Just discovered that if I try to change my display name to “Alex Zalben @ NYCC” I lose my BlueSky verification. Wah, wah.

Anyway, I’ll be at New York Comic Con all weekend. Trust me, I’m verified.

When someone says a movie villain is too cartoonish, direct them to the last 15 years of real life.

Finally getting a chance to listen to the WHO ME? An Extremely True Crime Podcast with The Batmin! podcast episode with @brianmbendis.bsky.social and Bobby Moynihan’s love of #Batman and comics should have fans excited for him to voice Man-Bat in the #BatFam animated series
