Alas, from the review it sounds like it's more bad, ass.

I was wondering exactly the same thing.

Did someone say
"let's give him a scare?"

Nice try, Korean animators.

PAUPER OF THE SURF!

"No problemo, Batman."
Weird, but for some reason I still find myself saying that phrase sometimes, even though I never liked Night of the Ninja much. Such a random thing to remember. Did Robin use it at other points in the series?

I posted a comment further down, but basically, no - it's not worth seeing in 3D. There are some really really poorly conversion scenes at the Asgardian palace that are distracting and there's nothing the 3D "experience" adds.

3D Conversion
Saw a preview screening and found the film pretty enjoyable, but the 3D conversion is standardly craptastic (especially in some of the wide shots in Asgard). Save your money and see it in 2D if possible.

That hat…
Generally speaking, I'm a big fan of the show's retro aesthetic, but someone really missed the boat on Selina's hat. What the hell was up with that thing?

Um, Hockey PADS?

There was a period where I actually liked the Superman series better than Batman, mainly because it was my first real introduction to Supes and they did it so well. Over the past decade though, my allegiance to Batman has been solidified and being able to re-watch this series on DVD has enabled me to revisit how great…

Thanks
Sorry I couldn't join the chat today, but thanks again for another great week of commentary and analyzation. I will definitely look forward to this feature's return, but I'm happy it went out on a high note for me as I'm obviously a pretty big fan of this book. Until next time everyone!

I also disagree. Maybe if you hate Charlie Chaplin - and LIFE! (just kidding) - you wouldn't enjoy it, but there's a lot of good stuff in there. It may not cohere as much as Carter, but it certainly has its merits and is considerably better than a lot of contemporary fiction out there.

I agree with you folks that GDG does a nice job of incorporating real people and places (both here and in Sunnyside) without it becoming a distraction. Contrast that with, say, Kurt Anderson's Heyday, which I enjoyed but found way too contrived in the sheer amount of prominent historical figures encountered by the…

Sticking the Landing
I have to say I completely agree with Todd on the subject of the book's finale taking it from something I like to something I love. While I greatly enjoy everything about the novel from the characters to the period detail, it wouldn't mean much to me if everything had fallen apart at the end. By…

Just another agreement on the reverential nature of the film. One of the most effecting aspects of the movie to me is how much it humanizes Jesus - how he reacts when he begins to hear the call of God and how it puts you in his shoes (sandals?) to think about what that must've been like. I think a lot of Christians…

On Leather Wings was the first aired on a Sunday night - this was the first shown on a Saturday morning, but I think it was after the airing of 5 other episodes on weekday afternoons.

I can't for the life of me remember the episode, but I'm pretty sure one of the late period (WB/Gotham Knights/TNBA) episodes actually did give the Joker an origin story via flashback (and of course, there's plenty of pre-Joker Joker in Mask of the Phantasm). So, really, the Penguin is pretty much the only villain…
