I love Burnout Paradise with a passion, I heard about it on October of 07, got the demo in December, got the game on January 08 and I'm still playing it and loving every minute of it.

Comic wise, I nerd out over anything involving Jim Lee. Currently getting hyped for Captain America: Reborn.

Hmm, besides Batman? I'd say I'm a pretty huge Halo nerd, and play it quite frequently.

Oh anything? I nerd out over anything MGS, GoW, and ZOE.

The only thing I really nerd out over is Batman, but honestly? I kinda like Bane more in some ways. He's like the version of Batman that had to grow up in a horrible environment, as opposed to being a rich kid who had something bad happen once.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wolverine (comics), and Life on Mars. I really love TMNT comics, which came before the cartoons and movies, and are a classic. I purchased the first volume even though I could read it for free on the official TMNT site.

Halo <I did like the graphic novel though>

When there's gonna be any new superhero movie, as long as it's Batman, Hulk, Spidey or IronMan, I'll be pretty nerded out. Especially for the Avengers one. I used to be a bit of a wrestling fan, now I've gone off it quite alot, can't be bothered with it during the hols. It's one of those things that I have just to keep myself occupied after school. But Batman FTW!

Movie Soundtracks, Classical Music, and Offbeat bands

I'm a huge DC fan...

But aside from Batman and comics... I have this mad obsession with anything to do with Zombies.

Be it games..movies, comics... what ever. Hence the blog in my sig lol.

I also collect a lot of retro Sci-fi novels. I try not to read anything after the 70s. Lots of Robert Heinlein, Philip K ****, Asimov. And some JJ Smith... bit of Wells.

Lately I've been collecting a bit of Crime Noir. Crime fiction from the 50s and 60s... mostly pulps.

And 60s Garage rock... I try to get my hands on as much of that as I can. I used to play in a garage band.

It really shifts a bit in the details, but currently my preferred look of Batman:

-Really short ears that curve inward, Frank Miller style (not Chris Nolan style. That cowl is butt ugly). I also dig Bob Kane style ears, which are long but flair out then in. Look really unique
-I like the lenses in the eyes.
-Big mouth hole. I like it when Bat's entire lower face is showing.
-I like a cape that fastens under the neck, by the collar bone
-I like the cape to almost reach the floor when Bats is standing
-I like the cape to have deep scallops, but rounded so it doesn't look like a zigzag
-I like the cape to be able to cover Bats entirely when its hanging in its natural position
-I like the cape to be tinged blue. Mostly black, but some blue. The game did a good job of it, IMO.
-I like the bodysuit to be a pretty neutral gray. Not super light, but not super dark either. Again, the game got a good tone.
-I like the yellow oval in the emblem. More visible.
-I'm torn between what kind of belt I like. I like the look of pouches, but I don't like the visual of them flapping around either. Rigid pouches like in the Justice League cartoon, perhaps?
-I like the gauntlets to be attached to the gloves, not strapped on
-I like the little bat fins to be flat at the tops and (much more noticeably) for there to be four of them, in line.
-I like the gloves to have the look and texture of leather.
-Not really to do with the suit, but I like a Batamn with less defined musculature. Bonus points if if the suit is shown wrinkling like cloth.
-Yes, I like the briefs. They keep cheap wholesale trainers (http://www.sneakers2world.com/wholesale/Nike-Sneakers-468_P1.html)his pants up and hide his junk. I like them to be shaped less like tighty whities and more like shorts though, and textured like leather.
-I like Batman to wear big, strong, ass kicking boots. I'm not big on them being flush with his suit either. Again, leather. Bonus points if there are creases. Big treads on the bottom.
-The gloves, briefs and boots are all the same colour as the cape and cowl.

Kind of a combo between TDKR's Batman and Jim Lee's.

I try not to care too much about anyone or anything.
But Batman is one thing I love.
Other things in the same or lower level are.
Resistance Fall Of Man series.
Devil May Cry series.
Fear 2 series.
Atelier Iris series.
Most things with superheroes in.
Many animes and mangas.
I once nearly considered buying a DMC 3 Dante and/or Vergil figure but decided against it.
I do not collect anything and however much I like it I am not getting stuff I do not need.

I'm waiting for Mass Effect movie. Someone mentioned Castlevania, which I too am a huge fan of (even made about a quarter of my own fan-game awhile back). SOTN is one of my all time favorites. I use to be a big final fantasy fan untill about ff8. Big C&C fan. Not much of a superhero fan in general tbh. I like Bats mostly because he has no superpowers. Anyone could be him with enough technology and training in the same world we live in. Even YOU :).

Non-media related, I'm also a huge biology and paleontology nerd.
