That's... that's... that's who Batman is...
You can claim all the faux nuance you want but in the end Batman is a rich vigilante in a suit, who is largely useless at hiding, gets caught and beaten up frequently and uses his gadgets to escape and defeat the villain.
He is James Bond in a mask minus the killing.
Ah yes, I remember having many a hearty chuckle as I thumbed through The Killing Joke.
I couldn't disagree more. While Batman certainly has a history of escapades and capers, he also has a history of gripping, dramatic storylines. Just because Nolan was the first director to attempt to portray Batman on film in a more serious, dramatic way doesn't mean it's not a Batman movie.I'm not saying they're bad movies. They're great movies, but as Batman movies they're bad. It's akin to how Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is a great film but a poor adaptation of the source material.
I'd personally like a return to campy Batman a la Batman: The Brave and the Bold, but I appreciate we're unlikely to get it any time soon, and I think if there's any one fictional character for whom you can say "This interpretation isn't valid," it's not someone who's had as many drastically different versions as Batman.
But The Dark Knight Rises is still utter shit.
Yes a clown shooting the police commissioner's daughter and then kidnapping him and taking him to a circus is something you read about all the time.
Something can be silly/strange and still be harrowing
Tim Burton's take is still the best interpretation in my opinion. Has a serious tone while embracing the silliness of the concept

Mainly pitbulls/terriers of whatever sort. Generations of being guard/attack dogs. Germans can be risky, too.
Rottweilers, if I'm correct, are far less likely to attack their owner than a pitbull. I have been around plenty of Rots who are perfectly adjusted to new people. Are they more likely to snap than, say, a Golden
Retriever? Probably.
Point is - some breeds are much more likely to attack and not give up. Why even bother with a breed like that? Seems like taking a pointless chance when you can have a dog that isn't dangerous.
I cannot for the life of me understand why Counter Strike is still popular, and the fact that Global Offensive has such a large competitive scene still. Siege completely blows it out of the water in terms of dynamics, game layers, intricacy and skill required at the highest levels.

Zaxby's is also a fast food place, but it's more of a go in to eat than drive and eat, if that makes sense. The one positive Chick-Fil-A has over Zaxby's is its portability. It's a lot easier to eat Chick-Fil-A on the go. But the last few times I've been there, the chicken on the sandwich barely took up half the bun and seemed to be mostly breading. I have the same issue with their strips, too, as it seems like there is very little chicken to them. At Zaxby's, the strips are generally much larger and have a lot more chicken. The fries are also better, and Zax sauce is far superior to any other restaurant's sauce, save for maybe Red Robin's Campfire sauce.
I also feel like you get more food for your money at Zaxby's. At Chick-Fil-A this:
costs about the same as this:
does at Zaxby's, where you get three strips, about a half-dozen chicken wings, fries and toast.
And as for IHOP, I'm not a big fan of pancakes, so on the rare occasion I end up there I have to get other stuff. So I've discovered their surprisingly good chicken strips.
As far as breakfast restaurants go: Waffle House > IHOP > Cracker Barrel
