"The Joker's laugh should be like a musical instrument"

And THAT boys and girls, is why Mark Hamil owns the role.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

You know what's bothering me about the movie now that I've watched it again? How easily Jason was able to rip off Bruce's mask. I mean, that thing is supposed to have various anti-removal gadgets built into it like gas and electroshockers and stuff, yet Jason does it like it's nothing. Also, why's that mask separate from the cape when we see it hanging from the cape several times in the movie?

Well, it was inconsistent in Batman: TAS as well. Sometimes it was attached to the cape, sometimes it was separate.

Jason knew about Bruce's mask's protections. He fought Bruce alot before he finally pulled it off. He must've broken those protections somehow, since he pretty much planned the entire thing by itself. A detail like that shouldn't escape him.

That would be obvious. Batman trained Jason Todd when he found the boy trying to steal the Batmobile's tires.

What does that have to do with anything?

So, I don't get what happened to Jason at the end? Was it cut because of the early internet leak? Or is it supposed to leave you hanging?

It's a direct adaptation of the comic plot. He lives to come back another day.

Yeah, and he's even crazier, right? I saw him in Batman and Robin. He is wearing the old style red hood costume. I liked the biker look better. And his sidekick was crazy, but I'm glad that mask fell off of her face in the end.

Yeah. We just don't know what truly happened to Scarlet at the end, but at least it's implied that she was finally free.

...funny how much crap you can escape just by getting out of Gotham.

They all have a secret fetish for gritty mobster crime roleplay. It's what keeps them all there, and why Joker always has an act.

You know what I'd love to see? An animated movie based on Batwoman: Elegy.

If they got the art style right, hell yeah. Only it'd be very tough. And there are tons of other characters which DC would deem more popular.

...and less lesbian. Cartoon with superhero lesbian? Would love it, but the controversy would be unbearable.

Oh, I know it's pretty much unlikely, which is such a shame because her character & her origin are incredibly well done.

I'd love to see more Flash stories as well.

I seriously don't get it why we don't have a Flash movie already.

...the closest thing we got to it was the Flash episode of Brave and the Bold.... AND THAT WAS CLOSE TO GODLY.

I love how they did Kid Flash on Teen Titans.

But yeah, we need a Flash movie already. I mean, outside of maybe Batman, he has the best Rogues Gallery of any hero.

His Rogues do work better when they're working together than when they're written apart, though. (although Mirror Master and Cold can be pretty darn vicious by themselves).

Well they pretty much always work together now, but back in the day they all had some classic stories in which they worked well alone.

I do remember. I spent about a whole week going through the entire Flash archive, or what I could find of it. I can't wait to see what Johns does with Barry. He didn't have ALOT of personality before, but was always a good character.

Exactly. What I'm also curious about is what he does with the new Impulse.  8D

New Impulse is fine, as well as all of the new characters. But I love Wally where he is now. He's currently got what no other hero has. A temporary happy ending and some downtime. Johns wrote pretty much all there was to write of him, dude's gotta have Barry for a big while now before moving onto anything else.

Oh I absolutely agree. Wally's done his part, and it's definitely time for Barry to shine again.

But I'm just curious as to what's gonna happen with the twins, now that Irei's the only one with the power now.

Easy. Irey is going to shine as the new Impulse, Jai is going to get darker and darker, Zoom's words from Rebirth will echo as Wally expects Jai to betray him, and then some crap happens and Irey goes evil for awhile, thus making that stuff true.

WHAT A TWEEST.

Seriously, it's the only way to make it work.
