Turbo Lion 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2009 Yep. Right up there in the top 5. Though its worth noting that "Robin's Reckoning I and II" count as one to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2009 The Gray Ghost is one of my favorite episodes as well. My personal top 5 episodes are as follows 1. Two Face part 1 2. Heart of Ice 3. Robin's Reckoning 4. Beware the Gray Ghost 5. Appointment in Crime Alley Number 5 I think is wonderfully written and I find the ending extremely touching.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 I think he will win the Oscar. Unlike most years where the supporting actor category is usually packed with tons of big names and memorable performances...there wasn't a ton of those memorable supporting performances this year.

"I didn't get it and I still can't tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I'm like, 'I get it. This is so high brow and so fucking smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.' You know what? Fuck DC comics. That's all I have to say and that's where I'm really coming from" I still <3 RDJ though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubq 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 You know, I think Robert Downey Jr is a great actor. I loved him in Iron Man, and I love almost every movie that he's appeared in. But seriously, he's being such a huge ego-prick making a comment like that and I seriously hope that he doesn't win shit at any award show this year, period.

The only reason I could see Ledger not winning is because the Supporting Actor/Actress categories are where the Academy likes to fuck around the most and have an upset.

Anakin Flair 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 I can understand where he's coming from, though. Let's face it: Iron Man would have been THE superhero movie of the year if the Dark Knight hadn't been released, and Downey fuckign owned in that movie.

dubq 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 Yes, it would've been.. but it wasn't. It wasn't like WB was going to be all "Oh, let's wait another year because Iron Man came out earlier this year". I just think that it's really immature of him to take the piss out of the movie (which includes, the cast, crew, writers, director) just because it won out at the box office, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can honor Ledger, his performance and the film in one shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarKnight 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 Downey's most likely mad because he revived his career with Iron Man, and he was back in the spotlight, but then The Dark Knight comes out and becomes huge. I guess he feels Iron Man is ignored now or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 Iron Man was ok, but oscar worthy? Come on. I like Downey well enough, but he should aiming to be involved with far better pictures now he's back on the A-list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 I found a KidsWB on demand section with episodes of The Batman and Batman of the Future. Its listed as Batman Beyond, but I have no idea why they're showing the British version instead of the American. Just something I found it interesting.

Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 That's what they call it in England, I think. Much like Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. I guess that means I'll miss out if the episode features nunchuks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBright7831 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 For a show that was only made to sell toys (according to Paul Dini), Batman Beyond (or Batman of the Future ) was a pretty awesome show. It also brought us the best animated Batman/Joker story of all time and one of my all-time favorite Justice League Unlimited episodes ("Epilogue"). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 I'm just wondering how overrated Ledger's performance will be. I smell a posthumus Oscar nomination in 09. I doubt he can win though. Hey...Marvin was RIGHT about something! On the day Ledger died no less. Well...half right so far. I think he is going to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never expected it to get to 74 pages. But to keep the discussion alive, I will say that I have been watching a lot of DCAU stuff lately - especially Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker and JLU (Cadmus arc). God, I love this stuff.
