I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I've been poking through other reboot articles on Newsarama, and I didn't realize there are huge rumors of reboot!Superman being a single dude. That feels gimmicky.

OTOH, if the reboot is making the characters younger, then it makes sense, timeline-wise.

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.

HARLEEN FRANCIS QUINZEL YOU GO PUT SOME PANTS ON RIGHT NOW, YOUNG LADY. And a blouse. And lace your damn corset properly.

Yeah. I'm really not digging the new Harley Quinn.

And here I thought her outfits in the Batman: Arkham games were bad...

That interview with Gail Simone makes me feel a little better about the whole thing, though this still seems like a bad idea.

Also, what's up with everyone wearing black and red? First most of the Teen Titans, and now Nightwing.

Speaking of the Titans, who the heck is freaky cyborg-lizard chick in the lower left?

Gnnnng. Don't remind me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

THANK YOU for having my back on the Harley... thing. I refuse to dignify it by calling it a costume, it's not an outfit, and it's most decidedly not a suit; it's just a ... thing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

It is in desperate need of a defender, and from the ranks of Batman Incorporated comes a soldier to carry on the legacy of The Dark Knight in the most tumultuous region on Earth. Meet Batwing, the Batman of Africa!

Who now? Is this a new thing? Given the reference to Batman Incorporated, I assume so.

Resurrection Man can’t stay dead for long, though – and with each rebirth comes new and unexpected powers. But his many returns have not gone unnoticed, and forces are gathering to learn what’s so special about him – and to see which of them will finally stop Resurrection Man dead.

I am guessing...none of them. Who the hell is this guy?? Heh.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

So, Buffy Season 8. I tried to keep up, but gave it up after the Fray stuff (about midway through), but decided to skim through some of the collections in the bookstsore.

Buffy and Angel zooming around earth naked having sex and causing the earth's temperature to rise? What the hell was that?!?!?! Ack!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I assume someone introduced Joss to high grade recreational drugs just before he began that arc.
