There is more to casting than the oogle factor. The Punisher isn't supposed to be pretty.

Besides, Jane is the one who walked.

And Titus Pullo is a bad-ass!

(No, I haven't seen the new one)

I too will feel the lack of Thomas Jane...( Patricia Arquette is a lucky woman. Not as lucky as I am, but still)

He walked because the script sucked (which should be a big fat red flag) and He isn't pretty dude is too freakin hot for that. YUMMMMMY

Cheers Storymark. I'll endeavour to do so this christmas. Sure a voucher or two may come my way, so maybe a purchase of Batman is what's needed.

Sucked is subjective, there are some people who have really dug it.

Jane quite becuase he had a very specific direction in mind for what he wanted for a sequel, and when they didn't do what he wanted, he quit (and posted an essay explaining such).

The other half of your post doesn't make sense to me....

Hey we were just looking for eye candy...story line is optional ( but he's really a decent actor)

yes I would really suggest a nice Batman holiday:) Mark Hamill's Joker is fantastic and I would say Kevin Conroy was a major influence on Christian Bale's Batman ( though I think Conroy does a better job injecting humour into the performance)
Like his hilarious deadpan comment to Superman when Superman is irritating him " Don't you have a tall building to leap somewhere?"

Kevin Conroy is the voice I hear in my head when I read Batman comics.

I think he really is the best Batman. I've no idea what he looks like, but in terms of voice acting he's spot on. That's the one thing I miss in Bale's performance is the humour. He's lost the wry comments and sarcasm that really make Batman. Yes he's dark and twisted, but he's not lost his soul.

Yeah. "Worlds Finest" (which is a cooler title) is pretty good, as well.

Aw, hell - just get the whole Batman:TAS. It's all good! And they just released a complete series set (which contains not one of the movies mentioned! Yay!) a couple weeks ago.
