Edmond Dantes, Gatsby, The Batman:
Obsession, Wealth (means), Social Status, Villains... Gadgets...
...
Uhhhhh. Okay.
Well, he's got a point.
Anyone want to explain this to me?
He is drawing a comparision between those three characters.
Although I wouldn't call any of the characters in Gatsby's world villians exactly. But that's just me.
Wouldn't Inspector Gadget be a better comparison?
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and see if I can explain it: this guy is really fucking high.
I think the confusion is in how are we supposed to respond. Do you want us to agree or disagree, to draw similar comparisons to other characters, are you trying to discredit Batman as an original character(if so I might flag this as offensive). Clarification is needed or else this will turn into another thread of homo erotic jokes and pictures of Ryan Gosling. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
"homo erotic jokes and pictures of Ryan Gosling."
I'm fine with that. Although I'd prefer we pick a different man. Maybe we should vote.
I'm a Ryan Reynolds man myself
I'll try to stay on topic.

Yeah, I just watched Drive. I didn't like it. I feel like the director must have kept yelling at him, "Stop acting. Stop it. Stand there. Look blank. Channel The Professional, but without subtlety. Perfect. Roll crazy soundtrack that totally doesn't fit this film. Can we get a horrible jacket on set? Okay, that's good... and...ACTION!"
Ah, I love that craggly motherfucker. Who would be surprised if it turned out that Waits was the Batman? Not me.
If they make a movie of The Dark Knight Returns, I want Tom Waits as the Joker and Ron Pearlman as Batman.
For years I thought Ron Perlman *was* Tom Waits - based on his part in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
I still say Adam West for sheer campiness and the fact that he is out of his fucking mind is the best Batman. I like the trailer for the new movie though.
Ok. The thread was about the comparisons in their lives. I love all three and realized they were the same person. I was just wondering if anyone else saw the comparison or had some comparisons of their own to share. Or you could continue with your homo-eroticsomethingorother.

Plus. Jim Caveiezeeial (sp) could play all three pretty well.

Gatsby's "gadgets"...was that his car?
Fail. All of this fail.
