Tbf, he breaks his spine and throws him off a roof. Maybe not that thorough but you can't argue with his grasp of probability.

It's kind of like that, only with more emphasis on kicking people in the face and less emphasis on dealing with emotions. I can definitely see Hardy in that way. Keep Bane as a soldier and tactician and keep Venom as a kind of cutting edge pill. It'd fit perfectly with Nolan's direction.

Have you ever read Batman: Venom? If not, do. It's ace- and it depicts an earlier version of the drug very much based on amphetamines or steroids, rather than a 'magic muscle formula' it's been shown as more recently. In the original, it comes in pill form and is handed to Batman as a performance enhancer.

I quite like the Miami Vice film actually... anyway:

Happy birthday chap!

I tried EMP out a few times last night. It's kick ass. Powering through to ghosts is kind of tough on the vespene production (150! Each!) but well worth it. I got rushed by zealot / stalker combos and with EMP (and a wall) I drove them off with a ghost and 4 marines. Must have killed as many Zealots too. Only problem is that it sets back the MMM build fairly hard and you can't scout too well or expand that early. EMP fucking ruins Protoss' shit though, so it's gravy. Without it, Terrans just can't kill them fast enough.

Magneto is blatantly on the verge of cooking up a fondue (with powers) to go with that roll neck. Too good.

Still waiting on this- my local indie is getting it late but I pointedly refuse to see it anywhere else.

More images! Everyone! Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw (Kevin fuckin Bacon!) Charles and Eric Love the last image. So much going on- you can just feel Eric daring him to read his mind and find his next move.

I eagerly await your explanation of why you're wrong.

But Spider-Man and JJJ are inseparable. if this is 'early years' as we suspect, then they should have JJJ lambasting his good name and running smear campaigns. They come up together.

Of course he's integral! Come on!

uhh...yyeeaah.

Heh. Yeah, that'd be sick.

It'd be great. They could even bring in elements of the Bat 'family' as a kind of legacy ending. Batman is broken, but the ideas he inspires (crippling petty criminals with multi billion dollar weapons technology) go on to keep Gotham safe. It'd be a cool ending to a definitive run.

See, here's the thing... ---- Anyone listened to the radio version yet? It's good!

I might watch it. I've not wanted to destroy everything in sight recently.

Bane could be an amazing antagonist. In the books, he was a proper cunning mob boss, not some kind of psychotic steak. I think Hardy could bring that to the role.

Agreed. It starts off OK- New York gone to the wilds was a nice touch, and Will Smith does alright with the material, but the film just gets progressively shit as it goes on. Its faults are legion, too numerous to count, but the biggest amongst them is the hilarious ending. It deviates so far from the source material that you can't help but wonder if the writers ever even read the real ending in the first place.

you're that amazed?

I was just on iPlayer and came across this gem: A BBC7 serialisation of I Am Legend Forget the rank film adaptation, the book is a different beast. Written in 1954, it depicts the last living man on Earth and his battles against a horde of vampires in Los Angeles in 1974. I can't emphasise enough how much better the book is than the film- short of reading it yourself, this radio version is pretty good.

ooh good shout on the Ghosts-is that aoe? Marines, Marauders and Medivacs is a savage build, but it's far less effective vs Protoss and, frankly, it's my only really effective build

Hahahaha yes!
