6 left to do from that list! And I'd buy all six of those, too.

I know those TPM guys are repacks, but I held off on buying the DTF ones because I wanted them on vintage cards. I'm glad I held off.

Yeah, I'd definitely would like a couple more Royal Guards but I'll probably be happy with whatever I get.

Er, sorry... I goofed the 'exile' one. Yeah, I meant the 'escape' bridge where Blake was. You can see the cables when he talks to the other cops.

I thought the 'exile' bridge was the Queensboro since it had the cable car along side it (that runs from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island).

Well, it is Gotham and having a rapist on the team made it legit.

Well, I was just going with the fact that the movie was filmed in Manhattan... plus there are a lot of places called Gotham here (though I know the term is used in other cities as well).

Oh wow! I guess I'll have to make the trek down there this weekend.

I saw this today. I thought it was great. Bane's voice was not what I expect. I thought it'd be edgier, more grit to it than the refined one he had... which is still cool. I liked Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. I was spoiled a bit about the movie, so maybe I'll have to take my wife to see it and see if she can figure out that Talia was the mastermind behind it all. I thought it was apparent she was more than what she claimed to be. Bane was more braun, so there had to be the brain behind him. I think I missed some of the action by looking at the background and recognizing places in the city. There was a quick flash of the Upper East Side's shoreline and I'm pretty sure my apartment building is in it. I loved the Scarecrow cameo. It makes me wonder what the Joker's role would have been if Heath Ledger hadn't died. As for getting the bomb out of the city, the one gripe I have is that Batman, Gordon and Catwoman are all listening to Talia's revenge story while the countdown keeps going. Why should they care why she did it? I know drama, etc. It is also interesting that Gotham = Manhattan, yet when Batman takes the bomb to the southeast, he'd be going over Queens and Long Island, but it looks like they erased out L.I. to make the bay (of course it could be glare effect for the camera).

Now, if they could tell you which version of Kithaba or Evazan you'd be ordering.

I'll keep you in mind when they come, Greg. Of course, you might need to prod the memory some since I won't get these until November.
