The epiphany moment? Took my breath away.
Mine, too. It's my desktop picture at work. Very nice to come in to in the morning.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

Art Crawl!!!
The epiphany moment, the stairwell and standing on the Tribune Tower are scenes that I've imagined as a two page spread in a comic. Can't you see it?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Not having seen Batman yet (I'm hoping to this weekend!), I just have to comment on getting my tape of Who Am I This Time? delivered last night.
Damn, does Christopher Walken look young! And, damn, does Susan Sarandon (as Stella in "Streetcar") look sexy! I forgot about the scene where she rips his muscle t-shirt down the middle and then they almost kiss...hotter than hot.

Hmmmm. I put it up over a week ago, and I don't remember off hand where I grabbed it. Let me check some likely sources.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
It's probably a good sign for the movie that I'm having a hard time separating Movie!Bruce from Comics!Bruce, because the train of thought above was about to go into "and that's why Event X in Book Y has him so fucked up." before I realized that they're unmixy things.
Heh. Because Movie!Bruce (this movie) would never, not for a second, be able to resist taking home a boy whose parents died in front of him; and he wouldn't be able to stop himself from "firing" that boy when sidekicking got too dangerous (yeah, yeah, I know, retcon); and even though he had just fired his first sidekick b/c of danger, he *still* wouldn't be able to resist taking in yet another orphaned, damaged, angry boy.
Also, I love how they captured both the essential loneliness of Batman and how certain aspects of Bruce's personality were effectively arrested at age 8. His love for Rachel was a very non-sexual thing, a child's devotion to a playmate. I love my brooding repressed scary Bat god.
Seriously, the movie really *nailed* how utterly lonely Batman is, and has to be. (And I'm not sure why we're whitefonting that any more, but hey.)
