What is unleashed from reading The Silmarillion and watching the Hobbit around the same time.

[darkenemyoftheworld]

I AM FREE.

LONG HAVE I BEEN IMPRISONED IN THE VOID BY MY ACCURSED SIBLINGS, UNTIL A FOOLISH YOUNG MORTAL LIKE YOU, HAVING BECOME ENAMOURED OF MY GLORY HAVE RELEASED ME FROM MY CAGE. YOU HAVE RESTORED MY MIGHT TO THAT WHICH IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING OF ALL THINGS AND PLACED ME FAR BEYOUND THE REACH OF EVEN MY FATHER, THE ONE. FOR THAT I SHALL YOU LET YOU ALONE SURVIVE WHEN I REDUCE ALL WORLDS TO DUST AND RECREATE THEM AGAIN IN MY IMAGE. BUT WE CAN DISCUSS OUR PLANS LATER, I WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO ALL THE FOOLS HERE WHO WILL SOON FALL BEFORE ME.

I AM MELKOR, HE WHO IS CALLED MORGOTH BAUGLIR, THE ONE TRUE LORD OF THE INFINTE DARKNESS, CREATOR OF ALL THINGS THAT ARE DEEMED "EVIL", DISPOILER OF ARDA, THE ETERNAL TERROR THAT DWELLS IN THE HEARTS OF ELVES, DWARVES AND MEN...

MY MUNDANE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MOST AMUSING TO DROP ME UPON THE DESCENDANTS OF MY LONG-HATED FOES AND CERTAIN SERVENTS OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. ALSO TO PUNISH A MINION OF MY OWN FOR HIS DISGRACEFUL FAILURES IN MY ABSENCE. THE GREAT NIGHTMARE OF THE PAST HAS RETURNED TO INFLICT HIS VENGEANCE UPON YOU ALL. SO GO ON, START SCREAMING.

Oh, please! Killer Croc's had bowel movements that're scarier than you!

WHAT WAS THAT YOU WERE SAYING, GARISH FOOL

[inmateincharge]

It's certainly impressive, I'll give you that, but the cape-wearing weirdo in Metropolis could do that without the carpentry tool!

Granted he's not that scary, but come on, you Gotham goons aren't much to brag about. It took some serious power to take this guy down, and you and your friends get your asses handed to you on a regular basis by some spoiled rich kid with a bat fetish.

[inmateincharge]

Oh, sure, he could probably splatter me all over the nearest wall without trying, but that doesn't make him scary! Besides, it's fun to take people like that down a peg! [He's not even going to dignify that "spoiled rich kid" comment with a response - people who underestimate Batman (or himself, for that matter) tend to find out why he's feared by people who are significantly more powerful than he is.]
