Yep - stil sucks...
Little known fact, Batman actually lived in Buffalo for a period streching from 1953 to 57. During this time, he would periodically be seen going along the Niagara River to forage. Unfortunately, due to the hieght of the bridge, Batman had to move to Gotham in 58, never to be seen again in the Western New York region. His lasting impression would be left on a young Tom Waters, who seems to be resigned to spending the rest of his days wasting my time with these posts.
Not sure about the structure of the article...
However I am a huge fan of this movie. Ledger was incredible. The movie knocked my socks off. I have so much more to say but I've said it so many times since Thursday evening that the words have gone stale.
Using that logic, I am afraid to see what other articles we may see based on what people search for on the internet...
Well, to be fair, in BRO's story Batman wouldn't completely dismantle the Skyway, he would take down part of it and then make a ridiculously high public park out of the rest of it.
Wow - that doesn't make sense because I was clearly being serious... especially how Batman was affected by the height of bridges... and was foraging for food along the Niagara River...
Little known fact - Batman once saved the Pan-Am House from demolition...
I just read what he sent NYKidd in that other post. What an absolute clown. BRO you should be ashamed of yourselves. I dunno what your deal is lately but your blowing it.
Wow. I'd much rather have another story about Choco Logo's latest sale then another Buffalo Rising piece on Batman. Batman??? I get the "art" slant, but this isn't Ain't it Cool Buffalo News.
I don't think it's Tom that needs to be apologizing, it's the editorial staff of Buffalo Rising for posting this series in the first place. Feeding a passion is one thing, but a more appropriate forum could most certainly be found.
I've never read comic books, but I can see their appeal as a form of entertainment. However, to claim they are "...one of the longest running art forms in existence dating back to paintings on cave walls" is going a bit far, don't you think? Comic books are what they are; they don't have to be connected to ancient shamanism to be legitimated.
Also, as others have stated, what does this series have to do with Buffalo? Perhaps Batman *can* be connected to this city -- maybe one of the writers lived here once, or a local artist painted an image of the Joker, or one of the cinemas here is hosting some kind of Dark Knight promotion. Or maybe Buffalo has its place in some other comic franchise, and you could write about that. Maybe you could even write an article about what Batman would think of Buffalo, allowing you to talk about stuff that actually happens here through an interesting and amusing lens. Now, surely you can see the difference between articles of this sort and the series which you have written. *That* is what has bothered people about it.
PS Although I gave some suggestions about Batman articles you could write, I highly recommend not writing one for a very very long time...it would appear that most people here have had their fill.
"Director Nolan insisted on cramming as much of Ledger’s swan song of a rollercoaster tour de force of a performance as the Joker into the film as he could by way of obligation, and a cacophony of critics are crying out for a posthumous Oscar for the Australian born actor who died earlier this year from an accidental overdose due to mixing antidepressants with sleeping pills."
HOLY SENTENCE, BATMAN!!!
Before you hammer the site for the Batman articles, keep in mind this site, like any business, needs to attract new eyes. Nothing will be more searched over the coming weekend than Batman (because of the movie). Give 'Buffalo batman' a whirl on google, which is what someone would enter looking for a theatre (right?), I'm pretty sure that's the result they're after, and I'd say that's a success. In the world of the internet search rankings....nothing is as it seems. If you don't like the articles...skip'em, but the boy's gotta eat.

This site should be called Gothamrising.com. C'mon, enough already. Show a little variety at least, Superman? Omega man? Maybe even an Archie Comic next time?
I'm looking forward to the six month series of Spirit reviews. Let's hope there's no Yellow Kid movie in the works.
Next up on BRO Batman on a Bicycle saving the stable while single handedly dismantling the Skyway and closing down the casino while rebuilding the Statler with Iranian oil slush fund money. Did you {delted- vulgar} yet?
Just saw the movie. Loved it as a disheartening apocalyptic vision of America. Didn't see any Buffalo references.

Didn't particularly care for the movie , but ledger put on an excellent performance.
