Think of him as the second and third part third part of the tripod. The vigilante/Arrow = Batman, and he = Commisioner Gordon and Harvey Dent.

God damnit, I just realized I did what you did, but **** it, Laurel's dad is the **** and vastly important to Arrow.

If you ever want to know where Batman: The Dark Knight (as in the movie with Heath Ledger) and Arrow got their inspiration from, then just check out The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb. It will wreck your **** and show you that comic books can be every bit as amazing as non-comic books.

Seriously, The Long Halloween is beyond amazing. Come to me if you don't know how to get access to it, as I can find any comic book you would ever want to read,

Don't be a bitch.

I'm game. As noted, I've read a lot of graphic novels, which I guess is pretty much the same thing?

Short education: graphic novel = comic book without connection to history. The Long Halloween is basically Batman's first one or two years of comic history, but with awesomeness from the Joker, Poison Ivy, and Two-Face. Two-Face is especially important, and will make The Dark Knight make ever more sense.

Trade Paper Back = Graphic Novel, except that it's a collection of issues from a monthly title.

Just check this ****...


Batman – The Long Halloween (1998) (Digital) (Zone-Empire)


You'll need this ****, since you'll need a program to read comic program files (and yes, there is a comic book program file)....

God damn it, that's a lot of confusing ****, but just read The Long Halloween.

Chula Vista 11-07-2015 03:54 PM

Danke. It's nap time for Chules.

The Batlord 11-07-2015 03:57 PM

It would be nap time for The Batlord, but I have too much to do educational **** stuff too.

The Batlord 11-07-2015 04:11 PM

I'm vastly over-whelmed with ****, but read The Long Halloween. It's what anyone interested in Arrrow needs to read. Go damn I'm ****ed up.

Oriphiel 11-07-2015 04:23 PM

Go on. I need a new sig.

I remember watching this at the time and I thoroughly enjoyed it for the most part. The ending was a bit messed up for me, but I've not gone back since then to make sense of it. Regardless, this is such an addictive show. Makes a lot more sense the second time round too.

You can use the hola extension to get around those pesky country restrictions.

Also, theneedledrop reminded me to give props to the new season of South Park. It have been absolutely amazing this year. After a few seasons of kinda kicking dirt, they finally grew the balls to discuss social justice warriors and the offence police.

Really good shit.

About half way through right now. I really didn't expect much but it's really got me into it! I think its a pretty interesting setting for a show. I've never really seen this idea explored much.

I've only seen about two episodes of it but I really need to get caught up. I didn't think last season was awful though tbh but most of it wasn't great either.

I gave up on that show over 5 years ago, but I guess I need to watch what I missed at some point.

Shock and Awe: The Story of Electricity - 1. Spark

Jim Al-Khalili tells how the first 'natural philosophers' began to unlock electricity's mysteries, studying its curious link to life and building instruments to create it.

BBC iPlayer - Shock and Awe: The Story of Electricity - 1. Spark

I enjoyed it. Interesting show if you like science and all that jazz.

Just watch the newest one it's been really hit or miss until now. The freemium gaming episode from last season is certainly an exception though. Funny enough.

Chula Vista 11-24-2015 04:08 PM

Caught Trevor Noah's Lost in Translation show last night on Comedy Central. Dude is ****ing hilarious and so dead on with his satire. Reminded me a lot of Robin Williams at times due to his material and manic delivery.

MST3K is back. Yessss...

MST3K Reboot News Update: New Host, Old Cast, and More...

grindy 11-25-2015 01:15 PM

Finished watching The Lost Room.
Despite some minor weak spots and not always convincing acting it was overall pretty damn great.
Very entertaining plot and great mythology.
Does anyone know similar shows?

NikoGotGame 11-25-2015 03:41 PM

The walking dead
Wild n out

simplephysics 11-25-2015 03:52 PM

Finished Master of None about a week ago, really loved it and have revisited some of the better epsiodes since then. I caught the NPR Fresh Air interview with Aziz before it was released, and I probably wouldn't have watched it without that bit of background first, but damn, it's honestly a great show on it's own. Looking forward to a second season, hopefully they'll keep it up.

The Batlord 11-25-2015 04:08 PM

Aziz Ansari? You have a lot to answer for.

It's Aziz ****ing Ansari. You don't have to respect my taste to acknowledge his awfulness.
