Watching Batman Forever again with Jim Kirk over at lastvoyages

[batmanschmatman]

You know, it really is kind of like what would happen if they ever made a movie about us back home. Actually, this is more accurate then anything they would throw together at home, since I'm pretty sure they'd invent some crazy backstory and new identity for me and Bruce, on top of the characterization issues. I still don't really know what they were going for with that. If they wanted to stick me in the franchise, they could have at least have made me act like me. And picked an actor who actually looks like me.

Although if we're really being serious? I don't think I'd want to watch a movie that was actually accurate. The comic books are freaky enough as is, I don't need to actually watch some of it over again in high definition with surround sound.

And by the way, if Jim never lets me live this down? This is your fault.

Dude, you should see the movie they made about my life.

[batmanschmatman]

Freaky accurate or "how did this script get approved that's not what I'm actually like" freaky?

[thatscalledsokkastyle]

Definitely the second one.

[batmanschmatman]

Bummer. What's so hard about keeping things true to their source material?

[goodsoldier]

But Dick, you have so many fine choices when it comes to live action media portrayal.

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah, let's not even go there. I had to live in that guy's head for a couple days last year, it was a very strange place.

[goodsoldier]

Of course you did. That's just outstanding. I kind of wish I'd been there.

[arach_nerd]

Chris O'Donnell always struck me as being more like you than Dick anyways.

[batmanschmatman]

Thank you.

[gothamknight]

You can't find anything else to do?

[batmanschmatman]

You'd be surprised how little there is to actually do on the Barge. And I'm actually doing it for more reasons than "we're bored".

[gothamknight]

Humor me.

[ Is the reason "I felt like having an existential crisis", Dick? Because there are more productive ways. ]

[aerialfall]

So you're saying you wouldn't want a movie based off your life at all? Accurate or not, that's still pretty cool.

[batmanschmatman]

I prefer keeping some anonymity.

[aerialfall]

Fair enough. I, on the other hand? Am totally going to get my fifteen minutes of fame somehow.

... I just don't know when. [Let's try never.]

[arach_nerd]

And the guy is blonde. It's completely going against the whole black-haired boy with blue eyes thing Bruce has.

[batmanschmatman]

And, you know, most importantly, it doesn't look like me.

[arach_nerd]

Well, that and it made us aware that there are worse costumes to be seen wearing than shortpants and disco collars.

[leiothrix_lutea]

[See icon. That is all.]

[batmanschmatman]

Hey, it's for a good cause, alright? [Tiny troll mini-me. :|a]

[leiothrix_lutea]

[He knows all of your buttons~ Or at least some of them.

Also PFFFFT] What good cause is that? We don't even get to make out with Uma Thurman until the next one!

[birdcodename]

Better than reruns of America's Most Wanted. You can't call in from the Barge.

YOUUUU we should throw these two at a meme sometime

[batmanschmatman]

I know, that would just be awful. Having all that information and not being able to tell anyone about it? I think I'd go crazy.

HELLO HELLO :3 And yes. For sure.

[birdcodename]

Being on a prison ship for months hasn't? [Half-smiling, half-curious.]

[bodilesswarrior]

At least they got your name right.

[she's Oracle. of course she's managed to see Batman and Robin. one day she'll politely ask J'onn to scrub it from her brain.]
