Bat Haiku
You know, I love it when a commenter has a stroke of genius... or in some cases, just a stroke.
But seriously, folks...
The idea of the BAT HAIKU came up and, heck, why not give it a try?
Nolan up to Bat
So much more than a comic
But a comic still
The Joker is cool
Makes The Batman just a mouse
Dent's teeth feel the breeze
Your turn...
And yes, there will be a prize. (We'll figure out what it is in time.)

The Bat Rules Oh-Eight

Batman pounds his fist
Gordon feels of fragile grace
Dent is lost to them
Posted by: SJRubinstein at July 31, 2008 06:31 PM
fist fights, explosions
spectacular car chases
what is not to like?
Pricy tickets sure
But six bucks for soda, please!!!
Next time bring a flask
Maggie G is hot
No collagen or implants
Wish I could quit you...
Despite a weak plot
Imax made the film worthwhile
Ledger stole the show
Dent needs a skin graft
Batman needs a throat lozenge
Nolan needs a raise.

The Bat takes much cash
In a down economy
Warner Brothers laughs
Titanic still rules
Over The Dark Knight's attempt
And IO goes nuts
Posted by: scooterzz at July 31, 2008 07:04 PM
Scoot is a Japanese Girl
He enjoys Hello Kitty
as Titanic rots in hell.

Not to impune his character
but I own a Sailor Moon figure
won her in a trade.

Stepbrothers and The X-Files:
I Want to Believe?
I Believe in Harvey Dent!
Posted by: Noah at July 31, 2008 08:06 PM
yeesh, there should be no "the" above
Posted by: Noah at July 31, 2008 08:06 PM
Haiku has some rules
IOIOIOI
Know them or don't "play"
Not Batman related, but I couldn't resist. :)
Posted by: yancyskancy at July 31, 2008 08:14 PM
thanks Dave. I'll work on some as soon as I make my deadline. I hope a night with Javier Bardem is one of the prizes.

Da na na na na
na na na na na na na
na na na BATMAN!

In honor of the talk radio I heard yesterday...
Is Batman George Bush?
Larry Elder sure thinks so.
Shut up and enjoy.

Alfred remains loyal
Protects Batman from bad news
Michael Caine is God

would it be fitting to do a brief rundown of haiku etiquette for those who might wish to participate but aren't into poetry? (i hope so cause i'm gonna):
three lines,
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables
i want to do a beautiful haiku, but cynical haiku came to me instead:
behold the dark knight
soars as warner bros. laughs all
the way to the bank
Posted by: leahnz at July 31, 2008 10:16 PM
I haven't seen it.
Just not in the mood, I guess.
Bailed on X-Files, too.
Posted by: Mr. Muckle at July 31, 2008 10:19 PM
Batman covers his.
The Joker uses makeup.
Harvey's is revealed.
Posted by: MattMcD at July 31, 2008 10:25 PM
Batman in the end
Becomes just like Bokonon
Vonnegut better
Posted by: mutinyco at July 31, 2008 10:43 PM
black bat fights the dark
joker's mind is melted like
the paint on his face
Posted by: leahnz at July 31, 2008 10:58 PM
Tiny Lister owns
Katie Holmes is the hotness
Catwoman too weak
Nolan owns your ass
Sound design modeled on Heat
Michael Jai White back
J M C is douche
But IO is comic gold
And you should not play
Eckhart back in form
No "she looks like that dead girl"
Fuck, that movie sucked
Hong Kong sequence cool
Haterz just don't know their shit
Hard PG-13
Vans and parking lots
Clearly modeled after HEAT
Critics don't notice
2.35 to 1
Is best aspect ratio
Films shot flat don't count
Batman clearly Bush
Movie says Bush says Bush justified
Third term would be cool
Odd that Batman hit
Since nothing comic 'bout it
Relentless crime flick
Posted by: LexG at July 31, 2008 10:58 PM
jason bateman is
arrested development
batman fans are too
Posted by: Crow T Robot at July 31, 2008 11:22 PM
Batman in Imax
Large format makes picture clear
Plot still makes no sense
Posted by: mutinyco at July 31, 2008 11:33 PM
The Bat Dude is hot
But just for today. Next year:
Lost Skeleton Rules!
Posted by: Cadavra at August 1, 2008 12:09 AM
Love the first two Bats
Too bad three will blow like The
Bat Ultimatum
Posted by: sloanish at August 1, 2008 12:10 AM
Chris can't quit the bat
There ain't no reins on Ledger
Eckhart will be back
Posted by: Kristopher Tapley at August 1, 2008 12:54 AM
The joker twitches
Now Laugh mthrfckr laugh
Why so serious
The scarecrow is gas
Of mental horrors untold
Exile Ireland
Bat somber heart beats
Love not as deep as courage
Take back the good night
Gotham is batty
Tiny lister is ratty
Girlfriend bites the dust
Bats over gotham
Yankees can burn in hell, please
Mets in first place now
Madge is a yankee
A-rod has lost it big time
wife will sue his ass
Posted by: Lota at August 1, 2008 03:36 AM
So far Lota wins.

A heatwave blast
through worldly theaters
black sweeps up the green
Posted by: Reginald_Applegravy at August 1, 2008 06:49 AM
No Prince No Carrey
no flashing lights no nipples
that is how its done
Finnally found groove
after six times at the Bat
Grand Slam Homerun hit
Prayers for the next
Have Nolan placing Mirren
In catwoman suit
Posted by: hcat at August 1, 2008 06:52 AM
Constipation at box-office
This town needs an enema
Indy flushed away
Posted by: Reginald_Applegravy at August 1, 2008 06:52 AM
Brutal so dark
An assault of the senses
As well as Bales family
Posted by: Reginald_Applegravy at August 1, 2008 07:01 AM
Sad that they did that
To Aaron Eckhart’s cute face
No more bat nipples
Posted by: Rob at August 1, 2008 07:02 AM
Oh which Knight to choose
Dark or Tale
One has Queen but the other has Bale
Sorry, that ended up being a rhyme!!
Posted by: Reginald_Applegravy at August 1, 2008 07:09 AM
Bat feeling throaty
James Earl Jones or Barry White
Or too many smokes
Posted by: Reginald_Applegravy at August 1, 2008 07:14 AM
Gut churning ballet
Set to two note symphony
Holds me to my seat
Child to young to see
Avoid the question ‘Daddy
Where’d that pencil go’?
Posted by: hcat at August 1, 2008 07:58 AM
Who doth the bat hit
hardest? he of endless grins
or his momsy?
Posted by: repeatfather at August 1, 2008 08:06 AM
oops just realized I miscounted:
Who doth the bat hit
hardest? he of endless grins
or the momsy Bale?
Posted by: repeatfather at August 1, 2008 08:08 AM
There once was a man named bats
Who defends when the joker attacks
He brings the smoke and the noise
With his wonderful toys
But Dent still gets mentally cracked
(sorry, wrong thread)
Posted by: hcat at August 1, 2008 08:14 AM
Leaves childhood sweetheart
Spends nights seeking out, pouncing
flamboyant man, hmmmmm
Posted by: hcat at August 1, 2008 08:31 AM
Big hits clear the muck
Jeff Robinov gets one right
Broken clock right twice
Posted by: David Poland at August 1, 2008 10:46 AM
Christopher Nolan
Along with Ledger and Bale
Gave the Franchise Life
Posted by: TadAllagash at August 1, 2008 10:47 AM
Nolan owes me Hanes
Made me soil my britches twice
Back for fear; front - joy
Posted by: BrandonS at August 1, 2008 12:07 PM
Ledger is haunting.
He steals the entire movie.
So much Oscar buzz.
Posted by: adorian at August 1, 2008 12:23 PM
A flip of the coin
I have two faces, two sides
both lives disfigured
I love fine jewels
I steal them and tempt batman
he loves me always
gotham is darkness
crime feeds the vigilante
and saves the hero
joker runs amok
Did werner herzog film this?
self destructing fiend
Posted by: Lota at August 1, 2008 01:11 PM
Ledger wins Oscar
A sequel is on the way
Does this make you sad?
Posted by: Discman at August 1, 2008 01:40 PM
Bats falls eighty floors
Harvey's still in the closet
where'd The Joker go?
Posted by: sloanish at August 1, 2008 01:45 PM
Thread convoluted
Just like overrated flick
End misery please
Posted by: mutinyco at August 1, 2008 02:34 PM
Like deepening knives
One building, piercing note score
Best strings work since Jaws?
Indy disappoints?
Wall-E good, not fantastic?
Send in the clown, bitch
Titanic dollars?
This ain't no four-quadrant film
My mom hated it
Creepiest request
in geek dress-up sex play now:
"You be Joker Nurse"
Posted by: BrandonS at August 1, 2008 03:16 PM
Not best strings since Jaws
Strings ripped off from The Shining
Nolan no Kubrick
Posted by: mutinyco at August 1, 2008 03:26 PM
Last I saw Shining
I was thirteen. Remember
only naked chick.
Posted by: BrandonS at August 1, 2008 04:07 PM
Naked chick was hot
But turned into an old hag
Jack good but jack not
Posted by: mutinyco at August 1, 2008 04:18 PM
VCR exists
To pause when pause is needed
Mission accomplished
Posted by: BrandonS at August 1, 2008 04:36 PM
VCR is old
DVD sixteen by nine
Play with us Danny

I was thirteen, dude
VCR was all we had
Are we off-topic?

Homophobia
Perhaps a bit too nervous
Yet oddly funny
Posted by: David Poland at August 1, 2008 06:05 PM
candy colored clown
they call the Joker tiptoes
to my room every --
shit.
Posted by: frankbooth at August 1, 2008 06:10 PM
forgot the whole thing
five minutes after watching
just like "Memento"
struggling, wracking brain
to find one nice thing to say:
Thank God for Deebo!
Posted by: dietcock at August 1, 2008 07:17 PM
last bat haiku...
The Gotham Joker
a permanent smile is carved
on The Man who Laughs
Is Bruce Wayne a bat?
gooble, gobble one of us
isolated freak
