Advice for future Batman villians
Mr. Improbable and I saw "The Dark Knight" last week and enjoyed it enormously, chaotic and nonsensical mess that it was. Loads of people have weighed in on Heath Ledger's performance, analogies to the war on terror, vigilantism, et cetera, et cetera. I'm not interested in going over that ground again.
I do, however, have a suggestion for any future enemies of the Batman. You want to destroy his credibility? Hack into his Batsuit technology and modify the ears so that when he's frightened or sad, they automatically tuck back and down like Milo's do when he thinks he's in trouble. Because this?
... would be so not intimidating.
You'd probably have to flip Lucius Fox in order to do it, but after the wiretapping maneuver, I'm not so sure but that he'd be willing cut Bruce Wayne down a peg or two.
(Apologies for two Milopix in more-or-less rapid succession. I realize that cute doggie pictures aren't everyone's cup of tea, but what can I say? The little guy's been relevant lately.)
