momebieI just saw the most horrifying Teen Wolf gif. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, TUMBLR? WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS TO ME? Anyway, this is not about how Tumblr is apparently trying to smoke me out via Teen Wolf gifs or something, this is about BATMAN. I know, you're all surprised.
On Sunday we recorded our last Batcon episode of the podcast. Those should start going up at the end of this week. And I think I mentioned before that I wanted to write a post for the Big Girl Blog on Five Batman Movies I Want To See, so I'm here to do a little science by way of LJ Poll. What? LJ Polls are totally scientific.
[Poll #1852978]
This is unlocked, so share it if you like. FOR SCIENCE! In conclusion, I would like Kate Kane to be my girlfriend. The end.

Date: 2012-07-10 02:27 pm (UTC)i like bruce SOMETIMES. i seem to recall liking him in the cartoon, at least? and i generally like his public persona, although his angsty sitting at home with alfred persona makes me want to bitchslap him sometimes.

Date: 2012-07-10 02:46 pm (UTC)I think you make a good point. And I agree with Em, that I actually kind of like Bruce in the Nolan movies, but that's probably because he's not screwing up the lives of impressionable young children in them.

Date: 2012-07-10 03:04 pm (UTC)i might steal it from you!
and just to consolidate! i like bruce in the dark knight too. it's interesting to watch him struggle with wanting a normal life with rachel. i'm not a bat!expert (obvs) but i don't think that really gets addressed enough, that batman took over bruce's life and now he doesn't know how to get away from it. it's not really something you can do by half, you know? and i know that feel. i was actually sad for him when his hopes of harvey making batman unnecessary were killed :/

Date: 2012-07-10 09:12 pm (UTC)I also wasn't allowed to see the first two Batman movies as a kid (I was pretty much banned from seeing Returns when I was 9, but I think it would've freaked me out, anyway), so I didn't see Batman and Returns until my 20s.

Date: 2012-07-10 11:38 pm (UTC)And then I was head over heels for Batman Forever. I had the soundtrack and the VHS and everything. And then came Batman & Robin, which put me off Batman until Batman Begins. George Clooney might have been the worst Batman ever.

Date: 2012-07-10 02:30 pm (UTC)As for Bruce... I think he can be shitty, but it always depends which version of Bruce we're looking at. I like the Bruce we see in the Nolan films. He's complicated and feels like a real person and not like such a colossal dick who adopts orphans to turn them into mirror images of himself. (I also like Bruce through Dick's eyes because while Dick as an adult can see that Bruce is flawed, he'd do anything for him because he loves him and he gets what he's trying to do, despite how badly he sometimes does it.)

Date: 2012-07-10 02:49 pm (UTC)I agree about Bruce in the Nolan-verse. Probably because he's not screwing up the lives of impressionable young children. And Dick's love and reverence for Bruce is honestly one of the reasons I like Dick so much. As far as experiments in seat of your pants child rearing go, Dick Grayson turned out okay.

Date: 2012-07-10 08:35 pm (UTC)I went looking for scans and found this, which is awesome. She basically bullied her way into being Robin, and she pretty much represents the only softness Bruce gets to show in The Dark Knight, so. Also, you know. First girl Robin. Gotta respect that.

YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
Community DOES count as a Batman movie. As a matter of fact Community is THE QUINTESSENCE OF THE BATMAN MOVIE.
Although it's a TV show, but shush.
