Not being from USA I had no concept about what kinda movie it was gonna be. I also think it was the first Batman movie I saw. So at the first I was kinda confused about weather or not it was a comedy because while it wasn't funny it clearly wasn't serious either.

Alhazred posted:It's also really boring. I really struggled with getting through it. I love the movie. I grabbed the complete TV show DVDs and those took me a while to get through. The first season was kinda rough and watching them in huge chunks was too much. It was much better when I would only see 2-3 episodes while playing in my aunt's basement on Sundays as a 9 year old. Or by watching a random episode here and there.

LOL, gently caress, my memory of it was much cooler than that! It would be a funny callback in the comics if they used that, though, doofy octopus and lumpy planet and all.

When? More like if. I love the insanity of golden age comics. It reminds me of computer games from the '80's where you'd have very little between the consumer and someone's crazed fever dream of a magnus opus.

UC Berkeley, I think, is the most expensive public college in the country and was free up until Ronald Reagan became governor of California.

And in Tiger Shark's entry: And Walker's entry: All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: A-Z Update #1 (2007) Phrasing makes me want to think that this involved a cigarette. Darling Love #6 (1950) And some of the couplets that ran as footers in Green Lantern #12 (1944)

That Puck stuff reminds me of an old panel someone posted where he gets really intense talking about going into hell or the afterlife or something, does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Hahahaha, yep, that's just as amazing as I remember, thanks! What a thankless job that writer had to try to rehabilitate Puck into someone unique and interesting. Maybe the next big MCU thing will be Alpha Flight and vindicate all that continuity.

People would call it a Hydra parody. And... they might be right? Hydra had basically just turned up in Marvel at the time of that movie (Hydra turn up in 1965, the Batman movie in 66); I'm not sure if they had a logo that resembled that at the time, though.

This was my first reaction to Batman 66 because I'd only seen clips out of context. Once I saw a whole scene I quickly realized it was on purpose.

The guy can take on the properties of anything he touches and this dwarf visibly frightens him. It's like the end of the SNL sketch with the game show "Who's More Grizzled?" but with badassitude.
