It's hard to say if I would have liked that film or not. I can't say "more" because the zaniness of this one + nostalgia pretty much guarantees it would come out on top for me.<br /><br />Dude, what else are comments sections for but discussion?

Nice!<br /><br />That Vicky angle is interesting though I think that might have made the film a little too cluttered. At least it sounds like it has the possibility in going in a <i>Spiderman 3</i> too many characters at once type situation.<br /><br />I read about the Marlan Wayans Robin.

The Waters script, though, was meant to be a direct spinoff, Michelle Pfieffer and Burton (who was planning to produce) both liked it, but the studio just couldn't wrap their heads around it. I'd be very curious to hear what you think.
