He IS Batman

He IS Batman



Here's an extended clip from the foreign film, District B13, which I saw with Jessie and our friend Jake today. The action is pretty much this badass through the entire film. The plot even holds up fairly well up to the last twenty minutes or so, and then it somehow launches a football into its own groin. I will forgive it, however, and I think the clip above is reason enough.

And go figure: a French action movie that has Luc Besson involved? A rarity, I'm sure. (He co-wrote the script.)

I'd recommend it only to people who like things that are awesome.

Watching:
  • District B13
  • The Quiet American (It's quiet. A little too quiet.)
  • Ronin

    Reading:
  • Gotham Central Vol. 2: Half a Life, Greg Rucka, Michael Lark
  • Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution, Michael J. Behe
  • The Hero with a Thousand Faces, by Joseph Campbell

    You know... I think if they ever do a Nightwing Movie... that they should get THOSE guys to do the stunt work. Actually, I take that back, I want those dudes somehow involved in the next BATMAN movie. RIGHT NOW.
