Yeah, I’ll be checking out stuff online around that time, for sure. I can’t go to any kind of retail Hot Topic ’cause they, like Target, don’t seem to exist in Canada, but if I get a card I should be able to start buying online. Thank youuu :3.

Hmm, Jim Lee art? Hawk might know better … I’m not sure I know of it! And it IS hard to find a Batman bag for grown-ups … check Hot Topic around when the new Batman movie comes out, it might show up then?

I think I remember it having something similar to Jim Lee art, and it was less canvas-bag-like, and was black and gray. It’s surprisingly hard to find a Batman bag that isn’t targeted to seven-year-olds, though. That’s the only kind besides the plasticky cartoon Batman stuff that I’ve ever found too.

I understand what you are saying about that last part, but what my “calling out” has inspired is something huge in scope. I need a few people for it. I won’t say what, though. Seen one too many Bond films to spoil the secrets. Thanks, anyway! ;)

Hah, sure. I don’t feel bad doing it because Frank Miller already has enough clout to his name - it’s not a big deal to go after big fish. I wouldn’t have done the same to a smaller book, and certainly not in the same manner.

Likewise, Frank Miller has a reputation for saying/writing/doing outrageous things (look up Holy Terror! Batman, it’s pretty crazy).

There’s other people who do “reviews” about things like webcomics, and I think that’s stupid. You’re going after small fish, and it’s generally a big waste of time.

Is it the messenger bag with the slightly distressed Batman logo on it? It came with a little penlight that cast the bat symbol.

Like that, but with a distressed logo.

I got that for Hawk on his birthday, from Hot Topic … as far as I know, they’ve been discontinued, though. :/

This has been up since the 6th? Daaaamn. I’m sorry.

As per that latter review, well put: You cover potential biases and refute them, point out a lot of problems with the work, etc. You also see a possible positive benefit, in a completely out-of-context manner. Well done.

I must admit, though, Ananth, shortly after I wrote that, I became inspired with a new, semi-postmodern blog idea. So, uh, thanks for inspiring me to think. :D

This isn’t relevant to this particular post, but a long time ago, I saw one of the posts link to some Batman paraphernalia, and there was a really cool bag in the mix. I have been looking for it on my own ever since (I guess I misplaced the link after showing it to my ex and going “IT’S SO AWESOME” and subsequently drooling over it and wishing I could have it for the hours to come) and can’t even find a link to it here on the site, so, does anyone remember/have a link or any way to obtain it?
