    How a webcomic is rehabilitating Batman's image in the eyes of fans. In popular media, Bruce Wayne, or Batman, has a certain image: The Dark Knight, Vengeance, Big Brooding Man In A Dark Monochrome Perching On Buildings Like A Gargoyle. He's tortured, he's manly, and he works alone. Except fans have always known that to be false. Fans have known for decades that Bruce Wayne is first and foremost a family man.

    Sacrificing character in the transition from D&D Actual Play to webcomic. After this week's episode and with it the conclusion of our party's first battle, I think it's time to admit that a Webtoon might not be the best vehicle for a full D&D campaign.

The setup of the characters is giving fans everything they could want: from Gorgug and Fabian's fight to Riz being spiked in the trash and dubbed "The Ball." The comic seems to be framed from the point of view of Riz, our young goblin unlicensed PI.

    With the delays in filming, all we can do is wonder about The Batman II, and what might be up with the Joker. The Batman really shook up the comic scene, bringing us a new approach to the infamous Bat and creating a contemporary landscape where the Dark Knight could really thrive. Unfortunately, with the latest projection of an Oct. 1, 2027 release, they won't even begin filming until the end of this year.

A Vic Lib Govt would reduce stamp duty for first home buyers for up to $1m in the latest tax cut being touted by the party. Labor says it’s reusing old policies. This, as the Libs attempt to thwart a by-election as John Pesutto’s defamation debt deadline looms. #springst https://t.co/h68UB8pMUA
