    Was reading…

    trevoredwards:

    Fear Itself by Michael Reaves and Steven-Elliot Altman when I came across a passage where Bruce was attending his own Masquerade Party as Zorro. He then went on to describe how the Zorro costume made him want to swagger. I got a pretty good laugh out of it, and thought I’d share it. 

    Five minutes later Bruce started for the entrance hall. He was resisting the urge to swagger; there was something about the Zorro costume that was swagger-inducing. Odd, really. It was just a mask and a cape, after all; not so different from the cowl and cloak he wore nearly every night. And yet his “work clothes” inspired no desire to swagger. 

    Must be the sleeves, he thought. 

    Forgot about this until I was going through a tag trying to find something. It was actually a pretty decent Batman novel overall.

    What would be going on at DC if I were in charge (lol):

    trevoredwards:

    • Judd Winick would be the only person allowed to write Jason Todd. 
    • Scott Snyder would be kept on Batman indefinitely. 
    • Brad Meltzer would be allowed to do whatever the fuck he wants. 
    • Scott Lobdell would be shot in the face. 
    • Greg Tocchini, Robert Teranishi, and Jock would be drawing most of the bat-titles.
    • Adam Hughes would get to draw whatever the fuck he wants. 
    • Grant Morrison would be allowed to write any male character of his choosing (I’d keep him away from female characters though, since he’s always botching shit). 
    • Geoff Johns would probably be put back on Flash forever.
    • Jeph Loeb would get another Superman/Batman title and whatever else he wanted to write. 
    • Jim Lee would get smacked and I’d let him know that, as pretty as his art is, he isn’t the greatest artist in the world. I’d probably put him on an Aquaman title or something. 
    • Marv Wolfman would be brought in to try and fix the disastrous Teen Titans title. 

    So many other things, but I don’t have the time to sit here and write a novel about what’s wrong with DC (just kidding, I do have the time, I’m just not going to do it).

    I was just trying to figure out who I’d put on Nightwing and then I remembered this list, and I never even included Nightwing! I’d probably have Snyder, Dixon, and Jones collab on writing duties and Jock and Teranishi on the art.

    I’m noticing more and more recently that people have this bad habit of just accepting things they don’t like without actually putting any effort forth to effect change to those things. If you’re not happy with your weight then stop shoveling disgusting food down your throat and try being more active. If you’re not happy with the way people treat you, then try approaching people differently. If you’re not happy with your boyfriend/girlfriend, then break up with them. Don’t just sit around bitching about a situation saying “OH WELL, GEE, I WISH THINGS WOULD GET BETTER FOR ME. SIIIIIGH,” that’s not how life works. 

    Aristotle says “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not a single act, but a habit.”

    Awhile back I got my hands on just about every issue of Detective Comics. I thought it’d be cool to start at the very beginning and read through just about all of Batman’s history. Anyway, I’m at #423 (‘72) and Babs is running for congress! I remember seeing this referenced several times and wondering what the story was. Guess I’m finding out!

    I’m looking forward to getting to #730 (No Man’s Land), which was the first issue of Detective Comics I ever read. That issue had me hooked. I’d always make my parents buy it for me whenever we’d go to the store. Back in the day when comic books were readily available, I guess haha.
