I think he had depression.

That's what I meant.

Not that there is only one form of mental illness = "a loon" ;)

I doubt playing the Joker would have an impact on his mental health just casue the Joker is a loon. I can understand him getting stressed casue it's a demanding role

Well what did you mean?

That he suffered from depression :?

And generally speaking, Yi was implying anyway that there is only one form of mental illness: A complete mental case.

Actually, if he was depressed, playing an intensely dark, psychotic character for hours a day, weeks on end, could have had a negative affect, and altered his personality. Mental illness is very dangeous ground unchecked.

Maybe he smoked a spliff, or worse yet, took ecstasy!!!

No doubt Rombo thinks he had a sip of Kaliber 8)

That's a cool looking poster, thanks. I still much prefer the old Joker campaign promo material though.

It's a shame Batman has turned into RoboCop, though.

LOL. I'm sure he hasn't.

Yeah, that's why I hate live-action superhero movies. In the comics, a costume looks 'good', but when they try to do it for live-action, it usually just looks crap. Spidey's costume was OK, but pretty much all the other superhero costumes really sucked when in movies or on TV.

Iron Man obviously doesnt have this problem, nor does the Hulk, but with Batman they've never got it right (and I doubt it's possible), and The Xmen and Superman also looked 'uncomfortable'...

Batman's costume in all the batman films looks excellent, IMO. Superman looks okay too.

The X-Men ones are a wee bit ropey, but that's good enough.

Batman's costume in all the Batman films?!

Even the ones where it has nipples?! LOL :D

The costume in Batman Begins actually made sense, because they explained it all - what bits were what, where it came from, what it did, etc.

It looks pretty good in that poster up above too...

I dont know, but with Batman, the mask always looks like crap, and overall it always looks like the whole thing is mighty uncomfortable to go around jumping roofs, swinging on batlines, and fighting bad guys.

Also, I dont really like the whole 'let's make some fake muscles' stuff, on the suit...

It always looks really 'leathery', and although I've never worn leather pants, and I never will, but I'm pretty sure it isnt very comfortable.

Mark, you wear leather outfits with masks a lot. What's it like!?

Don't ask me, you gimp!

I thought that the Burton Batman costume was fine.

Of course it is. Since when were superhero costumes supposed to be practical? :D

It's padding. I imagine Christian Bale buffed up too. I thought the suits were made out or rubber not leather. I think you're being way too fussy, they're just suits.

I presume you mean pants in the American sense of the word? We've never seen Batman in leather underpants :D

You criticise the costumes in the X-men films?! They actually made far more sense having generic uniforms, then the stupid shit that they wear in the comics. In the first film they even took a jab it, "What, you'd prefer yellow spandex?"

Let's take a look at an example:-
Lady Mastermind. How fucking impractical would this costume be in battle? Her boobs would keep popping out.

Apparently, Michael Keaton's costume was so heavy he could barely lift his leg.
