To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Superpeeps, where would you suggest picking up Big Blue Backstory? I just sort of jumped in a while back, so it's not like Gotham, where I can say, "Okay, here are the basics. This is where you start."

Probably John Byrne's excellent "Man of Steel" miniseries which, recent tweaks and all, is still pretty much the baseline for post-Crisis Superman.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm dying to know what other people thought of this week's JLU. I thought that the scene with Ace was particularly well done. Poor little mite. I was also amused by the real appearances of the RF gang.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

When I saw it, I was thinking "Restless."

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

The very last shot, "Did you see that?" was the same as the opening shot of the very first Batman: TAS episode, "On Leather Wings".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The very last shot

It's the end of the Dini/Timm-verse as we know it.

Like I need a hole in my head

Hey, just a quick pimp of my friend's comic-rec journal: jinx_says over on LJ. He puts up scans and different issues of comics that he recommends, and he takes requests as well.

Art Crawl!!!

Wait -- JLU is done for good?

The DC Animated Universe is done for good. It began in 1992 with "Batman: The Animated Series", was created by Bruce Timm. It had continuity with "Superman: The Animated Series", "Batman Beyond", "Justice League", and tangentially Static Shock. Paul Dini wrote many of the best episodes on these series.

There's also "Teen Titans" and "The Batman" cartoons, but Timm/Dini weren't involved with them, and don't share continuity.

I thought Timm was involved with Teen Titans until this season?

Huh. He was. I didn't realize that. It's not part of the regular continuity, though.
