I like it with the blue. I think it would be pretty rad if we got a blue Batman again.
I dunno, there's nothing really offensive about that costume to me.

Oh good, I think we can cut the cake now.
Is this why there was cake at work this morning?
Didn't it say, "someone on the internet was bitching about Batman" written in chocolate icing? It should have.
I got in late today; there were only two pieces left so I don't know. Maybe.
I mean, in terms of the other movie suits, this one's pretty good. No nipples, doesn't look like it's made from rubber, and Affleck apparently ate Arnold Schwarzenegger to gain his powers for this role.
Guys! Guys, guys, guys! Someone fixed the colours on that pic. Turns out, it's not Batman at all!
IT'S CATMAN!
...Actually, that would not be a bad look for Catman if he were ever to turn up on film.Guys! Guys, guys, guys! Someone fixed the colours on that pic. Turns out, it's not Batman at all!

I'll say it here, @ThatNickGuy. I've lost count on how many times these little posts of yours have made my morning/afternoon/evening/whatever. Just wanted to say that.Guys! Guys, guys, guys! Someone fixed the colours on that pic. Turns out, it's not Batman at all!

Regarding internet freak-out-about-unreleased-stuff-ness, I think I've mentioned this before, but my very first real brush with this community was arguing with JCM how it wasn't the end of the world that they put flames on Optimus Prime when his first pics were leaked for the first Bay movie.

Hah, were you around for the 20 page "Yugioh is better than Shakespeare" throwdown?
I need a summary of this because what.

Oh, some other argument was going on and I offhandedly made a disparaging comparison to Yugioh having to do with its artistic merit. JCM promptly brooked no unkind word spoken about his favorite epic based on a children's card game, and a debate ensued which came around to the point where I had him saying, in as many words, that Yugioh had more artistic merit than the works of Michaelangelo, Shakespeare and Beethoven combined. Also he kept editing his posts after I replied to them to try to make me look bad (The forum software used back then didn't even mark "this post was edited" and didn't quote in quote blocks by default, you had to basically copy and paste your quote manually), and got caught doing it by a half dozen people including myself. Worst of all it kept going around and around in circles (again, JCM mostly using circular logic)... hence... 20 pages.
The only argument I've been in that went longer was in the infamous "The Americanization of the UK" thread that turned into a 93 page cutthroat battle royale over gun control, health care, and capitalism vs socialism in general.
Those were heady days and I had a lot less responsibility, so I could spend all day typing out walls of text.
Those wars of words between you and JCM were absolutely epic sometimes.
We need a "hindsight's a bitch" rating.
Give him all the flame decals in the world, hearing Peter Cullen scream GIVE ME YOUR FACE is when my dreams truly died.
... I'm just stunned anyone could think Yugioh has artistic merit. Its narrative is a complete disaster, even if you allow that all the "drama" centers around a children's card game.
It sounds like JCM had even more time than you did though. In fact, it may have been you guys who unknowingly convinced me to stop getting into forum arguments (here and elsewhere) that involved paragraphs and essays and shit, because that just wasn't what I needed to be doing with my time.

Oh yeah. I used to be downright vitriolic. I wouldn't say there was a rivalry though. Not between JCM and I anyway. The UK thread was an all-hands free-for-all.
Sigh... those were the halcyon days (or so I've read).

It was certainly a different time. Heck, even I got into an argument with JCM.

That's kinda what JCM did. Whatever your position, he'd find the other side of it and latch on like a bulldog.
Seriously, Yugioh? I mean, look, I like a good argument but… Yugioh?
Yes... IN AMERICA.

And this even predated Yugioh Abridged, so we're talking full on legit unadulterated 4kids Yugioh.
Oh, 4Kids Yugioh was plenty adulterated.
I'm just baffled someone would defend the plot holes, the stupid ancient Egypt backstory, the ridiculous character designs, the stoic personalities, the dub ... there really is nothing of merit to that show.
