The problem with Loeb's work is that he basically writes the same story every time. The Long Halloween is brilliant, but he has rewritten it so often that it takes the shine off of it.

It's based off of the Tumbler design, although it does remind me of the dropship from Aliens, which is a plus in my opinion.

Hush is one of the best Batman stories written if you ask me though.

It probably doesn't help that I didn't read Dark Knight Returns until much, much later after the entire comic book industry went to more darker themes (i'm only 29 now). I imagine if I read it earlier it would have some more impact. That and I hate the artwork.

Hush's story was complete crap. It made no sense at all. The only saving grace was Jim Lee's beautiful artwork, and that is typically what is remembered most about that story, not the actual story itself.

The best time for Batman comics was the late 80s/early 90s when Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle were on the books. Their work was spectacular.

Meh whatever I liked it. I do agree though that Grant was a great Batman storyteller however I think that one of his best known works (Arkham Asylum) is somewhat overrated to be honest.

That's really stupid and I'm not just saying that since I absolutely hate the Steelers and everything and anything associated with them (though I don't hate coach Mike Tomlin for some odd reason). I wouldn't have a problem with it if he was just a nameless character or named something else but to specifically show "Ward" on it are we supposed to believe that he's up and left the NFL for whatever rival football league involves Gotham City?

I realize I'm probably making too big a deal out of it but not a fan of that.

The trailer itself looks cool Bane isn't the easiest to understand but I was able to make out his lines ok, not so much in the leaked prologue though. Hopefully his dialog is clear in the actual film of this will be one I'll need subtitles for.

That's Grant Morrison, not Alan Grant.

Question about Knightfall:

I thought it was a car accident. Didn't they smash up one of Bruce's cars to explain it.

Horses are more of a Superman problem.

Didn't they use Polo Accident as an excuse in Batman Begins? Maybe I'm mis-remembering.

The Legendary Pictures studio head is a part owner of the Steelers, so that explains why they're being used (and the player names for recognition). Probably got them at a discount for that sequence.
