Anno was awesome, im surprised by the responses here.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Anno was... an acquired taste.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

He was a tad strong on his opinions.


And by strong, I mean like, the taste of an onion by itself.

 

[Eggyman]

His strong onions made people cry.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

His strong opinions made onions cry.

To respond to "TheShape"

No, I don't know Anno in real life but I've always kinda liked him because when I was a newbie on here I always posted in the Spider-Man boards (I originally joined to discuss The Amazing Spider-Man 2). When your new it's natural that users don't take notice of your posts but Anno responded like every time. I kinda liked Anno and he was fun to have around so when I heard he got banned in both sites I kinda felt sorry for him.

I have a ALOT of spare time on Wednesday so I thought it would be nice to show some support for the Hype's most underrated user. It also takes literally 2 minutes to make a group and I do not expect for the mods to let him back.

If anyone thinks Anno Domini is bad, please take a look at the f***ing mess that is the Spider-Man boards. Between a bunch of people starting flame wars, spreading fake rumours to gain media attention Anno is nothing like it.

I also do not think Anno is as defensive as some people here are.

If anyone should be banned it should be Vid Electricz of the Spidey boards. He started a flame war but on the last page I think I diffused the situation well.

 

[Victarion]

I don't know about flame wars, but he's made some really idiotic posts. It's scary that he agreed with me on some minor point.

 

[Ryan]

The ink isn't even dry on my signature to have Anno banned. Jk
I definitely find the debates on here to be more civilized since he left, so i'll be passing on having him reinstated.

 

[Tequilla]

Has this been posted somewhere on the boards ?

What a great story. Not exactly Rises related , but it's hard not to parallel it with everything the trilogy tried to accomplish regarding Bruce's faith in people.

A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.

Simply amazing. Batman rules.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I saw it on the webz, and I thought it was great.

 

[The Joker]

Now that just warms my heart. What a boost for humanity doing something like that.

 

[craigdbfan]

Batkid had some real presence. He was living it.

Just look at his stance in that picture. So freaking awesome.

 

[kvz5]

That Batkid story is amazing. :het:

Also, BaleBat approves of Batkid.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Such an amazing, heartwarming story... It brought tears to my eyes.

Just wonderful. I'm glad Bale caught wind of it.

Kevin McCarthy ‏@KevinMcCarthyTV

Christian Bale told me the advice he wants to give to Ben Affleck for #Batman - the tweets following are his quotes!

Bale: "It's a very practical, functional advice I have for him...Make sure that he's able to take a piss by himself without assistance"

Bale: "...Because I found that to be little bit humiliating...and that he's able to turn his head...which is a great benefit when you're..."

Bale: "...actually trying to have a fight that you can actually see what's coming at you from the right hand side or the left hand side"

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Glad to see Bale supports Batfleck

 

[Shikamaru]

Deep down inside, I always wanted to have an argument with someone from the "Nolan's Batman films insult my intelligence because they explain every single thing" crowd over The Dark Knight Rises.

Christian Bale: What's His Advice To Ben Affleck For Playing Batman?

While promoting his new film, "Out of the Furnace," Christian Bale chats with Access about the "delightful" story of San Francisco's "BatKid." Plus, he reacts to Ben Affleck being the next Batman. So, what's his advice to Ben for playing the Dark Knight?

His wife's comment was hilarious.

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1717617/christian-bale-batman-audition.jhtml

"Christian Bale Was Afraid Batman Voice 'F---ed Up' His Audition"

"I got there. They put me in Val Kilmer's suit. It didn't even fit properly, and I stood in it and I went 'I feel like an idiot.' What kind of guy walks around, dressed like a bat? And is then going to go 'Hello, how are you? Just ignore that I'm dressed as a bat.' Of course, he's meant to be doing this," Bale said. "If you look at the history of the guy and the pain that he went through. I went 'I can't do this in a normal voice. I have to become a beast in order to sell this to myself.' "

Even though that voice would go on to define what people thought of Batman's voice, the initial reviews of Bale's audition weren't as sterling as his later ones. "I went home that evening, and my wife said, 'How'd it go?' I went, 'I kind of did this.' And I showed her, and she went, 'Oh, you f---ed that one up, didn't you?' " he said. "Thank God they went for it."

The voice, among other elements of the character, are now so closely tied to Bale's portrayal of him, that it leaves a lot of question marks for when Ben Affleck takes over the rule in the upcoming "Batman Vs. Superman." Bale briefly mention that he imagines Affleck will have to do something else with his voice, but that he wishes him the best.

"[The voice] ain't for everybody. Ben's obviously going to have to do his own thing, but it was the only way that I could find how to get into that and to justify wearing the fricking Batsuit. Otherwise, he's just loopy beyond belief. He's loopy, but he's loopy with a method to his madness," Bale said. "I wish [Affleck] the best. You look at this kid, Batkid.... That gives the whole point. It doesn't matter which actor is playing him. He's a symbol. He's so much bigger than any actor. That's all. This little kid, he doesn't really care which actor's playing him. It's the symbol of the whole thing, and that's what makes the character so fantastic. I look forward to seeing what Ben will do with it."

 

[The Shape]

Nice words from Bale. It's cool to see he still respects that character even though he's wiped his hands clean of the whole thing.

One thing I find a little *****ey about Michael Keaton is his indifference towards Batman now. He's admitted to not even having seen any of the most recent Batman movies. I find that to be a little strange.

 

[craigdbfan]

I've noticed that too. I don't get that kind of attitude either seeing as Bale and him are regarded as the "best" Batman's too.

Weird attitude to have.
