Here at the ISS, we occasionally get e-mails. Some of them compliment us for our continual destruction of all that is good and noble in the world. Some are from superheroic douchebags who don't get us.

And some of them are so dumb we have to post them publicly and answer them.

The boxed text is a missive from Victoria from July 17:

My name's not There.

Oh, thank God! I almost jumped off this bridge just now, but now I know about the latest exclusive clips and official online game for a movie of which the title is apparently all caps! Victoria, you have saved me.

Although you appear to have changed the title of the movie to be extremely redundant.

That's a lot of sharing.

"Short notice?" Well, let's see. You sent me this e-mail at 7:15 p.m., and the movie opened at midnight. So you basically gave me, the proprietor of a site called "The International Society of Supervillains," less than five hours to post something before the movie started rolling in theaters.

Listen, Victoria, most of the people who read this site had bought their tickets Monday. So don't hand me any "short notice" bullshit. Short notice would have been if you sent me this e-mail in June.

Question: Are the clips still exclusive if you know, you can go see the whole movie in the theater?

Okay, I removed it from the e-mail quote, but just so you can witness itself for yourself, the link to the game is right here.

In case you don't want to subject yourself to the nauseating experience of playing a licensed web-game, here's a screenshot:

Don't you remember that sequence from the movie where Batman spent 20 minutes chasing the Joker's stolen police car while shooting at vans whose occupants threw grenades at him? Oh, and he had to pick up ammo for his Batpod guns from crates randomly strewn about the road?

It was so avant-garde.

I am, but not for the reasons you think.

Thanks, but could you send me a ticket for just "The Dark Knight" instead? You know, the title of the new Batman movie? (Although I personally prefer to call it the new Joker movie. He's a friend.)

Nah.

Here's one: Why don't you know the title of the movie you're promoting?

Also: Will the extended DVD include Batman riding a motorcycle down an endless corridor and occasionally accidentally shooting innocent motorists?

Fingers crossed.
