Black Mask could have been good. Penguin and Riddler are good, but they wouldn't fit in a Nolan flick unless they went really, really dark (like Joker was). I would have been okay with Killer Croc, but can you imagine what would have happened if Amazing Spider-Man had opened with The Lizard and DKR had gone with Killer Croc?

I think Poison Ivy would have been the best choice. That's a character that can go Nolan-dark without straying extremely far from the source material.

Do I now? I'm not sure if I should be flattered that you pay so much attention to every word I write or scared.

But whichever it is, I'd like you to compile a list of times I've used the word 'retarded'. If it's as big a list as you seem to think it is, it shouldn't take you but a minute using the site's search function. Go right ahead.

And if you don't feel up to the challenge, might I just say this final thing: if you think you're going to be the language police with me, if you feel like you need to call me out for using a word you don't like, you can go frak yourself. Seriously. If a mod or admin wants to admonish me for it, if it's against forum rules, then I will abide and humbly beg pardon. But you don't get to tell me what words I'm allowed or not allowed to say. I don't impose my will on you, and you sure as hell won't impose yours on me.

[edited to add - this is my 3,000th post here. Thanks for making it so goddamn special. ]

Why don't we ever play? You've just been sitting on my list and we've never played anything.
