B89 by all accounts was Beatlemania for Batman

I lived through that period. It's where my Batman fandom and comic book fandom both started. Trust me, 1989 was everything you heard about. I would argue it was bigger than 2008 because B89 was a HUGE pop cultural event. Truly massive.

I've always been curious how the Bruce Wayne show would've turned out.

Smallville works for me because there's plenty of comic book precedent for Superboy. Ultimately, Smallville became a hodge podge of influences. Primarily Silver Age but plenty of Post-Crisis, Bronze Age and Golden Age thrown in as well.

But Batman doesn't really have that type of flexibility. At least, not as far as I know. The idea of an unmasked Bruce Wayne squaring off with all or most of Batman's rogue's gallery... I'm not sure how that would've worked.

I think things worked out for the best with this series.

Razorfist is chiming in too. In his usual angry way.

If DBA ends up being a worthy follow-up to the Netflix seasons, then I truly hope all those Fandom Menace grifters will loudly sing its praises.

It LOOKS like Marvel heard our complaints about how Cox's Daredevil was treated in She-Hulk and course-corrected. They need to be rewarded for course-correcting.

As a more general note, I've always liked Christian Slater. He's always welcome in pretty much anything. Every time he shows up, I don't miss James Remar pretty much at all.

It's understandable if some people still aren't sold on the entire Dexter- Original Sin concept. But I can't knock the casting of DOS pretty much at all. Everyone in the cast gets done episode after episode.

DBA trailer just got uploaded an hour ago. So, I guess 09:30am? And it already has 1.1 million views.

Anyway, here it is.

This industry doesn't deserve to survive because it doesn't want to save itself. They'd rather go out of business doing things their way than succeed doing things any other way.

It's sad.

I've been curious about Astor and Cody. It would seem strange to leave them out if we're getting the rest of the band back together.

Really like that design. Looks like an organic continuation of the BR suit. A worthy addition.

If we're being honest, unquestionably the best part of that otherwise execrable movie.

Spent the past few weeks blasting through the 1994/post-Zero Hour reboot of the Legion Of Superheroes.

I'm... kind of stunned at how enjoyable it's been. These are fun, lighthearted adventure comics that fix a lot of the problems that the Legion had been facing for several years by that point. I'm also struck by how consistently enjoyable these comics are. Such a treat.

Some creative decisions are a little wtf, no doubts there. But in the main, it's a solid run of comics.

Highly recommended for those who say they want escapist entertainment.
