Batman's never been the type of hero that can completely clean up a city. He's just an ordinary guy after all, and Gotham is thick with crime; the only reason that he's DC's most formidable superhero is because of how resourceful, creative, and meticulous a planner he is.

TV is awesome now. Luckily I just discovered Person of Interest!

I did not expect to see a Sloan headline at the AV Club, but I'm glad I did, because this song is actually pretty banging. I haven't been as keen on their recent stuff, but I frigging love this.

Definitely more for adults, given that Archie Comics is currently releasing TWO mature titles right now. Fucking Archie Comics! You guys Archie Comics is releasing two titles right now that are aimed at adults!

I've never really agreed with this at the level of an individual book (as far as I can tell, David Aja gets as much attention as Matt Fraction does for Hawkeye), but I do think it's problematic in terms of overall reputation. I would say that Fraction's "star" in the industry has probably risen more than Aja's,…

I agree. I mean, I don't watch this show and have no idea what its about, but TV shows are crazy about the whole "first love" thing.

Pfffft… Seed is great. I'm just pissed that it might not get a third season because CityTV can't get international sales for it.

I don't understand how there are so many smart people in the world looking for jobs and failing because they don't have the required education, yet ignorant, retarded, racist fucks like Sonia are making money writing garbage.

I think there's a [with] that was accidentally omitted.

I would agree with you on this. They definitely tried to do too much at once, IMO. I think that part of that was that all of the side-plots (other than Sara's, and Diggle's mission to Russia) ended up being largely disconnected from Oliver in their genesis, and he simply dealt with the aftermath. As a result, we kept…

It's definitely not the same. Many of Marvel's teen-focused books have traditionally tried to ape the CW-style of drama (New X-Men: Academy X, Avengers Academy, Young Avengers vol. 1), and they're written very differently than the rest of the line.

I suddenly want to see Felicity become the Marvel version of Ghost, a crazy anti-capitalist hacker that can fly and move through walls and used to serve on the Thunderbolts.

Why is Guardians of the Galaxy really a superhero movie though? I mean, it's about about a bunch of space aliens fighting in space. There's really nothing "superheroic" in that description; hell, that's why "Marvel Cosmic" was referred to in media as a quasi-separate entity during the publishing era that Guardians of…

Seconding this.
There's a place in my hometown (Halifax) called Darrell's that is famous for its peanut butter burger. It's definitely one of the more prevalent "exotic" burger toppings.

The Simpsons still has one or two really good episodes a year, which for those of us who subscribe to Sturgeon's Law, is easily enough to justify its existence. Family Guy? Not so much.

Agreed! One of my frustrations with this season has been the way that the skill-level of fighters has varied according to the required outcome of the fight. This one actually had everyone do a good job, regardless of who lost!

Damn this episode was goooood.

Every once in a while, I Wikipedia a major comic book character/storyline/franchise to see what I'm missing. And it reminds me exactly why I don't waste my time with comic books.

They made some really big errors in the plotting of TVD starting in season 3 that self-limited the premise. In general, it should have been no more limited than Buffy was.

You are certainly not dispelling the myth that sociopaths are self-involved and self-congratulatory.
