Kitty and Dark Knight
Thanks to everyone who commented on the kitty. As for 'Jack' being the name, it would be after my favourite Captain Jack, Jack Sparrow. Sparrow was going to be Jack, but since she was a girl, we went with Sparrow. However, we're considering Norrington currently . He just looks likes he's in a morning coat and spats :)
We went to see Dark Knight last night. It was a good movie, but once was enough for me. Near the end I started wondering if it were ever going to end! I could have really done with it being a 1/2 hour shorter. Good performances, though it didn't have that great 'look' of the first one.

I guess what made it great for me were all of the character moments. Christian Bale does the care-free, bachelor gazillionaire effortlessly. Like the scene where he pretended to run a red light in order to put himself between the Joker and the police van. He was really smooth there. And Heath, of course, was fantastic in every little way. I liked Maggie Gyllenhal much better as Rachel, although I didn't care much about her getting blown up. I'm more upset that they introduced Two Face and killed him off at the same time. He's a major villain, and he should have been able to come back again.
Anyway. It wasn't perfect. But I really loved it. :)

I knew about Rachel weeks ago. Some doofus movie writer put that in his article about the movie.
Yeah, the scene where he ran the red light was very good.
Okay, see, I thought Two Face was a major villain too.
The Joker was amazingly well acted.
I liked the movie, it's just not in a fannish, 'I want to got see it again and write fic about it and join LJ comms' way :) I love dark and angsty, but it was the hopelessness of the whole thing that was the line between OMG! and 'that was a good movie' [g] If that makes sense...

On another topic, how do you think Tony and Bruce would get along? ;)
BTW, amazon.com has Iron Man available for pre-order, but no release date is listed. I want my Iron Man. *pouts*

Excellent way to put it!
I heard that, what's that website called, the one that announces DVD news... well, whatever it's called, they said last week that it's due Sept. 30.
Nin and I had a long conversation about Tony and Bruce on the way home last night. Enough so I think it would be a good topic for an actual post.
As for how they'd get along... I'm not sure they would. As I said to Nin, if the Joker had killed Pepper, Tony would have killed him without any regret given the chance.

I'm going off the movies on this, since I know the basics of both set of comics, but just the basics...
I don't think they would get along. Bruce puts forth this air-head personality that would drive Tony bonkers.
As for their alter-egos? No again.
Iron Man may be angsty, but Batman broods. And, by that, I mean he broods. So much so, sometimes you want to hit him upside the head and tell him to go to therapy...
Batman doesn't kill. Iron Man does.
I can't remember where I read it, but someone talked about the difference between warriors and heroes. Heroes capture the bad guys and put them in jail. Warriors try to capture the bad guys to bring them to justice, but if worse comes to worse, they'll kill the bad guy so they can't get away.
And, I don't think a hero would be comfortable with a warrior.
"You killed him!"
"He was going to get away."
"You killed him!"
"If he had gotten away, a lot more people would've been killed."
"You killed him!"
etc...

Bruce Wayne/Batman hates guns. Hates them with a fiery passion that burns in his soul.
Tony Stark/Ironman creates, sells, and uses guns.
Of course, that means major snarkiness when they meet... No! No! Shut up, brain!

So, it could be possible that if you merge the two universes, they do know who each other are. Tony is a big-wig in the Avengers, and Batman's a big-wig in the Justice league.
But, even if they don't, still... It would be cool.

Heh, I didn't read it, I'd quit reading American superhero books by the time it was finally finished and published, but Batman and Iron Man have worked together. The entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLA/Avengers) for the JLA/Avengers limited series over at wikipedia shows them right next to each other in the cast picture --

I love the warriors and heroes analogy. And I agree, they probably wouldn't get along at all. But the conflict would be fantastic!
no subject
And, the snarkiness! Oh, the snarkiness!
Damn mind... It's plotting against me.

As for DK - too long for me as well. Killing 2face was a big mistake - he's a major Batman Villain and we didn't get nearly enough of his menacing behavior. Seemed a waste to create 2face only to off him - The DA could have been any angry victim it they were going to kill him.
Can i go see Ironman again? That was my first thought leaving the theater
