that said: VERY 80s. and also, Terry Long is in there. I dont want to read about that guy

ex.: iirc Wolfman/Perez were the ones who decided to make Dick Grayson Nightwing-- If NTT never happened then Robin wouldn't have become a legacy, and the Bat-Family as we know it might never have existed. (Also, the people who grew up on NTT now make comics. we're never getting rid of Deathstroke)

I've only read Judas Contract, and I remember it being pretty good. From a historical point of view it's essential reading. NTT was hugely popular when it was coming out and you can still see its influence now

Here's Batwoman fighting evil chimney sweeps. come ON, Grant. but to be fair, if I was writing for a British company, I'd definitely add some Americans in cowboy hats

Panels from Morrison's Batman and Robin. Batwoman fights a gang of chimney sweeps wearing masks.

I love it when Morrison (who is a Scottish person) adds a British character to a DC book. Suddenly it's all jokes about haggis and bad teeth

Panel from Morrison's Animal Man.
Buddy's wife: You hear me? Get down those stairs and OUT. Now!
Mirror Master: Awright! Awright! Keep your knickers on, hen! You're a right wee stoatir, eh?

Two panels from a Morrison Flash story:
Linda: I think you should have a rest in your wheelchair.
Flash: Only if my bonnie lassie joins me for a wee cuddle...
Linda: Wally, you are definitely spending too much time around scottish people!

Panels from Morrison's Batman and Robin
Batman: I knew there was a REASON my country had a revolution.
Pearly King: Heh, they TOLD me you was coming. As a matter of fact, I claim descent from KING ARTHUR himself, whose legendary CAULDRON OF REBIRTH was said to be buried SOMEWHERE in this great nation of ours. Legend says how you came to it by a SPECIAL MAZE. The location of which--
(he takes a sip of tea)
Pearly King: Passed down through GENERATIONS and guarded by a sacred vow of SILENCE.
(he starts singing while playing dominoes)
Pearly King: My old man... 'said follow the van... 'and don't dilly-dally on the way...

The 90s had a lot of missteps but the then-earnest belief in diversity and multiculturalism brought on by post-Cold War optimism was one of it better fruits

the wave of weaponized nostalgia for 90s-style multiculturalism and political correctness is gonna hit different

Haus of Decline @hausofdecline.bsky.social · Apr 28

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I've seen ppl be like "I hope Robin is in the next one" and I get it now. thematically it'd be great for this Batman to take care of a little friend
