    I'm still using a couple of ROTJ glasses from 1983!

    Put me off Burger King for a while, let me tell you. Even in college, there's only so many of those babies you can stomach.

    I wish I still had my Jabba glass!

    Also I got an awesome, large 7-11 R2 cup with a big straw that I always wanted to turn into a bong. But I sold it on eBay instead.

    I just broke a Lord Krug Star Trek 3 glass the other day when my hand slipped and I hit it with a knife. Way to rub it in.

    There really is nothing like a good collectible glass and puny or not I've got the whole collection from the last film because A: they're glass not crummy plastic and B: it's the closest I'll come to licking Zoe Saldana.

    My favorite cups are a set of Great Muppet Caper collector glasses, with those hilariously awful Batman Forever cups in a close second-place. I will never throw those away.

    @korybing: Why didn't they make a glass out of Drew Barrymore's character from that movie? Or was she on the back of Two-Face's glass? I lost mine so long ago... which is upsetting. Chocolate milk sounds nice...

    The Best Glasses were the first Muppets Movie (!) ones. The glass they used was thick enough to last. My parents still have them some 30 years later.

    Ahh, remember when comics were for kids? Those were the days. I guess I'll let my son read the 'classics' since no one is making comics for him.

    Will Johns' Batman fight Azzarello's Batman in a duel to the death, with guns? Maybe Dini's Batman can mediate, while Frank Miller's Batman bangs Vicki Vale.

    Either suck up and wipe the slate completely clean, or go back to what I thought was the point of Legends of the Dark Knight series when it first started -- writing original, possibly apocryphal, self-contained tales designed less to stick to continuity and more to simply tell a good story.

    I've been calling this for years. I am actually not horrified by this as Ultimate was great (at first anyways), and a modern retelling of Batman has been asking for it for years.
