Lit Apropos of Nothing - ACKBAR IN CAPITALS - The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15

I actually felt the same way as Jello as a kid...but I want back and watched some episodes as an adult and found the show to be really, really good.

 

No, he reads books.


Anyway, the manager at my gym got a new haircut and now he looks exactly like Benedict Cumberbatch. This is hilarious. I really want to shout "KHAAAAAAAN!" at him.

 

Trust me trying to watch that show had lots of other problems then just the bad music.

You should quote the better movie Cumberbatc was in at him you know the "I am Fire!" one

 

Also, Dick Grayson in the DCAU is already in college before Batman really begins to mix in with the larger superhero universe--unless you take a really loose view of the chronology, the only way that could work is if Dick was running around with Beast Boy and Cyborg before Batman and Superman had even met.

Regarding Bruce in BB, all I'll say is Return of the Joker has the best Bruce-as-Batman scene in the entire continuity.

 

Schwarbage.

 

Fun fact: Tatooine, despite being an inhospitable desert, has far and away the most species of animals living on it that have appeared in Star Wars media. Over twice as much as the next best planet, Yavin 4.

 

Though most seem to be imported.

 

Yeah, I imagine the intent doesn't line up well, and even if it did the show could never acknowledge it (how much of a downer would it be for the main hero of the show to be rewarded with sleepless nights and unending torment? Oh wait, I forgot they did a show about Batman). I'll probably watch Teen Titans after the DCAU, if only for nostalgia, so I'll see how I feel about my headcanon then. If nothing else, I think it nicely explains why Robin seems to have absolutely no contact with Batman in that series. After the events of Return of the Joker, they wouldn't have been on speaking terms.

The thing about Old Bruce, though, is that he absolutely steals every scene he's in, so it balances out. I mean, he fills his awesome quota in the first episode alone



And then, of course, there's the time he tortured a guy (off-screen) with his cane: love Max's shudder after she apparently hears the screams. And, of course, there's the team up scene.

That's gotta be the highlight of somebody's career.

Do you want an ESO beta key for this weekend to try the game for free?

 

Is it just for this weekend? Sounds interesting, but I'm not going to have very much time this weekend, so it might be somewhat wasted on me. If it's between me and just not using it, though, I could probably get some time in.

 

It starts Friday at noon EDT and ends at 11:59pm EDT on Sunday. I have three beta keys that no one seems to want.

 

Incidentally, I would totally see that musical.

 

I probably would too, even after the lethal dose of pain injection that was Spider-man Broadway.

If you're looking to get rid of him, I'd be glad to take one off your hands. I can probably at least play enough to know whether I'd be interested in the game. But you owe me

 

It says Admiral Ozzel, but all I see is Hitler.

 

Didn't they actually have Nightwing on a set-in-the-future episode? Considering Dick's always the Robin to grow into Nightwing―Red Robin for Tim, Red Hood for Jason, and obscurity for Damian―it seems like Dick being the Teen Titans Robin is pretty much confirmed.

Ehh...I have to draw a line somewhere.

 

Can't be worse than Batman & Robin. Nothing can.

 

Welp, my work here is done. Time for bed.
