None from me, either.
Oh, I plan to talk about the idiot move putting Luthor in the Justice League tonight. Before I do, however, check out what fellow Friday Night Fighter Snell has to say.
He couldn’t do that in the Batman costume. At least not as well.

I’ve also seen pics of Wally’s new 52 outfit. Reminds me of the electric Superman.
Yep, I heard that Ted Kord may be coming back as the Blue Beetle. Watch them suck the fun out of him, too. Also…

…I wasn’t kidding about Wally 52.
- The Clutter Reports: With no time to clean or review I popped up one of my old Scanning My Collection articles, looking at the first issue of Justice League Of America I ever owned, the source of at least three Friday Night Fights (and I think having room for one or two more in the future).
- Reviewers Unknown: This time I went to an old (but fairly recent) Clutter review of Toa Nuva Gali from the Bionicle line.
I know that only one comic had a Best Scene nomination but considering how long it’s been since I have new comics to review….
Best Scene of This Week’s Reviews
Scooby-Doo Team-Up #2
“And now Frank Miller with the weather. Frank?”
I picked up three new comics this week so there are three new chances for a Best Scene nomination. I seemed to have missed both the latest Astro City and The Fox and I’m hoping to change that. The problem is that having an untrustworthy income source like unemployment I’m not ready to resume ordering comics since you never know what’s going to happen, I have big bills to pay, and it’s not like I have huge buck coming in. Hopefully I get finished setting up soon so I can hunt some paying gigs with BW as my resume…or even better my income source. We’ll see what happens.
Anyway, this week I should finally be getting some more convention coverage up with my first in a series of press junket videos. One of the holdups this week was creating a new intro for that which I hope you’ll like considering it’s coming from a rank amateur. It’s also technically animated, but nothing spectacular. I still put a lot of work into it and considering my current skill level I’m pretty happy with how it came out. Since Saturday Night Showcase is focusing on Filmation/Hal Sutherland until the end of February you’ll hopefully see for yourself by Thursday night’s posting.

I can’t seen to find when Hal Sutherland was born. I do know that word came this week that the last of the Filmation founders had passed away. (Norm Prescott passed in 2005 and Lou Schimer late last year.) Sutherland used to work as a Disney animator but he will be forever known as one of the founders of Filmation as well as director on many of their shows, sometimes a few episodes, sometimes a season, and sometimes a full series.
With Saturday Night Showcase back in action, I’m devoting the rest of this month and all of February’s postings to Sutherland in particular and Filmation in general. The studio gets a lot of flack for the cost cutting reuse of cels and bases but their writing and effects made up for it in my opinion.
To start, we’re taking a look at the one episode of He-Man & The Masters Of The Universe he directed. “Daimar The Demon” finds Orko wanting someone to play with…and nearly destroying Eternia. By accident as opposed to whatever Giffen and DC’s New 52 has done to him!

I couldn’t find an intro for the Galaxy Trio that explained who they were but this shows off what they can do. Airing alongside Birdman, as I explained in the previous post today, this team of heroes seems all but forgotten. Luckily someone remembered them, leading to tonight’s fight.
And I know we went to this series last week, but that’s what happens when you go through your old comics.

Kind of tough to joke about this one. Everyone’s just kind of all over the place.

A little different for the morning post, but…remember Batkid? Five year old cancer survivor Miles Scott wanted to be Batman for his Make-A-Wish wish and things ended up bigger than either he or the organization thought it would be. In the following video from the San Francisco area chapter is the chronicle of Miles’ day as a crimefighter that captured the hears of the citizens..of the world!
