I rented Batman: Gotham Knight yesterday. I mostly liked it. The problem with a series of vignettes is that sometimes you will get some suck next to the awesome. The Batman: Black and White series seems to be the sole exception to this rule.

( minor spoilers for Gotham Knight and Dark Knight )

Kevin Conroy is the only actor from the animated series doing voices (he will always be my Batman). They got David McCallum to play Alfred, and his Alfred talks like Jeeves which I liked.
Also, Avatar Kuruk is the voice of Jim Gordon. Heh.

One of my coworkers is circulating a catalog of tchotchkes for her kid's school fundraiser.

What do I see? Avatar: the Last Airbender Coin Sorters!
(You know, those plastic tubes that if you fill them up will have of 50 cents worth of pennies or $10 worth of quarters).

Each tube has a picture of one of the leads.
Sokka is the penny tube. Poor Sokka.
Season 1 Zuko is the dime tube. I wonder what that says about Zuko's "equipment"?

The set is going for $8.50, and the whole thing is so hilarious, I think I am compelled to own it.

A crossover made especially for braisinhussy and moriyama_umi: an icon songset of Katara/Zuko with lyrics from Franz Ferdinands's "40 ft".

The icon maker also made the icon I'm using now and a hilarious cockblocked Zuko icon.

There is a con devoted to Jem and the Holgrams, and it's happening next year in Chicago.

omgsoawesome

Truly outrageous!

from Neil Gaiman's blog:

I always loved the idea of doing a Sandman/Batman Animated cartoon episode, and we were definitely talking about it in '93, after Vertigo came into existence -- I remember talking to Paul Dini about what actors could do Morpheus's voice, and had voted for, I think, John Hurt, although I may be misremembering.

Too bad it never came to fruition because I'm sure it would have been pretty bad ass, especially if they were able to get John Hurt.

from TeeVeePedia:

Super Friends is the name taken by Justice League Unlimited between 1975 and 1985, when they were under the influence of Lex Luthor's "retardation ray."

eta: I would start watching again if the OC TeeVeepedia entry were true.

The Tick is back on TV starting 6/13/05!

(Mondays through Sundays at 11pm Eastern & Pacific on Toon Disney, and Saturday & Sunday mornings at 11am Eastern & Pacific on ABC Family).

Aw yeah. I love cable.
*offers another sacrifice to the TV god*

Oh good lord, my fandoms are colliding ...again.
Angel's Fred (as the Huntress) and DS9's Weyoun (as The Question) in an upcoming Justice League Unlimited episode, "Double Date."

Of course what I'm really excited about is Green Arrow and Black Canary going on a date. *squeee!*

I pulled a muscle on Friday so I spent all of the weekend sitting on the couch with a heating pad taped to my shoulder, watching Food Network.

I swear, it was a barbeque themed weekend because every time that channel was on, it was some sort of barbeque contest, a spotlight on a barbeque champion, or Bobby Flay and his grill.

Since then, I've had a ungodly craving for ribs. Too bad the nearest rib place is Sizzler, and our local one is a bit on the sucky side.

All I wanted was to watch Alton Brown talk about butter! At least I got to see the new Justice League Unlimited with Ollie(!!!).

So my deep dark past as a Digimon fan comes to light.
