In this run-up to Halloween season, I have to confess that I am puzzled that bats feature so prominently in Halloween iconography. In this part of the world, the bats are hibernating when Halloween rolls around. I have always been a big fan of bats. I am not a fan of Frank Miller, the asshole fascist who ruined the "Batman" franchise by making it all angsty and shit (and by "shit", I mean shit). My opinion of the "Batman" mythos can be summed up with a simple couplet:
The "Batman" that's the best,
Is the one with Adam West.
I can't decide which "Batman" villain is the best... whether it's Egghead (Vincent Price, W00T!) or King Tut. I love King Tut's supervillain origin story:
I suspect Bruce took pity on him because the good professor gave him a "Gentleman's B".

King Tut.

ReplyDeleteI believe you mean "the following Sloka, which, as you have not heard, I will now proceed to relate".
