Batman & Robin was on television tonight.

Such an awful movie.   :shakehead:


Worst. Batman. EVAR.

Somehow, I've never seen it.
I'm cool with that.

Somehow, I've never seen it.
I'm cool with that.

I've never sat down and watched it start to finish.

Even as a youngster, I thought it was a lame movie. Ahnolds cheesey one-liners are enough to make one throw up their hands and shout "done!" and turn it off.

I was also never a fan of the Batgirl character in general, not just in this movie.

In that movie they put nipples on the batsuit but not on the batgirl suit.  :|

Picked these up today while out vinyl shopping.

Score.

The Long Halloween is one of my favorite Batman books. Pure brilliance.

Yup.

That's what the dude that was working near the comic book section said. I take my little brother in there all the time to buy the dollar comics, and he's always giving us advice on what to read. The dude knows his comics, that's for sure.

Batman is by FAR my favorite superhero, and I'm not sure how 'into' The Avengers I am. It was more of a gift to my little brother. He's crazy about The Avengers right meow, and has been buying the 99 cent comic books left and right, so I figured he would freak over this, so I bought it. He's only 12, so all he can afford are the dollar comics. He's gonna be so psyched when he comes home tomorrow and sees what I bought him.

Picked these up today. They are all graphic novels, except the Incredible Hulks, which is your standard comic book.


I didn't notice the Joker's Asylum Comic was part 2. I'm going to have to go back and snag part 1 tomorrow...

Batman - The Man Who Laughs   |   Batman - Joker's Asylum, pt. 2


Avengers - Above and Beyond   |   Avengers: Disassembled


The Incredible Hulks - Dark Son, Part One of Six

The man who laughs is awesome. Next you need to read The Killing Joke, if you don't already have it. Also there's a book by Brian Azzerello called simply Joker that is bad ass.

Yes on all three counts.

Considering calling these guys to schedule a visit to their warehouse when I go to Denver in August:

I just found out that they have smaller stores in the area for more recent issues but warehouse visits are by appt. which makes sense I guess given how massive it is. The trick is going to be not having half of my travel expenses tied up in Batman comics, but I just have so many gaps in the 70's...

Joss Whedon coming back to TV for Marvel S.H.I.E.L.D. series

http://blastr.com/2012/08/joss-whedon-coming-back-t.php

Avengers and Firefly fans, rejoice! Joss Whedon is coming back to the small screen, and he's bringing the Marvel universe with him.
ABC and Marvel have confirmed that Whedon is developing a TV series spinoff from The Avengers, based around the top-secret Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D.) organization that recently brought Earth's Mightiest Heroes together on the big screen.

The series will technically be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though Variety reports the storylines will be mostly "autonomous" from upcoming sequels such as Avengers 2 and Iron Man 3. That means it's unlikely that big-screen mainstays like Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow and Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye will be prominently featured on the show—but who's to say they can't pop up from time to time?

Whedon is signed on to co-write the pilot with his brother (and frequent collaborator) Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, and will stay on to help develop the broad strokes. Assuming it's picked up, Jed and Tancharoen would join Jeph Loeb and Jeffrey Bell as executive producers.

If some of those names sound familiar, they should, because virtually everyone Whedon is bringing on board has worked with him on his former TV projects Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

For us, that means all these excellent writers are going to have big budgets and a bigger platform to play with, and with some autonomy from the films, they may get a long leash to really dig in and make this a compelling series.

Hoping to capitalize on the box-office love, ABC is putting the series into production immediately—so hopefully we'll have some more details soon.

Sound off: Do you think the Marvel universe is a good fit for live-action TV?

[mistercharlie]

Sounds cool. Jeph Loeb is a great writer. I'd probably watch the series.

[rowjimmy]

And Joss Whedon makes things that don't suck so... I'm in.
