For the Love of Reviews

I’m still very far behind in my reading stack – almost a month behind in some spots – to the point that I’m seriously considering dropping a few titles and just picking up the trade so that I can keep up with some other titles. I tell you this to explain why none of the [...]

The Dark Knight Viral Campaign All About Joker

Some recent posts on Panels of Awesome, The Unofficial Dark Knight Movie Blog, and several other places reminded me that I haven’t really said much regarding the movie I am most looking forward to for the next year – The Dark Knight! From what I’ve read, the movie will be drawing from the storylines of [...]

Return of the Cracker: Now With Brainspew!

I have returned from my Thanksgiving feasting and I’m still working through my email and news backlog here, so I have nothing much to say at this point. It seems that most of the web is caught up with Marvel and DC’s attempts to shut down ZCultfm, and I may have something to say about [...]

Lego Batman Is My Videogame Savior

This isn’t really news, but if anyone would like to donate to my “buy Cracker a Wii so that he can play Lego Batman” fund, I’d understand. I’d even be your best friend for life. I may even perform sexual favors, but then my girlfriend would have to kill you, so I don’t recommend the [...]

Bruce Wayne, New God; Jason Todd, Batman?!?!

Although Dan DiDio apparently hates the idea: DiDio was also asked about the recent internet rumors that Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman will become New Gods. He answered: “Oh God, that’s a bad idea!” Rich Johnston is still reporting that Bruce Wayne will die, ascend as a New God, and be replaced as Batman; but [...]

More On the Rumor About Batman Dying

In the latest Lying in the Gutters, Rich Johnston gives us some more information on the dirty dirty lies regarding the impending death of Batman: Last week’s rumour about Batman kicking the Batbucket to be replaced by a sidekick is kicking up steam. As Valerie D’Orazio picks up on, the original plan was for all [...]

Batman ALWAYS Beats Superman, Foolish Jock!

Lions DB Fernando Bryant thinks Superman can beat Batman, proving that he’s been tackled a bit too hard. I would impose sanctions on this foolish mortal, but I figure playing for the Lions is punishment enough. tag: batman, comics, DC, Fernando Bryant, Football, Lions, Superman

What I Read Today

Still about a week behind, but I’m trying to catch up. This is what I got through today: 52 Aftermath: Crime Bible – 5 Lessons in Blood A scholar writes a book denouncing the Crime Bible as a myth but seems to have far too much information. The Question (Renee Montoya) tries to find his [...]

Nicholson is Furious, Jones is Unaware, I am Indifferent

Jack Nicholson is “furious” that he was not asked to play The Joker again. Tommy Lee Jones wasn’t even aware that Two-Face was in the new movie. Jack Nicholson feels that Tim Burton is a genius and had the definitive vision for the Batman universe. Tommy Lee Jones wouldn’t have played Two-Face even if they [...]

Review Envy

I’ve tried several times over the last few days to write something explaining how awesome the recent “Escape From Bizarro World” arc in Action Comics was, but I couldn’t quite get it right. I think it has something to do with normally not liking Superman very much. But then, as I was net surfing and [...]
