Revelations was great as well, but it felt like a filler game to close out on Ezio's story and advance Desmond's without really advancing. When you get around to playing it, be sure to read up on Den Defense. It's the least liked portion of the game, with good reason. Awesome game.

They have the greatest smiles, and I LOVE that they both have the exact same red hair. I've never seen a family of only red headed children. Usually, there's just one! So cute!

]]> Comment on Thoughts About Moral Codes of Conduct, Justice, and Why Batman Should Have Killed the Joker by johno http://www.paulhobson.com/wordpress/2010/01/thoughts-about-moral-codes-of-conduct-justice-and-why-batman-should-have-killed-the-joker/comment-page-1/#comment-4603 johno Tue, 20 Dec 2011 22:43:06 +0000 http://www.paulhobson.com/wordpress/?p=2878#comment-4603 Some good points already made. I feel having witnessed evil and what it can do, in his youth, combined with his other experiences that Nolan's Batman (and indeed, the more recent comic book Batman) is barking up entirely the wrong tree if "realism" is what they're after. Bruce Wayne is very, very intelligent - which combined with these experiences - I'm pretty certain the intelligent and practical part of his brain would override any "moral" part, and he would kill the joker. As already mentioned above (and I agree), I think to protect his reputation he would just make it look like an accident or suicide. Bob Kane (Batman's creator) had him take life. As far as I'm concerned this is not only psychologically correct, but also canon; so far as the character's personality is concerned. Batman actually says himself in the earlier days "Much as I hate to take human life, I'm afraid *this* time it's necessary." Now *that's* a "disturbed" highly intelligent man talking right there...
