It's wild; Jacob Kane is a major character, but Kate is nowhere to be seen??

Never played Gotham Knights, am flabbergasted to find out they were like "who should be the surprise lead of the evil ancient society who secretly runs Gotham? Ah yes: the Jew"

Feels like DC really crowned on Marvel at SDCC this year. Cringe action figure action in DCKO, mostly interesting looking Vertigo stuff, Rucka back on Batwoman, more Camp...

Meanwhile Marvel is like "how about yet another symbiote event"

Homer in the "Third Dimension." He and everything around him are computer animated. He's standing on a green grid. Shapes and math equations surround him.

Homer: Did anyone see the movie Tron?

Dr. Hibbert, in the Simpsons' living room: No.

Everyone else says "No." in rapid succession.

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

It's so funny that one of the best kids books of all time has no main character under the age of 50

The Hobbit should be read only after reading The Lord of the Rings and watching those movies, so that when you get to Rivendell you can experience the same thing Shrek and Donkey did in Duloc

I still think all the time about when Kane PUNCHED HIS FIST upward through the center of the mat, and climbed out of a hole leading to literal hell and then John Cena went under the mat (where hell is) to grab a folding chair.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

I'm reminded of this scene I wrote in Darth Vader, which is born of me pitching "Okay - the reason Droids don't generally beat humans in Star Wars is they don't have blood, as that's where midichlorians are. So, how about syringe-powered vampire robots?" and (rightfully) being told no, kieron, no.
