Boom... Pow... Kick... BATMAN!

The new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, is coming out soon.
In the last movie, the Dark Knight (which was NOT the last movie Heath Ledger made.... don't believe me?  check out IMDB.com)- Lucius Fox, played by Morgan Freeman tells Batman (Christian Bale) that "it should do fine against cats" when referring to the new armor for his suit.
An obvious foreshadowing to the next villain- Catwoman, who will be played by Anne Hathaway.
At dinner the other night, we were having a discussion about the comic book series versus the movies.  The suggestion was made that in the next comic book, Bane breaks Bruce Wayne's back and he must retire as Batman.
Christian Bale is not signed up to work on any more Batman movies... so is this also a foreshadowing for what is to come?  Will Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne be no more?  Will there be a new Batman?  Will there be more Batman movies?-- isn't this how the Batman tv show was ended... with a series of questions previewing the next episode?....
I digress...
I am excited for the action and excited to see how Anne Hathaway does as a villain.  Has she ever portrayed anyone other than the protagonist, in ANY movie?!
I purposefully haven't read any reviews about the movie... but I am excited to see if they do yet another Bat-tastic installment.

No amount of game play can help?

Do you ever get the blues? Maybe because of work, your relationship status, your family, etc.
Usually playing video games help... but there's a point where you're so blue, you don't even want to do that.
Generally, blowing up guys while playing MW3, or killing my Sim over and over again, or just playing a random game to take my mind off things does the trick.
But sometimes games aren't even interesting or don't make me feel better at all.
In that case... what do you do?
Do you deal with whatever is making you blue? Do you try to take your mind off of it?
Sometimes I just feel lost... I don't know why I feel the way I do... and I'd love to NOT feel this way anymore... but no amount of game play can help me out of this, I fear.
