I have to admit that I really disliked his Batman/Bruce. Most of it has to do with the script, sincemass murderer Batman is a no go for me. They did that better in the Nolan movies, where he tried to avoid killing people, but did it if there was no other option left, like when he took out the Truckdriver and Talia at the end of TDKR. Apart from that, Keaton had never the looks for the role, in my eyes. Sure, he did the crazy thing pretty well and it fit into the world of the movies, but he was too small and weird looking. I kinda liked some of his acting in the suit, but overall I am happy that he only did two movies. Again, most faults I see with the movies are coming from Burton, but Keaton didn't blew me away either. Still, would've loved to see what he would've done with the role under another (read better) director/writers hand.
The problem I have with the shows choice of villains is that they will water them down. They cannot do Pyg justice in a kids show. He will be made kiddy friendly and that kinda destroys his purpose. I love it that they choose him, sicne he is utterly underutilized, but its an odd fit.
@iaconpoint For me the only disturbing thing about that was the low quality. Urgh... Happy if you liked it, but too me it was rubbish. R.I.P. was also disturbing and dark, but you have to read Black Glove before it, to get the full effect. Oh, how I loved Black Glove and R.I.P. Batman City Of Crime, also! A great book that is sadly underappreciated and relatively unknown. It was sooooooo good! Very dark and hopeless! If you don't know it yet, you should check it out. Its by David Lapham and it was a very controversial story, but I loved it.
John. He is easily one of the most dangerous men in the DCU, when it comes to magic. That he is a total bastard helps, of course. As much as I kinda dug what I read about Hellstrom, he seems like a cheap knockoff of the Hellblazer.
Please give me a John Constantine statue, DC!!! I am reading Hellblazer for more than 10 years religiously and I own every single issue! I NEED A STATUE! Action Figures do, sadly, nothing for me! (Too small and I don't need the joints, prefer a cool pose) I want a nice Kotobukiya statue, which celebrates the end of Hellblazer and the start of his new 52 series. Pretty please?
Like I posted in another thread... If you like smart Superman you all should check out the run by Kurt Busiek, especially Camelot Falls. Here, Supes uses super intelligence a lot. He reads multiple books at the same time, which are all written on the molecules of the paper of another book, he holds as Clark, while on a plane. That was pretty cool. I think it was a new Superpower that manifested in that run, so I don't know if he normally is that smart.

Since my father died shortly after my birth and my mother was away most of my childhood, I could relate to that aspect of the character very much. For me personally , Bruce is the character I relate the most to in all of fiction. I am somebody who is known for a lot of brooding, I am not very open about my feelings and I find it very hard to show my love to people. When I have a goal I try to achieve it in a very unrelenting way, like Bruce does and I am also a bit arrogant sometimes, like he is. I am also a loner and can be very harsh to other people, even if I might not really mean to. Thats why I always loved Batman most and cannot relate to Peter Parker or Clark kent that well. I love both characters but see them more like someone I would like to share more attributes with. Emotionally Bruce has a lot of the same problems I have, so I understand his struggles with that very well.
