American, of course.
Proud...American.
But enough about me. Shouldn't you be reading up on the Torah, since the Muslims are gearing up to take over your soft, weak, inbred country?
Or are you just figuring that they'll execute all the gays so you won't have long to live any way?

You ancestors lived on reservations did they? Thats the only way you could have an American heritage!
Muslims taking over my country? I'm sorry, it was your country that had a bunch of planes crashed into it and couldnt defend themselves!

This thread is now AWESOME to read! Thank you Cunty and basams. As for dissing this "JLA" concept before it gets off the ground, it all boils down to having had enough experience with specific media to being able to predict a relatively accurate outcome. There was no guiding light behind this project. No sincere purpose or art. It was quite plainly being made with no express soul or reason other than to try and jump the gun on the rumored Marvel AVENGERS/ULTIMATES movie. The cast was flimsy, the so-called 'plot' even worse. A concept as rich, historic, and epic as the Justice League of America needs to be viewed on the Peter Jackson/LORD OF THE RINGS scale. It should be approached with respect and awe...not Happy Meal and cell phone tie-ins. Make an epic trilogy worthy of the original Star Wars. Substance and long-term financial goals, instead of style and short-term quick cash. Almost twenty years later, and especially after Bale, you can see that Keaton did suck.
His Bruce Wayne was a nerdy guy with glasses, not a millionaire playboy. His Batman was a short guy who mostly stood around and let guys like Nicholson, Walken and DeVito out act him.
He really wasn't a good Batman. As I've said before, Bale is obviously the Neal Adams/Year One era Batman. And, in that, Keaton is the Golden Age original: psychotic, mysterious, and simple. You can't compare the two, because that would be like comparing Neal Adam's Batman to the basic Bob Kane-drawn 1940's version. Doesn't make sense...

No, it boils down to no real information being available. Neither the cast, the story or anything for that matter, was confirmed, yet everyone has started saying its shit. At least Pariah, for all his faults, has read a script of a story that has been cast, written & filmed and yet he has been mocked for prejuding the film before its release!
The fact its been "tabeled" is a perfect showing that nothing had been confirmed. How many rewrites and recastings have films like Batman, Superman and Spiderman gone through in the past before the films hit the big screen?
Just on the initial internet reports, everyone had decided that this is most definetly the film that would have been made, not that it was just a possible film that could be made!
And as I said, Transformers was prejudged as a bad movie by many purely based on Michael Bay, yet so many people ended up enjoying that didnt they!

Oh, and G-Man...blah...blah...married....gay... Still living with your mom, Euro-rex? But anyway... Bale is obviously the Neal Adams/Year One era Batman. And, in that, Keaton is the Golden Age original: psychotic, mysterious, and simple.
See, the problem is that I got none of that from Keaton. His Batman didn't come off as psychotic and mysterious, just absent-minded and introverted. Basically, Tim Burton turned Batman into yet-another "patented Tim Burton misunderstood childlike genius." Don't get me wrong. In the right role (Beetlejuice, Pacific Heights, Out of Sight, Jackie Brown) Keaton's a very good actor. He just wasn't a good Batman.
