Yeah, it's like if some bald, goatee'd weirdo told you that Paris Hilton was a superheroine — without any kind of physical evidence it's awfully hard to swallow. Harvey knew Bruce and he doesn't buy it, so why should Penguin and Joker?

No, he's alive. The dead guy is a different Steve Perry who wrote cartoons back in the day. They're like clones or something. Sadly, the singer from Journey was not the victim either.

No no no
Uh… wrong Steve Perry. There's Stephen Perry the animation writer and there's Steve Perry the novel writer. Oft confused.

Ninja Man-Bats? Alarming twist.

"It's Guillermo del fuckin Toro, what more could you want?'

There was a Thor/Cap book? Jesus, I went to three comic shops on Saturday and never saw one, never heard of it. Would have been great.

Better than "…it was a small subpoena"?

The original "Laughing Fish" comics by Englehart and Rogers…
…contains the best Joker of all time. He seesaws effortlessly between jovially wacky and legitimately frightening: "I don't need you to answer my questions! I can answer my questions myself! I always answer my questions myself!" His evil plan makes…

Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?

The Jungle Batman vs. Catwoman is a lift from 'Tec # 211, "The Jungle Cat-Queen!" which is reprinted in the original "The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told" hardcover. One of my old school favorites.

Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum the Bat-villains first show up in Detective # 74, April 1943; The Mad Hatter first appears in Batman # 49, October 1948. Funnily enough, I don't think they ever teamed-up until Dini was writing 'Tec a few years ago.

Demme a better director than Russ Meyer? No way. Although Demme's ability to focus on the, er, faces of his subjects would certainly be appreciable, at least from their point of view.

Annihilus and the Annihilation Wave ate him.

I'm afraid of them, too. At least some of them. That's why I've got to keep asking them.

Give up? Well the answer—

Egg raid
Gonna die
Eat up Mojo
All the time.

"Go and catch a falling star
Get with child a mandrake root
Tell me where all past years are
Or who cleft the devil's foot"

3. No. In 1975, when the Joker had a series, that may have been true. The Comics Code wasn't too different from the Production Code. But it certainly hasn't been in 30 years or so. Villains tend to be apprehended or "killed" at the end of stories because that's the genre convention. But not always. The Kingpin has…

Wasn't Genvieve Bujold cast as Janeway, and then she quit or got fired or something and they replaced her with Mulgrew at the last minute?

Jesus, irritant. Don't you ever shut up?
