I have an issue of Amazing Heroes that's so old it has an interview with Jim Lee in it and his name is not on the front cover. ;o) I can (pardon the pun) beat that.

I thought that had died out in the late 80s. We had an Acid House craze last year? I thought that had died out in the late 80s.

Reprinting early journalism of the Boss, AND from twenty years ago!" Don't you think I asked the Boss before posting it? I may be crazy, but I'm not dumb. :> “Nice knowing you Mark.

I can remember being a wee lad in The Big Apple in the early 70's going store to store with my mom in search of a Bat-insignia patch to sew on my jacket and not being able to find a single one. No patches nowhere. How times have changed...

Reprinting early journalism of the Boss, AND from twenty years ago! I remember that summer... the first midnight showing for a blockbuster. Ghostbusters2 setting an opening record. Indiana Jones breaking it the next weekend. Star Trek V would have, had it not been so crappy, and then Batman. Prince's Batdance. Nicholson making millions from the merchandising. Thinking that it should have been Adam West instead of Jack Palance. A glitch in the print that kept the audience from learning the Joker's scheme, but not needing to know because the movie was so much spectacle. And complaining about the Joker shooting down the Batwing. (and finding so much more to hate in the second film.) oh, and I believe that was the beginning of the variant cover craze, with the new Batman title. So... 2027? Perhaps an actual Batman vigilante on the nightly news, crimefighting to promote the 3D Death In The Family, which uses realtime sampling of the audience's subconscious reactions to edit the story.

I remember sitting in the theater (at 13 years old) and thinking how boring it was. It was a bland feeling movie to me. This one doesn't feel exactly like Batman ether (more like an elseworld) but I am looking forward to seeing it. It does look pretty good. “Of course, it’ll all end when the movie comes out…”
