I FUCKING HATE "The Dark Knight" FANBOYS!!!!

In the imdb FAQ, the Batman comic books are referred as "kiddie comic books".

"Batman: The Animated Series" is referred as a "Saturday Morning cartoon".

People are denying that Jack Nicholson and Richard Moll ever existed.

They are saying that this movie should win Oscars, and that it's the best comic book movie ever.

And you know what?

I FUCKING HATE THAT!!!!!!!!

1-"kiddie comic books"!? you SO got to be fucking kidding me!

There is NOTHING more mature and adult right now that Batman comic books. "The Dark Knight" does NOT make Batman comic books"kiddie", as it's the comics and ONLY the comic books the main point of reference for Batman.

And I'm talking about the regular, ongoing comic books, NOT just the stuff Frank Miller and Alan Moore wrote.

2-Calling the great, dark, norish "The Animated Series" a Saturday Morning cartoon is pissing all over Paul Dini and Bruce W. Timm's hard work.

That cartoon was far from kiddified. It gave us the best Batman ever. It defined the Batman characters for the small screen. ANYONE who calls it "a Saturday Morning cartoon" needs to have its head examined.

3-Jack Nicholson played the Joker. Stop denying it. He played a GOOD Joker (good enough to warrant an Oscar nomination, no less). In my opnion, he was even better and more true to the comics than Ledger.

He brought the Joker to a whole new level in an era where the main refrerent for the Joker was Cesar Romero.

And Jack Nicholson accomplished far more in his life than Ledger. The Shining, A Few Good Men, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Witches of Eastwick, Hoffa, As Good As it Gets versus...Brokeback Mountain and the Brothers Grimm. Give me a break.

4-Richard Moll also played a GOOD Two Face and there's no reason for denying him, either.

He worked hard for the role and played it very true to the comics.

5-This movie is too, you know, "comic booky", too nerdy, geeky, fanboyish, to win an Oscar.

Where are the good, quiet, independent films? Michel Gondry, Charlie Kaufman, Paul Thomas Anderson, the Coen Brothers, Alexander Payne, Ang Lee, Wong Kar Wai, THESE people deserve an Oscar.

6-It's not the best comic book movie ever. That would be "Spider-Man". Without that movie, this movie wouldn't even exist. Spidey still reigns supreme.

You know why?

Sam Raimi isn't bound by realism. "The comic book had an alien symbiote? Then our movie will have an alien symbiote! The comic book had a half-man half-lizard? We inject Dylan Baker with lizard DNA, and presto! The comic book had a guy made of sand? Coming right up!"

Raimi knows that comic book accuracy is more important than realism.

Also, Spider-Man fans acknowledge the existance of the 90s cartoon, as well as the comic book. They don't have Oscar delusions about those movies, either.
