Oh, Man… Batman Talk Again
As luck would have it, I received a McFarland Toys version of the Joker for Christmas. It’s a really great figure, and it sparked a revisit of the 60’s series and movies. Yes — movieS, as I’m including the two animated films starring West, Ward and Newmar. But wait! The list is yet to come: […]

Batman’s Wedding
I bought into the hype, the news coverage, the coverage of the spoiler in the other coverage and all that stuff. I went to a comic shop and bought the special, first-print, non-alternate cover of “Batman #50,” aka the “Batman and Catwoman’s Wedding Issue.” And I bought the one before it, #49.

15 Thoughts on “The Dark Knight Rises”
It came, I saw, I thought about it for a long time. Here now are a collection of thoughts that make it seem like I hated this movie. Which I didn’t. Mild spoilers ahead. 1.) This is not my Batman. We own a couple titles in the “That’s Not My ____” line of baby books. […]

Batman Translations
Henry has had a couple days of Batman-fueled energy. He can’t stop talking about it, or like it, or quoting it. It’s like he’s reading my mind. It’s never easy understanding a toddler. Here now are his translations for Batman-related phrases. “Bat-nand” = Batman. “Wah-din” = Robin. “Bat Cabe” = Batmobile. It sounds like “Bat […]
