Saw Batman Begins yesterday (the Serentity trailer wasn't attached). Loooooved it. Was channel flipping last night and a trailer for BB came on.
"Uh, honeyyyyy? Wanna go see Batman again tomorrow?"
He seriously thought about it before we decided to wait a week or so and let it settle. Loved it, and I'm not a comics person, at all. So that's from someone entirely free of preconceived ideas about Batman. Loved.
I finally saw it last night and I loved it too! Action! Dramatic musical score! Hot male lead! (Yum). I'm sooo tempted to see it again tonight.
Most movies I can wait to see until it comes out on DVD, but this one might require a second go at the theater. (No Serenity trailer, though - sadness.)
Which Batman title should I read?
askye -- the only one I've liked are of the ongoing Bat-series are the "Detective Comics" penned by David Lapham. (Oh, and the Grant Morrioson JLA:Classified #1-3, but that one was rather bizarre.) Gothman Central is excellent too, but it rarely features the Bat and is more about the Gotham police. Don't know what happens after the ongoing crisis-mash though, except that DCU is about to stop playing loose with continuity.
I was reading Gotham Central before I stopped reading comics, it was interesting and I liked the storylines but hated the artwork. I couldn't keep track of the characters visually so I gave that up.
I cut out everything that dealt with War Games becuase I couldn't afford to buy that many each month.Then I stopped over xmas (same reason) and never got back.
Except at Borders I picked up a few issues of Astonishing X Men and Outsiders -- I need to get my hands on Teen Titans 24 (?) that evidentally has the end to that story line.
If someone knows what happens with Shift and that whole thing with Arsenal, if you could drop me a line @ my profile addy I'd love it.

I had that problem too, askye. I heard it was good, but I flipped through it and really didn't like the art style. I'm not a huge fan of the art style of
100 Bullets
either, really, but I'm too invested in it to quit, although I've been losing interest lately. And by "losing interest" I mean "I can't tell what the fuck is going on." There've been good points, though.
askye, I think that at least 1 War Games tpb is out now.
And of course, many of the Bats titles are dealing with post-War Games stuff.
I had trouble getting the issues of War Games.
I picked up Hush 2 at Borders, not realizing I already had it, maybe I'll take that back and exchange it for War Games.
Heh. I've been very meh on 'Tec.
Ali, if you want to take this to other media, I'll tell you what's been rocking my world lately on my pull list from hell.
Huh. Do you spose the studio is expecting a low opening box office for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory due to the next HP book being released? Seems like a direct conflict for much of the possible Saturday audience...
Well, I'm sure most people will pick up the Potter book, then travel back in time to catch
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
