I was just wondering if you found it evenhanded, or skewed to one side or the other.
I would totally!
I wish it were that fun every time.
But sometimes it's kinda.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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

More sex and violence:
Clive Owen is taking aim at "Shoot-Em-Up" for New Line.
"Sin City" star is in final negotiations for a pay-or-play deal estimated at mid-seven figures, triggering a greenlight for the ultraviolent pic, which will start production in January.
Script by Michael Davis, who will also helm, would feature Owen as a mysterious man protecting a newborn baby from criminals out to kill it. Set pieces include a shootout during a sex scene and another in the midst of a freefall.
I can't lie. Clive's one of my favourite picks for mixing the two themes.

Shootout during sex scene and shootout in freefall?

I've been mulling Batman Begins , as I sit here at work, and I have a question, so if anyone wants to get a little Bats-loves-carrots for me...
What's Ra's Al Ghul's backstory from... well, any source other than the movie? I remember him vaguely from the cartoon (man I miss that show!), but I don't remember much other than he was Bruce's sensai or some such.

Yes.
Or tough guy and baby?
Not no. Did you see The Hire: Chosen?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Shootout during sex scene and shootout in freefall?
A shootout during a sex scene in freefall. That would be something.

Ra's Al Ghul is the one man to ever figure out that Bruce Wayne was Batman. In fact, he introduced himself to the Batman by walking into the Batcave one night to talk to him.
He wants to take over the world to create a utopia, and doesn't care who he has to kill or what he has to destroy in the process, as long as it brings about his utopian vision with him in charge. He wants to save Humanity from itself, and doesn't mind breaking a few eggs to make his omelet.
He also is very long-lived, thanks to the Lazarus pit, a revitalizing bath of strange chemicals and who knows what else, which has a de-aging effect on him.
That's all comic-book canon.

No netflix -- they're all BMW ads here. I'd say half of them rock (Chosen, The Hostage, Ticker, Beat The Devil) but they're all worth the time to watch them, in the end, if you like Clive.

Coffee and toast:
he was Bruce's sensai or some such.
No, he was never Bruce's mentor (I don't think), but he was a very civilized villain, the type you could sit down and play an intriguing game of chess with. So there were always a large number of civilized conversations between he and Batman.
