what’s this I keep hearing? An “arnold” version of mr. Freeze? I’m pretty sure that never happened…

I still wish they would do a movie with Bane in it…

I think that DeVito’s Penguin could’ve been very good, but the writing for that movie just didn’t give him the room to maneuver.

Carrey’s Riddler was extremely good up until the end of the movie… all the early scenes between him and harvey were brilliant… The problem with anything after the first one was that they continued trying to make the charectors to, well, comic book like, and not more ‘legit’, and so they tried to play/recreate the camp that they could not do… the kinda camp the original batman had… the one with Adam We…

Worst villan in the Old Series? Had to be the bookworm…

Me too. What’s the point of casting Lando as Harvey Dent if you are not going to use him when the villain appears? This always pissed me off.

Even in the comics, the Joker was never really comedic. Right from the start he was killing people with his Joker Venom --that wasn’t a later creation of the Dark Knight writers of the 1970s or later. the Joker always had an evil and grotesque edge. They just played it down for the campy 1960s series and movie.

People can “define” coffee to include stuff without caffeine, too, and baseball to include a game where pitchers don’t take a turn at bat.

I’m happy with my own reality. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, I saw some reprints of the first comic books. Real downer stuff. I didn’t care for it.

That’s damning with faint praise – I can scrape stuff under the stones in my garden that’d be a better Mr. Freeze than the governator version…

I’m still not recalling any movie version of Mr. Freeze…
