Got a late start making the Turkey stock with the carcass but once I do I’m going to make a truly obscene amount of gravy

I can’t believe this is the picture I insisted my wife take to prove I made a perfect turkey, before I carved it up like an absolute maniac

Wife and I went to the mall and ate dinner at Bonefish, which serves non-alcoholic WICKED themed cocktails, one is pink and comes with a wand, one is green and with a broom

M went pink, looks at the wand, then me: “which of your figures does this go with?”

Me: Zatanna maybe?

Next day surprise:

I THINK they were trying to make a point about how if you split Batman and Bruce neither really works, they just did it really sloppily

Mark Waid tried it again more literally in his JLA run and got it right:

BATMAN KNIGHTSQUEST reread weekend:

One reason this doesn’t work as well post-Knightfall, vs Reign of the Supermen, is bc Jean-Paul Valley is IMMEDIATELY written as a maniac

In the first month of this run he attempts to murder Robin (which does lead to Tim’s great solo comic)

Not gonna lie, as a DC COMICS nerd this is gonna bother the shit out of me until I figure out what @jamesgunn.bsky.social is referencing here

Who came before Frankenstein? Gaaaah

And then a few issues later when Nightwing shows up and Robin is like “oh hey umm…the kitchen is on fire and the servants want to murder everyone, how are things with you?”

Again we here would be like “wow Why is Dick Grayson the fucking worst” but the answer was “editorial infighting”
November 16, 2025 at 3:28 AM
I’ve said, it’s weird here in the future where Oracle and Nightwing are just Batman supporting characters, but in 1993 that was not the case, so when Bruce Wayne had a spinal injury the first thing he did somehow was not “call his close friend, wheelchair user Barbara Gordon,” so this cameo was huge

There are problems with the BATMAN: YEAR ONE animated adaptation but boyyyy is Bryan Cranston’s Jim Gordon not one of them

“It’s been years since I’ve had to take out a Green Beret. Still…he deserves a handicap” was made for Cranston

Batman: The yakuza…how does the Japanese mob fit into all this?
Robin: Sure hope something makes sense soon!

I…I do not expect things to start making sense soon

Jim Aparo was very good at his work so I have to assume he meant for it to be implied that Jean-Paul Valley eats dog food, and Doug Moench saw the page and was like “…I’d better put in a line about how he is NOT eating”

Continuing my KNIGHTFALL reread and kind of forgot it’s Tim Drake’s story more than anyone else - still new and now saddled with a Batman replacement who doesn’t want a Robin

Tim is MY Robin, not just bc he’s the detective but bc he’s sensible - he knows a 14yo kid WILL, in fact, get his ass kicked

I’m surprised Detectives Ethan Bennett and Ellen Yin never crossed over to the comics, they were good characters - especially Ethan, since “Bruce’s high school buddy who became a cop” feels like it has some good storytelling legs

Also I can’t be the only one who noticed this similarity

Today’s Marvel Legends custom is Red Skull in a suit, bc I loved Gruenwald’s run and Skull deciding to embrace capitalism as another means to destroy America
October 24, 2025 at 1:58 PM
I know longer have a schedule for this, I just want to show them off

Today’s custom Marvel Legends is 90s Doctor Strange

On the one hand I get why the design didn’t catch on - that shirt makes NO SENSE - but OTOH I’m surprised “trench coat of levitation” didn’t stick around

Traveling home from NYC through Philly back to Norristown we can say we were *technically* part of the No Kings protest

We were adjacent

But nothing will beat the sight of getting back home to see one defeated looking man in a Power Ranger costume trudging along the street, Sasquatch-like, at 4pm

I mean it made me never want to try to go to one of these things so yeah, I guess my question has been answered
