I though Cillian Murphy's take on Dr Crane was top notch.

OH my gosh, Kevin says the exact same thing about Batman vs. Superman, haha.
I like him better too...although I was more fascinated by the Joker, who I found deliciously creepy. But that's because the villians hold a special interest for me.

I know that some thorough breeds simply like to run faster then other horses. It's like the hundreds of mating rituals that occur within the animal kingdom in which one male has to impress the female through some simple act. It just comes natural to them. Plus I'm pretty sure trainers give the horses an apple or some rare treat only when they win a race, so the horse figures it has to run fast or else no apple.

Batman will always feel more real than Superman. I wish I had Batman on DVD, I would watch it right now. The old Michael Keaton one.
Jack Nicholson was a fucking inspiration as the Joker.

And while I motly agree with your assessment, isn't it a bit scary that Keaton was the best?
Doesn't seem right... still.

It doesn't seem right, but it really really just clicks all the same.
What do you think of this new Superman fellow?

I dunno. My friends dad is a racehorse trainer.. he insists that the horses love racing. But, he isn't exactly a neutral source on the matter

I just reread "The Dark Knight Returns," it's such a joy to whip out and leaf through every now and again.

Batman was my favorite until I graduated from college. Now Spidey is my fav.
He has superpowers... and he has finals too!
I finally get the humor.

Hmm...fair enough, I'd definitely go Spidey over Superman too.

I never read comics growing up (I could only afford to collect baseball cards... I'm sure you understand the quandry I was in)... so I am just getting my feet wet. Movies and cartoons have provided 90% of my mythology.

I've only recently, i.e. the last five years or so, developed a real love for baseball. Now I'm unhealthily obsessed.
But when I was little, and collected cards, i didn't really care at all. I still have a bunch of them though, I recently broke them out to see if they would be worth anything to sell so I could have a little money on the side. I still have em sitting right here.
