Another LJ Update, woo

Okay, so a few things. One: for those of you who don't know, I don't have the internet at my house and so I randomly am not online. I'll comment when I get back online--I come and go, like a disease! XO

Two: does anyone know about this total solar eclipse that's going to happen August 1st? Now I'm excited about it. :D

And, I'm putting up two metas very shortly. Deal, f-list. Ignroe at your leisure, they're what I was writing the past two days.

Also, I've got to crack down and finish the SPN fics for wincest_fic and spn_monthlyfic. I've also got to get going on TBKS 9, Metanoia 2, and these half-finished Batman/Joker things I've got lying around on my desktop. Drat it all. Oh, and I guess putting up a masterlist of my fic as a sticky post at he top of my LJ is a good idea? Y/N/STFU?

Finally, a meme! Please feel free to comment for fun! And this was gacked from vivid_honey. ^_^*

Comment with a fandom and I will tell you my...

Meta: Burtonverse vs. Nolanverse, focused on Batman and Joker

Title: Meta: Burtonverse vs. Nolanverse
Author: kowaiyoukai
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Nolanverse, Burtonverse
Spoilers: Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever.
Word Count: 4,694

These are just a few thoughts that I had regarding the differences between the Burtonverse and Nolanverse. Most are focused on the portrayals of Batman and Joker. There are spoilers for these movies, obviously, so if you haven't seen them or don't want to be spoiled, please don't read! I'm focusing specifically on Batman by Burton and The Dark Knight by Nolan, thanks to the appearance of the Joker in both movies.

I wrote this because after seeing The Dark Knight, I (like so many others) became an instant Joker fan. So, I went out and rented Batman (which I've never seen, I know I suck) to see more of the Joker. Well, I was in for a surprise there. I knew the acting would be different, but the entire movie had differences throughout it that got me thinking. The fandoms for these movies must be so different, and the same could probably be said for every other Batman verse. Each one has specific rules and themes that the others don't necessarily match.

At any rate, I wanted to do a comparison of The Dark Knight and Batman because, as I see it, the Batman fandom is facing a huge influx of newbies with no previous experience in any Batman verse. I figure many of those people, like myself, will expect a lot of it to be similar to The Dark Knight. So, hey, I guess this ends up being my idea of the differences between the movies and what I would expect to find in the fandoms. That doesn't mean either fandom follows my reasoning, but I think the differences will probably show up in some fic, at the very least.

The summary of the rest of my post, or TL;DR: Nolanverse wins over Burtonverse in almost every way.
