The Bat and the Cat
In The Brave and the Bold #197 (April 1983, DC Comics) Alan Brennert penned what I consider to be the definitive Batman/Bruce Wayne and Catwoman/Selina Kyle story. One of comics’ longest-running and most storied romances, the Bat and the Cat had already been flirting shamelessly and stealing kisses for more than four decades by the … Continue reading The Bat and the Cat

I've been feeling extremely nostalgic lately for movies that used to be in constant rotation on HBO in the early to mid 1980s.

Hopefully, though, 2021 brings some positive change for us all. And on that note I just want to mention a few positive accomplishments from … Continue reading Sing Us Out, Susie
White Gold Christmas
As everyone already knows, Batman Returns is one of my favorite Christmas movies. It's darkly comic take on Gotham City and its bizarre costumed inhabitants goes down like the best spiked eggnog - leaving you feeling all warm, fuzzy, and giggly. Or is that just me? Everyone also knows how fond I am of Michelle … Continue reading White Gold Christmas
