It was Blackbeard's "Bat-People, eh? Why'd they call 'em that, I can't help wonder." It just tickled me.
Heh. Blackbeard, you uttered the incantation to bring forth the Bat-People upon your ass.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
here’s a look at Shawna Trpcic’s designs for the character, as commissioned by Joss Whedon who, at the time was prepping a Wonder Woman movie that never happened.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That second design is highly silly.
But I like that in most of their revamps they keep the iconic boots and gauntlets.

Casanova is back! In color! Huzzah.
And Batman & Robin #13 is SO GOOD. Demian and Connor (er, from Angel) should have playdates.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Just watched Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. It was pretty good. I miss the style/voices of the TV series, but it was still very enjoyable. I can also see where the storyline originally would have worked as a bridge between the JL and JLU series.

move out and draw fire
It wasn't bad, although I couldn't decide if the analogues (Owlman and a woman with dark brown straight hair who wears black and yellow and is involved with Owlman) were knowing nods to Watchmen or just plagarism.

Wikipedia says Owlman and Superwoman date back to 1964.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think it was the other way around, actually.

Yeah, Watchmen was based on a bunch of characters that they eventually didn't let Alan Moore use directly. Rorschach was The Question for example (and closer to Ditko's original version - scary Randian tendencies and all - as opposed to the 80s re-run).

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I learned that here.
