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

I look more rad than Lutheranism
What worldview?
I'm thinking of The Killing Joke -- that this world is so fucked-up that the only possible response is insanity.

Yeah, I figured that's what you were talking about, but I read that a year ago, so I couldn't remember exactly what he said.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
What worldview?

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Yeah, everyone thinks Batman is fucked up; they've just got different and often conflicting explanations of how.

Micole, there's at least one book on it (How to Read Superhero Comics and Why--I love it, despite myself, and blame it for me falling further into this than just the occasional graphic novel), and Te's been collecting links in her memories section.
I have half-formed ideas and analysis in my head, but right now, I'm completely kid-in-candyshop about it, and not much comes out beyond glurble squee flail.

If you do it on the David Endochrine show it certainly is.

Is there a good place for actual Bverse comics analysis out there?
I honestly don't know, although I think one would be welcomed. (LJ community? Someone should volunteer.) My problem is that I'm a Johnny-come-lately to comics, too, and even though I've read A LOT of backstory, I still feel unable to meta.
(Possibly because the moment I start, I get side-tracked by all the re-reading. Or I venture my tiny, nebulous theories and get spanked by canon I don't know. Or because I have the attention span of a gnat, and generally don't meta anyway.)
