For once, I'd like to see a Batman "Secret Origins" that shows that Thomas and Martha Wayne were just faking their deaths to get away from their kid, who was CLEARLY obsessed with Mommy and Daddy in an unhealthy way.

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is planning to spend $13 million in 35 House races, focusing on 21 seats held by Republicans and 14 by Democrats. Far behind in cash, the DCCC is so confident, it's going after swing GOP seats.

Bad reporting from the AP. Or, revelatory, depending in your take. That's 3,077 troops (and officers). Not 2,000, as the article reports. On the other hand, if the article is correct, then the ships are under-manned by a third. 1/2 apnews.com/article/iran...

For Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, a full-lenth black satin cape with rose-gold satin lining was made. Black satin has a "wet" sheen, which fit well with the man-into-bat animation sequences Walter Lantz Studios did for the film. Shown here on a mannequin in a private collection. 3/3

The cape used in the rest of the film was a 3/4-cut full-lenth "opera cape". The cape was of black "fulled wool" with a taupe-colored crepe silk lining. The publicity still shows it was 28 feet wide! This cape is now on display at the AMPAS Museum. 2/?

Bela Lugosi wore two capes in 1931's Dracula. In the Castle Dracula scenes, he wore a bisht (knee-length cape with hand-slits). It was black inside and out, and made of an unknown material (likely wool). The overexposed image shows he's not just draping the cape over his arms. 1/?
