I really dug it. I think Nygma might have been handled differently, but the reveal of the season’s villain made up for it I think.

Since there isn’t really a concern about making it kid safe or being overly precious about certain characters, there’s a level of finality that we really haven’t seen in a while for super heroes or super villains.

One of the challenges I ran into with this one is that I listen to music from the dawn of pop to the present so what does “vintage” sound like? Finally I decided to make Sinatra my sign post. Pop music really doesn’t exist until he signs with Columbia in 1943. After that everything changed.

I have a lot of concert regrets, but one of my biggest is never seeing Tom Petty live. Just looking at one of those 2008 setlists and I'm reminded of how much his music really was so much of the background of my life.

Hey hey! It's #BandcampFriday! That's when Bandcamp waives their cut of the pie and you can put a little more money in the pockets of a band or performer or label. Here are a few choices to maybe consider on this fine day!

Kermit the Frog. He’s everybody’s pal. Lit from behind and he’s standing in front of an orange background. Kermit the Frog is a vampire! He’s still everybody’s pal, but he’s got fangs now. He’s sitting in front of a purple background because purple is dramatic. Look out Vincent Price!
