I know few believe me in my claims that Morrison is the Anti-Christ of DC. I don't know how he claimed so much power, but I know he is using it to destroy the Batman universe.

My brilliant masterpiece of pinpointing everything wrong and a direct prediction of his evil is coming, and all I want to say is -

THE END IS NIGH.

Following that will be my billowing screams of "I told you so," but we'll wait for that.

Three years at max, unless they want even more money.

At least I can drink away my anger by that time as I'll be of age.

fffffuckk...

I lost track of the days - Under the Hood is out now, yes?!?!??!
I'm freaking out, I just realized today is past the 16th when I saw a mini animation of it...

Sooo, that means I have to go find it somewhere...

Yeah

So, life has been hectic which is why my posts went from 3 or 4 a week to 1 every 3 weeks.
I hate it.

I HAVE been thinking about more to add on here and actually spending a lot of time wrapped around that, but you don't get that info yet.

I just wanted to share how recently I discovered just how deep in the pits of the surreality of Gotham I am.

Today I handed someone a comic to read. THey had randomly picked up one of the many I have from the library which was Cataclysm. I finished it this morning, and must admit I wasn't impressed. So when I saw someone pick it up I panicked and said: "I have some better comics for you to read if you would like!" way more excited than I should be to show of my comics.

So we go back to my room where my meager shelf of Batman TPB's are and I pull for them The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul, since one of my other friends had it as their first Batman comic and could follow along fair enough.

And then comes the climax - I had to explain who Tim Drake was.

Regardless, when I read this it was my first introduction to actual Tim and had to do some research of my own. But I did have to give a full history of the Robins.
Including Nightwing.
Which was a FUCKING PAIN

But I did get to realize something - I am so far from Earth about Batman that I consider Robin lore to be separate from Batman...

THis could be due to the fact of:
a) Bruce is dead
b) Dick is Batman
c) Dick has made a name for himself out of the shadow of the Bat
d) there have been 5 (or so) Robins


This image is by eiko-chan and I have no right in using it but I do like sharing her art - I am a huge muthafuckin fan of her DC stuff and if DC had any smarts they'd get her a job. All I's sayin...
+ her actual website, check it out!

The New Batman Adventures was a great series, even if terribly short.

I recently watched the episode "Knight Time," although technically a STAS episode, and it reminded me of when I was reading comics between RIP and Battle for the Cowl:
-Batman is missing
-Gotham is being picked into pieces by villains
-Tim Drake (Robin) is left to defend the city while everyone else is busy

However in Grant-Morrison-Free-Land then, Superman steps in and is takin numbers!



Although I really dislike Superman, I loved this episode. It seems very likely that Clark would cover for Batman and would do a good job. Hell, being indestructible actually keeps up the Batman lore and scares even Bane, preventing a back-break.

So in real-life-ish while I was reading comics, watching Tim go through the motions as Robin pretending Batman is still alive, I knew something was missing, that the story was kind of half-empty. My childhood prepared me for a time of missing Batman, and I was waiting for his appropriate fill in.



In other news, I've been noticing on deviantArt that people are already preparing for Dick's return as Nightwing and coming up with new costume ideas for him.

*sigh* I guess I should face that it will be happening. I love Dick Grayson, but I'm not sure I love him as Batman. The idea is spectacular - a jolly Bat and a brooding Robin - but I'm not very impressed by what I've read so far.






It's just so, idk, half-assed.
It convinced me to stop putting hope in Morrison and giving him money!

Yeah yeah, the art is pretty. Jim Lee's is pretty too but that does NOT mean that All-Star Batman & Robin was a joy!

Ah Promos

Sorry, I do try to keep this strictly Batman related but I thought this might be possibly acceptable..

I was just relaxing thinking of upcoming comic book movies and I thought about ways the ads could get us to watch Captain America, aside from the fact that it will probably be kick ass despite the tired actor choice. (I would have preferred a fresh face is all)


"Anyone who doesn't see Captain America is NOT American!"

Noooooez

Burt Ward became Jason Todd once...
What had happened was that Robin found Catwoman to be a better partner. something like that..

Holy Crucial Moment, Batman!

I don't think so, Robin!

In case you haven't seen something quite like this one yet. It's fun.
