More or less just as good as the first one. Expect the same kind of humor and even more breaking-the-wall-but-not-really wink-to-the-audience references.

For me I can deal with the body tattoos. The metal teeth. Whatever.

But the "Damaged" written on his forehead is like something an 18 year old girl would get tattooed on her back to make her parents mad.

So I watched the new Godzilla, and basically anything not involving Bryan Cranston was boring

Pacific Rim/Cloverfield > Godzilla

Yeah, I can deal with the "Hahaha's" but the "Damaged" is seriously eye-rolling.

"You seem nervous... You want to know how I got this grill?"

-Hmm. You bought it from a store near a mall?

"Um. Yeah. You still seem nervous. Want to know how I got these tattoos?"

-I'm guessing from a tattoo shop near the same place where you bought your grill?

"Let me show you a magic trick. I'm going to make my body hair disappear"


I get it. The Joker can't be the same Joker. But this design is nearly twenty years too late. It is super funny and out there, but so not for now. There is nothing clever about the design. The tattoos could work, but not "Damaged" on the forehead. No visceral impact. And I get the ode to the Killing Joke, but it falls so flat.

Could be an awesome stunt. Maybe this goon is just a fan of the Joker, a fanatic who wants to be "The Joker", but gone wrong.

Let's see how this plays out.

Seinfeld and Curb are basically the only funny things outside of Louie, The Office, and some other HBO sitcoms to air on TV in the past 20 years.

It's a big step down from some of the amazing animated Batman films we've seen when Bruce Timm was still involved with these DC movies, but it's not bad at all though. Just don't go in expecting Mask of the Phantasm levels of awesomeness, or my other two favorite Batman animated movies (Under the Red Hood and Return of the Joker uncut). I think comic fans will be annoyed that they've stripped away so much of the Court of Owls storyline and taken so many liberties with it. It's easy to hate this movie if you come in with certain expectations.

On its own merits though, the story is decent, the voice cast is fine (though there are some people who seem to hate the casting for these Damian centric movies) and the animation quality is great. And the action sequences...they really deliver big time. There's even some decent characterization in this movie too. Plus, it's got Nightwing.

A solid 7 from me.
I also watched Batman VS Robin recently. I agree with this review. The best thing about Batman VS Robin was the fight scenes and Nightwing (side note: we need more animated Nightwing). By the way, did you notice that Kevin Conroy voiced Bruce Wayne's father in this movie? I thought that was pretty cool.

I'll give you South Park, but I don't think of it as a sitcom. For the same reason I am not including Colbert/Stewart/Oliver/etc. as they aren't sitcoms. All that stuff is funny, though.

I do like Always Sunny, so that one should be on my list. Arrested Development was pretty awesome too.
