OMG, THE CLOUD, RIGHT? Once I got over my initial flail at the end of the movie, I facepalmed like crazy. Maybe the winds were blowing from land out to sea so the fallout wouldn't be as terrible? IDK.

I actually liked Anne's Catwoman too. I feel like the opinion of her is incredibly split--either people loved it or hated it. JGL is pretty much perfection. I had a crush on Tommy from Third Rock at seven. So to see him actually doing awesome work is really cool.

I had a reaction post here, but be forewarned - it's the posting equivalent of a knee-jerk reaction and is pretty fangirl-flaily. I had a lot of Bane/Tom Hardy feelings, apparently.

I haven't... actually seen much of a fandom for TDKR. Even on AO3, the fic is coming in really slowly. Or slower than I thought, anyway. I expected the internet to explode with TDKR stuff, but no one seems to be all that interested. But finding fic that's not Blake/Bane can sometimes be a challenge. Especially since I also didn't really ship Selina/Bruce. :\ I've seen some good Blake-centric ( ... )

I would almost forgive them for the whole radiation thing if there weren't that mushroom cloud. Like, IDK, maybe the water cooled it down so it didn't explode, or fusion is different from fission so it was less dangerous or whatever pseudoscience you want. But a mushroom cloud is a mushroom cloud and it means your city will be glowing in the dark for the foreseeable future. *facepalms with you ( ... )

Yeah, the mushroom cloud is where a lot of heavy handwaving/retconning kind of falls flat on its face.

LOL, I got back from the theater at like, 2am and punched that out. So it may or may not be comprehensible.

Yeah, it's definitely an Arthur/Eames holdover. I don't know where else that would have come from. I've read some where Bane is like... a dream Eames has, which was kind of cool in concept (I don't remember if the fic was that good, I wasn't in the mood for it then). But most of it is a bit... non/dub-con for my taste.

OOOO, Link? I've been looking for good Dark Knight Fic. I do love The Avengers, so it's hard for me to feel upset about the wealth of fic and stuff rolling in. But I am sad that it's overshadowing other things. Another contributing factor though may just be the overall mood of the Nolan-verse? I know that it was a tough place for me to get my head into when I was writing.

Haha it's nearly 2AM here so I am pretty much in the same state.

Here is the link!

I missed The Avengers because I didn't get back from school until the first week of June, so I have no feels related to it currently. Maybe when it comes out on DVD I will understand the excitement? And yeah, it could be the Nolan-verse, or for all I know, Batman in general. I've never paid enough attention to comics fandom to know for sure.

I really really wish they would option a Robin movie, although I feel like John Blake was supposed to be Tim Drake with how his origin story went (plus the similar-sounding names).

I have no idea about the Batman community, though, sorry :(

That would be fun...unless he died at the end, like Tim Drake. :/

That is amazing. It's fanart, right?

I was thinking Nightwing might be a better way to go than straight-up Robin. Red and Green and tights is a little too flashy for the Nolan films. :P

Joseph Gordon-Leavitt can be in every movie as far as I'm concerned --> this. Always this!!

Me personally, I like comicunity because it covers all the different universes and publishers, and dcu_freefforall, but for bat-specific there's:

batcat_fic
ctb_ftw,
darkknightfic
gothamicons
nolanverse

And probably a bunch more that I don't even know about.

I had some thoughts over here :) It has spoilers for the Amazing Spider Man though, if you haven't already seen that, but the Dark Knight stuff is first and you could stop before Spidey.

Guys, you also have to worry about THE CLOUD--has no one heard of radiation poisoning? YES. Ha, this was my 'uh, what?' moment after the film. I went to see it with a couple of engineers and physicists, so we then had a discussion about exactly what type of bomb this could be, all 'fusion what?' and 'radiation!' and it was such a fun discussion that I forgave the film lol.

Oh, cool, I'll take a look. I have seen Spider-Man, so that's just fine. :)

Hahaha that sounds like an excellent discussion. :P
