And nowadays, he might snap a photo with his Bat-camera-phone.<BR/><BR/>Scipio: An illusionist <I>and an architect?</I> Ah, so he's like the Phantom of the Opera. If only somebody had written an overwrought, incomprehensible opera about <I>the Spook,</I> he might have made it into the big leagues! (Or at least, into one of the Schumacher Batman films.) And I didn't mean to imply I didn't like the guy; it's just that his modus operandi seems kinda nonsensical.<BR/><BR/>Scipio: Balls. Although it sounds like he had a cooler demise than Kite Man.<BR/><BR/>Justin: That's why I always used to have Weight Wizard unstick my balls for me. *sighs wistfully*<BR/><BR/>Interloper: That's a good idea, though.

Any of us? We'd sigh at the gimmick and call in one of our dozen friends who pass through walls on a regular basis. And then have a good laugh at those raggedy pixie-shoes.<BR/><BR/>Batman?

I'm surprised no writer since has brought the Spook back as one of Batman's mob of enforcers. Sidekicks! I meant to say <I>sidekicks</I>. Anyway, I guess the unfortunate name might have something to do with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796287.post-5123185460120000862007-10-22T07:28:00.000-05:002007-10-22T07:28:00.000-05:00Gasp!Gasp!Jon the Intergalactic Gladiatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13758095794354686723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796287.post-85234394471313016452007-10-22T07:13:00.000-05:002007-10-22T07:13:00.000-05:00If he wasn't holding on to that rope, he would've ...If he wasn't holding on to that rope, he would've clasped his hand to his chest as he gasped...Philliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00679456592657711270noreply@blogger.com
