When Batman asks if one of you could hack into a supervillain’s mainframe computer while he’s on an off-planet mission…

Red Hood [on the Comm Link]: I don’t know what to do. You’re normally the person in charge of these situations.

Red Robin: Well, not while I’m hanging off a train!

*shrugs* Try Robin?

a-wayne-at-heart:

Wait, wait, wait.

Dick. Jason. TIM. Damian.

In. One. Panel? (I’m desperately assuming!) *heart racing*

After all this time! I’ve missed them all together like this so much!

Preview for Batman #33 (October 2017).

Oh, I’m so sorry! I stand corrected. Remember how I said “desperately assuming”? @lukefox pointed out that Tim isn’t in the panel, but Duke.

Actually, I thought Tim’s jacket’s being chewed on by (is that… ?) Ace, Dick’s sitting on the couch, and Jason’s sitting across him. Buuut, I guess it’s more, Jason’s jacket (Makes sense, now that I think of it… I mean, leather jacket…) and Duke sitting across (explains the curls and the facial features).

And that’s fine with me, too. These four boys are really fun to see together, too. (I mean, Batman #16? Batburger was awesome.)

I just wanted Tim back with them so bad, I guess. I love seeing Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian sharing panels.

THEN, I freakin’ remembered (and this is why @lukefox is so correct about correcting me), Tim’s still stuck! “A Lonely Place of Living”, finale, comes out in November, and this issue comes out in October.

So, sorry, everyone! The operational term was “desperately”.

Thanks, @lukefox! That was embarrassing. Hahaha.

Also, that’s got to be Damian reading, right?

So handsome, these boys/men.

Some thoughts on “King Arthur” vis-à-vis the DCEU

This’ll be short.

Watched “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” (2017), Guy Ritchie’s vision of it. Music by composer Daniel Pemberton is only the tip of the iceberg of why I LIKE IT.

Very “BvS” deja vu for me, in that I don’t completely understand why critics dislike is as much as they do. Don’t really care. I LIKE IT SO DARN MUCH. Casting. Dialogue. Visuals. Humor. Action. Costumes. Just the sequences (I think they’re brilliant). And perhaps the list will go on as I watch it again, and again, and again.

Audience ratings are far higher anyway. To each his/her own.

Also, thematically (and a bit style-wise), it’s kind of like “The Lion King” meets “The Gladiator” (and not just because of Djimon Hansou) meets “300” (Mr. Snyder, hi!), all movies I adore. Story-wise, it also made the legend of Excalibur so much more interesting to me.

Anyhoo. More on that later.

The whole time, this was in my head: this film might as well be Charlie Hunnam’s Oliver Queen DCEU audition (if he’d seriously consider it. I mean, I know he acknowledged it at one point). The character is basically Oliver Queen in a medieval fantasy AU. Sword holster in lieu of a quiver. Come on.

In conclusion, CHARLIE HUNNAM for Oliver Queen and RYAN POTTER for Tim Drake.

(See what I mean about my DC obsession? I watch these movies and I’m thinking about how they can be incorporated into the DC Universe. Haha!)

Yet another dream Batfamily canon issue of mine…

Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, and Robin bored out of their minds while out on patrol with Batman and finding (creative) ways to kill the time.

Like, an entire spread of just… Batboy dumbness (behind a very focused and intense Batman’s back – or so they think. Maybe Bats has just been looking at Catwoman’s apartment window for two hours now and he simply couldn’t care less at the moment).

Plus, Alfred on the Comm Link asking if he should bring them juiceboxes and sandwiches.

Heck, I’d buy the issue even for just two panels.
