Somedays even the most resourceful caped crusader just can’t find a safe place to dispose of a bomb.

Monday, August 15, 2011

Comments Off

“The Law is a Joke!”; Cliff Robinson commission – a “What If…The Joker became Chief Judge of Mega City One?” Hmmm…. the law is a joke…. bankers vs dodgy MPs vs stupid kids looting – bonuses, excuses and jail sentences for nicking a bottle of water. Seems rather apt. (Via 2000AD Online, but somewhere along [...]

The French Batman vs The Racists…..

There’s a new Batman title called Batman Inc. and from what I gather it involves Bruce Wayne franchising out the Batman role around the world. Yes, it’s McDark Knight. I haven’t read it. Apologies.

Holy Kaw! casts its beady eyes over the evolution of the Bat logo worn by the Dark Knight across the many decades of the Batman’s history. I know the logo has changed, sometimes in small ways, sometimes in major ways, over the years but it’s something you don’t tend to actively notice or think about [...]
