The only character who didn't have a stunt double was Bane... sweet Bane... why did they have to make him skinny! WHY!

4. John Glover plays mad scientist Dr. Jason Woodrue who creates Bane. He also plays Lex Luthor's dad on Smallville. No riff made reference to this that I noticed.


He also claims to have developed a 'Super Soldier' serum code named 'Venom'.  What?  No lawsuit from Marvel Comics?

When Batman and Robin are chasing Mr. Freeze throughthe multiple doors to The Furnace (after he has inexplicably slowed his fall with his freeze beam gun), it looks like the doors to the Theater in MST3K. I was hoping for a riff about that. "Apparently they have MOVIE SIGN!"

Heh, not bad.

Well, I don't remember seeing this in any of the scripts I read, though there might have been a reference in the handful of scripts Chris read to help us get through stage 1 more quickly. But I DID think of "Ahh! We've got movie sign!" when I was first watching the movie and they were running through that corridor. Ultimately, I rejected it as too fanboyish.

Also, I didn't want Mallon to sue us for blatantly using one of "his" lines. ;)

"Ah, we've got film... indication!" just doesn't have the same ring.

I think my script had "We've got Villian Sign" in response to the Robin Signal.  I thought it was ok.

And I was sad that there weren't any  bobble-head batman jokes. 

I kept trying to work in a joke about Batman's cowl being so stiff in order to stabilize Bruce Wayne's head, but with no luck.

Batman picked up frozen-Robin with ease, instead of giving himself a hernia.

Yeah, I loved that, but the best I could do was

"Apparently freezing things makes them weigh four pounds."

I think this movie hurt me.

For 3 I had a conversational rant, someone asking "So I'm to assume that Batman and Robin always have ice skate hidden in their boots, just in case?"  and it ended with something like "Just a warning, as soon as I hear the words "Shark Repellent" I'm killing everyone everywhere, and you two will be the first in my path of rage."

I can see why they didn't go with it, it was a bit bulky.  Glad at least one shark repellent riff got in though.

I kept thinking that more could have been done with the hockey game battle, that it was just too much like the Adam West style of gimmicked goofy henchmen, but I couldn't find the words to express it.

I had a subtler version of this in my script.  Something like "a long hallway with huge vault-like doors...anyone else having flashbacks?"

I didn't submit a script, but I was waiting to a riff about Robin desperately clutching on to the side of the large phallic shaped rocket.

I wish I'd thought of this sooner.  When Poison Ivy is growing her army of plant/creatures, it would have been funny (to me anyway)  to say "germinate with extreme prejudice. "
