  • Matt Suhu on Jul 23, 2008 it would be sweet if it was just catwoman or jsut thalia .. no riddler or any of those villains. it would be a cool and unexpected way to round out the trilogy

  • LW on Jul 23, 2008 no, it would not be cool because neither catwoman or thalia pose a threat to batman which would present a very boring movie with no suspense and drama. both are considered more as love interests in the comics than villains or adversaries. the movie would be more of a romantic comedy than anything else.

  • In such a site in the temperate zone, the cyperaceous and gramineous plants would have formed vast meadows; here the soil abounded in aquatic plants, with sagittate leaves, and especially in basil plants, among which we noticed the fine flowers of the costus, the thalia, and the heliconia.

  • March 30, 2005 at 09: 13 PM thalia, the addition of orange flavourings sounds very good! for chewy cookies, well, i would suggest dispensing with the notion of '15 - 20 minutes' and rather just go by the colour of the cookies. the moment they start to colour take them out. they will harden as they cool, so don't panic if they seem very soft. also, perhaps you could try making the cookies thicker or bigger? hope this helps!

  • however it would be cool to see nolan place a couple of lower-key villains - it would really highlight the actors' abilities if they pulled them off superbly. thalia al-ghul is a good idea compared to catwoman.
