Speed is better than the Dark Knight? Ehhhhhhhhhhhh...I'm gonna have to disagree on that one.

And really, you can't tell the difference between Nicholson's joker and Ledger's? Wow.

Well, they look different, so it's not like figuring which twin to kill. I mean to say that neither one of them was particularly interesting or outstanding.

What about Ledger's Joker?

It was a great representation of the character, and he pulled it off quite well.

Maybe I just don't get super heroes. To be fair I've never really been fond of any of them.

Probably because of the plight of all overweight people: Spandex.

Just because superheroes weren't overweight doesn't mean that the actors who played them weren't.

Hey, the blob is a supervillian and fat.

But not a superhero! Which was the point. Or it wasn't... I'm confused now.

They're both super...hero and villain are just two extremes on the spectrum.

Wasn't his power just being fat? How come most of North America wasn't in the Brotherhood, then?

Actually I think he had the ability to replicate any power that struck him. So if you hit him with a baseball bat (it had to be blunt I think) he could then punch you with the same force. If you hit him with a tank, same thing. I could look him up and read his bio (I... have it on my computer) but I'm not going to.

Along with some rule 34 of him, no less!

Don't judge me on your level.

His powers were kinda complicated. Like, his whole body was super strong. Most of the time super strength is just a typical buff superhero that can lift junk he shouldn't. The hulk is super strong, but that's all muscle. Muscle gets damaged easily when tense, which is why a drunk driver tends to survive a crash (the reaction time to the crash prevents them from flinching during impact). His body definately is fat, not the typical greek warrior version of hero, but he is far more resistant to attacks due to it.

HIs being fat seems to have no sort of effects on his health, and his super strength allows him to be just as agile and fast with all that weight as the typical athlete at a normal weight would. The gravity thing doesn't make sense however.
