    The movie actually decreased Batman’s coolness level.

    In the original ‘Flashpoint’ comic young Bruce Wayne was the one killed in the alley that night. His father Thomas, a noted surgeon, decided to become the Caped Crusader. Mrs. Wayne lost her mind and became the Joker. Thomas didn’t have years to train, so he used a dangerous, addictive version of the super soldier serum he got from a disgraced hero named Hour Man [because he was only strong for an hour][ yes, it’s really stupid to let your enemies know your biggest weakness, but c’mon, it was created in the 1940s and the guy was an addict…]

    In the comics, Batman was much more violent than we are used to.

    Think about it this way. In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average home was $11,000.00 In 1968, when Richard Nixon took office, ‘middle class’ meant one Union job supporting a family of four. By the time Bush Sr. left office in 1992 “middle class” was two college jobs to support the household.

    Reminds me of a Billy Crystal joke.

    105 year old man and his 99 year old wife go to the judge to ask for a divorce.

    “Are you sure that you want a divorce at your ages?”

    “Yes, your honor, we haven’t been happy for a while and it’s time to end things.”

    “Why did you stay together for so long?”

    “We were waiting for the children to die.”
