Sounds like an interesting approach. This is like what I would like to try if I ever have a shop. My idea is for a coffee & comics place that wouldn't try to be a full-on LCS but act as a compliment to other comic shops in the area. I would try to focus on indie comics and trades while still ha...

Personally I do a all over the place approach. LOL BUT as I said in a podcast with Bob and John my shop is a bit different than shops in the states. I know almost all of my customers and have pull lists for them. I mix the book up because I found customers would come in look at only one section, cha...

I don't agree with the original point. I feel that the Tim Burton, fantastical, art deco style has been utterly played out over the last 2 decades. Nolan was very savvy to recognize the need to take things in a fresh direction. Yes BUT you can be loyal to the source material without it becoming BAT...

I did notice and wonder about it BUT it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the film.
I guess I just thought that he didn't HAVE to wear it only that it was more comfortable for him breathing water.

Yeah I really liked Dark Knight too and I hope that the movies continue to live up to expectations. I think they will have a hard time making as good of a movie for number 3 JUST because number 2 was so well received. And hey my "complaints" as it were really could take a long time to come...

I wouldn't say that Two-face was fantastical. He was a disfigured guy, thats it. I'm not saying that it wasn't well done. But I feel that if they were to introduce a "inhuman" villain or a character with outlandish powers it would break the mood they have established so far in both movies....

Dark Knight- my problem with its approach

Here is my problem with the approach that they are taking with Batman. It's too "real world" Let me explain. "Road to Perdition" or "History of Violence". Both movies based on comic books, but in a real world setting. I have NO problem with them. But when you take a mov...
