Michael Keaton and Tim Burton presented a wonderful vision of Bruce Wayne who was slightly messed up, but in a sympathetic endearing way, not in a monstrous way.

I don’t know about zany but I’m definitely ready for a fun Batman movie.

Lucy Lawless has said she’s ready to not be Xena again. I think this is less of a “geriatric ward” issue and more of a personal choice, though I absolutely agree 100% both women could reprise those roles and be amazing doing it.

Jungle Book is in the public sector, no film rights needed, and another studio with Andy Seriks is making a jungle book set to be released next year.

I’ve been suspecting that Merlyn is about to kill Darhk and be the real big bad of the season. Do it. Isn’t “backstabber” basically Merlyn’s middle name?

It was an intentional code-switching thing. Her accent came out because she was around her people and upset. It’s actually a pretty common thing irl.

Not to mention this gorgeous thing is canon again.

Maybe bits of this were an influence? It seems mostly Frank Miller-inspired, but why not mix-and-match? In this story, Alfred is a family friend with loads of military experience, but was never a butler.

I guess you never watched “Beware the Batman”, where Alfred is a huge hulking badass.

This is the same backstory from Geoff Johns’ BATMAN YEAR ONE, which was also used in the BEWARE THE BATMAN cartoon. In both versions of the story, which was also very influential on GOTHAM’s interpretation of Alfred, Alfred Pennyworth was the Wayne family’s head of security, and his guilt over failing them is part of…

Instead, he first came into the employ of Thomas and Martha Wayne as a bodyguard and was the only member of staff the young Bruce decided to keep on following the death of his parents. Now, Alfred is publicly known as being Bruce’s chief of security.

If he just left SAS or some elite unit, he could have been fairly young and still have the skillset to be head of security. No problem.

Let's not science the shit out of this. If you're hypothesis is showing that you need more "decorative" and "colorful" foods instead of classic survival rations, it's time to do some field work and stop pontificating.

So you’re saying, fun and colorful is much better than useful, advantageous staples.

Confusing people.

You don’t have to organize it “for real”, but buy some gallon-size Ziploc bags and keep each set together.

I’ve reached the point where I have a dedicated Lego Closet for all the boxes. I think I need to start slowing down with my purchases as said closet is now full.

Whoever does not miss the 80s has no heart. Whoever wants them back has no brain.

I have nostalgia for two elements of that era - the comics and the synths. So this works out pretty well for me.

Be older like the rest of us.
