This is supposed to be the original Shade— the one who first appeared as a Justice Society villain in the 1940s. The Changing Man is a later creation and a distinct character. The female Shade appearing on Young Justice is a version of the original.

I’m never going to get the gentleman antihero version of the Shade, am I? The one who has coffee with Oscar Wilde and teases Jack Knight about his tattoos and is protective of Opal City. The one with nuance and layers and charm. All because Geoff Johns has to have his pet character be the best and One True wielder of…

It’s probable they have a contract and can’t move the convention again without a penalty. It still sucks that they’re not even trying to say guests need proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test, though.

I won passes to a con this weekend and I also live in a state with a large unvaccinated population and a lovely Delta variant spike. I’m vaccinated and masks are required, but I’m still anxious about being around that many strangers.

My aunt was a nurse in a urologist’s office and they had a kid come in with a dozen or so birthday candles in various places along his urinary tract; get on that level, Beanis.

The backgrounds are gorgeous and the figures look like an old Playstation game cutscene. The voice acting is spotty, too. 

I would watch the extended cut of Chimps on a Blimp.

I remember reading somewhere that it’s a milk snake on the tit, which is a very clever joke that almost nobody will catch.

Jason wasn't huffing steroids; it's fear toxin antidote. Instead of dealing with his brush with death and the PTSD and fear that comes with it, he went to Scarecrow (probably) and came up with something that would eliminate his fear. I know the show is trying to make it a big mystery, but the writers aren't halfway…

I reread the series a couple of years back and I know that was presented as a possible cause, but an ancient curse feels out of place. Making it Dr. Mann’s fault feels too obvious and cheesy.

Really?!

They let Jared Leto and Geoff Johns get away with shit like this; they can't act shocked when the new guy assumes it's acceptable behavior.

No, Tim is definitely upset that Tim is dead.

There is no way I’m setting foot inside a theater with other people in it while I’m living in a Delta hotspot.

I really hope the animation looks better than the trailers because eesh.

Bold of you to assume there is a future.

I can’t picture this version of Waller staring down Batman.

I turned it off after the first half-hour and revisited it hours later and I realized it's just Slither with superheroes without the charm and with more pointless jokes.

I've got a Justice League Task Force pitch ready whenever DC wants to call me.
