@DRaGZ: BatTron! His washboard abs are also his motherboard!

The gimmicky incorporation of TW into Batman and Little Al(fred) makes me long for the abandoned Young Han Solo cameo in "Revenge of the Sith."

I see that Ambassador Spock yet again dropped his Red Matter. Illogical putz!

@Wellmont: Sadly, that's the only thing I saw too- just a few lines of yayo... invading my brain with their tendrils...

Those claw-marks across his chest... there must be a large lizard lurking in the sewers of New York...

@themeganels: Oh, I agree- female casting was not strong in this film series— he'd be well-served to hire someone like Rebecca Hall, who was great in "The Prestige" but overall, I will gladly trust that Nolan is going to blow us away.

In Nolan I Trust.

Star Wars had a large influence on a lot of us, but I think being outside the cloud of hype now for a few years I can see how its importance was greatly exaggerated by its creator and his group of marketing geniuses.

I'm sure Ashoka had a bad dream and that's why she turned to the Dark Side.

Anyone else notice the initials at the end of the letter, denoting the secretary who typed Gene's letter? "dcf"- Dorothy C. Fontana!

You know, here we are, on our way to solve the riddle of Farpoint Station, and now we have to deal with this whole "humans are a dangerous, savage child-race." Before I deal with this nonsense, I need a cup of Earl Grey... hot.

My idea: Re-introduce Sybok and have him lead a reactionary group of Vulcans on a quest to do away with logic ("Logic destroyed our planet") and force Spock to stop his revolution. It would even allow for Nimoy to be a factor, telling his younger self that, after mind-melding with Sybok in his timeline, he knows

I would have loved to see this thing happen- if only to watch the fanboy community implode a la Episode I. But to be serious as well, Tim Burton is about as well-suited for Superman as Charlie Sheen is at holding onto your cocaine stash.

@tetracycloide: I refer you to Buchwald v. Paramount and the movie "Coming To America."

Christ-mythology is played out. Superman, Starbuck.... who's next? Spock in J.J. Trek? Enough of this lazy archetyping. Just tell us stories that make us think and entertain along the way. I refer all writers (and wannabes) to Mr. Christopher Nolan for further instructions.

@tetracycloide: I didn't say "ideas" I said "work." Toodles!

Lindelof is basically wishing to commit a violation of another writer's copyrightable work.

I take it the Great Recession has forced the Predators to lay off some of their own hunting parties. It's a shame, really. I was driving to work this morning and a handful of Predators were on the street corner waiting for someone to pick them up for day-murderer gigs.

This makes any shit Darth Vader, Dr. Doom and any other fictitious bad guy attempted look like child's play.
