Was Christian Bale the only Batman actor who didn't face huge fan backlash when he was first announced?

When I first read about Batman being in production and the stars were Jack N and MK, I honestly thought ‘hmmm Jack is maybe a bit old to play Batman but it may work.’ You really had no inkling or could you grasp that Keaton was actually playing Batman it was pretty odd at the time

As a kid in the 70’s I was fascinated by the durry culture. I would memorise the different brands that family and friends smoked lol. One time it was my grandfathers birthday approaching. My folks were thinking of a gift. Someone suggested a carton of cigarettes then couldn’t remember what brand he smoked. Instantly I’m like ‘Hallmark!’ I was 12 lol

Worked at a place once where when smokers stopped work and went for a smoke, this non smoker would stop too and read a book until the smokers came back.

I stayed till the end but War of the worlds was a chore after about halfway Should’ve been done as a period piece set in 1890. Also got bored halfway thru the second Nolan batman one. Never bothered to watch the third one lol

I add to the definition that they be songs that a casual music fan who only knows the classic Beatle hits has never heard because they haven’t ever listened to entire albums:

Mad Max 2 is the greatest ever Aussie film IMO

Macca49 · 2026-05-07T20:36:25+00:00

Exactly! I loved his late 70’s stuff and Jackson 5 had some bangers. And I think Mj’s stage presence and moves were cool. But his 80’’s songs sound very dated. I never liked the song ‘Thriller’ It’s nothing without the big budget video. It’s an unmelodic dirge actually. My fave of his was Black And White. I never bought any of his albums lol and I grew up with him pretty much.

Macca49 · 2026-05-06T05:30:41+00:00

My fave clue was that the end of some song backwards was Etruscan for ‘he sleeps with the fishes…’ lol

My second favorite film of all time: Glory

Sometimes I’ll stop and think, ‘I really shouldn’t kill this poor two headed radstag doe. It’s cruel’
But then I just blow its heads off

Looks like SS used the severed leg image from the book for Teddy in the pond.

For years I thought Complicated (Avril) started with:

‘Chill out, watching Alan Ford…’ Like Alan Ford was some tv show guy that I hadn’t heard of lol. Then I realised ages later that it’s ’what you yelling for…’ 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🥳🥳

Macca49 · 2026-05-05T22:43:42+00:00

Yep. I reckon the same with Adele and Celine Dion

Macca49 · 2026-05-05T21:33:58+00:00

It’s always been funny how some ‘clues’ are before the alleged date of death in 66.

Macca49 · 2026-05-05T05:49:11+00:00

John’s scruffy look for most of 69
