That's nice.  I'd like to think of myself as still a baby.

If you're a baby, then what am I? A baby bat?

I read a story about Alec Guinness and a fan encounter just before he died years back. He apparently met this fan who told him he had literally seen Star Wars something like 180 times or more in one whole year. Guinness' response was to say "I pray you never see it again...whereupon the gentleman burst into tears!" lol No idea if it's true but they were his accounts.

[Edd Grayson]

I've seen "Batman" and "Batman Returns" many times, but I think that if I watched either of them 180 times, I would be reciting the dialogue in my sleep...

But it is interesting to know just how highly people though of the first movie especially, and many still do, that they say Star Wars is dead to them now... meaning, the films to follow.

[Catwoman]

Sir Alec apparently hated his dialogue and thought it was completely ridiculous compared to what he was used to during his time, so I guess it makes sense he would think we're all a bunch of idiots lol. I read that the guy who played Wedge feels the same way. Maybe it's a Scottish thing......someone ask Ewan McGregor, quick! lol

I read somewhere that he's volunteered his services as Obi-Wan if Disney needs him.

[Edd Grayson]

Obi-Wan and Padme' were my favorite characters in the prequels... although I've not seen McGregor in any other film, and Natalie Portman in like, two or three others. 

[The Dark Knight]

I may not be convinced by Eisenberg's Lex yet, but I smirked when he said "That's a three syllable word for any thought too big for little minds" as soon as Lois called him psychotic, and then he condescendingly patted her forehead with a fingertip. 

I actually did like that part.

Yeah, so he may not be the ruthless Lex from the DCAU, but he shows signs of being the evil genius. I hope they know what they're doing with him, even if I still dislike that Jesse guy.

I get that he rubbed people the wrong way with those unfluttering comments he made about Comic Con, but there have been other actors who have made negative comments about the genre they starred in. Alec Guinness thought Star Wars was crappy sci-fi and even Heath Ledger expressed his distaste for superhero movies when he was cast as the Joker. But as long as the performance is good, nobody cares...right? :/

I care.  But yeah, if the performance is good, like Guiness, I've nothing against the actor in the role. Ledger on the other hand, I respect him and his work, but he was not my Joker.

Ledger expressed his love for Jack Nicholson and Burton's films. Which is to be expected, I guess, but nonetheless, he was on the record praising the past. Even though I prefer Jack's Joker, I do find myself tipping my hat to Ledger's performance. Overhyped or not, I admit to being nostalgic about that era of marketing. I don't remember B89's hype, which by all accounts even bigger. But TDK was a perfect storm. BB was well received, people were excited by the trailers, the viral marketing was on point, the Joker was back and then the actor died. The film then became even more of an event, a memorial to a young man's life. And that's now seven years ago.

To me, Nicholson was quintessential, while Ledger was just one aspect of the Joker, but of course not to be underappreciated.

Ledger praised the Burton film's? So what did he say about them?

I can watch him no problem as The Joker but there is always a certain kind of magic missing there for me.
