Because while BLACK KISS was...interesting, it sure as hell wasn't good.

Interesting is a way to describe it, I suppose. I really should check and see if the 12 issues are worth anything, 'cos I own them and feel no real need to keep them.

Has no one here seen American Psycho? Buff beyond belief and just a hint of regret that he's gone too far (after, say, killing friends and prostitutes). Perfect for Bats in my book.

I SO need that movie on DVD. It was a great black comedy, and again, nekkid Christian Bale.

Batman needs to be way more of a repressed seether than that for my money. YBWV.

I realize that I'm one of about 5 people that liked Reign of Fire, but he did repressed seething in that pretty well.

(Reign of Fire is a movie that works better once you realize it's not supposed to be a big "Oooh! Special Effects Extravaganza!" movie, but a kinda low-key British buddy movie.)

I'm another one. *raises hand and waves*

I also liked it, but I prefer to view it as a post-colonial discussion.

I liked Reign of Fire too. Here be dragons!

I liked it too. I didn't want to marry it, but I liked it fine.

Christian Bale is a very good actor. I look forward to seeing him as Bats.

I'm glad to hear others of you liked it. Almost everyone Pete & I know thought we had gone insane when we said we liked RoF.

There were parts of RoF I liked, but overall I was extremely disappointed with it. My favorite part is probably when they do the play for the kids.

Speaking of Kilmer, did anyone else get a Kilmer-as-Mad Martigan-vibe off of the Groosalug before Cordy cleaned him up? (In appearance, not behavior.)

I liked Reign of Fire too, though I had to turn off certain logic-bearing parts of my brain when they were giving "scientific explanations" for the dragons.

Bah. He looks generic. George Clooney and Val Kilmer are WAY hotter.

Steph is dead to me now.

The role I've seen him in most often, it called for it. The CB in my head is an awkward young gay boy with horrible outfits and a dopey grin.

You forgot the mullet hair. (shudder) But I think the awkwardness was pretty well counterpointed by his portrayal of 1980s-era Arthur in that same film.

Isn't that what he usually plays?

He's played gay exactly once in his film work. Possibly twice if there was an unexpected revelation about his character in Newsies after the point where my obsessive fandom met the limits of its endurance.

He looks very Jack Davenport in that picture.
