I actually like Midnighter a lot more when he is paired with Grayson, both in this book and in Grayson.

I loved that show and the weirdness that emanated from it. Not knowing the exact setting, the shakespearian guard characters, and of course, McShane.

Come on, not him, he's a well known crackpot!

That depends: is Grandad paying for it?

Omega Men and Sheriff of Babylon. Both were stellar, but left me utterly depressed.

He is fun but rather cartoonish in Morrison's JLA run. Omega Men is indeed the first book I've read where I felt he had depth as a character, and a real character arc, most of the plot resting on his response to manipulation and despair.

Side note: has anyone read Warren Ellis's Trees, and if so, would you advise it? I love Warren Ellis as a rule (I just read Nextwave, it was awesome), and I saw some of it took place on the Orkney islands, a place I love.

Ditto on Grayson. Plus it felt like Seeley was trying to repeat some of King's stuff from last month, and it didn't really work out as well.

Sorry for the edit. Damn autocorrect.

That's the way I feel about Snyder's fight scenes. If he'd just film them without stupid slow motion the running time would be cut by half.

If you're going to keep making movies that long, bring back intermissions.

Why spend so much money on this when all you need is love?

A John Lennon preserved in amber would be even easier to use.

Nice header picture. Scary though. It could be used in a Star Wars reboot in a few years.

I think what I liked most from the Hypothetical Woman was relaxed Batman. Nice character moments.

I hope there will be a scoreboard at the bottom of the screen with numbers going up with every cliché. A baguette? Ding!

I rather liked what I read of Batman Europa but didn't go to the ending because I thought the characters felt kind of thin.
Which leads me to a question, cliché as it is: which Batman is your favourite? I'm speaking in terms of character, not necessarily in terms of the best Batman story.
I've a soft spot for the…

I can't wait for the Price is Right asking Big Brother if it bleeds.

I've almost finished reading the Confusion, book II of the Baroque trilogy by Neal Stephenson. Those are terrific books. The writing is excellent, the level of culture and research poured into those books is breathtaking, and it's highly entertaining as well.

I usually politely inform the person trying to pull something like this that there is a line. However I'm powerless when confronted with old ladies who ask me nicely if they can cut the line (the fact that they're old and tired being implied). I always say yes, and they always end up forgetting their credit card…
