True. Tim has always been exceptional.

However, if you've caught Batman and have him in custody, your single biggest roadblock is gone. You know who he is. You know he's Bruce Wayne.

Digging out more evidence after you know this should be considerably easier.

Batman carries with him at most times quite a few objects that are legally restricted or illegal. Explosives, knockout gas, throwing weapons, breaking and entering devices, etc. His vehicles are often full of illegal items as well.

Most of these if prosecuted would result in fines, however, not jail time. His refusal to carry or use firearms is actually a good thing in these cases.

"Vigilantism" in and of itself isn't illegal, because term is rather broad. However, in order to engage in vigilantism, one usually must engage in multiple illegal acts. Breaking and entering, assault, battery, unlawful detention of 'criminals', etc.

Bats has also been responsible for a considerable amount of property destruction, though he usually ends up secretly paying for the repairs later.

So, aside from whatever illegal materials he's caught carrying, it boils down to "what can the Gotham justice system prove that he did?"

At this point, it's no different than having to prove anyone else of a physical crime. You scour crime scenes for evidence, you interview witnesses, you trace money. it would be difficult because Batman tends to be very good at hiding these sort of things, but not impossible - remember that Tim Drake as a mere college student figured out who Batman was all by himself, before he became Robin.

I dunno. Her face seems all wrong for Emma Frost.

Oh noes I made a body part comment...

Also, Rourke, as well as exposing his chest, very nearly drops his pants. His low-riders are set far enough down that we can tell he's not wearing undergarments.

Well, according to Grevioux, who was the originator of the story, he'd come up with the concept by blending several childhood ideas with his experiences with interracial dating.

And White Wolf's "style" is hardly THEIR creation. They ripped off other people as much as other people rip them off.

At the time of the original Underworld, Kate Beckinsale was a couple with actor Michael Sheen, who was playing Lucien. In fact, she had his child.

Soon after, she became a couple with director Len Wiseman.

Note that Underworld 2 starred Beckinsale and was directed by Wiseman. Sheen did not appear except in re-used footage.

Underworld 3 was a prequel and had Sheen return as Lucien, but Beckinsale and Wiseman were not involved in this movie.

I'm betting, maybe, that Sheen WON'T be in the fourth movie, if Beckinsale is in it. And not just because Sheen's character died.



Underworld was pretty much a creation of Kevin Grevioux, Len Wiseman, and Danny McBride. McBride, at least, was involved in the writing of all the films so far.

How do you rotate something that only has one "sticky" side?

If you did manage to rotate it, the side that sticks to the wall is now pointed at a different wall.

Of course it's going to fly off and try and stick to that new wall.

I'm wondering if the shotgun's manufacturers either paid product placement fees or just provided the shotgun & FRAG-12 warhead prop as a form of advertisement.

A few thousand requests for equipment from field units after seeing the movie might be of interest to the military purchasing folks.

The Incredibles were closer to a Fantastic Four analogue.

Who, in turn, really just represent the four classical elements:

- Mr Fantastic/Reed Richards = Elastigirl/Helen Parr = Water

- Invisible Girl/Susan Storm = Violet Parr = Air

- The Thing/Ben Grimm = Mr. Incredible/Bob Parr = Earth

- The Human Torch/Johnny Storm = Dash Parr = Fire

The weakest analogue being Dash, of course.

The Ultra Mode graphics have altered the appearance of some stuff, depending on what graphics level you have your game set to.

Most notably the Slow Fields look very different, some say really ugly.

I HAVE DONE MY MANLY DUTY AND SEEN THE EXPENDABLES.

I am now 2000% more manly.

MPS, Inc. has got to be happy. They make the Auto Assault 12 automatic shotgun featured in the film. Terry Crews was basically a one man walking advertisement for them.

The FRAG-12 shotgun-launched warhead is a real bit of military tech as well.

The US military is at his time field testing the AA-12 and FRAG-12. I wonder how much the film will make an impact on their final decision on whether or not to buy.

Yeah, some of the mashups were pretty creatively dull. Just sticking two characters on a page doesn't count!

They've always been that way. The visible model of the ramps are just slightly higher than their actual bounding box.

Some of the desk counters are the same way.

If you have to question why seeing The Expendables will make you 2000% more Manly, you will probably never TRULY understand the answer anyhow.

Karen Traviss kinda had the same idea expressed in her Star Wars books. Jedi being blind or simply wrong, and too convinced of their own superiority to realize it. She even went as far as to state that it wasn't LOVE that the Jedi should have been forbidding of their padawans, it should have been OBSESSION they should have been keeping an eye out for.

She's hated by a large percentage of the Jedi fanbase, naturally.

On the other hand, the Mandalorian fanbase loves her, as she made them total Mary Sues in her books.
