... Batman's black rubber suit and cowl. It just looks ridiculous. Why
does Warner Brothers insist on dressing him in these plastic outfits?
All they have to do is look at the way Batman's costume is depicted in
some of the fan-pics (Batman vs Terminator, World's Finest, etc.). If
they insist on having body armor, they can say that it is underneath
the cloth. What do the rest of you think about Batman's movie duds?
Otherwise, I really enjoyed the picture.

If not, they they can do just about anything and I'll be happy. I'm
still trying to forget that gawd-awful Clooney film.
But you're right. Interesting how an ultra-low-budget fan film can have
a better looking costume than a $100+ million dollar feature. Granted
the fan films didn't do the close ups that the feature film does, but still.

But if he is supposed to hide in the shadows and strike fear in the
hearts of men, he really should be dressed all in black

Technically, you're right. But of all the plastic Batman outfits so
far this is the best.

The suit also visually explains why Batman survives being shot by Harvey
Dent, and why when they fall off the bridge Harvey dies but Batman
lives. And I do like the sharp things that fly off at a touch.

I just looked at the Watchmen promo poster and decided that I'm tired of
the Hollywood interpretation of *all* the comic book costumes. Except
for Silk Spectre's costume they all look the same, and hers has nothing
in common with the one from the comic. which was just lingerie.

They seem to have lost the idea of age -- of Nite Owl as plump and
balding, or the Comedian with gray in his hair. (I wonder if he is
still the father of Laurie.)

Of course he is, and you should post a spoiler alert before you say
something like that.

Or, for a movie that is not out yet and of which nobody can say what
major surgery has been done on the plot?

The current one (at least what I've seen in stills ... I'll see the
movie when the crowds die down a little, just in case Ledger's Joker
makes me want to barf as much as the stills & trailers indicate) is far
better than the "anatomically cor-RECT rubber suit" cLooney wore.
Still, as practical as the body armor seems to be on the surface [sic],
having it hidden makes more sense. I recall Bat-stories that explained
the "big yellow & black target" on Batman's chest as being just that: an
obvious target, aimed at the most heavily armored (under the surface)
spot. Of course, we always saw fabric, never armor, when he changed
duds, but that's right up there with the white-only eye lenses that has
NEVER seen live-action light of day.
At least it's not padded foam rubber like John Wesley-Schipp had to wear
for the Flash TV series.

that in _Hamlet_, a murder victim's ghost returns to this world and
tells his son that the boy's stepfather had murdered him! How am I
supposed to enjoy that story when I know that!
Even more galling was the inconsiderate posters who ruined TITANIC for
me by posting that the ship sinks. And why did anybody need to inform
me that Jesus dies at the end of Mel Gibson's PASSION OF THE CHRIST? Or
that the defenders of the ALAMO don't win?

...No, you don't. If someone's that spoiler-challenged, they need to
stay away from any sort of message forum, whether it be usenet or
web-based. In fact, cloistering themselves in a monastery that has no
contact with the outside world, period, is probably their best bet to
avoid having anything spoiled for them.
...No, on second thought, that wouldn't work either. I can see the
head monk going over some passage in "Revelations" and someone like
this particular dipshit would get all pissy because he hadn't gotten
that far in the Bible yet. In fact, he's the type of schmuck who
refuses to watch weather forecasts even if the weather geek has the
worst accuracy rating in the station's history. Hell, if you were to
say "the sky is blue", he'd bitch and moan that you spoiled his day by
taking the surprise out of looking up.
People like simply need to fuck off.

Except that the previous paragraph refers to historical record, not
fiction. "Watchman" is famous withing a subset of readers, but
it's not Hamlet. To give a real-life example, it was my book
group's selection last month. Only a quarter of the membership
knew the plot, the rest would have been annoyed with you had
you blabbed like that to them.
The closest you come to a legitimate point is with your Hamlet
analogy, and even so... Shakespeare, Moore. Gee, I wonder
which author might be better known.
