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.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
JGL was AMAZING. I totally forgot he was in the dang thing and was pleasantly surprised when I saw him again.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.")

Because books.
Where did Dark Knight Verbs come from? I'm missing the joke somewhere.

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.

Oh my god, Gordon is so ANGRY at Batman in NML, and that scene is so amazing. (Also, there's no way -- in the comics -- that Gordon doesn't know Bruce Wayne is Batman. At least pre-new 52. I don't know what in the hell goes on now.)

I think ita said it once, because "Dark Knight Rises" is easy to confuse with "Dark Knight Returns" (the graphic novel).
