Haven't seen Watchmen, but there was such a buzz about it (in a bad way) when it come out and for quite some time after: about what a departure it was: uber-violent, sexy, etc....<br /><br />I always need help in the super-hero, fantasy and sci-fi dept from the geeks! (Anything with a mythology, really.) :]<br />Sr. Helena Burns, fsphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196121481873845379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789157.post-10266255491741136972012-09-07T22:31:45.584-05:002012-09-07T22:31:45.584-05:00Sister,
With regard to comic book characters and ...Sister,<br /><br />With regard to comic book characters and celibacy, as a self-proclaimed comic book geek, I have to burst the bubble on that. I will say in film versions that might come across more in that direction, but in the comic books Batman has multiple relationships of a sexual nature. Johnny Storm, in Fantastic Four, is also understood to be a carouser, which is somewhat shown in those films. I will say that those story lines did increase in the 80's whereas there were more wholesome relationships before that, even during and after the sexual revolution. What began to change that, in my estimation, was The Watchmen, which came later as film.

I totally agree with your take on the sex scene.<br /><br />Nolan is one of the FEW film purists left. He shoots on film and on IMAX film (most IMAX films are just slapped up there and weren't shot on IMAX film). IMAX film: 6 feet of film advances in 1 second when shooting....

It’s going to be a shame not seeing Christopher Nolan doing Batman flicks anymore, but maybe this will allow him to pull off some more original flicks like The Prestige and Inception. Look forward to his future.

But I think you could say he failed his initiation because he wouldn't "do what it takes" = kill.<br /><br />Thanks for writing this.
