"Crime never wins when Batman Begins"
I just heard this on a Mattel commercial, advertising the new Batman Begins Batmobile. Man, I remember when toy slogans and toys were cool. I picked up some twenty Star Wars figures at Goodwill a few months ago for $6 and, well, those were cool toys. The old D.C. toys were cool too. I remember playing with those toys as a kid. And then the Legend of the Dark Knight Batman series came out. Those toys sucked. And I'll bet these new toys suck too. But this new slogan makes me want to rip into Mattel's document-fabricating ass. Hiyah! "Zack, Zack, he's the Lego Maniac." Now that was a cool slogan. "G. I. Joe, the Real American Hero!" That was a great slogan. "By the power of Grayskull: I have the Power!" That was an awesome slogan. "Crime never wins when Batman Begins." What the hell is that, anyway? Now I don't even wanna see the damn movie. My day is ruined.

are you an idiot? your post is confusing - not sure if you're taking a shot at advertising slogans or toys. the two are different. i think it is a clever line because it ties to the movie, which i hope you saw because it kicked your ass.
Apparently I'm an "idiot" because you were confused. Right. Anyway, it's clear I'm "taking a shot" at the entire industry. Both toys and the marketing that goes into advertising said toys are far below par these days. The slogan only ties to the title of the movie--which is why it isn't clever. The title does not provide a double entrendre so it's not witty in the least. It's just stupid.
I did see the film, however, and liked it.
Oh yeah, I even blogged about it...
