Those are great, Tom.
So I'm in the Parc Guell gift shop when I see something awesomely ridiculous:
Batman: Barcelona: El Caballero del Dragon
WHAT! How did I not know about this? It was written by Mark Waid and everything; it came out last year. I had to buy it, especially since it was only 6 Euros for a hardback 64-page one-shot. And then I got one for my brother because he would also appreciate the hilarity of Killer Croc yelling, "Eres hombre muerto!" (Followed by "Yaaah! Mis ojos!") Bats chases Croc through Las Ramblas and they do battle on La Sagrada Familia (which appears to have been transposed to the Gothic Quarter).
Best souvenir ever?
OMG P-C HOW MANY COPIES DO THEY HAVE????

Well my friends went to Barcelona and brought me back porn so I'm not quite sure. Does Bats get tied up naked at all?

They had quite a few! If Parc Guell weren't such a pain to get to, I would go grab you a copy, but if I see it in another gift shop, I will pick it up (they may be in the Sagrada Familia gift shop, for instance). They released it simultaneously in the U.S., Spain, and Italy, but the Spanish edition is a special hardcover and has an introduction by the mayor of Barcelona and extras in the back (I think we just got a regular issue). You may be able to find the American edition in the back issues at your comic book store, or you can order this thing:

It also includes Batman's adventures in Scotland, among other places.
Does Bats get tied up naked at all?
He does not pay a visit to the Museu l'Erotica, no. I did, however.
I haven't been keeping up with Batman: The Brave and the Bold but apparently a recent episode featured the Birds of Prey and they had a little musical number about certain heroes "attributes". [link]
That's awesome! Nice tune too, though Aquaman's little fish will linger in my mind.
Isaiah Mustafa is Luke Cage!
Beta Ray Bill is not a horse.

There were only four issues, but The Imp was one of the best comics fanzines ever. And now you can download them! The Jack Chick issue is pretty amazing.
