I'm sad. The first I hear that Harvey Pekar has died is in "La Cucaracha".
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

I started watching Under the Red Hood tonight, and god DAMN if Jensen Ackles isn't PERFECT for Jason Todd. Wow.
Also? Neil Patrick Harris as Nightwing? AWESOME.
I'm not too far into it yet, and I gotta hit pause and go to bed. Still, I'm liking what I've seen so far.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, I can totally see that when I think about it, except for the part where BOOM

Try John Di Maggio as the Joker. I will NEVER be able to watch Futurama again. He is fucking *creepy.*

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
god DAMN if Jensen Ackles isn't PERFECT for Jason Todd
He really was. I was worried there'd be Winchester carryover, but no. And NPH was on fire. There should have been more Nightwing.
I really liked it. Enough maybe to give it another watch before it rolls off my iTunes rental. However that works. I didn't realise it wasn't going to be available on Netflix until late August, and I have the stupid Apple TV anyway, so I might as well take advantage of the setup.
Funniest comment I've seen on Red Hood so far:
The real standout was Ackles - he's becoming the go-to guy for characters with severe daddy issues caused by emotionally witholding and mission obsessed father figures.
