Music review!

January 17th, 2010 by Youri Zoutman

Music review? Yes!

Batman MMGoing through the tracks:

  1. Batman: Brave and The Bold theme. Well, you know it, you love it, it’s great!
  2. I‘m The Music Meister. Great intro for The Music Meister, with great comedy bits!
  3. Drives Us Bats. My personal favourite!
  4. If Only. Aww, Black Canary digs Bats.
  5. The World Is Mine. Again, great track. NPH is awesome.
  6. If Only (Reprise). Poor MM. He digs on Black Canary.
  7. Drives Us Bats (The Mayhem of The Music Meister end credits). Fun 0.30 version.

And some links where to buy it: Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, iTunes!

Batman’s OTP.

January 16th, 2010 by Youri Zoutman

(OTP = One True Paring)

Who do you think is Batman’s OTP? (Be it Bruce or Dick)

Mine?

Bat and CatThat’s right, Batman and Catwoman. I loved the part where they got together in HUSH.

If you don’t know who his romantic interests have been over the years, here’s the relevant part of Wikipedia’s giant Batman article:

Batman is involved romantically with many women throughout his various incarnations. These range from society women such as Julie Madison,Vicki Vale and Silver St. Cloud, to allies like Wonder Woman and Sasha Bordeaux, to even villainesses such as Catwoman and Talia al Ghul, with the latter of whom he sired a son, Damien, and with the former of whom sired a daughter, Helena. While these relationships tend to be short, Batman’s attraction to Catwoman is present in nearly every version and medium in which the characters appear. Authors have gone back and forth over the years as to how Batman manages the ‘playboy’ aspect of Bruce Wayne’s personality; at different times he embraces or flees from the women interested in attracting “Gotham’s most eligible bachelor.”

Let me know in the comments what you think.

ETA:

Two very good suggestions from Twitter’s HubComics:

Talia Al Ghul:

taliaAnd if we include Batman: The Animated Series, Andrea Beaumont.

I wrote a review on something not Batman.

I wrote a recommendation of Superman Birthright for comic newbies on the blog, uhm, ComicNewbie. It’s in Dutch, so use Google Translate for hilarious results.

Bat-Comics You Should Own

January 15th, 2010 by Youri Zoutman

ASBAR

Crazy ass Miller? Check! Great Jim Lee art? Check!

This often quoted panel?

GoddamnBatmanCheck!

It’s crazy, loud fun. It makes no sense. It has Wonder Woman refer to men as “sperm banks”. It has an eight page fold out of the Bat-Cave. It has Joker, for some reason, with a Yakuza tattoo. It has Superman being a dick, like Miller always writes him.

It’s insane.
