Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
Burton's movies featured a Batwing equipped with giant scissors and an army of penguins wearing rockets on their backs.
Point. I haven't watched those movies in ages. I just remember everyone being shocked at how "dark" they were because most non-comic folks were used to the 60's TV/Super Friends Batman.
Gail Simone has been fired from Batgirl: [link]
Which adds one more to the tally of JUST HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO GUT ME, DC?
edit: on the plus side, I apparently just introduced several of my non-fan twitter friends to the word "cockpunch". Go me?
By email, even:
As of Wednesday of last week, I was informed by an email from my new editor that I am no longer the writer of Batgirl.
There should be a rule about that. Phones, people!
Srsly. Possibly worse than an email breakup.

@GailSimone did you not put enough women in refrigerators or something?
@themikecnelson Funny you should say that.
Yikes indeed. Who do you fridge in Batgirl? I only read the first issue.
Just re-watched Alpha Male through Misplaced tonight.
Dick's "I don't want to be Batman - anymore." in Disordered... oof. Especially in light of what he ends up doing as Nightwing in Season 2.
Also, as much as I love Brent Spiner, his Joker in Revelation is just as lousy the second time around. (Though I blame part of it on the lines he was given.)
Hey, Steph: [link]
It's for Vertigo, so using a whip to enforce the serial comma would probably be expected.
Heh. This requirement leaves me RIGHT OUT:
Must have the ability to communicate effectively and tactfully with managers and other levels of personnel.
Tactful, I ain't. That's why I'm an editor.
I notice that tactful isn't a requirement for dealing with writers and artists. Hence Gail Simone finding out she was fired by e-mail.
