"It's like a version of Alien 3 where you play both Ripley and the alien."
So this game sucks, then? 'Cuz I don't care if I get to play a cybernetic Batman with laser eyes and Wolverine claws, nothing can salvage Alien 3.

I think it's spelled A-S-S-H-A-T or something like that.

Kyle Rayner, Jimminy!? Cripes I feel old! (Guy Gardner was always my favorite GL.)

Crap!
How the hell am I supposed to lose the wife and kid for an hour and a half in order to see this?

Lon Suder, Betazoid sociopath from Star Trek: Voyager!

"And I love when Liz calls the writers nerds. It's so blandly mean and affectionate at the same time."

Deacon Frost, muthafrakkers!

"Morrison's characterization and inventiveness in his X-Men run were top notch. Nothing has been done since in the X-books that even comes close."

Definitely keep reading Bone. I second the recommendations on Kingdom Come, Marvels, Planetary and Authority (but only the Elllis/Hitch run - Authority is all downhill after that). I'd also recommend:
Invincible
Hellboy
Sleeper by Ed Brubaker
Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men

Geoff Johns is to DC
what Bendis is to Marvel.

No one ever gives StarBrand any credit, huh? Yeah, tell it to Kickers, Inc.

I'd like to add a hearty "Fuck yeah!" for Snow Crash. I'd also nominate Cryptonomicon, Anathem, The Name of the Wind, and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. And maybe Starship Troopers, if that isn't too overdone.

But, oh yeah, back to my original point: Ibn al Xu'ffasch should totally travel to Earth-1 from Earth-22 and become the new Batman.

Kingdom Come actually is another Earth in DC's Multiverse (I wanna say Earth-22, but I'm not 100% on that). But old bitter Superman from that Earth did show up in JSA recently. Something to do with Star Boy being crazy and wearing a map of the Multiverse. It might make more sense if George Perez could ever get his

The episode(s) where Bobbity tries to take Vegeta over and get him to do his bidding, and Vegeta's all "Fuck that noise! I'm finally gonna kick Goku's ass instead!" And then he does. Good times.

Automan! 'Nuff said!

Damn you HIMYM and your synergistic cross-marketing promotional product-placement tie-ins!
Now I must own a pair of those Wolverine claws, damn the consequences! Damn them, I say!

"…the logical successor to Batman should Bruce Wayne ever perish…"
I'm actually disappointed that Sheldon would even seriously entertain this possibility, much less spend hours arguing about it.

Don't forget the mischievous ferret for maximum shenanigans.
