but I don't see it as being in the same spirit as Adam West, at all.
You mean it's not homoerotic camp?
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Far be it from me to deem all homoerotic camp as the same.
While it may also be homoerotic and camp, I don't think it is in vaguely similar ways.

And Joel Schumaker quickly regressed.
And Chris Nolan may wind up rescuing the franchise and elevating it to a whole new level.
I have my hopes.

I can't even.

It's so cute how not-jaded you are, despite living in the belly of the beast.

Well, at the very least, it doesn't look campily homoerotic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The thing about WW having to be white -- is Bullseye not a "known" enough character for it to matter? What about the current Ving Rhames Kojak thing? I'm not saying it's likely, but I don't think it's impossible. Of course, a non-white WW still wouldn't lead to Gina Torres getting the part.

Though I can see the potential for Liam Neeson and Christian Bale to bring a sort of master/student homoerotic pain to it.
I would be okay with that.

Why couldn't they have waited to get rid of the campy homoeroticism until a few movies after Christian Bale joined the franchise?

I'm still in a Liam Neeson/Christian Bale place. Because Liam Neeson/Peter Sarsgaard in Kinsey = HOTTTTT.
