Why does Batman have Battle Armour?

Batman is a man trained to Olympic standards of physical perfection .

Batman is not a slimmed down Michelin Man depending on a super suit to get him through the night. It's a story about a man..not a rich man's toys.

Must lower expectations for the movie...

DK2: second only to DK1

Finally got my own copy. Certain people will stop whining I always dog ear theirs. Anyone who dog ears mind better hide Outback. Serious shit, this is.

My review: stupid to make Carrie "cat girl". She was a great "Robin". Besides that the book rocks.

Move over Frank Miller: make way for Mark Millar

I just discovered the best comic book ever: The Authority. Why? They're not afraid to have gay men in their super friends club.

I remember when the Dark Knight Returns exploded over the comics landscape. Frank Miller took the gloves of of Batman and made him the bad ass he was meant to be. Cutting edge it was considered. But that's old hat to what Warren Ellis and Mark Millar have done by creating two super powered homosexual heroes... who marry each other:

Stephen McGinty, The Sunday Times (England), Feb. 27, 2000

WHAT would Lois Lane think? The American comic company that gave the world Superman and Batman is creating the first homosexual superheroes.

In the past, caped crusaders fought for truth, justice and the American way. Now gay rights will be added to their muscle-bound repertoire. The 21st- century gender pioneers are called Apollo and Midnighter, a loving couple who cohabit in a giant spaceship.

While Batman opted for a cold glass of milk, served by his butler Alfred, after saving the world, Apollo and Midnighter cuddle up in bed and watch episodes of Friends. In the comic, the characters are seen kissing and are billed in a mocked-up copy of Hello!, the celebrity magazine, as "the world's finest couple".

The funniest part? I could pass for Apollo! Know who I'm going as at the next party. Now to convince Kyle.

I'm in heaven....footy, a new iMac, Kyle, comics with kick ass gay heroes...it doesn't get better than this.
