Delicious, delicious geekery

The result of my self-imposed mission to make Batman Ice Cream.

I have to say, I'm really pleased with it. It's pretty perfect: cold, even somewhat icy. Deliciously bittersweet. Strong, complicated flavor. Very rich. John put it best when he said, "This ice cream has issues."

Go on, try to guess the flavor!

	I KNOW, RIGHT? I have no idea how I can send you some- but you've got to try this stuff. :D (Reply to this)(Parent)

	wow! hmm...i'm going to guess.... blueberry and black licorice? grape and chocolate maybe? also some yellow coloured chocolate chips on that would look awesome. :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Those are completely fair guesses and I don't know that I can do any better. @_@ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The key is that it's not just supposed to look like Batman, but to TASTE like Batman. Tasty, tasty Batman. And both your answers are half right (though there's more the eye cannot see!) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Is it Superstitious and Cowardly flavor? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	marionv 2008-04-15 05:21 pm UTC (link)
	Ha ha! No- but what a great idea for a palate cleanser/topping! I'll have to get on that. ;) What tastes superstitious and cowardly? Something base and conventional, I suppose. Strawberry? Don't get me wrong- I LOVE strawberry. But it's pretty all over the place. Incidentally, strawberry would muck this ice cream flavor up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Does it taste like vigilantes? X3 I hope you post the recipe some day! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	marionv 2008-04-15 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	Ha ha ha- No, but that's a good idea! It sorta tastes like sweet, heart-wrenching justice. That you have to eat slowly because it's so darn powerful. I'll post the flavor or recipe in a day or two to prolong the magic. ;) Also- convention coming up, so I'll be away from both computer and ice cream until after the weekend! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm going to guess red mung bean and dark chocolate. (Reply to this)

	also, if you could somehow set up a character-themed ice cream stand at a con - you would CLEAN UP. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I have no idea what's in there...blueberries and red bean? It looks awesome. You should totally be going down the Ben & Jerry's route... "Marion and John's Comic Inspired Ice-Cream Flavors" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	YOWZA! LOOK AT THAT! (Reply to this)

	steveflack 2008-04-15 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	Can I come over and try some? -Steve! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	malaisia 2008-04-15 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	Holy Haggen Daaz, Marion! You are putting that thing to good use! My first instinct is to guess some red/purpley veggies that would help make that color. Beets? Red Cabbage? Rhubarb? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	maelie 2008-04-15 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	It's not yam, is it? Then again, whenever I see purple ice-cream, the first thing I recall is yam ice-cream. :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	editornia 2008-04-16 12:46 am UTC (link)
	Is it made from elderberries? (Hi! I saw goraina's post about this, and just had to try my guess. It looks delicious, BTW!) =) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	indigoskynet 2008-04-16 03:05 am UTC (link)
	It makes me think of black raspberry and carob. I want to see now, what NIGHTWING ice cream would be like. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	dottie_dear 2008-04-16 06:12 am UTC (link)
	Blueberry and espresso? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	whirringblender 2008-04-16 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Oh my God I don't know what's in it but I want some (Reply to this)

	timkelly 2008-04-21 01:35 am UTC (link)
	It was nice seeing you at NYCC! Let me know when this ice cream is available. I'd love to try it on camera, like my soda vlogs on YouTube. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	rikhei 2008-04-22 01:14 am UTC (link)
	Is there tea in it? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	fickle_goddess 2008-04-22 10:02 am UTC (link)
	Blueberry, dark chocolate, and some sort of tea, maybe? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	morchades 2008-04-22 10:03 am UTC (link)
	Bittersweet, so might one of the ingredients be unsweetened baker's chocolate? (Reply to this)(Thread)
