I really liked Signs until I started reading these forums.

This really depends on the interpretation of the Joker. In The Dark Knight (Nolan's), he very clearly is sane and has a specific agenda that he can outline and explain rationally. You can see how everything connects. In the end, he convinces Harvey Dent to join his side, because it -can- make sense.

In the Animated Series, it's all for the lulz.

THAT is too much "D'awww". Like, there should be a legal limit.

Neither did I in the least. It was very basic for me. Then I went online and read people saying something like "Wait... there's a dream inside another dream!? WTHeck!?"

I honestly believe that people that have played point-and-click adventures have an advantage. They spend their time training to understand the logic of insanity.

While I certainly agree that the Joker and Batman are overhyped to a degree, they all do have a reason to be scared of the Joker: He's smarter than all of them. Watch any movie that has a multitude of villains (World's Finest, Under the Red Hood, Dark Knight). The Joker will always come out on top, and not just because of plot armor. Much like Jeremiah Berek of 7th Sea, the fact that he's so far out there grants him outside thinking that allows him to access strategies most other people can't conceive. He is the dark mirror of Batman: He can win if he doesn't have time to plan.

Holy Kama Sutra of gaming. That's genius, and I'm going to try it.

I felt the musical number in The Killing Joke was very well done. Seriously.

It just takes a good writer and some faith in the audience.

Well, it was done in a comedy series that was all for the lulz, but I don't think that it was ever stated to be against canon. The rule was lampshading how the heads of comic companies care more about the character that sells than story integrity.

Still, I love it.

Funny note: In the limited edition Dead Girl run, they actually explain that: In the Marvel Universe, the celestial powers that be can hear public outcry for their most beloved people. When the cry gets loud enough, they arrange events to allow for a deceased one's revival.

Yes, "Back by popular demand" is actually a canonical idea in the Marvel-verse. And for that, I absolutely love them.

That's probably my favorite fact about this game. That the most important battle in world history is being fought in Rhode Island, while every other state/country in the world seems to have very little opinion on the matter.

e-GADS!

... Did you see the image in my OP? I specifically gave a nod to the "Yes, we can" vote the Red Hood would have given.

It's not really about Batman. It's basic philosophy explained in terms that Batman fans can understand. Like, it says "This school of philosophy blames Batman, this one blames the Joker, and the misogynists blame Barbara Gordon." And then it ends.

What's annoying is that each chapter was written by a group/single person completely independent of the other chapters. Essentially the story's editor sent a bunch of Batman-esque questions to qualified people and published their answers site unseen. While I understand the merit of that, I stopped halfway through. At least two-three chapters used their chosen question to avoid the actual question and give a basic introduction of Utilitarianism. The redundancy got grating and hurt the presentation.

If you see it and have jingle change, go for it. I wouldn't say to jump out and buy it now, though.

F'ing Renaissance.

Don't ask this guy.
