I was going to make a “going out for pizza” joke but they actually get take-out in the story.

Well, that’s it. No more bible to go through. We’ve looked at every entry put into the story bible for Batman: The Animated Series. This is my favorite take on Batman, a serious show that knew when not to take itself so seriously. Batman was even allowed to smile now and then. When do you see that unless he’s putting on his “Bruce Wayne” act?
Over the course of the past bunch of weeks we’ve seen the original ideas and what they eventually went with and it’s rather telling what can change between the initial ideas and when it finally gets on-screen. So why make a show bible at all?
And to think Clark used to be so good at making friends.

Netflix is slowly becoming more known for its original productions, including an alliance with Marvel Studio, than the old shows and movies it used to be known for when it was in part responsible for the downfall of Blockbuster and other video rental stores. (The last one around here closed a year or so ago due to sheer dedication.) However, all that plus new competitors in the on-demand streaming market like HBO have forced them to raise prices now and then, and ScreenCrush reports they’re about to do it again. How much and is this a sign of things to come?

The fact that we still exist proves we haven’t discovered time travel.
I don’t care how cool it would be to see what color dinosaurs really are or to see a lost loved one a final time, but you know jokers would be trying to either “fix” a past mistake or stop Hitler/save JFK, and the end result will screw up space/time and the human race, if not the universe. Doctor Who makes time travel look fun, but the ramifications aren’t worth it. I would, however, like a vehicle that’s bigger on the inside than outside and house at least a studio apartment inside. That would save on housing taxes, hotel fees, AND travel expenses. Time travel can stay a mystery.
Well, tomorrow we finally wrap up Batman: The Animated Bible with a few thoughts. Meanwhile it’s time to debut the DCAU’s Superman Adventures comic as we have finally reached that point. Masters Of The Universe makes a debut in “Yesterday’s” with the one DC issue I own pre-52, back during the classic period of the 80. Dreamwave’s G1 Transformers finally reaches the main series with the first miniseries…aka proof that Simon Furman only has the worst Transformers tales because of Generation Two and ReGeneration One. And what he did to Arcee. We will also be saying goodbye to Metal Guardian Faust because Viz foolishly didn’t continue translating the series or someone in Japan foolishly stopped making it. I’m trying to decide if I should find another robot series or another manga series published in normal US comic format. I’m hoping to have the first BW Panelling of ConnectiCon 2015 up and running for Saturday. And hopefully Sunday we’ll have our first weekly installment of Chapter By Chapter (I was sick this week, this time with gas–this week’s Clutter Report was just a repost of the Precocious review from yesterday). Finally I’m trying to work on a banner for a new article series, but I won’t be able to start said series until I have more drawing time. Patreon supporters have an easier time with that teaser thanks to the first Progress Report posting there and I’m still not telling which one I’m talking about. Also, this section doesn’t get posted to Patreon, just Jake & Leon. More fun to come here at BW Media Spotlight.
It’s time for a new (although short thanks to events) round of Press Junket videos…although everybody else there already posted theirs and the ones I missed (thanks to the same and other events). Our first installment this cycle features the current voice of Goofy, Bill Farmer.
