Woops!

Haha, I’m hoping for some mushrooms so I can offer snakes (I survey snakes too, I’m all over this meme!)

I’m surprised not to see ceiling cat here so…

Reaalllyyy…is that so?

Yup, I lost the game too

Well I’m an ecogist who surveys badgers…

I put ai in ’ ’ as I assume it’s generated automatically somehow. AI is just a somewhat a modern/newer version of computer generated/automated in general (colloquially speaking).

The date part is probably the most tricky one to add when making these, unless it’s an accurate record, it could be an estimate anyway.

Interesting, I haven’t played in while but only came across the odd national celebration, no birthdays. I’m not too surprised there may be mistakes. The computer ‘ai’ guess can be…how the hell can it figure that?!, so I assume it’s created using the same programme.

You could try When Taken to really test your knowledge! Gets you thinking about more than just where the image is, but when also.

It does crack me up, “his voice, so grating!” The pummling is quite brutal though for a comedy skit!

I know very little about the comic book versions, but this series struck me as a clear sidestep from the overall character design in that regards. Not necessarily a bad thing, like you say, any long running character has various iterations, but Batman has always come across to me as being a character formed almost wholly by the murder of his parents, so such an opinion re Ra’s al Ghul feels quite a big sidestep.

Perhaps if Nolan leaned in a bit more and asked e.g. "what if Wayne turned out less principled and more psychotic? " that could’ve been an interesting take. Take Batman almost wholly out of the lore and suggest an alternative. Perhaps too risky even for someone at such a high point in his career!

I didn’t much enjoy them, I wasn’t against the darker theme, gravelly voice etc. (Bane asides, can’t stand his voice - but at least it spawned this sketch that cracks me up! https://youtu.be/1-GkQihKYvM or https://piped.video/watch?v=1-GkQihKYvM).

Oddly the design of the batmobile & bike really bugged me, just didn’t like them at all for some reason, but they do fit with the films overall at least.

Style quibbles asides I just didn’t enjoy the feel of the films, I couldn’t get into the stories or characters much at all. I can’t put a finger on why exactly, I just didn’t enjoy them. Maybe it was the lack of cartoony villains (the 1989 version is the most impressioned film on me, not a stellar storyline, but great style & characters (Batman Returns also bug not do much)), but then I really liked The Joker, but then that is a solo story.

Then there’s the line by Alfred in the 1st film about the bats ‘nesting’ in the cave. As an ecologist by profession, the whole series can be burned just for that faux pas!! (Joking, but it is also unforgivable!)

Overall, fine as a general action superhero movie series but I can’t rate it highly in my experience of the Batman world.

They’re powered by sound from other sources but don’t create sound themselves…no?

Ha! That came on in the supermarket the other day. Serendipitously I was in the herbs & spices aisle at the time!

Oh, it made it out of Canada!

Exactly as the great orange turd said it would be. The one single thing he has said that has been 100℅ true.

Fair points, definitely understand the need for cathersism, just take care not to lose sight of all they do. It’ll be needed one day! All the best for getting through it all.

True, but given what he has done & is continuing to do, is it really ok to laugh about?! I get that it can feel like there’s not anything else to do, but sometimes you’ve got to check yourself. Laugh at something else, not him.
