Willow ,'Beneath You'
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.
Oh--something that crisply compares the difference between Gotham and Earth 616--The Avengers starts with Tony casually plugging in remorse-free perfect energy, and this movie hinges on the fact that they've been hiding this potential from Gotham from years, because the moment anyone sees it, they're going to use it to blow the entire city up and leave it a nuclear wasteland.
Because that's how Gotham rolls.
Maybe he pops up at the end of Magic Mike to be all, "I'd like to talk to you about the Strippers Initiative."
That would have made the movie 769 times better. Possibly more.
NINE ELEVEN HOURS TO GO. Exactly.
t edit What the hell? I can't count when I wake up, apparently. (It's no longer 11 hours as of this edit, but I felt like I should edit the original for posterity and to own up to the fact that math is harrrrrrrd.)
JGL fucking tore shit up. If you loved him before, your loins are still ready. He was great, just great. Convincing, solid, emotional appropriately, everything I think he needed to be. And he got a crypoint from me...
Predictably, I love this.
JGL was AMAZING. I totally forgot he was in the dang thing and was pleasantly surprised when I saw him again.
ita!, I thought of the Avengers arc-reactor parallel, as well. That, and the "we must keep this kick-ass technology out of the hands of people who would not be responsible like our not-entirely-sane hero is" thing. Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne really are pretty much the same character, but boy do they do it differently in these franchises.
And, in general, what ITA w/ ita!.

I didn't read the full EW review, but the summary singled his character out as the best in the movie. Looking forward to seeing him!

Really? Intriguing.
I feel like, in a lot of ways, Batman Begins is about Jim Gordon as much as Bruce Wayne.* And The Dark Knight is about Harvey Dent almost more than Batman. So I'm wondering if there's a similar character in Dark Knight Verbs.
*(The end of Batman Begins, between Jim Gordon and Batman, is one of my favorite film endings ever. "I never said thank you." "And you'll never have to.")
Where did Dark Knight Verbs come from? I'm missing the joke somewhere.
Really? Intriguing.
The actual line is "the character who lingers longest in memory."

Ooh, interesting! Maybe it's him.

Yes. I love their relationship. It reminds me of the scene at the end of No Man's Land where he takes off his mask for him, but Gordon refuses to look. There's such an interesting trust between them.
