The New 52 Batman Comics Are Worth A Read!

Okay, so I recently started reading the new 52 Batman comics (NOT detective comics, The Dark Knight. JUST Batman).
I'm about 5 issues in and it seems that I accidentally got the Spanish prints of issues 6-8. Oops! So far, I'm really enjoying it. I don't know how different the story was - if it even existed - in the older version of the comic, so I can't tell compare. And being a huge Batman fan, I'm quite disappointed in myself!

Court of The Owls is a pretty badass concept, I must say. But I'm surprised there isn't even a 'supernatural' hint to it unlike my expectations. Nightwing, and Robin also make an appearance but nothing beats the charm of Alfred - the ever-trustworthy butler that can work a supercomputer all by himself. I thoroughly loved how we get to explore the history of the Wayne family and it's shockingly violent and grim. The Court Of Owls are born and bred assassins and are now at the verge of slaying Bruce Wayne. This is one of the rarest times when Batman has been mentally overmatched. Not that we didn't already know, there is indeed a weaker side to Batman, and I can't wait to see how this turns out. Right after I get the proper prints!

Trying To Get Caught Up With TV Shows These Days...

There's a flurry of awesome shows on TV nowadays and I've spend too much time catching up on Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead. So much that it's beginning to take a toll on me. Just a few hours ago, a buddy suggested I start watching Game Of Thrones again because it got really good at the end of season 2. My answer to that: 'I've got no motivation of doing so, my friend.' 

And here I am trying to catch up with Arrow. It seems like an amazing show to watch, plus it's only about 5 episodes in so far (Am I right?) 

I guess my fascination mainly has to do with it being based on a DC comic. It could just be my Batman nostalgia backing up on me...

If you are all caught up with Arrow, sound off in the comments about how you liked (or disliked) it...:)

The Dark Knight Returns Part 1

Having read the amazingly-epicly-awesome graphic novel, I gave this a watch. Thank-you DC for splitting this into a 2-part series. Should be worth our while!
