I wasn’t into Batman: The Dark Knight. It’s just not my kind of Batman movie, but I do admit it was good. It was also very popular and since I know the benefit of getting to see a favorite movie on the big screen, you might want to know, if you’re in the right states, you can see this movie in theaters.
I don’t know how long they’re going to keep them, but given how many costume redesigns they’ve had since the New 52 you really can’t mess with a classic look. I have a feeling it’s not permanent. Rebirth has improved but the “cool kids” are willing to accept the alleged underwear. Just make it a one-piece and blame the lack of fabric or how plain the blue looks. If the red look like underwear over the outfit the blue just looks like pajamas.
Well, I finally finished my comic-organizing project. I even took on a few extra to finish the week. Now some time to breath and take on some digital clutter organizing while I review Transformers for a few weeks, and then I can decide what to do next.
So you may have noticed Wednesday I reviewed the first of the Marvel run on Disney’s Gargoyles. While I reviewed the Slave Labor Graphics one as it came out I have done the Marvel set, so we’ll be doing that over the next few weeks. And also this week it’s a comic that’s become infamous here at the Spotlight, to the point that a discussion on it has gotten me a link from TV Tropes. If you’re new here and want to prepare for what’s coming, this is the article you want to read first. For those of you who know it or are waiting for the straight review, prepare for Transformers Spotlight: Arcee. And my immediate warning to any transgendered person out there. You might not like this one. I’ll take the taste out with a Finally Watched like I planned last week, because I want to finally watch Pacific Rim. Robots versus giant monsters. I really better like this. Please don’t let this be another Dino Squad.
This was supposed to go up in Saturday Night Showcase’s place but of course I had technical issues. Anyway, I’ve learned a bit more about what is and isn’t going to be lost with my YouTube Partnership status and some other reasons as to why this change is being implemented. It still isn’t fair and I don’t know who this is going to hurt, but it’s still worth trying to get right.

We have a theme for the Prize Fight. I don’t mind a theme for the Prize Fight because it’s a special occasion. Our tournament name has been “Roundhouse” but it wasn’t clear if it was a roundhouse punch or a roundhouse kick coming our way. Well, it’s the roundhouse kick as the Prize Fight rule is that the fight must include a foot to the face. And there’s only comic I could possibly use…because it’s the only comic I reviewed this week that matched the criteria.
If you recall from Monday, Nightwing had been shot, but why let a little thing like being shot twice get in the way of beating a bad guy up? Especially when you have bulletproof clothing.
