Buffistas

I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

will take ita and Tep's word that it took its tone cues from current canon.

More or less; I kept expecting movie!Batman to be a big freaky jackhole, but then I had to keep reminding myself that this is Batman *Begins.* All the things that happened in comics canon that have further fucked him up haven't yet happened in the movieverse.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And aren't they about to have another Crisis, too? So in another year, it'll be "pre-Crises," "in-between Crises," and "post-Crises"

There's always some crisis. DCU = drama queen.

but then again, the DC universe is the one where you have to qualify time periods as "pre-Crisis" or "post-Crisis."

And aren't they about to have another Crisis, too? So in another year, it'll be "pre-Crises," "in-between Crises," and "post-Crises"

I know -- "Well, but that's pre-Crisis Batman....no, no -- I mean pre-FIRST Crisis Batman; pre-RECENT Crisis Batman is just a spooky freak."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Crisis crisis crisis. The word has no meaning anymore.

(Also, I keep misreading Batman as Bateman. I blame Christian Bale.)

Infinite Tartlet!!!!

Please (a) let this be true and (b) let it lead to Batman telling someone to stop calling him pastries.

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

Batman telling someone to stop calling him pastries

Oh, delicious circularity!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

"Why so late, donut?"

"Clark, stop calling me pastries!"

"Awwww, did my gooey apple turnover have a bad night fighting crime?"
