Batman (11/9/1989)

This is ostensibly a direct follow-up to the 1989 Tim Burton Batman so this roughly matches up with the end of that movie, in which Batman does in fact rescue Vicki Vale from the Joker by causing him to fall to his death, although iirc this isn't really how it was staged-- I remember a heavy stone gargoyle being involved somehow.

I'm not one to defend Fastrack often, but internal recommendations are a really good source for job applicants. And if Dethany can get Trellis to agree to a hybrid office/remote work environment, that will be a good cultural shift for the company. I don't think there's anything wrong with Dethany recommending her friend for the role.

This is a good and valid point in a vacuum, but nothing about Fastrack has convinced the thread that it's the kind of company that gets run responsibly or reasonably, and that's frequently the actual joke.

Yeah, remember this is the company where the boss's idea of work from home is getting her employees to live and work from her mansion while vacating their own homes. Why would she allow someone to work somewhere that she can't physically glower at them?

Classic Kevin & Kell (January 17-21, 2000)







Someone itt mentioned that Tammy only loved Ray because of his body, and that was spot-on, honestly.

It's interesting seeing Classic K&K again because Tammy and Ray have to be one of Holbrook's most toxic pairings ever. Someone else mentioned that Ray could've used his newfound intelligence to figure out that having feelings for Lindesfarne isn't going to jeopardize her relationship, he could just move on and find someone else to love. But no, his only solution for his dilemma is to shoot himself with the intelligence ray and make himself stupid again.

As for Tammy, she only got together with Ray for his body, and she was taking advantage of him being too gullible to refuse being in a relationship with her. Maybe Holbrook realized how unhealthy this is, but instead of breaking them up, his solution is to 'punish' Tammy for her shallowness by giving her a disability and forcing her to be dependent on Ray so she can appreciate him.

It doesn't matter if the resolution is ableist and that the two aren't suited for each other, Holbrook needs them to stay together for more pregnancies to happen.

Just, uh... just gonna drop that in there, huh? No explanation, just magic. I dig it, but what a weird, unusually horny, rather disjointed story. Poor Mark. He comes back at some point later, don't worry. It looks like a couple stories before then though.

I'm mostly confused that magic exists in the setting now, even if it adds absolutely nothing. Axa is usually a massive idiot that it didn't even register to me that she was in a trance when she went back to the old lady. Also, Dirk has to be the worst boyfriend so far, what with his constantly being an rear end in a top hat and urging Axa to abandon saving others.

At the very end it's Batman and Vale hanging off a ledge high up Gotham Cathedral, and the Joker tries to escape in a helicopter, dangling off a rope ladder. Batman fires a bola gadget that wraps around Joker's ankle and the gargoyle, Joker tries to wrench himself free, the gargoyle breaks off its pedestal and the weight drags him off the ladder. Not easy to fit in a single panel. They do have a fistfight before all that happens, though. I've seen that movie a lot.

Batman's tenet against killing has never kept writers from writing stories where he clearly causes deaths in a sort of plausibly deniable way, even before Arkham Asylum and Batman Begins.

In the NES adaptation he straight up murders Joker (of course the licensed games were/are often based on limited material and mostly done before the film was finished)
