Tillamook brand cheese is excellent. Bigots are garbage. This is an easy choice to make.

Picked up this print from Joe Staton.

There are several images of Batman and Catwoman together, and behind them are Bruce Wayne, the Scarecrow, and Batman & Robin swinging together. All of the images are inspired by scenes from "The Autobiography of Bruce Wayne" in Brave and the Bold #197 (1983).

Today is the birthday of actor Christopher Reeve (Sept. 25, 1952-Oct. 10, 2004).

A photo of Reeve at his most handsome at the time of the release of Superman.

A photo of Reeve after his hair loss due to his spinal injury. He still has a beautiful smile.

I mentioned that I picked up a small stack of original Spirit newspaper sections the other day. Here’s a closer look at one of them, with splash pages from the 4 stories in this one issue.

The Spirit by Will Eisner - story title A Legend

Lady Luck splash page. Art by Klaus Nordling maybe?

Flatfoot Burns opening page. Not sure of the artist

This is a fascinating cover. The colors and shading are quite striking.

If DC kickstartered their Archives line like Marvel is doing with Clover Press, I’d line up for: Plastic Man 9 Captain Comet Robin 3 The Vigilante (Meskin) Johnny Quick Golden Age Flash 3 JSA All Stars 2 Sugar and Spike 2 The Fox and The Crow G. A. Hawkman 2 Rex the Wonder Dog Gunner & Sarge

131. BATMAN: VENOM (1991) Some days, depending on my mood, I might claim this as the best Batman story ever made. The pinnacle of LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT, and a powerful statement in O’Neil’s ouvre of deeply flawed trying their hardest to rise higher. Batman at his lowest, and most triumphant.

107. THE BATMAN & SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERIES (2021) Sholly Fisch is perennially one of the most undersung geniuses in comics, and this multi-year run pairing Batman and Scooby proves that he can do Batman just as well as he can do anything else. If you hate fun comics, don’t read this.

73. THE UNTOLD LEGEND OF THE BATMAN (1980) In the era before continuous reprints, Len Wein and Jim Aparo took 40 years of comics and gave Batman the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck treatment. A monumental achievement that goes largely ignored today thanks to COIE rendering it canonically moot.

43. Jiro Kuwata’s BATMAN (1966) I’m not really a big fan of Silver Age Batman, but Kuwata captured the comics of the era in his manga adaptation with a fresh approach which maintains it as the most readable 60s run of Batman comics today.

3. THE BATMAN ADVENTURES (1992) My most frequently recommended entry level Batman comic. Captures everything you love about Batman: The Animated Series, which, if you’re my age, is everything you first loved about Batman.

"Today is Batman Day!" Batman: "Donnie, you're a war profiteer, an election rigger, and a career criminal. Every conflict lines your pockets, every lie buys you power, and every innocent pays the price. This country doesn't need another tyrant in a tuxedo—it needs justice."

For Batman Day, I present the best Batman scene ever:

Ace: "They were training me, turning me into a weapon 'for justice'. They got their weapon, I got cheated of my childhood"
Batman: "I know what that's like"
Ace: "You do, don't you?"
Ace: "You don't have to answer, I read your mind. That's how I knew you weren't going to use Ms Waller's weapon on me"
Batman: "No, I wasn't"
Ace: "You were gonna try and talk me into fixing what I've changed..."
Ace: "before I die"
Batman: "Yes"
Ace: "I'm dying very soon"
Batman: "Yes, I'm sorry"
Ace: Would you stay with me? I'm scared"
Batman sits with her and holds her hand

I love Monk, Psych, Clouseau, My Life is Murder and Columbo…but they all pale in comparison to the class and wit of the Thin Man. Myrna Loy and William Powell are AMAZING as Nick and Nora, sleuths whose blood is at least 150% proof alcohol. #watchingtonight #movies
