I really like The Rock in most of the films he is in, but this, like all of these DC superhero announcements, always pale in the "Wow, what a great choice!" category when compared to Marvel's casting. Joaquin Phoenix hopefully as Dr. Strange is much more interesting than The Rock as Black Adam …

… or Armageddon 2001, from 1991. God, I'm aging myself, but I remember that one from when I was a kid. The premise was a superbeing from the future (2001) had to go back in time to figure out which DC superhero turned bad in 10 years … turns it out was wither Hawk or Dove, I forget.

… and Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook were still just schools, and not symbols of our never ending gun violence epidemic … We should all be so lucky as to be as "freaked out" again …

Batman's a detective!

IS that fellow sophisticate Turkey Creek Jack Stewart hosting this show?

The pun-ready grasp of basic ancient Egyptian history and mythology should really be commended … bravo to all.

He was too exhahsted frahm fahking Alec Baldwin's mahtha; it left him little time for subtlety …

You had me at "some of the most desolate, despairing television on air."

A book? The hell you say …
