The Death of Gwen Stacy and the landmark Green Lantern/Green Arrow stories by Denny O'Neil pre-date some of the examples above. Though these stories are more grim and mature, I don't think any of the stories mentioned took things to the level Dark Knight did. More mature stories before Dark Knight w...
I liked the movie, and I can see why others liked the movie. Not sure if I see anyone making fun of those people who liked the movie, even while poking fun at the movie itself.
Some even poke fun at movies they clearly hold dear to them...
Good point with regards to the coloring. I never noticed such things before, but I definitely noticed in one issue in the series where the new Robin is hugging a de-costumed Batman. The dude looks like he's made of stone, and I knew this coloring decision was quite purposeful in a way I had not seen...
My wife had just finished reading the Twilight books and was stressing out over the move to Dallas, so I bought True Blood S1 on DVD. Thought it would be all goth and emo with boy candy like the Twilight stuff seems to be. Happy it wasn't! We're house-sitting for friends who have HBO, and we're tryi...

FYI, Bill's doorbell doesn't work, but the barking dogs do. while some podcasts have "outgrown" their barking dogs, it still brings a smile to hear dogs in the background, it adds to the ambiance. And we all know thats needed with Bill there. ;) Not sure how many listeners realize just ho...
I asked my dad to give our son a chinese name, and it sounds like "Pluto" or "Plutonium", depending on how you choose to say it. Alex's chinese name literally means "humble", which sounds like "pluto". "Humble person" sounds sort of like "pluton...
It was a lot of fun being on the show. Brad, Frank and Bill have such a good rapport. I felt like a monkey wrench. :) Being in the "studio" was wild. I'm a tech guy who loves audio equipment, so seeing the gear they use was pretty cool. LOTS of pleasant distractions from kids and animals. ...
I found it ironic that Sookie makes such a big deal about not being able to block out other people's thoughts, and yet she's the one most needing to learn when to shut up. :) My favorite scene came in season 2 when Eric confronts the guards during the church lockdown and uses a Joe Blow accent. I ju...
