God he's aging badly.

Have you seen Mark Hamill lately? It's the curse of Star Wars.

yeah but Mark's face was ruined between Star Wars and ESB.

I know ... but he was still okay to watch. However, did you see him lately? I guess not. OMG!

Mark has aged fairly well imho. He's not Frankenstein, but his scaring probably works for him.

Ooookay. If that is aging well to you, then we even disagree about that. OTOH, you are probably better positioned to judge a man's looks than me.

I can't find the video where I saw him in yesterday, bloody Google Chrome!

btw I think Cliff Richards looks awful,

what I'm saying Alex is that had Mark not had his face damaged he'd probably look worse today. Pretty boys never age well. Mark isn't a pretty boy and he looks like a 61 year old.

Never seen them. Oh, tell a lie - I watched a movie of one of them. It wasn't bad.

Is that all the definite Batman version gets from you, Lee? "It wasn't bad"?

Well, if it was Mystery of the Batwoman, I suppose that would be understandable. Lee, you should definitely check out Mask of the Phantasm. The show is typically a little tamer, but for a cartoon it's pretty mature, and Karol was accurate in calling it the definitive Batman, I think.

That might be true (Robert Redford, anyone?). Anyway, here's a guy that ages handsomely, Joey.

Yeah, Mask of the Phantasm was for me a decent animation worth watching out of curiosity which I'd forgotton about a couple of days afterwards. The definitive Batman for me is found in the games, albeit with the same voices and writers as those in the animated series.

Even teenage girls have a soft spot for Brucie.

Especially the one he married.

You nailed it. Paul Dini's the missing link, and Kevin Conroy IS Batman.

True, but there are so many decades' worth, it would be rather tedious, time-consuming, and expensive to stay on top of all the crisscrossing storylines and reboots. I'm content to enjoy The Animated Series and the two Arkham games, which feel like the show's spirtual successors.

if you say so Alex, I personally think Bruce lost it some time ago,

You take Mark over Bruce?!

no, I wouldn't take either. But I guess you would. How GAY!

I also hope Thor: The Dark World redempts Thor's particular saga. The first one was such a a missed oportunity, They had possibly something great in there, and they didn't take it. They left it aside. It annoys me.

And I hope they pump up a notch the inherent transhumanist element of the Marvel universe, because it's a thematic I really enjoy.

thor felt very underdeveloped, but in the end I too enjoyed it a whole lot more than avengers. I welcome the dark world with open arms! avengers 2? nah.

Thor: TDW is likely to lead into the second Avengers.

I have problems with Thor. They cut out scenes that didn't need to be cut out. I missed lots of more adventure and space opera and mythological ideas turned into space opera. They could have developed more the characters, they could have treated the whole "Asgard as a futuristic civilization" with a little more intrigue. And they gave Sif an stupid-looking small plastic shield.

Is that the icy night time place where those demon blokes reside? That was brilliantly realised, I thought. And after my initial eye-ache at the sight of cg Oz in space, I eventually came to rather like that, too. It worked well as three very contrasting worlds, within a very daft blockbuster context.

I fear these post-Avengers Marvel superhero movies will fall into a rut with movie audiences who ask, "why do our heroes suffer these terrible misfortunes when all they have to do is put the gang back together again and lay the smack down?"

Asgard looked Jack Kirby-ish. I liked that.

I think The Dark World doesn't refer to the icy planet but to a different one with space elves.

Oh. Well, same thing really. I'm guessing there's baddies there as well.

Lee - still not seen Ironman 2, after enjoying the first. Put off by word of mouth.

Wow, I just looked those up and you're so right. No one should ever have thought of cutting out the scene of Loki and Thor before the ceremony in the beginning.
