We used to watch it here and there back in college and scream some of the truly terrible zingers at each other. "RUBBAH LIPS ARE IMMUNE TO YOUR POISON, IVY" being my personal favorite. But like The Joker, Poison Ivy could be a genuinely creepy villain if handled the right way. <BR/><BR/>And yes, Uma's hot. And I'd totally even forgotten that Nicole Kidman was in a Batman movie!

I was always more interested in the world created around him - story, setting, stakes, love interests, and of course - villains. <BR/><BR/>Apart from the X-Men, who have enough varied heroes for films to b e made through the millenium, the villains are always the most colorful and interesting things about superhero movies. <BR/><BR/>For that reason alone (though other reasons come to mind as well), Batman Returns is my favorite. Though I'm nowhere near as big a Pfeiffer fan as Mr. Rogers, her Catwoman is one of my all-time favorite screen villains, and maybe even screen perf's in general.<BR/><BR/>Since Nolan and co. are ignoring the previous films anyway, I say any Batman villain is fair game. Eckhart is already going the Two-Face route, and any of the other previously incarnated baddies could be reimagined with the awesome grittiness this new franchise seems to be striving for. I'd love to see some hot young actress (Emily Blunt?) put a dark, grounded twist on Poison Ivy (Sorry, Uma, but Batman and Robin is one of THE ABSOLUTE WORST movies I've ever seen. That great character deserves some cinematic justice.) <BR/><BR/>As for the utility belt, I'd have Starbucks on tap. If morning push-ups didn't do the trick, an extra bold dose of Sumatra would surely get me amped up to hunt criminals. <BR/><BR/>PS: There was a character in the '60's TV show called Sheba, Queen of Diamonds. I don't know if she's a legit villain from the comics, or if a film could make her anything but ridiculous, but it's a thought.Kurtis Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946031309738374597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-25698840498250930182008-02-15T15:02:00.000-05:002008-02-15T15:02:00.000-05:00Hello!
