This week from DC Comics we get a 70 page amalgam of stories. In fact the title misleads the reader a bit. This title may read Batman Urban Legends 1, but they would have been better off calling this Gotham Urban Legends 1. Batman has nothing to do with this title. Instead what we get are four

George Carlin told perhaps the greatest joke on football ever told in his 10/11/1975 SNL monologue, where he contrasted the pastoral nature of baseball with the warlike sport of football. To quote one segment among many, “In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field
The term "crowd pleasing" or "crowd pleaser" has found itself layered with some derogatory undertones among critic circles. Broad appeal seems immediately discounted, as if populist filmmaking is somehow lesser than when compared to auteurs and hidden indie gems. I've always maintained that there
