I'm liking the Selena character a lot. Not for her dialogue, but for the way she moves through her scenes. Nice cat like tics.

Yeah, I like Selena too, but I think the kids are just good as far as kid actors go (which is an achievement in and of itself). I actually quite like Bruce, as I see him as the weird obsessive that I imagine a ten-year-old Bruce Wayne would be. But they're still not as awesome as Penguin.

I also love that scene at the very beginning of the series where he's screaming over the bodies of his parents. I've got a special place in my heart for the death of Batman's parents that legitimately makes me cry.

This scene from the Flashpoint animated movie, when Bruce Wayne receives a letter from his father from another dimension where Bruce died and his dad became Batman, just kills me. Got tears in my eyes just watching it again.





Can't leave without posting this from Batman: The Animated Series. Till 1:21 is the most emotional scene in animation. God that series was brilliant. I highly, highly, highly recommend watching it. **** kids' shows, that's just one of the best TV shows of all time. I need to get back to doing that Batman: The Animated Series journal with Trollheart.

Started watching One-Punch Man.
Never really got into anime despite numerous attempts, but this seems to be a keeper. Great humour, fun stories and characters and some very good-looking animation.

Had a lot of fun with One Punch Man and decided to look into other anime series.
Its high ratings led me to Death Note and so far I absolutely love it. Some damn good writing there.

Gotham
I'm a little less than halfway through the first season and really enjoying it. A lot of the performances are terrific and the writing is surprisingly good.

The Flash
I'm a little more than halfway through the first season on this one. It's definitely not as good as Gotham—way too much of that trademark CW squeaky-clean teen soap opera vibe—but still I've been enjoying it enough to keep watching. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something I find appealing about it.

That wasn't enough to keep me interested in Arrow or Smallville.

You'd rather watch The Flash over Arrow? The **** is wrong with you?

I like shows that are better than less good shows I guess.
