As I came out of the 4pm show today, I received a text message asking me if I wanted to see Batman at 9:15, with a 7:15 dinner/ticket pickup. I curtly informed the gentleman that I had just screened the very same film. When he inquired as to how I had already performed this feat, I promptly replied, “I am a man. I make time for important things.”
It is with this same level of personal duty or dharma, that I bring you my mobile review. As per the usual, 160 characters or less and typed out to Nick with a quickness known only to Jay Garrick and his successors.
Now that’s what im talking about! dent and joker were well cast. twoface makeup is wacker than batman’s voice though. brutal film. savage.
Tuesday’s podcast will be heavily focused on The Dark Knight. I hope that isn’t a problem.
DC Universe #0. All I can say is… wow.
It makes next to no sense. Is it possible to feel like I wasted $0.50? Because I think that I did.
All I got was a collection of six teasers for upcoming story events. I feel like I paid $0.50 to have DC Comics make me watch a disjointed and scattered commercial, all narrated by the Flash.
And what was the deal with the (SPOILERS!!!!) last page? A strip club with a soda can on the ground and some graffiti nearby? Is Grant Morrison trying to say that strip clubs are evil? Well guess what — they’re not. And neither is graffiti. Some graffiti is really sweet.
But you know what kind of sucks? Lightning. That’s right. It’s loud (well the thunder is loud, but the two of them go hand-in-hand), it’s destructive, and it’s annoying when you’re trying to sleep (trust me, it kept me up all night recently).
I’d like to introduce a new feature, similar to something you see here all the time but it’s a bit different: Reads You Don’t Need. And can you guess what the first issue is to ever receive this honor? You guessed it! DC Universe #0.
P.S. Okay, let me be fair. The issue was ambitious. But it should have had a consistent narrative as the focus instead of a series of snapshot sales pitches.
P.P.S. Astute readers will notice that we already had a ComicShocker this week. That installment, however, was actually catching up on the previous week. This ComicShocker is for this week. Right now. The one with DC Universe #POOP– Oops! I mean #0.
