Okay, yes to the first -- and I haven't read the second yet.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Is this animated Batman any relation to the earlier one? Or something brand new?

According to the article, it's brand new, and called The Batman. The art style, from those bad pictures, doesn't look too different from the original, though. The Penguin looks just like I remember him.

It is different creators, and therefore a different continuity.

Wasn't The Question the proto-fascist guy that Rorschach was based on?

That's what the original Steve Ditko Question was like. The DC version (it was penned by Denny O'Neil, I think - I have a big run of those but it's been years since I read any) toned down the Ayn Randian philosophy quite a bit.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Rorschach, was based on The Question, and The Question was created by Ditko, who inserted his Ayn Rand/Objectivist ideology into the character.
While I certainly don't agree with those beliefs, I don't necessarily believe that "facist" is a particularly accurate label either.

Well, but I think it was accurate to how the Ditko character was rather blase about taking out bad guys a la very early Batman.

Thanks! I've never read any of the Question comics, but I've read references to the guy in several essays about The Watchmen (and the Flex Montello mini-series, which features a Question-like guy). I didn't realize that there was a post-Randian Question.
