As far as combining humor with a quality comic book adaptation, the first Reeve Superman film set the bar 35 years ago. That was/is a truly excellent movie. Marvel/Disney has done a much better job of capturing that tone and feel in the current era than any of the other studios.

I thought the second Christian Bale flick, with Ledger as the Joker, was outstanding.  The way he plays the Joker is excellent - not as the psychotic nut job, but as the devious planner who is always thinking waaaay ahead of everyone else.

Complete agreement.

I think Gus would make an excellent Batman.  he has the needed inner angst to pull it off.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

If it's inner angst that's needed, I'm Batman.

I have the angst of an orphan from rural Maine whose most successful relationship to date was with a woman who turned out to be a lesbian.

And my vote for Joker would be Starfury. No contest.

I was actually thinking of Gus as more in the Robin role to Jarhead's Batman. Being Old School, I also prefer the Julie Newmar version of Catwoman. Unless all that stuffed into that leather suit was just padding. Or furr. :2funny:

Batman is Anti-Guns (most of the time), so he's definitely not a role for JH.
Marvel's Punisher is probably a better choice.

For the sake of fun and my big nose, I'll take  Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot. Aka The Penguin.

The good news is that no ones going to fight over Aquaman. Just give it to LB and be done with it
