I personally loved TDKR, but that's just me. Bane wasn't as far from his comic counterpart as one would think, with being born in a prison and escaping being the foundations that regular Bane is built upon. def: I don't think that Christopher Nolan thinks he is 'better than the comics' by trying to make Batman fit in a modern world. He wanted to make a more realistic version of the main characters so that they wouldn't look out of place in a very realistic world. A large majority of people who watch the film are not comic fans, so a 9ft venom enduced Mexican wrestler type doesn't have the same appeal as a tall and dark evil man with a scary voice. Don't get me wrong, I love the classic Bane, but he wouldn't have fit into the film as well. It seems that a lot of people who disliked the film are true comic fans. Maybe that is because the characters and themes are different to how they are normally portrayed in Batman, which doesn't seem to sit well with those who have been raised with specific inclanations that Nolan is going against. In reference to your other point: Yeah, I'd love it if the next Batman film series uses designs from the Rocksteady games, maybe it's time for less-known villains like Clayface and Zsasz to get some cinematic attention. Now that would be exciting. On another note: I took my mother to see the film yesterday, but she said it was 'too anarchic' for her liking.

Watched The Dark Knight Rises in a cinema. It was absolutely brilliant, with plenty of action and emotion all-round. Bane was far better than I'd thought he would be, and the mask and amplified voice did certainly make him rather frightening. The ending took me totally by surprise, but I won't go over that much here in case others haven't yet seen it.

That's a lovely reason as to not be able to post your character actions. Congratulations! I found Diablo's introduction very hilarious Adam, I'm looking forward to meeting the character sometime in the near future. Siercen also looks pretty awesome too.

I am very excited to see how quest 38 pans out, all this talk of Wren is making me eager to see what will happen.

What makes it even worse is that I checked the index for such a decal not 20 minutes ago.

Hello everybody, it is I! I'm not waiting up for the official LEGO Mr Freeze coming in 2013, as the face seems not up to much and completely against the personality of the character, so I was wondering if someone could do me a quick decal for his face as it should be. Like so: Thanks for any help guys, I know how much work you put into decals.

I agree. Having read the appendices, there just isn't enough stuff to warrant a whole new feature film. Seeing as each LOTR film is based upon a single book, how can one much shorter one need as many films as three much longer books put together? I also own the extended edition of LOTR, and I really think that they should do the same thing for The Hobbit films. The whole point of an entended edition is so that we can see a lot more scenes, some quite important, that were cut from the films so as to make them an acceptable length. I really doubt that enough material had to be cut from The Hobbit films to make a title of its own. Two films is just about okay (Although I would much prefer a single longer one), with the stuff that is there, but three films is really pushing it. With adding an extra film, there is also the high possibility of a lot of drawn-out and filler scenes, that just don't need to be that long, added so that the film can be long enough for cinema release. I really hope that Peter Jackson makes the right decision so that this great story can live up to its cinematic expectations.

Lovin' that hair Pandora! Did you make it yourself? I want one! This looks brilliant, and having seen you two host before I know it will be. The theme seems very interesting, I'm looking forward to the developments to come. Good luck to all who participate, (lucky devils) I'll be enjoying this from a safe, mafia-proof distance. Preferably with bullet-resistant glass.

Why not? In the first guard battle of quest 19, Haldor used his unconciousness to build role-play, and nobody complained. EDIT: Oh, I see now. I thought you meant post, not have your character talk. I guess talking coherantly while knocked out does seem rather odd, unless Lycan is rambling.

Wow! That is an awesome drawing there Catanas, and I'm honoured that you put Sentinel in there. Funny how your excellent image makes him seem far better than I made him. Congratulations to all the winners, who all had amazing entries with brilliant designs. The standard of entries was outstanding, and those who know me will have noticed my increase of photographic ability inspired by this contest. I wish to thank the staff, especially LuxorV, for their hard work in making this contest, and I would like to applaud dear Pengy for doing what makes him so awesome. I love you guys.

Saw Apocalypse Now. Great war film, with many brilliant and hilarious scenes at the start (Especially when the Huey crews start playing 'Ride of the Valkiries' over tape when they fly in to attack the village, and the various surfing parts). The action was good too, but by the near end the film morphed into something severely weird. Didn't really know what to think of it, and I was slightly creeped out. The last 20 minutes was mainly speaking, with only about half of anyone's face visible, it built up great atmosphere. All in all, I thouroughly recommend this classic film to you guys. Plus, I bought the Redux version with a bonus 49 minutes in extra scenes; as if it wasn't long enough already.

Great to have you back Sandy! I'm really excited for the festivities to come in August.

Clayface should appear as he does in the LEGO games, with plain standard light brown body and legs, and a specially moulded head and torso piece like Chewbacca and the Ewoks have. It is just better to have the visible lines and shapes of his head rather than just a print, and his size would look out of place without a larger body. Maybe LEGO could produce swappable hands, with a variety of shapes for him to form, also like in the LEGO game.

Haldor took a stroll around the familiar hall of Heroica, stretching his legs, clearing his head. In these warm summer days the air was thick, and it could rapidly become hot and stuffy within the sturdy walls that felt so protective. There was very little activity happening these past few nights, with a large number of his friends off fighting foreign wars in Dastan. Haldor knew nothing of Dastan, never straying close to it or hearing much of what went on there. But it must be a terrible place, he thought, if heroes from far away lands had to be draughted in to sort things out. Even Eubric housed not the climate that the Norsemen were used to, with snow infrequent and the sweltering heat very uncomfortable. Dastan would be much worse, and if anything, travelling accross to a distant kingdom with curious customs and weather to fight in strange conflicts seemed unappetising. But here he was, Haldor glancing absent mindedly at the quest board, until something caught his intrest. He rushed back over to Jess, who was resting lightly upon the bar. Hesitant to wake her, Haldor softly kicked at her stool. Soon realising how very insensitive this was, he quickly looked the other way as though he hadn't had anything to do with, in a very convincing way. As Jess stood up, clearly confused, the Nord led her over down to the quest board, and jabbed at an entry with his finger. "See what it says here, where it wants us to go? Haddon, Jess, where it all happened. It says that Wren is back, back in Haddon. You see Jess, we have to go there, we have to help. Please go with me on this one Jess, we have to do this together. See if we can't save Haddon, rescue the lost heroes, stop Wren and help ourselves all in one fell swoop." Haldor sqweezed her hand tightly, and stepped forward to write the name of 'Haldor Skovgaard, Nord.' upon the parchment, hoping that Miss Islanti would do the same.

Haldor was surprised, but then he was overcome with joy. It all fitted together now, finally it worked. "Woah, Jess, you forgive me? Of all I have done? I want to try and be better for you now Jess, and I will do whatever you want of me to get there. You don't need to change, you don't need to be improved. We can all strive to be good in life, but that is something to aspire to, not something that we can snatch in a moment. I know that together we can try to be the best of people, despite our differences of race and being, but that we will build on over time. If you give me a chance, then it will all get better. I love you Jess." Haldor leant forward to embrace his love, wrapping tightly around her burying his face in her dark sweet-smelling locks as her head rested on his shoulder. Not very concious of those standing nearby.

Haldor shook his head, vaguely irritated. "I'd love it to be that simple Lawrence, I really would. I love Jess and I want to be with her forever, and I'd like to hope that she cares for me too. But that isn't it. There are problems, but maybe you just don't have them with your vibrant charm. I went where I shouldn't have, and we suffered for it. Stuff like this can't be forgotten in a moment's thought." Haldor poured himself another glass and sat there again, contemplating.

How very insensitive of you Masked.
