indesolution | Catwoman: Movie Critic!

And I thought the rooftops back home were crowded.

So I watched a little film called Batman Begins (can barely type that with a straight face) this weekend. I'd promised to give my opinion as something of an expert on the subject matter, and so...

It was weird. Not bad, but not... right. But not really wrong, either. I mean, Christian Bale doesn't really look like Bruce (but he looks like Christian Bale, so not complaining.) The villains were a bit watered down, especially Crane who so shouldn't ever be cast as someone that pretty. Ugh. And they kept saying Ra's wrong. But they kind of got the feel of the grit of Gotham, at least a little. And the drive and the demons? That's definitely a part of Batman.

So thanks for the loan, Andrew, but I think I'll pass on watching any more. Because Bruce is a... dear friend even if I didn't know him when he was that young, and it's disconcerting enough. I know there's some Superman films and all sorts of funtime secret identity info on the Internet. And while I sure as hell don't owe the alien or the fucking JLA anything, it still... it makes my world seem just a bit too much like it really could be fictional, if that makes sense.

Well that was a lot more introspective than I was expecting. So, does this place have a gym or something? With a nice strong punching bag?

Thanks again for the scrip. Um, can you get me something for the shiny new morning sickness? Of mutual benefit, I'd say.

The drugs do help with the nightmares, thank God.

Color me shocked that no one's asked The Question yet. I owe myself some amount of money.

There's a few nondrug remedies I'm more fond of than shoveling prescriptions into the mouths of pregnant women, so we'll try those out first. Also, ew.

You're the doc, Doc. Just let me know what's what. Also, are doctors even allowed to say ew?

Not in the hospital! But when it's living in our own houses, yes. We say it loudly and proudly and often.

Now you know better than to call me an "it."

So I take it this means you don't need any detailed textural descriptions or anything?

I've had enough of those to last me a lifetime, thanks.

If they still have paint swatches, I'm sure I can get you an approximate color.

I'm just the luckiest man in Babylon, aren't I?

You know it!

And yeah, that was a bit gross even for me. Just a bit skeeved by the magic talk, I think. Pay no attention to the crazy lady behind the curtain.

Okay! I'm sorry it was weird for you. And trust me, Tim Burton is awesome but Begins is pretty much the best of the Batman films out there, I think.

Not your fault. Tim Burton? Do I want to know?

Uhhh he directed the Batman film with um. You in it. (As played by Michelle Pfeiffer!) It wasn't that good.

I really don't want to watch that, do I?

So Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry, huh? Neither who I would pick to play me. Hollywood sucks.

Yeah, you're prettier than that. And later they used Uma Thurman for Poison Ivy, which was super weird. DC kind of got the short end of the stick on adaptions.

Aww, that's sweet.

Twiggy the Bitch got Uma Thurman? Now that's just totally unfair. Not saying I'd necessarily pick her to play me, but she's way more me than Ivy.

...why am I even caring about this?

Oh hell, I give up. Any other fun casting choices I should know about?

George Clooney was a good Bruce... in a really bad film. I'm gonna stop now, it's probably a bad idea to torment pregnant ladies, especially ones who can rip me into pieces.

If you don't mind a little wear and tear, there's a warehouse with some old mattresses and equipment people use for training sometimes. Dunno about an actual gym, that's getting a little fancy.

Sounds like something to hit, which is pretty much what I'm looking for. Doubt anyone really wants to spar with a pregnant lady.

I'll spar with anyone that can hold their own, yo.

Superpowers?

I'm a Slayer, so it's strength, speed, healing; the works. Nothing X-Men though.

Vampire slayer? Just how many are there from your world/show/whatever here?

Not sure what X-Men is, but I've dealt with enhanced strength and speed before. I saw a few eps with Buffy... along those lines? And I'm assuming you wouldn't actually be trying to kill me, which is always a refreshing change. I'm up for it. No weapons, though.

I'm Selina, by the way.

About ten? I'm not really counting, but the Slayers are just me and B. So, yeah, exactly along those lines.

Sweet. I'm Faith, I look forward to kicking your ass.

Where's this warehouse? I need a place to train and focus my energies

Out in the deadlands, between our part of town and the non-ficcies. It's really nothing official, mostly if you run into anyone out there it's a good chance to go mano el mano, y'know? You want energy focus, though, you should go talk to Vilma Fachiri.

Sounds like my kinda place. I have no idea who Vilma Fachiri is, but I'll look them up, thanks. Nice to meet you.
