The need for nostalgia among comics fans and the companies that produce comics bending over backward to provide are a vicious price destroying the industry. Meanwhile Radiant Black is doing great at establishing something new and vibrant.

We need more of that, not more Batman.

If knowing what Trump did with Epstein you still support him, you are subhuman scum. Adult men should know better than to take advantage of teenagers that way. Adult men who do that should be in jail or worse.

You still support him? Fuck you! You are as big a scum as he is.

The earth snuggles down to sleep
Her power focused on other lands
And in her sleep you sing and dance
Who taught man to ferment the juices of fruit
And enjoy the work of a year with celebration
Where merriment and debauchery reign
And legs are loosened to […]

Any culture or religion or philosophy that places women in a subordinate position to men, makes women lesser, is wrong. It just is! I will not respect that about your ways!

It is sad that an industry like comics doesn’t have a pension system or a fund dedicated to helping those who help make it successful.

I might respect the “lower taxes”crowd if the lower taxes were for everyone instead of just rich people with more money than they could use in their entire lifetimes.

My theory for the #DCU film franchise is that it will lead to a Kingdom Come kind of story. The S symbol on Superman is a huge clue, but so is the concept of a prison to hold all the troublesome metahumans. I suspect a merging of the Salvation and Kingdom stories and I am totally here for it!

I’ve always loved Captain Marvel (Shazam) but I dislike the John’s era version of the Captain Marvel that is still a child. CM should be adult in minds a grown up Billy. He has all those gifts, including great wisdom, and having him behave like a child is silly.

"You're the one who dressed me like a basket of bell peppers" --Dick Grayson (Robin) to Batman in Batman and Robin Year One.

The best line of dialog of the year.

This series should be faithfully adapted into a movie. This should be the DCU Batman and Robin. Dick's humour works for Gunn.

DC is overusing Darkseid and it is destroying the power of his menace.

Change my mind!

Since the Judiciary is a separate branch of government from the executive and the legislative, Americans should elect the Supreme Court Justices. The executive should not be able to appoint them.

There can be no change in a country where only 20% of eligible voters show up to vote. Change needs to come from everywhere, so voting on local issues is of paramount importance.

VOTE!!!

If Republicans really wanted to make a difference in healthcare they would
Fix the ACA not try to destroy it just because Obama signed into law like a bunch of high school mean girls.

Is it me or does the “Tinted” setting in iOS26 do nothing? Is this supposed to be a placebo setting?

The Democratic Party will have to give way to a Progressive or Liberal Party because like the Republican Party it has lost its connection to the actual people it is meant to represent.

Politicians have forgotten that they aren't there to rule us, but to represent us all.
