I work with a K9 search and rescue team now and then. The team is very good at going deep into the woods looking for missing and/or dead people on scent trails that are sometimes over 24h old.

One of the ladies used a black tactical rig full of pouches. But instead of gun stuff it held gps devices, radios, dog treats, toys, water, collapsible bowls and a dozen other things for her and her dog.

So we geeked out for like five minutes over how useful it was. It's a Condor Ronin Rig if anyone is curious

a K9 search and rescue team

Do American police seriously use this fun little pun for their dog units? Because it always sounds to me like they're sending in a team of clunky robots.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Blame the US military in WW2 who started the first US canine unit, they love acronyms and just shortening shit in general. It stuck and came to civilian America.

As someone who doesn't only love cargo pants but also cargo shorts, I absolutely get it.

". . . and you can put so much stuff in there, you wouldn't even know!"

Now whenever I see Bane, I hear him speaking with this one's voice. "What about my pasta maker??"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I am this coffee machine's reckoning!!

Great show. I'm glad it didn't get canceled in the midst of that HBO / MAX kerfuffle.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that "Caped Crusader"?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Harley Quinn. He’s also a character in the spinoff series Kite Man.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I meant which series. But gotcha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think "Harley Quinn" is the name of the TV series, for what it's worth.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Same here. And Bane gets a lot of screen time in Kite Man: Hell Yeah!, too.

That was the worst batman movie. Full of plot holes and foolish decisions. This comic was better.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

For me, the worst is either Batman and Robin, or the first 30 minutes of The Killing Joke where Batman fucked Batgirl (say what you will about their relationship, it is just plain weird of them to become romantically involved).

As for the Dark Knight Rises, I see where you're coming from. I think Nolan directed the last movie in such a way so that people would not crave for another sequel. It's not bad, but it is not titilating. A lot of directors "underperform" on their works so that the audience would not demand for another. Some movies just doesn't deserve more sequels than needed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If this were the movie version of Bane, his dialog would read as, "Mmmph mm-mmph, mmph."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I'm one of 6 people that actually kinda liked that Bane, and 80% of that movie.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

That was the worst batman movie.

dubiously

Worse than Batman & Robin?

I mean, yes, everyone's got different preferences and all, but...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The Rifftrax of it is really, REALLY good, though.

Right up there with their Street Fighter The Movie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Batman & Robin, though terrible, at least looked nice. Good colour palette and cinematography. Good set design and special effects. Decent acting all round. It's clearly harking back to technicolour Batman. It was schlock but that was clear from the outset. There was no hope of it ever being anything but a movie to kill an hour and a half. I'd watch it with my 8 year old gladly.

This travesty was made by one of the (supposed) best directors of his age (not evidenced by his largely awful movies, which are pompous style over substance) but it was a mess from start to finish. Poor casting, poor dialogue apparently written by a 12 year old, numerous ridiculous plot points. Batman was barely in the movie, apart from the lengthy and ridiculous broken back scenes. It was basically a movie about Joseph Gordon Levitt's character.

It was the stark opposite of the classic that preceded it.

Was that the one, where Batman's suit had nipples?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think that's Batman Forever. Batman & Robin is the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a very punny Mr. Freeze.

It's arguably one of the best movies ever made.

!Arguable in the sense that the statement is likely to cause an argument not that there is an argument to defend the statement.!<

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That spoiler tag doesn't work (on the web version of Lemmy at least) but good effort

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Well then it can't be the worst... Hmm we will have to do some digging for worst Batman movie but let's start by accepting bat nipples and giant bombs that say "boom!" on them automatically elevate the movies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That's the one.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, the answer to what if Rob Liefeld made a Batman comic.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

the feet aren't hidden enough but still very good

Pocketman...? The man made of pure Pocket?

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Given what he does with just a utility belt, I'd be terrified of Batman wearing that thing!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You should probably be terrified of Batman either way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The innocent have nothing to fear... nothing at all... gulp 😅.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

That’s why IM letting the Us Government sponsored by AppleGoogle® put a listening device in my room because I know Im innocent so they would never hurt me

Ps. Bat Man’s on rule is don’t kill not don’t put innocents in comas

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of my power...

-Batman, presumably
