      - Well ya know, if we're going to rid of Lieberman for supporting McCain, we can get rid of the Dem supporting a GOPer who just got convicted. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:29 1
        
        You honestly won't hear a complaint from me. - znufrii Nov 3, 09:32

- She's no Yo-Yo. -- nm - David Nov 3, 09:24 2
  - Yo-Yo is only good at a few things. Sure, she can sing, but the being cute and born to a rich family was kind of just dumb luck on her part. - Diva Nov 3, 09:32

  - I think you look exactly like you. I think I look pretty different from how I post. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:24 1
    - it's so hard to separate once you know what someone looks like. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 09:27
[deleted] 14
- I think it's kind of absurd, though, to think that many people can vote without having to take time off from work. (I don't know about MN, but in IN - mara Nov 3, 09:20 6
  - I think that election day should be a holiday. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:31
  - I have school all day tomorrow (eight to 6:00). I might actually not be able to vote unless I bail on my OH btw 3 and 4. which I will do if I have to. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:29

- did they? they vetted him about as well as they did palin. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:13 1
  - It's a Yankees/Red Sox thing - Reagen Nov 3, 09:19
- The real mistake was hiring Ted McGinley as an advisor. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 09:12 2

  - Paula Marshall. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 09:14
so we are trying to define the mantra of the batman brand. and my team proposes: Gotham city is safe for me to live out my dreams with Batman around. - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:10 52

- Keeping Gotham safe, one vendetta at a time. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 09:20
- If you're trying to market him...could one of you suggest to him that the stupid growly voice he has going on in TDK...it's a bit over the top. nm - Jim Nov 3, 09:20 7
  - But see, in the reak world people would recognize his voice. - Spawn Nov 3, 09:28
  - A bit? And Bill Gates is a bit wealthy? -- nm - David Nov 3, 09:25
  - it actually made me laugh out loud in the first bale batman movie. it's awful, yeah? -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:22 4
    - It's probably the only way Bale can hide his cockney accent during the excitement. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 09:23 3
      - If you ever watched American Psycho, you'd know this not to be the case. -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:25 2
        
        ...If anything I think the "fake-ness" of the gravel voice is intentional. He is Bruce Wayne not some voice projector. -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:27 1
        
        Exactly. I loved it. -- nmbo - Spawn Nov 3, 09:32

- Caped Crusader? -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:14 7
  - The cape doesn't add anything to the brand. I think Callisto has it right -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 09:16 6
    - Yeah, "watchful protector" and "dark knight" are good. I also think "vigilant" can be worked in somehow. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 09:19 3
      - Something like "Vigilant protector of the city from the scourge of crime and corruption." -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 09:20 2
        
        "Now rastafy him 20%." -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 09:21 1
        
        And whenever he's not around all the people should be asking "Where's Batman"? -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 09:22
    - on reflection, that's not true as the cape is part of the costume and the costume is very much a part of the brand. no cape = no bat - Roger More Nov 3, 09:17
    - I knew someone would break out TDK, so Im simply offering the alternative -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:17
- (Oh, Spawn and I didn't see a single one! There were 2 Supermen and 2 Supergirls at daycare.) -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 09:13 3
  - Let's see...we saw 2 Batmen, 1 Batgirl, 1 Wonder Woman, 1 Iron Man, about 8 ninjas, and a donkey dragon. nm - Jim Nov 3, 09:17 1
    - Oh yeah...and 2 Spider-Men. No Supes. -- nm - Jim Nov 3, 09:18
  - ... and one Spiderman. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:15
- It takes a single, disturbed individual to defeat crime -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 09:13 1
  - ... vote Joker for Gotham Mayor -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:34
- Isn't Batman considered a scourge to the populous? -- nm - nubby Nov 3, 09:13 2
  - nubby = Superman? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:14
  - populace? -- nm - mara Nov 3, 09:13
- Justice doesn't always wear a badge. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:13 8
  - . . . Sometimes it wears a codpiece. -- nm - pmb Nov 3, 09:20
  - He's Bringing Sexy Black -- nm - Max Nov 3, 09:18
  - this is *wonderful.* thank you. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:17 5
    - but was this taken from a comic? does that matter (that is might not be original)? -- nm - zork Nov 3, 09:19 4
      - If you google it, you just get some mystery novel. -- (link) - Amy Nov 3, 09:32
      - I don't think it matters. it's the fiber of the brand. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:23
      - I don't read comics so it's just off the top of my head. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:22
      - Blazing Saddles? - Roger More Nov 3, 09:21
- Batman is about revenge and obsession, it seems to me. I'm not sure he's really making the city any safer. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 09:13 1
  - DLC -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:15
- ew, yeah. That's not good. - Callisto Nov 3, 09:13 3
  - also, he's whatever Gotham needs him to be. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 09:17 1
    - this is a great point. you get an A+ in batman as well. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:20
  - At. All. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:16
- What Happens in the Batcave, Stays in the Batcave. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:12
- Criminals are a suspicious lot. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:11 2
  - Of course they're suspicious! That should read "superstitious". -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:12 1
    - "Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot", Wayne remarks, "so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts." -- (link) - Mop Nov 3, 09:13
- Batman, like superman, but more black, and less powers. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:11
- Batman: The World's Greatest Detective. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:11
[deleted] 3
- Mad Magazine? Cracked? -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:10 2
  - Sounds more like Ranger Rick. -- nm - Cuzzombie Todd Nov 3, 09:12 1
    - Or the Atlantic. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:15
can I first on ST? -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:08 3
