^ True. As much as I don't like Batman being out of Gotham (unless it's some Justice League business or Batman Inc or something), it's good to have someone to turn to when Batman being out of Gotham is necessary.
Okay, I'll give Morrison credit wh…
What appeals to me about Ras al Ghul is that he represents something most people probably don't associate with Batman: the globetrotting adventurer.
Batman fights crime, but most of it is street crime or domestic terrorism; Ras creates that huge, …
Wikipedia says that he's Arabian. Like, ancient nomad Arabian.
I can't say what he was, or if canon on his origin was retconned, because I don't follow Ra's Al Ghul. Never struck me as a proper part of Batman lore.
(Naturally, my feelings on Da…
"Generically Middle Eastern" irritates me. Is he from one of the Arab countries? Egypt? Iran? Israel? Make up your fuckin mind DC.(Generally I don't like it when several different ethnicities are treated as being the same. There's a pretty wide gulf…
Didn't they retool his backstory to make him a former pimp or was that a long time ago.
Yes. It's like the Cassandra Cain incident mentioned above. We don't talk about it.
@ Seamus: Onyx. Forgot about her. Knew about Cassandra Cain, of course. Excep…
@ Seamus: I still think of you whenever I think of Bane, which was a while back because he didn't have a Spanish accent and that is wrong.
You can just pick a point from the discussion and talk about it, and that'll start the discussion again. Disc…
I didn't arrive after the superhero discussion ended. This isn't happening.
I learned that things I liked suck!
Such is the way of things.
P Fist, you will want to know that when I mentioned Batman you popped into my head for a moment.
In my mi…
It'll be interesting to see how it's received upon release, considering how cold the reception is currently. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are either gonna buy it regardless or just aren't aware of the controversy.
I wouldn't mind seeing …
Caliborn's kind of an invitation for Hussie to do the kind of self-aggrandizing stuff that's characterized his later work on Homestuck. Not really a fan of him, even if his speech patterns are close to mine.
Still, Manga drawing manual, good joke.…

To Waluigi, life means one thing: sports.
Waluigi lives for the feeling of grass under his cleats. He lives to send the puck downrange, to make a slam dunk. He yearns for the smell of worn rubber to hit his nostrils and for the squeak of basketball…
I did like that QOS was a direct sequel to Casino Royale, and I would like to see the series continue in that direction. We've had 50 years of standalone Bond stories, so it would be cool to get some more continuity.
I feel like Skyfall did a good …
I disliked Quantum of Solace to the point that I was completely fine with dumping that plot, honestly. Much as I like the Evil Cabal of Bad Guys archetype, I couldn't make heads or tails of what was supposed to be going on in that movie other than '…
I seem to remember the one coming out of the clock in the Felt's mansion, but that's it.
If it were me writing it, I would've put some very obscure ones in certain panels, then gone back and edited in the obvious ones.
And I bet I have an idea where those cons are located.
Southeast of Hypotenuse Valley, just a little past Trekkerson's Cottage, you'll find a remote shire. Peaceful. Friendly.
They call it home.
We call it NERDSVILLE!
At the moment, not really. I miss the conversations I used to have with a few people and I wouldn't mind getting back in touch, but we just sort of drifted apart.
Then there's a bunch of people whom I talked to waaaaay back and I can't stand to see…
Stephanie Brown. She was Robin for a while before being tortured to death by Black Mask. I can look for some of the images, they're pretty disgusting. Pure torture porn.
After she died, the story mostly focused on Batman's feelings and how he hated…
