And names the rat "Buster."

Okay, fighting crocodiles in the Nile and giant snakes in dungeons is pretty cool. Not cool that they seem intent on hiding the fact that the protagonist is not a white guy. Also, what the fuck with the arena? Egyptians were not Romans. I'm not even sure there were arenas in Egypt when Rome was running Egypt, and that…

They are pronounced the same way, though.

Batman's total squareness is such a great running joke. There's one where a young woman who is working for the guest villain is trying to trick Batman and she asks for a candy bar. Batman looks at her and says, "Wouldn't you rather have a healthy snack, like an apple?"

The late 70s were a great time for superhero enthusiasts. The Incredible Hulk and Wonder Woman were lighting up primetime, Captain Marvel was patrolling the highways and byways of the nation, Saturday mornings brought us weekly doses of the Justice League, and both The Adventures of Superman and Batman were in regular…

I remember watching that show, but we were definitely a Batman household. I think we watched it because of West.

Batman is all things to all people. There's more than enough room for dark gritty Batman and cheerful lecturing Batman in my life. I can't pick a favorite, because I love them all.

And then he orders a glass of orange juice.

Commence the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

This ain't ovah.

Did he do a T-bolts run? I remember Bagley and… Erskine, maybe? But that's it.

Ving Rhames did that.

Well, this is the film that begins the course correction (that may or may not hold through Justice League) for the franchise. It's far better than the previous entries, and while Snyder's presence can be felt, this is very much Patty Jenkins' movie. If you want to support good superhero movies, then maybe think about…

Yeah, actually, I think that's it. It was never collected to my knowledge and it came out from a small press company. I've never been able to find more than an issue or two. It's in the vein of deconstructing superheroes, kind of following on from what Willingham was doing with Elementals.

Ha-ha-ha! I remember being young and stupid and having wrong opinions, too.

Hama has been doing art on Deathstroke, lately, too. I wouldn't be surprised if he was doing some plotting as well. He and Priest go back.

Nth Man the Ultimate Ninja is a good cop!

Yeah, it didn't blow me away, either. I liked the art (Nicola Scott can do no wrong), and the kaiju story was a lot of fun, but not overwhelming.

I, uh, kind of like the biker shorts and halter top look that Diana was sporting when she was running the Justice League but not calling herself Wonder Woman (oh, you mean "Unworthy Thor" isn't an original story? Who'd have thunk it?) but did steer clear of the actual WW comics at the time.

The fun thing about comics is the multiple continuities that crop up - there's one where Batman and Catwoman got married and had a kid, and in the same one Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor got married and had a kid.
