The Brain

First episode of Dopesick. Seems decent. I've always liked Michael Keaton.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Yeah I'm really glad he's had a bit of a revival because he's terrific (and the best Batman <_<).
Let's bomb Russia!

Shang Chi-starts off excellent. Like Jackie Chan at his peak with just enough special effects to still be within believability. Absolutely great stuff. Such a change from the typical marvel non interactive video game action scenes .
By the ending its just stupid. Takes things much further than marvel and is a nonsensical mess.

Eh? :unsure:
I've seen some professional reviews broadly agree with this.

Nope, the best Batman is Adam West.  :P
I'll grant you Keaton is a decent one, however.

Adam West is the worst Batman, old-timer.  :P

Adam West is the real batman.
All others are edgy reimaginings.

A dark and brooding vigilante makes more sense than a goofy one.

Keaton wasn't all that goofy.  He just came across that way.  Squeaky-voiced Batman didn't work.

Campy Batman > Brooding murderous Batman > Goofy batmen.

Don't make eye contact back away slowly.
PDH!

I don't know about the best Batman, but anyone who doesn't enjoy Adam West's Batman is not someone worth knowing.

The theme song alone puts it in the pantheon of greatness.
