Seriously, these two should hook-up! They're both vastly superior beings. Both of them are loners of sorts. Also, they're both so damned serious! It would be nice to see how these two forces of good do when things heat up between the sheets! 19 Comments
Whenever Courtney posts a blog, Comicsman posts several hundred at once. And when Comicsman posts one blog, Courtney posts several hundred. Hmmm, reminds me of my friend Clark. Whenever Superman shows up, Clark is nowhere to be found, and when Superman leaves, Clark just pops.....HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!!!
When writers refer to specifc pop culture figures and events, I think that the comic becomes dated. In the very moment when the issue appears, sure, people will feel a connection to the character and story. However, wait a few years, and then you read the same issue, and find that the reference is outmoded. I think this is a blunder on the part of the writers to reach out to current, young, and "hip" readers. The stories should be timeless, absenting the sartorial styles of the time. Contrived references are a bit cheap, in my opinion, such as Deadpool referring to Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga in "Deadpool:Wade Wilson's War" #2 (BTW, that Preview Theatre installment was the inspiration for this blog post, and I think it was one of the funniest and entertaining PT's to date!) I understand that Deadpool likes to play with references and is kind of "with it," when it comes to popular culture, but I just don't think this serves the creativity and lasting impact of these stories....

Batman: The Brave and the Bold...do we need this anymore in comics?! We spent so many years undoing the silver age mess from the fifties and the sixties. Grant Morrison is doing a great job reviving some of these earlier stories through his Batman RIP storyline. Why then, give us more tongue-n-cheek garbagee? The TV series is enough. Basta!
The question on everyone's mind...what will Dick Grayson do when Bruce comes back? Will he give up the cape and cowl? Prob'ly. But, what if he doesn't want to give it up. What kind of nastiness may go down if Dick decides to keep on truckin' as Batman? And if he does, what, another Nightwing costume? Where o' where will this man go in his life? Must Bruce Wayne stay 'dead' in order for Dick Grayson to be a fully realized man? Thoughts...

Would Mary Jane always be faithful to Peter. He's always leaving her alone while he plays with Black-Cat and who knows who else. A girl can get lonely, you know.
I mean, he gets it on with all these other women, and knowing the thing between Batman and Catwoman, does it really matter if the guy is different beneath the mask? Maybe she gets off on the costume, like a fetish.
