Holy Sexual Euphamism, Batman!

From the "Greatest Trailers Ever Made" department:

(Strangely Safe For Work)

Is it wrong that I'm now looking forward to this more than I am to Iron Man 2?

(nah.. actually, it makes perfect sense.)

Friday Movie Night

Y'know..

I know I'm really *really* late to this observation. And I know that I'm not breaching any new ground here.

And I know that I might be losing some comic geek cred by admitting that I've only seen it once. And not under the best of circumstances.

And I know I really should've scrutinized it far better and far earlier than I have. And with a better eye towards comics vs. cinema and the adaptation process that should connect them both. How both mediums are distinct and - when using each other - should take the best bits and work towards an end product that highlights the pinnacles of both.

But.. here, late tonight, while working on some homework.. I had Batman Begins on in the background. For the fist time since.. well, since I saw it in the theater!

Holy Crap! That's one fantastic movie!

Y'know... I've learned to appreciate my tendency of forgetting former life experiences and relearning the initial joy of the experience again.

But, maybe that's me.

Catching Up

So... what'd I miss?

Let's see... Big summer cross-overs are done. That's good. Comics are now $3.99?!? Criminy!! The Watchmen movie "potential boatloads of cash" lawsuit has been settled. Ehh. Batman died...

What, again!? Sheesh!

Later...

Man, I love that World's Finest cover! And fun Batman.

'course, I kinda like the Goddamn one, too...

My Haul

Well, part of it anyway. The blog-relative stuff. I got other, more personal things, too.

I must've been very very good.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Should've

Y'know what would have been Awesome?!?

THIS.

Yeah, it's a shoddy job. But it's still awesome.

Couldn't be better

I'd just like to mention that last night's episode of the utterly fantastic new cartoon series Batman: The Brave and the Bold was an entire story where Batman and Plastic Man teamed up to fight Gorilla Grodd and his Apes in the Savage Land to save all of the Caribbean from evolving into simian mind slaves.

And there was a scene where Batman and Plastic Man fought laser gun totin' apes riding Pterodactyls.

And at one point, Batman became BatApe.

So, yeah. They got my letter.

I am so very very impressed with this absolutely fun li'l cartoon! I dare you not to smile while watching it!

Ug.

Bit under the weather today... trust me, the less I describe it, the better. So, nothing too substantial on the postage today.

But so as not to leave you guys with nothing*... I'll leave it at this:

I don't care if you have Super-robots in your fortress. Your Egyptian antique museum wing full of Nth metal? Ha! I laugh! Dwarf Star radiation in your university laboratory? Pffft. None of that means squat! You're all strictly Busch League! You wanna know why?

'Cause Batman has a Goddamn Dalek in his Sci-Fi Closet.

Absorb that, if you dare!

(And ... is that the head of The Iron Giant?!? Jeepers!)

Dear Christopher Nolan:

As much I really don't want you to start basing the Batman movies solely around his rogue's gallery... I could live with this. Oh, yes.

Mercy Rule

No time to blog! ... Gotta catch a baseball game...

Okay.. maybe a quickie:

Close calls at the plate rarely went against the Man of Steel.
Subtle! Yet again!

Never Show how the Trick is Done..

That one scene from the movie really stuck with me something fierce.. I keep seeing it in my head even when flipping through old Batman comics. Especially when flipping through old Batman comics.

Oh, and sorry I've been kinda terse with the typing and writing and stuff.. we're shifting work schedules around here and I'm still getting used to when my "free" time is. It's easier just to photoshop, post and go sometimes...

Snack time!

The Terrible Trio!

There's something inherently funny about evil muppets.

Jus' Sayin'.

Imagine him cackling with that high-pitched Elmo voice... .*shudder*

Because Sheep can hear those Zippers

More wacky shenanigans with our newest movie sensation!

Tee hee!

(Apologies to all Scotsmen for the Title joke. My Baaaaad.)

Movie Madness

First things first:

Batman? Fuckin' Awesome.

Phew! OK, back to the crappy photoshops. On topic, even!

If you saw the movie (and really, I want to be your friend.. don't make it so difficult, yo), you'll love this one...

Hah! Hahahaha!!! I crack me up!
It was a good trick...

Manbat: Fixing the Glitch

Just a quickie - I've gotta be elsewhere and don't have time for a really in depth entry - but best to post something, I've learned.

Earlier that Day...

Open Apologies to CMNS Monday

Dear Adam,

Yesterday I finally posted a new entry after a lengthy absence. A lengthy absence during which I can offer no excuses for my constant internet inactivity, quite frankly. But I'll give it a shot: It appears I was suffering from total physical inertia, absence of interest in my ambiance - what some bloggers call "environment" - a failure to respond to the conventional external stimuli - a ribald comment, a nice firm boobie, a power girl reference... To be blunt, I was in a rut. It's the old stockbroker syndrome, the suburban fin de siecle ennui, angst, weltschmertz, call it what you will...

It was moping... and I'll have to remember that. Anywhoo...

When I finally did post, it was simply a slightly off-putting Batman and Robin pose from a World's Finest cover. And nothing more. For this, I am deeply ashamed, and beg your forgiveness.

As you rightly pointed out, it would have been quite easy to take a further step with that cover and make a basic rudimentary joke. Quite simple, really. It was already there, waiting to be teased from it's comfort. If only I took the effort ... if only I took the care to provide you, dear reader, with even a half-hearted attempt at the sort of crudely photoshopped playground humor my quatrain of readers has come to expect.

Alas.. It seems I was still on vacation. Well, the naughty bits were at least. The creative naughty bits, I mean. Metaphorically creative naughty bits.

Seriously... look how easy this was:

10 Minutes Ago

20 Minutes Ago


Actually, ... I fell better now! Ahhh.....

So to you Adam, as well as anyone else I have offended with my inertia... My deepest apologies. I promise to be more diligent and boobies in the future.

Dear Bat-Movie Guys:

A little helping hand. Just 'cause I care.

Based on all the buzz I've been rabidly following, it looks like the upcoming Batman movie will primarily focus on the Joker while laying the groundwork and a strong lead-in introduction and origin for the third movie's main villain, Harvey Dent/Two Face. Now normally I would be worried that you're trying to overcrowd the movie with a *lot* of material, but in this case I trust you. Really. Because from everything I've seen, going back to the last movie, you seem to know exactly what it takes to make a good - nay, incredible, Batman movie. I'm all a-titter.

Y'See, usually I have a big problem with comic movies that seem to just scatter the bad guys at the screen like they were fired from a shotgun (I'm looking at you, Spiderman 3) as if somehow more was better. But you guys did a very good job juggling the first movie's two villains (and the teaser setup for a third) and this one seems to have everything in place, just so. I'm not worried.

I understand that the fourth movie's fate is sill undecided - that nothing has been planned either way as of yet - especially where bad guys are concerned (although I think we all know which feline-themed villainess would be the natural next choice). And here's where I want to help. I have, what I think, is an excellent idea that could form the backbone for a progression that starts with Harvey in the third movie and moves easily to Selena in the fourth. It's an idea that combines the mythos and reason de existance of each villain with a modern wacky internet craze. It's the foundation of the new age. It's the way all the kids today would do it.

And, I can sum it up with three words.

Harvey. Dent's. Cat.

You can take it from there.

Meow.

(Happy weekend, everyone! )

Lying Down on the Job

Batman's a Goddamn Hardass when it comes to crime-fighting.

And uppity dames.

Good Grief! What the hell is wrong with me?!? I swear ... What a Lame Joke!

(Hahaha! *ZING!!*)

A Fop I Roll

Chug Chug! This may be the breast best week ever! Let's pick on Batman again...

Clark Kent makes a Batman cameo.
Shame there's only one more day... then again, I can only apologize so many times.

(Gah! I hate that song!)

Flail Poor!

Wowsers, were there a lot of great AF blogs today! Hats off to everyone! And especially to SallyP for being such a good sport! I owe you a beer.. at least!

Anyway, furthering on!

"Wait...! This means I'm off the hook, too!"
I love this week. I really do.

Who Watches?

Sorry about yesterday's *ahem* ribald bit of dildo foolishness¹. Won't happen again for at least a week. Maybe sooner. Oh well.

OK - Back to the Silver Age Wackiness!©

"That's the last time I get Superman to pose as Robin for a bust."

Ummm.. wow. Don't know what I was originally thinking, there. And you really don't want to see the Google search results for "Batman kissing Robin." Seriously.

(Hi, Googlers!)

Happy Weekend!
