And while this is kind of cool as far as super fannish stunt casting goes, it just feels like a step back to me.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But strangely, their inclusion of Harley Quinn last season didn't.  But they made her different &lt;I&gt;enough&lt;/I&gt;, I guess.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In any event, it was still a good episode, and I'm continually amazed how much the show continues to improve as it moves forward.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8544836/8417213353790259657/comments/default/4533035580808252185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8544836/8417213353790259657/comments/default/4533035580808252185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.trustyplinkostick.com/2007/09/still-with-batman-over-here.html?showComment=1190748420000#c4533035580808252185' title=''/><author><name>Bill D.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18013121134005443309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/prufrock30/galactusstamp.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.trustyplinkostick.com/2007/09/still-with-batman-over-here.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544836.post-8417213353790259657' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8544836/posts/default/8417213353790259657' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-860615218'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544836.post-3076654625050478714</id><published>2007-09-25T11:50:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-25T11:50:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I don't think I would have hated &lt;i&gt;Brainiac Attac...</title><content type='html'>I don't think I would have hated &lt;I&gt;Brainiac Attacks&lt;/I&gt; nearly as much if Powers Boothe hadn't been cast as Luthor.
