May 22, 2015 3:48 pm The armor in the dumpster - That was from the beginning of Endgame, it was to dress up as a god for that theater Bruce funded that he and Superman fought in. That it was being thrown away was symbolizing Batman being "dead." Because he's a little godlike.
November 15, 2012 8:23 pm Obviously not. I was wrong. Somehow these people exist, although logic is telling me there can't possibly be more than two dozen people who think this way. Although logic has been wrong before. I will say though that it would help if you linked this in the article; I didn't even know what palate was being cleansed. (This is the only comics site I read). Or maybe don't link it; what do I know.
November 15, 2012 6:28 pm I was kind of thinking that too. If she doesn't like that people are skeptical about girls liking comics, I can very much understand that. But I'm not sure anyone has ever actually said these people who take all this time to build these costumes and parade around with all these other people who do the same thing aren't at least a little dorky.
November 5, 2012 10:22 pm One of my favorite writer/artists.
October 23, 2012 11:37 pm I posted a comment above, but I did just realize something: The "If it doesn't affect you, don't complain about it" argument actually doesn't make sense. The stuff going on in Syria and Libya doesn't affect me, neither does Foxconn or Guantanamo Bay. Really, the stuff that actually affects me is a very, very small circle of things: My job, my family, my stability... that kind of thing. We all talk about things that don't affect us, and that's okay.
October 22, 2012 6:04 pm I very much do this, but I do it with men too. Every time I hear anyone say they're a "Total Nerd" on a talk show or something, I'm always suspicious, because there's a definite chance that that person's trying to inject some kind of fake adversity into their life so that people think they went through "Rough times". This is supposed to make celebrities feel more relate-able to us, and it turns me off when people try to be manipulative about the way I think of them. It says that they're out for attention, and that's the kind of person I hate. On the other hand though, I think you're overestimating how much people get worked up over this stuff. You'll see it on message boards, sure, but you see everything on message boards. The number of people who don't like celebrities saying they're nerds is ten times the amount posts you see on message boards about it, but the rest of us just live with it. If someone's bullshitting to try and appeal to a larger audience I just stop paying attention to that person. I have no idea what Olivia Munn is doing right now, for instance. I don't know if it's irony or not, but we actually take your friends' advice: Ignore the trolls. And I think you missed something about that X-Man joke. They clarified that she thought Hugh Jackman played X-Man at the bottom of the picture, which makes it irrelevant that there's an actual X-Man character.
October 12, 2012 3:56 am The creepiest parts were definitely him standing in the doorway, and telling Gordon that he's been under his bed when he sleeps at night. It's really hard to scare me when I consume any media, but those two things genuinely made me feel uneasy. Everything else was obviously great too.
October 3, 2012 11:36 pm I saw IGN's list of Top 25 Batman Stories and it made me want to buy the TDKR trade. It very much got me hooked on comics. I loved it the whole way through, but specifically the part where Bats is blacking out in the Tunnel of Love... I could feel my heart beating faster, I was genuinely nervous. That never happens to me when I'm watching movies, or TV shows, or whatever, and it really sticks out in my memory. I had to take a break from reading for a couple of seconds. Not the craziest answer, and probably a little cliched, but still.
September 10, 2012 7:55 pm I think Greg has a good point, there are people who will act a certain way to get attention. Olivia Munn's made a career out of it. The thing is that it's usually younger people, and that most young men are scared that women don't like guys who read comics. And even if the person has read only Watchmen or TDKR, which is fine, if they're shoving their love of it in everyone's faces like Jim said it's going to be supremely annoying.
August 31, 2012 8:56 pm I was surprised at how much I didn't like this. For whatever reasons, Dillon didn't come through with the facial expressions he normally does really well, and Peter has never had hair that stands up. On the writing side, although I know JMS' Aunt May did something similar, the idea of Aunt May talking about sex to make Peter uneasy seems out of character, and saying that Uncle Ben kept buying baseball gloves to "See if it would take" isn't like Uncle Ben at all. The beginning sequence was really funny though.
