  • I actually liked Anne Hathaway’s Selina Kyle. Her introduction and the “oops” when she gets caught was amazing. Also, her screaming under the table and then immediately switching was great.

    Heath Ledger’s joker is too good. The money pit, which is a set piece, was still such a great moment. He hit the accountant in the face with a wad of bills and sets it all on fire. Also, when the Joker was just killing judges with car bombs and stuff … made me genuinely fear him.

    The first one, I really liked Liam Neeson as Raz Al Ghul. I liked the training session with him telling him it was his father’s weakness and dropping him into the water.

    Btw, I think one of the more understated roles in the trilogy is Gary Oldman. I think he played Gordon beautifully.











  • Well over a decade ago I remember a coworker would just go through the codebase and add his own coding style.

    Instead of if (predicate) {

    He would do if ( predicate )

    I would always ask why he did it and he said, “well we don’t have any coding standards so I’m going to do it” … I replied, “there’s things like unwritten rules and sticking to whatever’s in the codebase makes it easy”. I told the seniors and they chose not to do anything (everyone just merged into trunk) and they just left him for a while.

    Then he turned rewrote built-in logical functions in code like this: if (predicate || predicate) {

    Into code like this: if ( or( predicate, predicate ) ) {

    This was C# and there was no Prettier back then.

    Also, he would private every constructor and then create a static factory method.

    Eventually the seniors told him to knock it off. All I said was that I initially tried telling them weeks ahead of time and now we got a mess on our hands.
