Yeah, the writing was part of it. But seriously, I think she did a bad job at the role in general. She felt more like a neutral seductress than a true villain.
I was trying not to refer to Harvey's actual role, but sure.
And yeah, I wanted to see Harley Quinn. She kicks much ass.
However, considering this is a comic-movie, I'm sure they can hit a reset button for Harvey, y'know?
One thing that I really enjoyed about the movie honestly was the writing.... I mean, how many times did we shudder just because of how absolutely chilling or cold the Joker's lines were... Also, you gotta admit, it was pretty powerful, the note by Rachel, and the lines delivered by Batman and Harvey... I just thought the story was incredible.
About Batman & Robin, I actually really enjoyed that movie.. it was a fun one to watch.. There were a lot of quirks and fun lines, which I liked.. yeah they probably seemed forced at times, but c'mon, what movie doesn't?
I do hope we see Two-Face again and that Aaron Eckhart reprises his role, because I thought he did a great job. I'm trying to remember actually.. was it really concrete that he died? I can't remember now, even though it was only last night. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it again. As for segueing the Joker back into the game, I'm not sure, but I bet there would be some kind of "calling card" *cough* which would give him the opening if they really wanted to bring in Harley Quinn.. perhaps to avenge the Joker? Did he die, even? (The Joker)
The Joker did NOT die, no. But that's true to form. He -never- dies in the movies or in the books. He's batman's eternal arch-foe. And while they didn't outright show the autopsy report on Two-Face, I thought it was pretty concrete that he was dead.
remember? I don't know, that one seemed pretty concrete, and then... lol.
Well, I probably should get some sleep.. I was exhausted all day today and i promised myself I would get to bed early tonight and i haven't yet, so I should go do that.... its 10:30 here. talk to you guys later..

QFT. The Joker and Batman are opposing balances to each other... yin and yang, if you will. The Joker lives for nothing but to amuse himself in his own twisted ways. Bruce Wayne lives as the Batman in an attempt to attone for his sins and try to alleviate his sense of remorse for "killing his parents." Without the Joker, I believe that Batman would indeed become a ruthless vigilante.
That's true. But there's a good reason he didn't die. But Two-Face, on the other hand, had a very definite type of exit, y'know?
Yeah, Gordon's death was staged but Two-Face's surely wasn't. Though there was no conclusive evidence in the movie that he is indeed dead, one can only wonder how he could have escaped
Another thought just occured to me... What about the riddler? I remember Lucius Fox calling the guy who discovered batman's identity "Mr. Reese" or something like that. Now quickly say "Mr. Reese". Also, I saw some pics of those fake "Gotham times" things that they did to promote the Dark Knight and one of the authors is "Edward Nashton", one of the Riddler's aliases. There's also been rumour of a question mark being on a letter in the movie, but I never saw it.
Maybe I'm reaching here, but the Riddler does seem like a possbility, even if he's already been done. Now THAT'S a role I could see Johnny Depp playing!
Hey kids! Don't like rules? Tired of having your lulz censored by terrible, terrible people called "moderators"? Big fan of metal? Check out Metaln☺☺☺☺! This is probably the worst possible forum to advertise it on!
Added bonus: we're holding a songwriting contest in march with a registry drive going on right now! Check it out, plus the opportunity to earn $50!
Hmmm... anyone who was once here is always welcome back at any point, unless you did something to hurt someone here, irreparably..which to my recollection you didn't...
hmm.. Purple, that does indeed make me wonder.. about the Riddler.. remind me of the story behind the Riddler?

A little down, as the first real message I got was a flame about me being "two-faced" and "overly melodramatic", but glad for the welcome.
I was banned on request, realized that I had made a mistake, and tried to contact someone about my unbanning.
That is not as easy as it sounds.
And I think "Good to Know :)" is 4 words!

There was also Xenphire, IIRC, but that resulted in a reban and an instatement of a once-you're-banned-you're-banned-forever (with banning due to moderator error being pretty much the only exception) policy.

The Golden Rule of forums: If you're going to be rude, be right. If you might be wrong, be polite.
@Zaphod: Nah you don't have to work on a banner if you don't want to.
Anyway I just wanted to check in and say good morning. I have another 8 hour shift today which is blah. I always get so tired during the week but hopefully i have monday off because im going to be in pharmacy training for 8 hours this coming sunday. I pretty much have long days like six out of seven days now during the week.
Back to studying for me then need to head off to work in a little while. Talk to you all later. Take care and have a good day everyone.
Xenphire was the first, even though the site was his. Rather amazing, really.
As for the Riddler... I can't remember. Might go watch that Batman again to see Jim Carrey (?) once more.
In any case, Nai is sick. Dunno what the issue is, but I'm dealing with a swollen throat, asthma, dry and wet coughing, the works. Ew. Seeing a doctor today about it.
The Dark Knight, wow, I love that movie. I have never seen a movie in theaters more than once, and I would go see the Dark Knight in a second.
The movie is dark, powerful, every acting job done to the ultimate. Wow, yeah, just, wow. "I'm going to show you a magic trick..."
As far as the sequels, Riddler definitely would fit this universe. Bad guys relying on supernatural attributes like super powers would seem out of place, but a psychotic, puzzle driven bad guy would work fantastic.

Official Character Sheet Shredder of DAMNIT
DAMNIT: I should never have to shred my own character sheet in frustration.
Still not much new here, get to draft tomorrow and hopefully pick up the rest of the stuff for the cube. Also got a matress for the apartment.:D
So, my release. We pre-register, get there with 10 min left in deck construction. Luckily, my deck builds itself, great black/golgari stuff, green fat, and blue tricks to splash for. First round, the kid gets mana problems and I win. Second round, I face the best guy in the shop, and he has loads of removal with triple snakeform. I lose quickly. Third round, I play my friend and ride home, and take him out quickly, as he built a deck that was too balanced with its mana (6/7 lands each color). Fourth round, game one, the guy gets turn 3 Scuttlemutt, turn 4 Ghastlord of Fugue, turn 5 Oona. I die. I rally back in the match due to being able to topdeck nonland cards first, and a gift of the deity on a noxious hatchling pwning some oona, tokens, and board. Round 5 I am paired down, and ask for a scoop. He's at 7 points, and one 10 pointer will make it. My friend is 3-0-1 against a 4-0 guy, and has the best chance. The other guy says he has a chance, and I look at the sheet and see he has the best breakers atm. Game 1 he goes turn 1 Nip Gwyllion, turn 2 edge of the divinity. Pwned. Game 2 he mulls to 5 and I curve out. Also pwned. Game 3 he gets flyers, I don't get enough removal in time, and he wins. My friend loses, but he makes top 8, with my opponent finishing 9th.:mad: My friend has to go to work, so he rare drafts the top 8 and concedes. Afterwards, epic trade for most of my cube stuff, and I get to bed at a sane hour.
And that makes you only the 2nd ever MTGS user to become banned, and then have your posting privileges reinstated.
Well done on that mate.
But yeah, if you make a silly comment in the future, don't go overboard again
You know, I considered posting an idiotic thing in my sig like "Unbanned #2!" or "I have changed the way this forum does something! I am famous!", but then I realized that I really should just shut up and thank my lucky stars that this got cleared up.

Well, today we got out of school (gogo six weeks of summer vacation :-/), and I got my report card. B- average is generally pretty good at the school I go to (pretty elite school). And my mom is away for the weekend, so I'm spending some time at my best friend's house. On Tuesday, I fly to America to see my dad.
Also, glix wrote me a poem. I'm very touched.

Good morning everyone just wanted to check in for the day and say hello. Probably going to study or chill for a bit before another grueling 8 hours of work until the evening. Then i have an 6 hour shift tommorrow morning which shouldn't be too bad. Then an 8 hour training for pharmaceutical tech school tommorrow and that should be pretty fun. Hopefully I have monday off though I have some catching up to do for my studies.
Have a good day everyone and a good weekend as well.
While the constricted throat has improved overnight, the coughing has gotten worse. Not fun. I have some codeine, but that'll put me to sleep. I don't really want that.
So, in order to not sit around and wallow in misery, I'm going to go play DDR. I'll be back later, if I can still breathe.
