Trolling for Batman

This is quite possibly the funniest troll posts I've ever seen.

Per urban dictionary, a troll is "one who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument."

I believe this guy meets this definition to a tee. Either that or he's a raging doofus. Some of my favorite commentaries on the deficiencies of Batman Begins include

The comics were dark, but also very fun, and that fun was accurately portrayed on tv in the 1960s. Batman the tv show was a cult hit, and while the effects weren't that great, it truly showed Batman as he was originally intended - as a super detective who wasn't afraid to get into fights, but was ultimately a really nice family man with a good sense of humor.

He then decides out of the blue to become Batman, but instead of Alfred making him his costume and weapons, he hires Samuel L. Jackson to do it for him. Now, I'm not a stickler for consistancy with the comic books, but this was really out of left field...

Batman himself doesn't have the stocky, square-jawed appearance that we all recognize, but is played by the thin guy from Memento.

The villains don't have the fun zaniness of the Joker or Mr. Riddles or the Pengiun and they're even a little scary.
