You know when you went to go rent Transformers at Blockbuster Video and right next to it is a movie called Transmorphers? Some piece of shit movie that was made to capitalize on the success of Transformers. So when when you tell your Grandma if she can go rent Transformers for, you cause you really like Michael Bay films and can’t wait to see Optimus Prime yell “Auto-Bots, ROLL OUT!”, your poor old grandma comes back with TransMORPHERS because she is too feeble to tell the difference between the boxes there on the blockbuster shelf.

Batman: The Dark Knight is the comic book equivalent of motherfucking Transmorphers.

12 YEAR OLD BOY:
“Hey Grandma? Can you stop by the comic book store on your way home from bingo and pick me up a copy of Batman #1? I love Greg Capullos art and Scott Snyder is soooo awesome!”

GRANDMA:
“Sure sonny. I think I have enough pennys in my change purse to get that funny book for ya.”

12 YEAR OLD BOY:
“Thanks G’Ma. Love you.”

CUT TO 5 HOURS LATER

GRANDMA:
“Here you go sonny, I got that there batman magazine for you.”

12 YEAR OLD BOY:
“Oh great! Thanks so much Gran….. uh, wait a sec…..this isn’t Batman #1 Grandma. This is Batman: The Dark Knight #1! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

GRANDMA:
“Oh, well they’re all the same sonny. Now go one and read your comic and don’t let me forget to take that video Transmorphers back for you later.”

12 YEAR OLD BOY:
under his breath, “Stupid old bitch.”

Story: 1 - Poor
Art: 4 - Very Good

  1. Analogies are powerful tools. Thanks for the good review, I’ll skip this one. You saved me $2.99

  2. Transmorphers! Ha! I couldn’t have said it better.

    • Heh, I’ve never actually watched Transmorphers, just seen the box on the video store shelf. Who knows, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s a really great film.

      off to go rent that shit.

      😉
