This post is 3 days late. As expected.

Firstly, Detective Comics’ recent awesome streak hit it’s third straight issue. Dr. Crane aka Scarecrow’s ‘revival’ was well written, he no longer relies purely on his fear gas and has Bats confused and frustrated since he can no longer predict his moves. Perfect timing too, can you Imagine Dr. Crane, with a Sinestro Corps ring? No one understands fear like he does! DC better not screw this up!

Speaking of Bats, I’ve gathered rumors that there’s going to be a Batman Animu. No, not Big-O. It’s supposedly to take place in between Batman: Begins and Batman: The Dark Knight. Warner Bros. Animation declined to comment, so we’re still gathering more info.

Yet another rumor is that George Miller will be directing the JLA movie. This is more farfetched than the Batman animu, but we’re crossing our fingers on this one.

I’m actually more excited waiting for confirmed news like the animated features Superman: Doomsday, JLA: New Frontier(Silver Age JLA) and a still unconfirmed Teen Titans animated movie(No, it won’t be that weaboo Teen Titans GO crap. Hurray!). Note that non of the stories are in any way related to the current DCAU story since all of these are separate events based from the comics alone. The icing on the cake is that all of these are being presided over by Bruce Timm(creator of Batman: The Animated Series). Hurray!

Black Canary #3(of 4) was good, though I don’t think Ollie’s gonna have any teeth left on the next issue with the stunt he just did, too bad the made one too many clues on his true intentions.

Nightwing #135 and Outsiders: Five of a kind #1[photopress:robind.JPG,full,pp_image]

I love it when Dick gets flashbacks.

Bonding sessions with old man Bats is fine too~

But with an ending like this, one must wonder where the Man Wonder will wind up next. I’m pretty sure he will leave the Outsiders. But this is only the first(of five) issue, DC has four more chances on making this win or fail.

This week’s countdown was actually amusing, but STILL nowhere near epic. The art improved dramatically though.

last week’s issue:

this week:

I half expected her to moonwalk though. Maybe next week.

I’ve ignored the New Atom until someone forced me to read issue #14.

Then I saw this:

HITLER WITH A JETPACK! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?

Also, Ted Kord!

Added this to clarify things. Yeah, I cried too.

The Metal Men’s revival was good too, I really liked the art. Hopefully, we’ll see more of Dr. Magnus and his Metal Men in other books too.

What the hell DC? What’s with you and bees?

And lastly, I was surprised at WWH#3, I really expected Sentry to step up this issue. But oh well, Super Saiyan Strange’s inevitable downfall will cover at least 1/3rd of the next issue, then hopefully Namor will do something. Anything. At least show up dammit!

Back on the mysterious world called real life, I’ve learned a few life lessons the past 4 days:

1. Spending a week’s worth of money(for food and other expenses) in one day. Bad idea. Worth it, but still not a good idea.

2. Surviving for 6 days with P80 worth of coins is plausible, but hard.

3. I’m a fucking lucky bastard who doesn’t need to live with instant noodles for 6 days anymore.

4. Duty Free’s meat section = Heaven. I ate around 2 full german franks and the free sample guy just kept on giving more!

5. I shall never EVER eat at Tokyo Tokyo again.

6. And last but not least, crossing the street at night without glasses. Bad idea. Stupid bike…
