4 Ludicrous Minutes of Batman Live
Wow. What to say about Batman Live now that someone recorded this four-minute clip from it? Well:
? It’s still not as awful as Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, if only because it doesn’t have anyone singing lackluster U2 songs.
? The giant Joker head is appropriately insane.
? The fact that the giant Joker head has teeth made of henchmen is also appropriately insane, and rather disturbing.
? The fact that the giant Joker head vomits what seems to be hypercolor hobo-clowns who go through a lazy stick-fighting kata is insane, but not appropriately so, in my opinion.
? I look forward to when Grant Morrison inevitably includes this into Bat-continuity. (Via Robot 6)

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
