Gotham’s saviour
Here's the problem with The Dark Knight: it was just a bit unrealistic. Here's how things would actually have gone down:
In your heart, you know it to be true.
Why do you think he has to go away? And why is he so small? I rest my case.
I loves me the T-Rex, but sometimes he's just plain wrong.
Those dogs are angry! Robin must have done something here!
Regular readers will know that I, entirely correctly, consider Superman to be fundamentally superior to Batman. But the distinction is minor. It's like Galaxy vs. Dairy Milk1, Ninjas vs. Pirates2 or Diane vs. Rebecca3. I would be happy with either one4. Film-wise, however, Batman has the edge. I don't think there's any live-action Superman that's properly captured the character, but Batman has come close: a 2003 fan-film produced possibly the greatest live-action Batman ever.
Today we have this. Batman: Defenders of the Night. It is brilliant. It tells the story of Batman and Robin's first caper. The Riddler is in it. And Villain With A Stick. And some Random Dudes. All of whom look like they're having great fun, and it makes for a very entertaining few minutes. The blog has an appropriate commentary. Found via BoingBoing.
The sequel is possibly superior. Robin steals a dog - you've never seen anything like it.

Yes, thank you, I actually do have enough to do. For the Flickr Monkey group.
Batman Delivers His Verdict
Here's what Batman thought:
I'd have to say I agree. May have to see that one again 
Batman Begins
Batman observes his film. He suspects it won't be as good as the book. On the other hand, Batman thinks every film sucks. Batman is secretly boring like that.
Hello!
Hey, thanks for coming! I'm Andrew, and this is where my headthinks come to breed. They often meander around humanism and photography, but they're flighty and you can't trust them, so anything is possible.
Do feel free to email me - I get lonely:
Your hair looks swish, by the way - have you done something new?
