“The Best” -Vs- “My Favorite”: Episode III: Super Heroes And Super Sequels
Alright, Kiddies…
…Let Us Play This Little Game Again.
Y’all Seemed To Enjoy These…
…So Why Not Go For Another, Eh!?
Why Not, Indeed.
😉
So…
…Today I Wanna Talk…
“SUPER HEROES”
…With Y’all.
I’m Going To Do The BIG TWO (2) For Our Third Episode.
Namely…
“BATMAN“
&
“SUPERMAN“
😀
Shall We Officially Begin?!
WE SHALL!!
🙂
*** *** *** *** ***
I’m Going To Begin With “BATMAN” Simply Because This Is The One I Expect To Cause The Most Commotion.
First Thing I Need To Say, Is…
…NO.
NO, I Have NOT Seen…
“THE DARK KNIGHT RISES“
(2012)
…Yet.
I Don’t Tend To Hit The Cinema Anymore…
…So It’s The One “BATMAN” Flick That Has Slipped Through My Proverbial Cracks.
SO…
…This Edition Of…
“THE BEST” -Vs- “MY FAVORITE”
…Must Be Put Into Proper Context.
Based On Those I’ve Seen, I’m Going To Say “THE BEST” Would (Likely) Be Either…
“BATMAN“
(1989)
…Or…
“THE DARK KNIGHT“
(2008)
…Right?!
RIGHT!!
They’re Both Exceptional Flicks, Fo SHO, And I Do Enjoy Them Both…
…BUT…
…Are Either Of Those Flicks…
“MY FAVORITE”
??? ??? ???
??? ???
???
Nope.
So What Is…
“MY FAVORITE”
???????
“BATMAN RETURNS“
(1992)
😀
For My Money…
“BATMAN RETURNS“
…Was…
…By FAR FAR FAR…
“MY FAVORITE”
Period.
To ME…
…It Was Honestly The Darkest Chapter In The Annals Of “BATMAN” History.
MICHELLE PFEIFFER
…As…
“CATWOMAN”
…Was Exceptional!
Especially The Patton-Leather Outfit.
She Was Just So Damned Sexy AND So Damned Viscous!
I LOVED IT.
As For…
DANNY DeVITO
…As…
“THE PENGUIN”
…He Was Literally So Revolting It Was Brilliant.
I Don’t Think Anyone Could Have Played That Part Like He Did.
Period.
AND…
…To Top It All Off…
…You’ve Got MY Favorite “BATMAN” Of The Bunch…
MICHAEL KEATON
!!! !!! !!!
Yes, My Peeps…
I AM A CHILD OF THE ’80s AND ’90s…
…So It’s Only Proper My Loyalties Lay There.
I Saw The 1989 Version Of “BATMAN” On Opening Weekend In 1989…
…And It Was The Same For “BATMAN RETURNS” In 1992.
I Never Thought They’d Be Able To Top The 1989 Installment…
…And Then Came 1992.
I Was Simply Blown Away.
It’s A Feeling I Haven’t Felt Since, In Regard To “SUPERHERO” Flicks.
With “BATMAN RETURNS” I Got Everything I Wanted From The Series.
Period Period.
I Know A Lot Of People STRONGLY Disliked It…
…But There Are A Few Of Us Whom Never Could Get Enough Of It!!!
*** *** *** *** ***
Alright, Kids…
…Moving On Moving On…
…To…
“SUPERMAN“
!!! !!! !!!
With The Selection Of Flicks In The “SUPERMAN” Saga…
…This One Is An EASY No-Brainer.
Which One Would (Likely) Be Considered The Best?!
Well…
…For Most Folks…
…I’d Venture To Say…
“SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE“
(1978)
…Would Be Considered “THE BEST” Of “THE BEST” Of “THE BUNCH”…
…Fo SHO.
BUT BUT BUT…
…My Peeps…
…Does…
“SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE“
…Rank As…
“MY FAVORITE”
??? ???
Nope.
Sorry.
I’m A Firm Believer That…
“SUPERMAN II“
(1980)
…Is Superior.
At Least, It Is For Me.
“SUPERMAN II“
…Gave Me EVERYTHING I Sincerely Wanted From The Whole Franchise.
To Me…
“SUPERMAN II“
…Is…
“MY FAVORITE”
…”SUPERHERO” Flick Of ALL-TIME!!!
I Even Went So Far As To Get The Theatrical Cut Of The Flick On The DVD…
…Then Picked-Up The “RICHARD DONNER CUT” On The Blu-Ray.
“SUPERMAN II“
…Spawned A Couple Halloween’s Worth Of…
“BRADLEY Is SUPERMAN This Year… …Again.”
😉
*** *** *** *** ***
SOOOOOO…
…MY PEEPS…
…WHICH “SUPERHERO” FLICKS Are YOUR FAVORITES?!?!?
I’d LOVE To Know.
I’m Very VERY Curious.
Not Everyone Has The Same Opinion…
…And I’d Love To Know Yours!

Hmm… Didn’t Get Much Sleep Last Night. Oh Flippin’ Well, I Guess… :(
Good Morning, Kiddies.
Well…
…As My Headline Plainly States…
…I Didn’t Sleep Too Well Last Night.
I Think I Have Bronchitis.
I’ve Had A Slowly Forming Cough The Past Couple Days…
…But It Really Started To Get Noticeably Worse Last Night And Into This Morning.
There’s A Rattle In My Chest…
…Sore Throat…
…My Pulse Is WAAAAY Too Damned High…
...(106 BPM At Rest, Actually)...
…AND…
…To Top It All Off…
…I Awoke With A Nose-Bleed.
😦
Sounds Exciting, I Know.
Trust Me, It Is Not.
BUT…
…I Made An Appointment Yesterday To See My Doctor Today.
So That’s Great.
They Never Get Someone In Quickly.
It’s The VA, Ya Know?!
I Call For An Appointment, And Generally Wait Weeks…
…Or Months, Honestly…
…Just To Get The Ole 60-Second Look-Over.
But…
…My Doctor Doctor Is Actually Very Good.
He’s The One Who Finally Figured-Out What Was Really Wrong With My Stomach.
He’s The Doc That Was Able To Stop My Violent Daily Puking Episodes.
Of Course, I’m On Meds For That…
…And Will Be For The Rest Of My Life…
…But The Problem Is Held At Bay.
Can’t Ask For Much More Than That.
Right?!
RIGHT!!!
😉
So Now…
…Here I Sit…
…Rapping With Y’all.
I’ve Got Some HEAVY TUNAGE Playing Softly Softly, At The Moment.
Just Trying To Ease My Way Into The Morning, Ya Know?!
Waking-Up Very Early Does Have Its Perks.
I Always Get The FIRST Cup-O-Joe In The Morning.
For Those Of You Who Don’t Know Joe…
…You Know Him By His Slang Name…
…COFFEE.
Oh, My Lovely Coffee, How I DO Adore Thee.
🙂
I Don’t Dislike Being Up-&-About In The Wee Morning Hours Of The Day.
Not. At. All.
I Just Don’t Like The Feeling Of Being More Tired When I Awaken Than I Was When I Went To Bed.
Today…
…Thus Far…
…This Is One Of Those Types Of Days.
It Was A Good Run, Though.
Four Nights Of Restful Sleep Did A Great Thing For Me.
It Helped To Re-Ground My Mental State.
I Was Simply Sleeping To Little Before…
…And I Was Paying For It With Tortured Thoughts.
Bad Dreams, Both While I Slept AND While I Was Foggishly Awake.
The Mind Can Play Horrid Tricks On A Person.
I’ll Be Speaking With My Doctor About This, Also.
Perhaps He Can Adjust My Meds To Allow For Something To Be Added That Will Help Me Perpetually Sleep Better.
I Hate Medications To The Hilt, But This May Be One Time When They’re Seriously Needed…
…And I Should Just Shut-Up And Accept That Little Tidbit.
I Wanna Thank Y’all, Again.
Thank You For Sticking With Me.
Thank You For The Kind AND Helpful Words.
T’Is Much MUCH Appreciated, My Peeps.
🙂
Anyway…
…I Have Plenty To Work-On This Morning…
…And So…
…Work I Shall.
Y’all Have A Fine Day, Kids.
It’s FRIDAY EVE, After-All.
I’ll Be Attempting To Do The Very Same.
You Can Count-On That.
Fo SHO!
