Batman is autistic.

It was mentioned in Red Hood and the Outlaws and that Dick Grayson and Starfire used to date, before editorial had decided just how hard the reboot would be. When they finally did decide, editorial got around this by declaring that the 80s Teen Titans had "hung out" but they hadn't been an official team. With the new

No one is "blaming" a 17 year old girl for coming onto a 50 year old man. If it's consensual sex, there's no blame to be assigned.

A few years ago I got really into late 90s/early 2000s Superman. They aren't Morrison/Moore level but I found them to be pretty fun. They require a fair amount of background knowledge but I'm sure you probably have enough as a general comic reader. The problem is there were 4 or 5 Superman titles going at the time and

Bojack Horseman is actually set 3 years in the future, after the vaccines take effect and turn half the people into animal people.

Thanks.

I'll stop reading when they sell off Hulkette.

Snyder deals with extremely broad themes so the popular appeal makes senses, especially to a newbie. If you've read more than a dozen comics before though, you've seen those themes run into the ground before (and better) and you're bored by them.

Court of Owls is more a rip off Batman: The Cult than anything Morrison did (although it does play the Thomas Wayne Jr. card that Morrison brought to greater attention). Court of Owls was just an updated Batman: The Clut and his whole Swamp Thing run was just a revamp of The Grey. Anything sort of vaguely interesting

Actually no, I'm just familiar with the concept. How was it? I assume you liked it if you read 4 trades.

So the Uganda story. A whole 4 years before Kony 2012.

I'm not doubting you that that's how people felt at the time, but in retrospect, the idea that the early Image house style is good is just insane. All that shit looks like DBZ fan art.

Unknown Soldier Vol 3 was the one written by Ennis, right? and 4 was the Ugandan Soldier?

Batwoman.

They should really use Moleman. He's kind of ridiculous and stupid but in a way that I think would catch on in the zeitgeist, like Immortan Joe. Fox is almost certainly too cautious though.

Jon Stewart took weeks off all the time in the early 2000s. Colbert or Carrell would host. As far as I can remember, he never took single days off though. Did he take that whole week off or just that day? If he did take off just that day, yeah, that's weird and you're probably on to something.

HAHAHAHAHA. It was Greg Rucka, bro.

I tried to watch The Act of Killing. I gave up an hour in. Not because I was disturbed. I was bored. I get it. When people commit horrible acts, they disassociate, they make it a joke to put distance between themselves and the event. If you make them reassociate, take away that distance, by asking a bunch of

Pretty. Little. Liars.

Oh yeah, I remember the bizarre subplot where Dr. 13 wanted to fuck his daughter too. Really random.
