I've read Bone. I've seen the kids I sub for read Bone. I knew of Bone because I used to read Disney Adventures and they had the first chapter in it.

I don't know how people my age don't know about Bone, but I know Elementary age kids know about it.

Well...it's really a matter of how discreet the parents were.

I saw Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone ON Christmas the year it was in theaters. That's why they appeal to me as fall/winter movies. I think part of it is that Rowling typically makes a big deal about the winter months in her books and that translates to films, so it gives more of a wintery feel...

I've heard that theory before and quite frankly, I think it's stretching it a bit. My explanation is that that's the voice of Batman and he doesn't go back to Wayne until the cowl comes off. (Or unless he's taking a call for Bruce Wayne while he's dressed as Batman.)

I agree with Harley Quinn as a copycat, but Catwoman isn't a vigilante or even a superhero. She's a cat burglar. It took some time (I think) for Batman to get her to that point.

My only explanation, Zeroguy is that he was there when two others left and he didn't realize it and they had already been long gone before you got there and the guy had to piss like a racehorse. I've been caught in that situation before and it feels awkward.
