Aren't comic books at heart really meant for children?

Someone hasn't stepped into a comic book store in many, many years. Possibly ever.

Teppy, will you marry me?

If it means Blue Mountain coffee every morning, hell yes I will!

But you have to enjoy the reaction if you jump out at somebody and yell "boo" or else why do it? It doesn't really inspire true fear, just startlement.

Was the character depicted as scared? Honestly, if a man dressed as a bat and promising (authoritatively, judging by physical language) violence jumped out at me, I'd be scared.

For you, I will do this.

One of the other things I very much liked about this movie is the making explicit of Bruce's first really murky decision -- what to do about Ra's al Ghul. His "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you," was fantastic. I really hope they explore the further impact of that decision in the upcoming movies.

Askye--But, given the post-parole scene, and the couple of Bruce as playboy scenes, it makes sense that she would see more of the Bruce she knows in Batman than in the public performance of Bruce. I think we're also given to understand that at the party.

Me, I'd be more scared if I never saw my assailent. When I woke up, I'd know that something really frightening had taken me out, and all my gun-toting homies, without me ever getting a look or hearing a sound, except for the rustling of something that sounded just a bit like wings.

I like the idea of the criminals not being sure if batman is a man or a creature, at least at first. Speaking to a criminal, not the best way to maintain that mystique. I don't necessarily think this movie wanted to maintain that idea, but it still seems that silent action would be both safer and equally as scary - a better tactical judgment, if nothing else.

I'd do it the way he did it, because I'd get a thrill out of the startled reaction, and my ability to not get shot despite my giving an opening. But I'm not a master strategist in life; in a video game, I'd use a sniper there every time.

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

Oh good, it's not just me.

I have nothing to really add to the discussion, because Teppy and ita have been saying everything I would want to say.

My mom will be SO pleased that I've landed a spouse, much less one with a good job AND one who can protect me from all harm.

Marvy.

But, given the post-parole scene, and the couple of [spoiler omitted], it makes sense that she would

Also, if their ages are to make any sense, she apparently graduated law school around age 15. So she's smart enough to make that leap.
