He's older than JGL. So I'm gonna hold tight to my dream, then. But they're both too old, IMO.
As long as Zoe Saldana doesn't play Agent 355, though.
Hauser: You really think you can solve the problem? Come into Wolfram & Hart and make everything right? Turn night into glorious day? You pathetic little fairy. Angel: I'm not little.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've just (finally) finished reading Y: The Last Man, and I'm so very sad. Why can't any of my fiction make me happy, dammit?
I had a feeling you the ending was going to make you sad. It certainly bummed me out.
If I had my druthers it would be an HBO series, not a movie.
Speaking of BKV, I just finished the first volume of Runaways. I'm really liking it so far. How does it fare when other writers take it over (without getting into specifics)?

Joss Whedon's run was not well received, but I think some of it had to do with the fact that his issues were super late. Personally, I enjoyed his story.
Terry Moore's run is SO BAD. He doesn't seem to get the book at all, and the art is all wrong. I haven't bothered to buy it. I may buy it for completism's sake at some point. Maybe.
Kathryn Immonen's run is definitely an improvement. She's no BKV, but I think she got the book. Plus, the art is better.
It's on indefinite hiatus or something right now; I have no idea whether it's ever coming back. She was mum on it at Comic-Con last year.

Why is the Robin of YJ Dick and not Tim? It's disconcerting.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
For the same reason it's Wally and not Bart. It makes no sense. You just have to go with the flow.

Don't mess with the Titans of yore! Looking at the character design, I guess I can tell it's Wally, but I never would have gotten that it was Dick under that Robin mask without help.
Looks like they make Bane darker-skinned here, but I don't think it counts enough for me to say his overall portrayal is as non-white in canon. I mean, given YJ seems tangential at best.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Is this the TV show of YJ or the comic?
Relatedly, I picked up 4-5 months' worth of comics today. Maybe if I went in more often I wouldn't be shocked at the total bill for that many all at once.

TV Show.
I've decided to collect Batman & Robin, Gates of Gotham, and Batman Inc, for the moment. So I'm trying to go back and get all or most of those issues, and it's not bad. Going to go curl up with Damian bludgeoning the shit out of the Joker. I love that kid.

I was glancing through Holli's flickr set and came across a picture that I wanted Teppy to see.
