I would wager theaters still act as advertising. How well do purely DVD movies do in comparison to those with a theater release? Sure, movies in the theater also come with a heap ton of television advertising and the like, but they're also typically better date fare than sitting at home, social...

Even before reading this thread or hearing anything else about any of it, I knew it was wrong. There's no way, whatsoever, that Cher is playing Catwoman. Too old, not attractive enough, and the studios already screwed up with the last Catwoman movie. No way they're going to go at it again with...

It really didn't need to be a blessing, though. It could (and should) still be a curse and allow driders to be used - just turn them into shock troops, the frontline for drow defense. Powerful engines of destruction that no one will really care about if they're killed. Powerful yet still at...

Kind of like what Planescape did with some D&D settings, such as Dragonlance? In any sensible setting, gods are pretty much the biggest deal out there. It's only in a shared setting like Planescape that deities pretty much have to take a bit of a backseat in order for the whole thing to work...

All right, here's the deal for everyone who thinks it's a blessing: I'm going to chop off the lower half of your body, replace it with an oversized spider-body - genitals and all - and then we're going to parade you down the street to see how everyone reacts to it. It's a curse, plain and...

Robocop never had a history that involved throwing criminals off of buildings, kid sidekicks, villains named Kite-Man who were born with the name Charles Brown, murderous clowns, a dog with a mask, Bat-Mite, murdered parents, and so on and so forth... ...all before most of us were born. The...

Something else to keep in mind: Don't think of it as a Batman show, think of it as a Brave and the Bold show. Do any of you actually read that series? Because tonally, it is vastly different from Detective Comics or Batman.

And I would much rather see the show we're getting - instead of just seeing the Titans, we'll see Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and a number of other semi-obscure superheroes that are unlikely to ever headline a show on their own, but when paired with Batman, have an opportunity to make it on TV...

And they most assuredly are. Ben 10's kiddie programming - and from all appearances, so is The Brave and the Bold. Probably why Cartoon Network plans on running both shows in the same block. But just because The Brave and the Bold is kiddie programming, it's not going to stop me from watching...

See it a second time. No, really. I went into the movie with huuuuge expectations. Batman Begins is the entire reason I got back into comics and was my favorite comic book movie, period, up until this point. So I went into The Dark Knight with massive expectations. Seeing it the first time? It...

Yeah, I guess that's why Paul Dini - one of the primary writers from the original, the guy who wrote the award winning Heart of Ice episode with Mr. Freeze - is also writing an episode for the show. And as was already mentioned, The Batman already did a bang up job of churning out Bat-garbage...

Kite. Man! Woo!

Heath Ledger. Liam Neeson. The accountant's not going to be the Riddler based on the actor alone - never mind the fact that why in god's blazes would he become the Riddler in the first place? There's no set-up, no reason. The movies have been more or less grounded so far. Turn some c-list...

Ick. If it's a movie done similarly to Seven, then the Riddler has no place in it at all.

By that same token, if anyone ever tells you that Chaotic Evil characters can't make intricate, long-range plans, tell them they're a moron and point them to The Dark Knight.

Saw it. Good stuff. Planning on seeing it again tomorrow. Woo!

They're also new and arguably one of the mechanically best races in the book. So of course there's going to be a glut of them. Eldarin are also relatively high up there, if not quite as much - they add a few interesting mechanics to the races (namely, teleporting) and even though they're more...

Ahh, but pirates without flintlock pistols. So, again: Bang. Pirates two, vikings zero.

In fantasy, pirates often wield flintlock pistols. Pirates of the Caribbean told me so. In fantasy, a ninja wouldn't deign to wield a firearm. Bang. Pirates one, ninjas zero.

Pirates, no contest. It's called a gun, son. There's a reason that modern day armies don't run around with katanas and shuriken and it's because firearms replaced them. A pirate's probably not all that sneaky. Not fantastic in a fight. But all the ninja moves in the world aren't going to help...
