*Bane Dinosaur*

Silly characters can become great and compelling in the hands of a writer who clearly knows what she is doing.

I was about to say that the best thing to happen to Bane ever was putting him in Secret Six

Oh, I know. I saw Two-Face's giant penny there as well.

Yeah, my explanation was aimed at Dovey. "Oh, there's the dinosaur; they must be in the Batcave" is one of those thoughts that nicely illustrates the gulf between regular comic book readers and the rest of the world though.

Indulge me further: How did the dinosaur get in the Batcave? (I mean I could easily google/wiki all of this stuff, but as I said, indulge me)

Caleb · « **Reply #4555 on:** 12 Feb 2011, 14:36 »

Batman used to take trophies from after he beat up criminals.

The dinosaur came from a battle on Dinosaur Island.

The giant penny was from "The Penny Plunderer" though in the animated series it was from when Two Face tried to tie Batman to it and flip it so it either crushed him to death or just broke all his bones from the impact.

So apparently Batman used to just take shit just because.

Josefbugman · « **Reply #4556 on:** 12 Feb 2011, 15:42 »

Well at some point during the 60's muggings stopped happening and novelty crimes become huge. Since they all run together a bit even batman needed to take trophies to remind himself which kind of becostumed tosspot he was dealing with this week. "Is this two face, no face, po face or O face?".

Also, as a minor side point to the current superhero pontificating, why is it always the heros that get the blame for criminals going loose? I mean surely the justice and prison services must hold some culpability for all of it.

The fact that everyone had already answered the Dinosaur question before I got in the thread makes me insanely happy. I thank you all.

I have met David Prowse also. He is a nice man.

Hey, neither do I, but fawning over the gadgets and their related developments is the next best thing to owning one.

I really like that. Part of why I utterly despise mobile devices is that they're almost always awful user experiences. I'm not sure it'd be faster or better than a well trained t9 dictionary though.

8Pen opinions

I downloaded this last night after looking at it, and while I am a little bit slower now, it actually is a bit easier to use and I'm already speeding up with a lot of words I commonly write, also the way they included the commonly used phrases (as gestures you make without the inner circle touch) is extremely convenient. I am liking it a lot so far.
