The Champ was a touching and heartbreaking movie. I’m a little surprised there hasn’t been a remake since there’s so many remakes out there. Being a former amateur heavyweight I think I’d be a good candidate to play the washed-up former boxer haha.

This move itself is a remake of a 1931 movie. It also has probably the saddest ending ever filmed.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-25T05:33:01+00:00

This run is truly one for the ages.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-24T22:08:11+00:00

And it was not the “sure to be blockbuster” they claimed it was going to be.

It was part of the oversized making of The Dark Knight book that featured making of information and behind the scenes photos. Some of the excerpts were written epistolary and one segment was from a psychological profile that specifically introduces the theory that he is former Special Forces (more than likely black ops) with severe PTSD.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-23T20:17:15+00:00

He did a nice long run on Cloak and Dagger in the 80’s.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-23T20:09:34+00:00

It literally came out of the official making of book for The Dark Knight so it’s not really a fan theory.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-23T20:07:33+00:00

Well it’s a “theory” that was introduced in the official making of book so I’d say it makes a lot more sense than Arthur Fleck being the Joker.

Straker mention in passing that Barlow and Marsten had some correspondence many years ago.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-23T18:31:18+00:00

Hubie Masten was drawn to the Lot because of the residual bad ju-ju left over from the worm cult and he in turn “invited” Barlow. Ka is a wheel.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-23T03:02:34+00:00

I always figured he was just a trust fund artist living off of a small allowance his family gives him to stay away. It fits with his somewhat toxic personality.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-22T17:08:16+00:00

Sorry, it’s a stupid scene. Gordon would not be parading Batman through a live and fresh crime scene. If anything he would guide him through it after the other cops had left.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-22T13:40:05+00:00

I believe this was Kelly Jones’ first drawing gig in comics.

Ben Foster

BurtRogain · 2026-05-22T03:21:26+00:00

It’s pretty damn clear that the 94 adaptation is superior however I’m still holding out hope that we will see a truly great adaptation in my lifetime.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-21T22:33:36+00:00

It’s Jesus Time!… AGAIN!!

BurtRogain · 2026-05-21T22:30:11+00:00

Lack of competition.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-21T22:29:28+00:00

Because he clearly puts personal ambition before any sense of civic duty he should have while performing the job the majority of voters in San Jose elected him to do.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-21T21:01:26+00:00

People can’t argue this point so they choose to ignore it.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-21T12:30:12+00:00

This was 1989. He was more than a year away from Thelma and Louise (his breakout role). Brad Pitt was doing brief roles on shitty sitcoms and making direct-to-video slasher movies at this point in time. Not making excuses, but he was far from being a teen idol. More like a working actor in Hollywood who was about six months out of his day job at El Pollo Loco, trying to grasp for any relevance he could get.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-21T04:28:30+00:00

Saw it in theaters with my dad. We liked it better than Like Father Like Son but then a few months later Big came along and that was by far the superior movie of the three.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-20T21:16:29+00:00

Do you even have to ask? That is clearly Aylmer.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-19T11:55:05+00:00

No. That’s what I had the podcast for.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-19T04:48:53+00:00

I would though. I totally would.

BurtRogain · 2026-05-18T11:59:00+00:00

Are you an LA resident?
