douchebag landscaper didn't show up yesterday and now its all wet and awful so they better not show up today dammit...BAH.

Pardon me while I spend the day in bed, reading a history of Batman. I love Batman. Why? Because he can kill anybody, but doesn't. He can kill Superman. He can kill Green Lantern. My man Bruce Wayne has CONTINGENCY PLANS.

Also, Frank Miller is vastly overrated.

Oh, ew. I have my annual case of the Creeping Crud. Now I'm really going to hibernate for the next few days. *scratches hands* ecchh.

I agree about Frank Miller.

When I was a kid, the local library had huge hardcover books with a compilation of all the old comics - Batman, Flash Gordon - tons of them. They were faaaaabulous.

Batman has always been my favorite. You can trust Batman to some degree - Batman has an understandable motivation to do what he does.

Not like Superman. I don't trust these superheros who adopt the whole "I do the right thing because it's the right thing to do!" credo. You can't trust those guys.

One of these days, Superman's gonna snap like a twig and he'll be fucking Vanna White up the ass on the Wheel of Fortune during prime time, and I'll be all like "I told ya so!" ,)

EXACTLY. Superman is just too fucking altruistic to be believeable. Then you have bullshit Smallville Superman, who is riddled with TEEN ANGST OMG and just pisses me off. I hate that show. I hate Ma and Pa Kent who must be fucking saints to imbue their sonnyboy with all that cornfed wholesomeness. ARGH.

Batman and Green Arrow, they don't dick around with illusions of being so fucking noble and sanitized.

I think Miller's mostly overrated, but I love Dark Knight Returns. Didn't like Ronin, though, and Sin City was just pretty good.

Have you read Dark Knight Strikes Again? I can't tell if I like it. I waffle.

I just plain didn't like DKR. The art was fine, but the storyline...chopchopchop. I didn't like the layout with the TV screen panels and no border around the dialogue, I didn't feel there was enough motivation behind the new Robin, blahblahblah. Sin City didn't do much for me either.

I haven't read DKSA yet, but will check it out soon.
