Batman books

As long as they keep making the Arkham games I don't even care.

Also Ben Affleck is pretty good.

Yeah, the butthurt faded quickly. The Dark Knight Trilogy was everything I ever wanted, so I could care less if any future films stink. I enjoyed Man of Steel on a superficial level, but the plot was thin everywhere and a lot of it just seemed stupid, so I just don't expect this film to be good even if Affleck is good.

Still hoping for that Batman Beyond movie, though.

Bump.

Well, Warner Brothers won their latest round of copyright fun with Joe Shuster's estate, so SKO's beloved Justice League movie will be able to go ahead as planned.

They announced at Comic Con that Man of Steel 2 will be Batman vs. Superman in the summer of 2015. I still haven't seen Man of Steel, but I haven't heard much to give me hope this won't suck.

Bump so Fork can make an excruciatingly painful quip about Matt Damon playing Robin.

If they can work in Jennifer Garner in any tight-fitting costume, it's all good - just cover her Dumbo ears.

Abed Fork is Batman Chuck now.

Affleck will probably be fine. The movie will be as mindlessly entertaining and dumb as Man of Steel was, I'm sure. But...yeah..my initial reaction was not positive.

They show Superman movies to foreigners? It's not called Truth, Justice, and the Belgian Way, for fuck's sake.

You're forgetting Mark Millar's classic A Walloon For All Seasons, where Superman is raised by a Flemish chocolatier.

How could anyone forget that?  Probably the best rape scenes Millar's ever written.

Walloon, or Flemish?  Make up your mind.  Tsk.

For an Australian, you sure are anal about the terms used in your adopted home.

Watching the final Dark Knight flick again I feel like they left a lot to be desired. I still think the animated films both Year One and The Dark Knight Returns were better.

I still love Rises, but it has its flaws. I feel like it tried to accomplish too much in the time it had, but the performances, the ending, and Bane in particular were so perfect it's hard for me to complain. That said, both Year One and Returns were outstanding. The final confrontation with the Joker in Returns was so brutal and magnificent.

So I went to the library and picked up volumes 1-3 of the New 52 Batman title by Scott Snyder. It's good stuff. I liked it a lot more than what Grant Morrison's done with Batman the last five-six years (I don't dislike him by any stretch, but I also don't think of him as the Best Batman Writer Evar like many I know do). Led to me getting a comixology subscription and subscribing to an active title for the first time in ten years. I'd recommend it to any Batman fans, especially those who like the Arkham Games, since it's pretty close to that version of the character/universe.

TPD:

Today is Batman Day, and comixology is having an absolutely Massive Batman sale. The app is free to download, I think, and they have up to 750 different Batman comics on sale for .99, plus several graphic novels for 2.99 (normally $12.99). I bought Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, The Black Mirror, and The Killing Joke for less than $12.00. So if you like Batman and have a smart phone/tablet....this is something you might want to look into.

My 5-year old daughter has gotten pretty into Harley Quinn the past couple of months.  I have no idea how this happened.

I got her "Preludes and Knock Knock Jokes" but it's a little advanced for a 5-year old.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

My recommendation would be to try and have her like a character who isn't terrible and frequently written as the sick fantasy of mysognist assholes.

Otherwise, I have no idea. I would honestly hope to god there aren't a ton of young children's books about Harley Quinn. If you find them, let me know, and I'll mourn for this country.

I guess Mad Love would be okay. It's just the comic book adaption of the animated series episode about Harley's origin. It's still fairly complex but shouldn't be traumatizing, at least.

DPD but not that Harley Quinn as she was depicted on the cartoon at least is anymore disturbing than the Joker, or anything, and I can see how the funny accent and stuff could be appealing to a kid, but as far as the books go she's been largely re-written over the last decade to be just a really deplorable character who is frequently forced into some pretty degrading situations, so you're probably not gonna find too many books that you'd want the kid reading.
