Some Quick Thoughts on Batman #40 (Endgame Finale) (SPOILERS)
He took the time to put lipstick on the T-Rex. That is commitment.
– The Bat Family & rogues gallery vs Joker was great. Loved the chaos of it all.
– Joker quips, makes dark jokes, etc. People are always bitching about Joker being too dark, never being funny anymore, and I guess it all depends on how "funny" you want the clown to be, or in what way, but I think we see that Mistah J isn’t just some horror beast
Batman is just doing what you want, Joker. He gave you the Dick.

Lupin III – New Series PV
Batman v Superman Trailer #1 (Short)
I really like how they captured the skepticism and mixed reactions the world would have should somebody like Superman turn up in the world. And of course the nod to The Dark Knight Returns. But please refrain from the shallow "IT’S TOO GRIMDARK" blanket criticism. You know the two heroes are going to end up friends, they just don’t want to give away what that looks like in the FIRST TRAILER, FFS.
I’m still seeing bullshit about Man of Steel being too dreary and hopeless. What the fuck movie were you watching? Sure, you can argue it was a Superman movie seen through a somewhat dirty lens, but not through a dark one.

Otaku Evolution Episode 36 – The Vision of Escaflowne
IMMEDIATELY flagged for copyright violations! Thanks, Bandai, you greedy fuckers. Maybe one day Japan will have Fair Use laws, but I wouldn’t count on it, because entertainment execs there are even greedier than human tumors we have over here. The Fair Use law over here means exactly shit these days as it is. But the video is still up, so watch it.
Tarot card-reading high school girl Hitomi Kanzaki finds herself in a strange world of beast men, dragons, magic, swordsmen, and miracle machines that run on bullshit in this anime classic. Join me as I briefly examine The Vision of Escaflowne, a show touched by many a great number of talents.
Batman Eternal #52 (FINALE) Review
Here comes the sun, doodoodoodoo,
Here comes the sun,
And I say,
It’s Dark Knight…
At long last, a villain from the past and our hero are cast into one final blast, to complete this black mass, and allies amass in this conclusion quite vast. It’s the final issue of DC’s weekly Batman celebration, Batman Eternal. One more villain revelation. One more race to the finish. One last bout with a rival. Last stands, surrenders, defenders, sneers, cheers, and a new status quo, all this this fifty-second, and ending chapter. As revealed last issue, as I had surmised for some time, Lincoln March steered this plan from the start, even if it didn’t originate from him. Though some of my assumptions proved slightly off, generally I was correct in my deductions, and any differences are quite amusing directions that I’m satisfied with. The issue plays off at once the conclusion of this story and a great coda for the Snyder Batman, even if the actual scripting was done by another.
