels like.”

I always find “Are you the kind of person I’d get on with enough that I want to place my life on the line, fighting criminals with you?” to be kind of cumbersome.

Let’s see.... We’ve got tons of movies where there’s sound in outer space when the starship explodes, we hear it. There are buku flicks where we see lasers in outer space when the spaceships are blasting each other. When humans are shrunk to 6 inches tall, their voices are still regular-size deep instead of…

I think you’re being a little obtuse to the remark. It is clear to me that he  was referring to the little remote stick he was holding up. I think he was being cutesy in highlighting the ridiculous complexity of the operation of the tank car and how it kind of drives itself once you hit the button on the end of the…

It is anti-federalist to allow one or even several states to dictate terms for other states in markets where the federal government regulates that aspect across state lines.

Double clutch rev match downshift into 1st. The synchros in your gearbox are designed to not let you shift into 1st at speed.

In my old Golf I could double clutch downshift into first and peg it near redline at 6k (28 mph). If I can do that you can do it moving 4 mph

I always start in first. Except when I start in second or third.*

I know a guy that knows what it is. Would you believe it started life as a 1969 Corvette? A one-off custom build.

See my post on Oppo where I elaborate, and I make it clear that I have never nor will I ever use a customer car to get food.

If there’s an 11 minute job with a 96 minute book rate, whomever wrote that rate is a con man.

I elaborated over on Oppo that I don’t and never would get fast food with a customers car because I wouldn’t want to make a mess.

No I don’t go get lunch for the shop or myself in customer’s car, nor has any of my employers or coworkers.

Hehe, I can tell you’ve used a customer car to go grab lunch for the shop. Personally, I almost got t-boned at an intersection by a mechanic driving our truck, before service had been done. I called the shop while driving behind my own truck. I asked if my vehicle was there. Made them go look, said, could you verify…

Man, I would be pretty angry if I discovered something like that in my car.

I mean, sure, but who really wants an Temprasaurus Rex running around? Or would it be a Fiatodon?

Periods, man. Don’t be afraid to use them.

Right after the truck driver farted his chipolte in your fresh off the trailer car.
