    2018 Turtledoves - Best Cold War to Contemporary Timeline Poll FINAL

    It is one of the best movies of the 1970s - probably in the top five - and anyone who hasn't seen it should see it as soon as possible.

    Pop Culture Timelines Go-To Thread

    Two-Face has one of the most bizarre histories of any Batman villain given that he's otherwise a reasonably straightforward character. One problem is that I think it can be difficult to appreciate 50 years after the fact how overwhelming the Adam West series was in defining the character in...

    You sure you're not confusing him with Bob Kane?

    Pop Culture Timelines Go-To Thread

    I much prefer Superman to Batman but I'm still keen on the latter, and one reason is that he's a very adaptable character that you can go in a lot of different directions with. I think there are several different points in time when it would be interesting to see an alternate Batman movie other...

    I'm not 100% sure if I'll ever actually write it. I've written a couple of other "alternate movies" vignettes but I've had a hard time making subsequent attempts work. I'd toyed with the idea of Coppola making a Batman movie instead of The Godfather, except Mario Puzo still co-writes it with...

    Hey, it's your story, I was just making an observation. I'd had my own idea recently, about a Batman movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola in the mid-70s. I was probably just projecting a bit.

    Pop-culture TL adjacent: you can vote for my "Impossible Presidents" TL as "Best ASB Based on Work of Fiction" over in that subforum. It's essentially like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, using fictional characters as presidents of the USA.

    Do you imagine this existing instead of the Adam West TV series (still the best superhero adaptation of all time and one of the greatest pop cultural artefacts of the 1960s) or does it exist alongside it? I'm not sure if Batman in 1968 would be the best choice for a "gritty, realistic crime...

    Lucius Fox didn't exist until 1979.

    In any event, I don't know why you're upset - you're still going to win Best Finished TL.

    2018 Turtledoves - Best Cold War to Contemporary Timeline Poll FINAL

    Fair enough, but I think it would be fair to say that, regardless of partisan affiliation, Mandela's ideology meant that the looming threat of the red menace probably wouldn't compel him to go along with Diet Apartheid (same great taste!) if anything was going to. Pragmatically, how would...

    Nelson Mandela was at least sympathetic to communism, though. Someone more knowledgeable will correct me but I'm pretty sure he was a member of the South African Communist Party for a time (a cursory glance on Wikipedia informs me that he was very likely a member of its central committee in hte...

    What if you dislike it because you think it's bad? Edit: Actually, shouldn't it be taken as a given that people think something is bad if they don't like it? Granted, that won't always be the case, but surely it is so overwhelmingly often enough that the assumption can be safely made? What's...
