I felt JOKER tried way to hard, but it was good as a companion piece to the Heath Ledger movie version.
As for Arkham Asylum, it's a good art-comic, but it's far too unusual to fit in the cannon. Other more mainstream stories have covered the Arkham ground in a manner more fitting the SOP Batman Universe.

completely disagree. Felt it was a great adaption, capturing Cooke's awesome drawing style.
Don't say it often, but yer just wrong.

definite topless dancer, barely covered by a lock of hair and a stripper pole. Counts.

Someone with the time and acumen should really write a book about the really really bad handling of ALL kinds of sexuality on TNG.  I don't think any gender, preference, or need is given a positive treatment.
I've always had the strong suspicion that Braga had some unresolved issues that cast a shadow of sexual anxiety…

Have to say, Noory is a pale shadow of Bell, and since he took over full time the show has drifted very deep into right-wing poppycock.

should've been an ongoing book series, tho it'd lose it's power in rehash, probably turn into those Mac Bolin 'novels' or something.

Starman won it's reputation on HBO, and survived there for years—where I discovered it.
It really isn't a Carpenter movie, but he did solid work on it and kept his fetishes off the product—to his and the films benefit.
It doesn't need to have a lot of love from this crowd really, it has it's own following.
+ a TV series…

I think George Norry still does that. In fact, Bell has come in to guest host it a few times.
Tried for years to get on with my tale, never gotten through though.

the book it was based on was actually a not bad. A look at the horrid/short life a real life Vampire Hunter would have to lead, and what kinds of person would sign up for it.

I've always loved the original 1951 "Thing From Another World" head over shoulders above Carpenter's version. I won't call the '82 film a remake because it's so different (closer to the original short story in some ways) but it just doesn't click for me.
Nyby & Hawks get just as much ominous dread from James Arness as…

Tiny Titans is a masterpiece. One of the few—and increasingly rare—instances where either BIG2 company can plant a flag of triumph. Simple ideas, endlessly imaginative, flawless executed.
If it were under $2 I'd still be buying it.

Year one sort of started the trend of using Batman as an influence or force more then a lead character. Yes he gets a lot of screen time, but it's all in relation to how others are perceiving him, which is why Selina Kyle is there to show how she's inspired to redefine herself. Her first act in creating Catwoman is to…

Watched it last night, while working on some other stuff, it is a VERY faithful adaption, but the animation is pretty stiff … aside from the fight and action sequences.
Hope that makes sense; what I mean is, a lot of the acting weight is carried by the voice actors, and not reflected in the character animation. For…

Just to be contrarian, maybe a completely new voice cast is what the show needs to freshen it up?

Perez went through some major eye surgery this past year, didn't he? I wonder—if besides the lackluster response—that has anything to do with it.I did also hear a rumor that he acts in theater, that he'll be joining some traveling cast of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. Could be complete BS, but it makes for an…

typo-tastic!
comany = company
thay = that

Why isn't The Big Lie being covered in the art-comics review? Seems like it'd make a lot more sense there.
Of note, I read a piece w/ Rick Veitch and he said that he was approached by the comany to write this book, which sounds odd in that Image is all creator owned and I didn't think did thay sort of thing.  The whole…

I miss Eclipse. They published some awesome stuff:Mircacle Man
Zot!
Mr. Monster
Miss Tree

I agree Superman isn't as fondly remembered and would be kind of a slog to get through the dull ones, but I'd like to see an episode by episode review anyway—that's how we learn what went wrong, right?

I always remember Anna as being played by Lori Petty, but according to MemoryAlpha I'm wrong.
Whatever happened to Petty anyway? It seemed like she was being primed as "the next big thing" for a while there, but then Tank Girl happened … and I guess I answered my own question.
