Batman Family (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
In Batman Family Batgirl and Robin team up without their mentor. I guess Batman thought they were ready to handle things like the ghost of Benedict Arnold. And that’s right out of the gate! I’m completely serious, the story is too, and so is Chris Sims of Comics Alliance.
I assume the next scene is Firestorm challenging them to the ice bucket challenge by force.

“Burn, Manhattan, Burn!” WRITER/EDITOR: Gerry Conway PENCILER: Rafael Kayaman INKER: Allan Kupperberg COLORIST: Nansi Hoolihan LETTERER: Phil Feliz
Also a wise move? The Rock as Black Adam.
Word is that the producer of the Captain Marvel movie will be staying out of Nolan’s dark and gritty continuity in favor of something more, well, like the source material. A DC comic movie that isn’t afraid of being light and fun? Never thought I’d see the day again.
Also, I just noticed Leon is the only character with their mouth colored in. {facepalm}
Hey, I bought some new comics this week. So there will be a Best Scene award next week. Not this week, though. I’m hoping to have an actual Video Review this month, but next week I’m aiming for a BW Panelling. I still have a lot of those to catch up on.
The Press Junkets are back! Since I didn’t have a hotel room and was smart enough not to drive the interstate all the way up there at rush hour, I was only able to sit in on one press junket, and I didn’t get to ask any questions. Janet Varney is a voice actress and podcaster as well as a comedienne. In the last press junket of the day, and our first installment, she discussed the buzz around a new Avatar series, as she plays the title character in the spin-off The Legend Of Korra, podcasting, the state of women in comedy, and cosplayers.
Considering how high up they are, Superman better catch Lion-O before he uses one of the nine lives up.
Superman/Thundercats
DC/Wildstorm (January, 2004)
WRITER: Judd Winick PENCILER: Alé Garza INKER: Trevor Scott SELECTED COVER ARTISTS: Ed McGuinness & Jason Martin COLORIST: Chris Walker LETTERER: Nick Napolitano DESIGN: Larry Berry ASSISTANT EDITOR: Kristy Quinn EDITORS: Eddie Berganza & Alex Sinclair “SUPERMAN” CREATORS: Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster “THUNDERCATS” CREATOR: Ted WolfSurprisingly, Godzilla has not won me any tournaments. Well, we’re back to the hard-to-scan Essentials black & white so let’s go for levity today. You know, that thing today’s DC runs from like a zombie Black Lantern. No, this week’s hero is Homer Simpson. That should tell you how desperate we are this week.
Still looks better than that Pieman thing he does in the Super Specials.
