We’re gonna go again! Woo!

ADDENDUM the Second:
How is it that I, who didn’t read comics and was restricted in what I was allowed to watch on TV, knew that Gotham City was “New York” and Michael did not?

ADDENDUM the First:
It was even better the second time. I already knew where the scaryish bits were, so I could concentrate on the story.

I also caught some things that I missed the first time, so the story made even more sense.

Even cooler, I finally understand precisely what vambraces are and how they work. I also understand the advantages of leather armor over metal armor. (But, Kevlar–better yet.) Suddenly Aerich is that much cooler.

However, I’m still bothered by one thing.

SPOILER:

I don’t understand how the Microwave Emitter vaporized water in the water pipes, but not in human bodies.

Michael thinks it has to do with bodies being composed of salt water versus fresh water in the water pipes.

I told him I thought that was bogus.

My theory is that it has something to do with the water being in metal pipes. That perhaps the microwave emitter sets up a resonance within the pipes that vaporizes the water, and that “loose” water is unaffected.

Which means that if someone was in a suit of armor, then they’d be vaporized.

Which would be kinda neat.
