Like "my favorite Spidey stories" threads? Confidentially, we in the fan community refer to them as "long underwear rants"! And as you know, they're a dime a dozen! But, we think you may find our @benreilly149.bsky.social thread just a bit...different!

It’s pretty wild how I saw a certain top tier writer director producer now in charge of a US cultural juggernaut on Periscope a decade ago openly saying he despised Jared Leto cause of how he treats women, which he deleted hours later, but he put a joke about hating his band in his latest tv show.

This is a really good story (and it could be coincidence but the drops in The Batman seem loosely modeled on the cheerdrops)

Watched Nobody, really fun film. Honestly I prefer it to John Wick; the more grounded aesthetics, the DIY improvisation, Bob Odenkirk is basically Kevin McCallister's future.

The Creeper by Ditko. The way he arranges these figures, all the overlapping shapes, the enormous sense of fluidity and depth he creates – it all just astounds me.

The Creeper leaps between buildings. Two policemen are visible below him. Art by Steve Ditko.

The illusion of three dimensions Adams creates by placing Tasmia's back in the extreme foreground is pretty masterful.

The Peacemaker S2 finale was brilliant.

There's something to say about Jim Lee shooting down AI while Tom Brevoort says how cool it is and made excuses for using it.

Evan Dorkin @evandorkin.bsky.social · 3d

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

The Batman: The Animated Series episode "Legends of the Dark Knight" debuted on this day (Oct. 10) in 1998. This fan-favorite TNBA-era episode follows three kids as they share their different takes on The Dark Knight, unaware they're about to meet their hero! #BatmanTAS #Batman

Batman's entire rogues gallery would plunge into existential despair if he said their soul lacks poetry

Telling a bad guy that his soul lacks poetry while you kick him in the face is the stuff of legends.

The golden age hero Mad Hatter swings from a chandelier and kicks a bad guy in the face while saying, “I do believe there’s no poetry in your soul!”

This photo hangs in my home. Making Season 2 of #Peacemaker has been the highlight of my creative life and it wouldn’t be that way with each of these folks who I truly love. Haven’t watched it? Watch it now on HBO Max.

Yep! I was thinking more in terms of a monthly than a mini (but hopefully Spider-Man 94 will become an ongoing).

It's a really fun horror anthology series. The twists dont hold up as well for a modern audience (though some are quite good) but the art is perfection.
