I just started reading Batman - The Long Halloween, with the script by Jeph Loeb, art by Tim Sale and colors by Greg Wright. I imagine it may not have pleased everyone, but Sale’s art and Wright’s colors are phenomenal.
Corporate crime is notoriously underpoliced and underprosecuted. Mostly, that's because we just choose not to do anything about it. American corporations commit crimes at 20X the rate of real humans, and their crimes are far worse than any crime committed by a human, but they are almost never prosecuted:
@patrickgillam@pluralistic I read an idea once in which #Batman caught a crooked cop and strung him up to be taken away by the police just like he does with any other criminal and it turned the cops against him and he had to go back to being a true vigilante. That pissed him off so he started focusing on corruption which ruffled every feather. It also resulted in making Gotham a better place much more than capturing any two bit thugs could have.
I just finished reading Batman - The Refurn of the Dark Knight, by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley. I really like this edition, it’s an outstanding discussion. It seems that, as always, the world is heading for cycles of entropy because of the traps we create ourselves. Unfortunately, we don’t have a Batman in real life to fix all the crappy things we did to ourselves.
I’ve had this game for several years, but now that I’m looking at it carefully. I just finished Chapter I and I can say that it is a very engaging story. For those who are a fan of Batman Year One, this game is for you.
Despite the problems it went through, Telltale has always known how to make narrative games of exceptional quality. It’s no different here.
@comics The story is so engaging that I couldn’t turn off the game and I decided to keep playing a little bit more. I’ve finished Chapter 2 now. What a fantastic game! What a twist!
"Joker: Folie à Deux," Todd Phillips' sequel to his 2019 movie will not be out until October this year, but GQ says you can watch a better version today. "The People's Joker" is a crowdsourced DIY project from director-cowriter-star Vera Drew about her experiences as a trans woman in comedy, and it was released last week. Here's Jesse Hassenger's breakdown of the movie, which he says, "feels like a more sincere, fully-felt act of adaptation than several 'real' treatments of these characters."
Excited to share this brand new #batman#art with you! Since 1989 watching it at the cinema, my enthusiasm for #timburton's iconic telling of The Dark Knight's story has never diminished! I really wanted to capture the essence of this classic film! Visit #StarsCarsEvents#BoltonArena THIS SUNDAY where I will be displaying a very special Artist's Proof of this #batman89 piece! After the event it will be auctioned, with all proceeds going to #DerianHouse Children's Hospice.
I’ve just finished reading
Batman: Arkham Asylum - A Serious House on Serious Earth by Grant Morrison and Dave McKean. It’s outstanding in every way, a masterpiece.
Batman Night Cries (1987) is such a grim, complex and outstanding graphic novel that, after reading it, I’ve had to read it again. Such an amazing work by Archie Goodwin and Scott Hampton.
#todo Remplacer les mèmes où Batman gifle Robin par des mèmes où c’est Batman qui se fait gifler, parce que bon c’est quand même un milliardaire et un flic, qui passe le plus clair de son temps à tabasser des pauvres avec la vengeance pour principale motivation, donc il mérite un peu plus d’être giflé qu’un enfant quand même. 😐
'You either die a Batman, or live long enough to see yourself become the Jared Leto Joker': First look at Christian Bale's Frankenstein already has people talking
April 4. Another day in Commissioner Gordon’s old-new-life in the decrepit and corrupt Gotham City. But that will change, there is a hope, a light at the end of the tunnel. And it has bat wings.
Did you know #Batman's young #Jewish creator was denied credit for decades? Did you know the man who fought to restore his legacy is being silenced because he dares say #gay to school children? This might be one of the most fascinating #LGBTQ stories you've never heard!
Superheroes often have a rule that they will not kill even a total criminal, a criminal. What about the topic of... abortion? Is abortion a crime according to superhero rules?
