As someone who first read Watchmen when he was 12, saw and loved Snyder’s film adaptation, and then rewatched it a few weeks ago and found it more cringe inducing than the best episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, I agree completely. It’s difficult to say that Watchmen isn’t a “good” adaptation, in the sense that it

Don’t put this one on Snyder. These dumber boxes are all the doing of Geoff Johns and the New 52. Where he turned Darkseid into giant agro god hulk and robbed him of all of the mythology that made him cool as shit.

Like Barry Allen having a dead mom and an incarcerated Dad, or Arthur Curry having a dead dad, or...I’m starting to notice a trend here. Fuck it, considering that he was one of the driving forces behind The New 52, I’ll put Ma and Pa Kent dying in a car accident on Johns, too. Basically, I feel like Johns’ approach to

Seeing that Edmiston Penguin breaks my heart, and makes me wish I’d bought their other ‘66 portraits, but, at the same time, how were they not popular if they sold out every time? Was it that it took a minute instead of 15 seconds? It was, wasn’t it?

I’m someone who really hated the trend of Joker defacement back in 2008, and the “let’s Jokerize it with a bunch of ‘HAs’ and ‘WHY SO SERIOUSES’” struck me as being particularly repetitive and contrived, but the black light angle? That’s actually pretty clever. I dig it.

Red Dead was the first thing I thought of, but now, I’m wondering if, while making it, admittedly, more difficult to traverse that world, it wouldn’t have made it considerably more immersive. Imagine if Marston actually had to pull his map out of his saddle bag and stop to examine where he was going next.

Hammer was always my pick for Barry Allen. Not Geoff Johns’ “Rebirth” Barry Allen, either, where it was all “Zoom killed my mom and my dad went to prison for it,” but OG ordinary, average Barry Allen who’s just a regular dude with super speed.

Kate and Leopold is a goddamn treasure, though...

I’d just cross off the writers part, rather than the “Bob Kane” part. I’m right there with you on this being Finger’s creation, but I’m fairly certain it’s still based on Kane’s artwork of said creation, if that makes sense.

I think, for me, the most annoying things are the *wink wink* references to “the one with the hammer,” or “The big green guy,” or “the flag waver,” or any number of the bullshit responses characters give. It’s not cheeky, it’s not clever; it just makes your show seem like every character has an early onset of

Correction: TNBA has Ponytail Dick Grayson. Nightwing does not wear his hair in a ponytail. Nightwing has a mullet because Nightwing is a bad motherfucker.

Just call the Rick and Morty fans what they actually are: “Jerrys.”

I just wish it wasn’t that Szechuan dipping sauce, but, rather, the Spicy Tendercrisp from Burger King, or, maybe, KFC’s Sweet N’ Spicy Boneless Wings that he was obsessed with (in case you’re reading this, Harmon and Roiland *cough cough*)...

This is the one that nobody ever seems to mention, but that will always hold a special place in my heart:

Yup. The Forgotten. That’s probably what makes DCAU my favorite Batman, right up there with ‘66 Batman. He is, truly, a hero in every sense of the word. He doesn’t just beat people up. He genuinely cares and he does what he can to help people. In a lot of ways, that makes his evolution through JL and Beyond all the

I fucking love The Forgotten. Because, for one thing, it’s basically Cool Hand Batman with a much lighter ending, and, for another, it shows the way they could integrate adult themes into children’s television in creative and unique ways. I mean, when you deconstruct it, you’re left with some pretty heavy stuff in

I would say music choice was something I’m surprised they didn’t address more. Maybe I’m a weirdo, but it just struck me as way too surface level ‘70s. Sabbath? Jefferson Airplane? CCR? TWICE? Like, I get it, man. I love all that shit, too, but there are so many other songs you could pick that would give off the ‘70s

Hey now, it’s totally reasonable to give him another chance. What with him having a target market, now, and all:

No love for Begley, Edward G. Robinson, Edward James Olmos, or Ed Burns? AND WHO CAN FORGET EDDIE ALBERT?

Lucky for her he wasn’t a Dornish bastard like they’d thought. Otherwise, she would’ve had both...
