This is supposed to call to mind Batman, I’m sure…

…but, I don’t know, it reminds of something else. Can’t quite put my finger on it, though.

    it is odd, I saw part of the original version awhile ago on TCM and the philosophy was a little more clear and Christian. In the 50s they were already trying to be a little more PC?

    These oblique discussion frequently lose me. Is it some kind of rule that people don’t actual mention movie names?
    Is this a motorcycle helmet designed to look like Batman’s cowl (which is actually a pretty cool and incredibly marketable idea) or is this a movie prop?

    Well, there is a certain resemblance to the fiendish lord of bad cinema…

    For me it is kind of an “anti-spoiler” or not trying to explain Ken’s joke for him. Each reader should be able to discover the reference themselves IMNTBHO.

    Actually it reminds me of The Geek In PULP FICTION.

    I’ll let that pass without further discussion.
    However, I will say it never occurred to me to associate the Bat-helmet wtih Jabootu, because the helmet is pretty damn cool. I would totally wear that. Right up until some sport bike riding hooligan stole it from me. Damn sport bike riding hooligans. :(

    Wait, are you saying Jabootu *isn’t cool*?!

  • bgbear_rnh

    are you saying Jabootu is not cool? ;)

    The Sacred Cowl?

    Jabootu is so cool I have to wear a Snuggie TM when visiting this site just to keep warm…
