    Diedrich Bader has done so many good comedies like the Drew Carey Show and The Beverly Hillbillies I can't take him seriously has Batman. #batmanthebraveandthebold

    "Criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot," Batman. Batman has always had a wide variety of weapons in his war on crime. Sure he's a scientist but he also uses psychology, mythic symbolism, and a certain theatricality. Why should he be above magic and mysticism if the mission calls for it? As Adam Drew posted -- "Right tool for the right job." #batmanthebraveandthebold

    I wouldn't call this a win for magic. The whole time, Batman is trying to blast Equinox away with magic and, in the end, it fails. What really won the day was logic, in the finest tradition of Captain Kirk arguing a computer to death. #batmanthebraveandthebold

    I think I remember a quote from a batman comic that best sums up batmans belief in magic 'Hrn. Never did trust something I can't measure.'.

    He accepts it exists, its just makes him uncomfortable as its not something that fits in with his normal pattern of crime fighting. Magic is unpredictable and as we know, Batman dislikes anything he can't prepare for down to the last detail.

    Batman's not choosing magic over science. He's choosing the right tool for the job. You use science to catch Batman villains, no matter how awesome they might be, because they are ultimately mortal and natural. Even Ra's is natural within the confines of the DC universe.

    You need magic, on the other hand, to fight dragons. #batmanthebraveandthebold

    This may sound odd, but television programs where the existence of the universe is at stake never seem very...high stakes. Am I the only one? #batmanthebraveandthebold
