dark knight strikes again. part 1&2 of 3.
dont read this without reading dark knight returns before hand. i'm niot impressed, and very confused, most of the art seems too cartoonish, and there are pages of people arguing about the return of batman, etc. batman beats the heck out of supes who despises batman and vise versa. lex luthor is controlling wonder woman, supes, and shazam by threatening killing off the kryptonian species(currently contained in a jar by brainiac. its in the future and supes is bangin wonder woman, so i am totally lost. and the amount of times he uses the "D" word is insane. he took sin city and applied it to dc, and i dont like it. 2.5 (of 5)so far, but things may improve in the final issue.
(batsy finished beating up supes using his machines and iron fists, and when supes takes it and pleads he just wants to talk, batsy smacks him again and says, "i'm done talking.")

What kind of story is this? If it's in the future shouldn't Superman be married to Lois still?

doesn't sound like much of a comic book story.
I'm not really crazy about cussing either except when I stub my toe on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Well the thing is in high school you hear cussing all the time, but when you grow up it becomes much less socially acceptable. It's one of those things I catch myself doing when something on my computer doesn't work or when I play basketball at the park. I get so hyped up I forget what I am doing. It's embarrassing now to cuss in public where as in high school you were deemed a loser if you didn't.
Of course it's a been quite a while since the high school days but bad habits die hard.

batman year one
reda this one a couple months ago, got it from the library. turns out it was the graphic novel. it was an 80's comic by miller, but not drawn by him. great story great art. the graphic novel was repainted rather than using the original color above. i'm sure this helped a lot because the color was superb.
anyway, thisretold the origin of batman, but kept close. it tells the story's of jim gordon and bruce wayne. just when i was thinking it would be cool to here a story from someone like gordon's view this made him as interesting as batman. gotham is dirtier than ever, but batman comes out and teams with gordon to fix that. not miller's style, but the best of his i've ever read. you'll also notice that parts of this were taken directly into the batman begins flic, and there's even talk of a movie directly off of this, but i doubt it because of batman begins already being out there and using a lot of this stuff. it was excellent, believable, and nicely splayed out over a year. read it.
9.65 out of 10

it also had a bit of catwoman's beginning for a little humaor as she watches tv and sees batman get the credit for a little of her thievery. but this nicely built the relationship between gordon and batman. and miller's exaggerrated style of art would've ruined it i think. it was a realistic look at batsy. it also seemed to give him more time to write.

Superdude I created a section off of comic book reviews just for your reviews. That way you can title each one with the name of the comic book you review.

One thing I have to ask I have been wondering. Is there any explanation in the Marvel Universe for the Ultimate Universe? Have the Ultimates ever saw their counterparts? Are we just supposed to go with it?

So do you mean the ultimates ended up finding out their counterparts were zombies instead the real Fantastic Four?

yeah it was a twisted zombie world were heroes were looking for more people to eat, and ultimate reed teamed with magneto to get away. the ff zombies are currently in the ultimate ff's lab threatening that they can get out whenever they want. they even made a zombie series due to its success, that why the issue cost so much. first appearence of marvelo zombies[smirk]

no way, the plot sounds like a cheap horror film.

well;, that does seem to be the current basis of the ff. which i think detracts from the ff.

Do you ever watch the sci-fi channel? Seems like all they show are zombie monster killer stuff. There is always plenty of action but no real story. There's never any science in the science fiction shows. It lacks the intelligence of the old Twilight Zone shows.
Except for the occassional really cool mini series like Triangle. Worse I read they are planning on bringing a wrestling show to the channel. On a sci-fi channel for crying out loud! I wish they had a thinking man's sci-fi channel.

wrestling is perhaps the dumbest form of television available to man. it's up there with teletubbies.

Yeah it was ok when I was a kid and Hulk Hogan was out there wrestling with appearances of Mr. T, but it's about like watching Sesame Street now. Just too old to care about the junk besides the sci-fi channel needs to bring in some half way intelligent entertainment. There just isn't anything on that requires any sort of thought anymore.
