Second last prompt (out of order because I'm still pondering a germ of an idea for edible_hat's one)

An octopus carrying a weapon in every hand (including spear, maul, katana, wakazashi):


Why yes, this is a role playing character dreamed up by a male geek :D

Painted before my morning shower (it's still morning!) in a vague attempt at japanese ink painting, since the character is japanese. And now, to get dressed, and then lie on the couch watching dvds for several hours, and then see Batman :)

IS AWESOME GO SEE IT NOW. NOW!!

That said, two non-spoilery things I think should have been in the film but weren't:

1)Commissioner Gordon's kids play a small part in the film. The son gets a few lines and all the attention, and is shown looking up to Batman. That character? Has, afaict, absolutely no interesting canon backstory. The daughter had no lines and may as well have not been there, despite the fact that she goes on to become batgirl (and her backstory involves the Joker!). It would have been much cooler to focus on her in a foreshadowing/reference sort of way, but nooo the golden haired boy is more engaging >:/

2) The posters for the movie showed a giant flaming bat symbol on a skyscraper, and there was none in the film. I WANT MY GIANT FLAMING BAT SYMBOL.

EDIT: suddenly realises this is a perfect opportunity to use my old default icon :)

And now some spoilers.. )
