Christopher Walken was made to be in a comic book with his look in Returns. The size of that hair was utterly ridiculous but it fit him to a tee.

Really that's awesome. LOL i agree the hair was perfect for him, made him look crazy.

Whaa??  Uh, was not Hill invented for BTAS?  What kind of influence could an animated show which hadn't even aired yet possibly have been on BR????

QuoteDawes doesn't borrow anything at all, just like Chase Meridian before her. Of those two women, one is a self righteous robot while the other sounds like a confused 16 yr. old who can't decide to choose between her loving parents or her corrupted boyfriend.
...

wtf?

Actually no, Hill was in the comics as far back as 1983 from what I've seen.

Cant beat the oul Kim basinger, at least she was straight! lol And not a stalker (Meridian), or psycho (Kyle) or head f##k!(Dawes)

No one, & I MEAN absolutely NO ONE, beats Ms. Kyle (played by the lovely Michelle Pfeiffer)! Anyway, Vicki Vale is MUCH better as a love interest for Bruce when compared to the 16 yr. old Meridian & the robotic Dawes, but just not the Catwoman! ;D

Hellsing920 made a review of TDK (along w/ funny fanboy impressions):

That was a very slick review, I laughed so hard at certain points, this guy just gives it to you straight.

Heath Ledger was great but I couldn't help but LMAO at the Andy Dick comment. ;D

I think things are starting to even out a little bit with respect to TDK.  Some people are finally starting to cool off a little and give the film a bit more of an objective review.  The basic discourse still skews to gushing over-praise but if you dig a little bit, you'll see a little more criticism.  Not in a negative sense but something a little more balanced.  "There were a few leaps in logic" or "where the hell did THAT subplot come from/vanish to?" or "Dawes really was a superfluous character in a lot of ways" and such.

Weaknesses aside, I maintain that it's a quality film.  A big improvement over BB, no doubts there.
