Batman or Asian Hair? You make the call.
28Oct2007 Filed under: Conversations, Featured Author: MikeAn actual conversation between Tina and me, yesterday:
Tina: I thought you said your phone was blue!
Me: It is blue! It’s… you know, dark blue. It started out brighter, but darkened due to my totally predictable neglect.
Tina: Really? I always thought it was gray, or maybe black.
Me: No, blue. You can totally see when the light catches it… you know, like Batman.
Tina: Sorry?
Me: Like Batman, you know. He’s totally dark blue.
Tina: What? No! Batman wore black.
Me: I think we know who the nerd is, here. I beg to differ.
Tina: I’m serious! He’s black, even in the movies he was black. You only see him drawn as blue because he’s just that black. Like… I don’t know, like you know how Asian women’s hair is all long and lustrous, and it’s so black that it looks blue-black?
Me: Yes. Yes, I know what you’re saying.
Tina: Good!
Me: You’re saying that Batman’s outfit is lustrous and smooth like a beautiful Asian woman’s hair.
Tina: …yes. It appears I am.
Me: I don’t think I’m ever going to look at Batman the same way, ever again.

So I'm done having killer mysterious headaches and surprising personal calamities and getting doubly suprising promotions. I Twitter now (peep that HA HA HA see what I did there) and I'm back to blogging, so it's now officially more than you can stand.

She sounds like a delightful girl with a keen eye for colour.

I have to agree with Egora about the hair thing. Although I believe Batman wore dark blue.

Alright, I am ready to be fussy on this one. Batman comics were originally drawn for him to wear a smoky gray outfit with black cuffs and accoutrement, which were highlighted in blue to show their midnight blackness. However, with colour printing being what it was, they ended up looking rather more navy and spawning a new image of Batman as caped crusader in gray and blue who looks like rather more DUSKY than midnight BATTY. Anyway, then think to how totally resexualized and revamped Batman became when he was played by Keaton. The taut and glossy black costume fused seamlessly over rippling muscles…. the car, sleek, onyx, and almost feline with it’s speed and panther appeal…….
Whatever. Net result: Batman is BLACK.
