Batman was on citv when I watched it, at least until I was about 13 which is the age you should stop watching cartoons and put away childish things.

I remember watching Phantom 2040 as a kid, the only superhero I can think of who hasn't reappeared in movies etc as the years passed.

e: Google tells me he belonged to some syndicated publishing house instead of either Marvel or DC which I guess explains it.

Wasn't there a lovely Phantom movie with Alec Baldwin? The cartoon was cool tho, such an interesting vibe

DC have been publishing a sorta continuation of the series lately and it's been mostly pretty fun. They've split the volumes into "seasons" so it's not too difficult to follow either. Only odd thing is they've incorporated a bunch of more modern concepts and characters which feels a bit at odds sometimes.

Does it have the same incredibly cool noir look? Because I think I might get obsessed with the aesthetic style of Batman: The Animated Series now that I've actually seen more than stills for the first time. Coz what the gently caress possessed someone to make a cartoon in the early '90s that feels like it was set in the 1930s? I dunno, but it's cool they did & that it seemed to pay off.

The first two volumes have a pretty similar aesthetic. I felt as if it could be pushed a little more but I was content with it.



Unfortunately they seem to have made a shift in art direction for Season 3 (currently ongoing). Not as big of a fan of this and I'd probably drop the comic if I wasn't personally interested in it.

The comic also has the advantage of having Paul Dini involved in it. I don't think he does much except guide the broad strokes but it makes it feel a little more like an actual continuation.

I thought the Tripple-Lock meant that pensions go up by the same as Average Earnings, Inflation or 3% - whichever is higher ?

So when inflation was low, pensions went up in real terms, and now they keep track with inflation
'Inflation' in the triple lock sense is tracked against weird metrics that don't take into account the rising cost of bills and food, so pensions are definitely not going to be worth enough to live on in the future - definitely not worth as much as retirees get now.

Batman in the animated series is played by the beloved (and sadly now deceased) Kevin Conroy, who popularised the idea of Batman and Bruce Wayne using different tones of voice. He and Mark Hamill reprised their roles as Batman and the Joker for the Arkham video game series.

Kevin Conroy is the Batman voice I hear in my head whenever I read a Batman thing, it’s just as iconic as Hamill’s Joker.

And sadly for those who love Adam West's Batman I mostly only know him from his brief appearances on Family Guy, e.g.

(For those unsure, Adam West plays a fictional insane version of himself as the mayor of the town.)

ahahah, remember how I was complaining BBC news puts pretty women next to every horrible or unrelated story to get you to click

well of course that's targeted at me because i must click on stories with women in the pic more often. i noticed the current news story photo was different for a split second and then went into private browsing and sure enough, on the cookieless version there's a man in the photo of this story about supermarket prices. in my version there's some woman.

Posting here because this thread is always full of useful knowledge. Does anyone have experience or opinions on external wall insulation? We are mid terrace with solid walls. I’m not keen on going the internal route due to loss of space and needing to move sockets/radiators.

Not sure if it’s worth the cost in terms of savings on heating bills, but is there an intangible comfort factor? Are there any issues with damp etc that could be introduced?

On another comic related note, Conroy had his own comic in DCs Pride anthology in 2022 about his struggles as a gay voice actor in the 90s. I'm not sure if it was published after his passing but I did read it after and it did make me emotional as a gay person who grew up loving the series. You can find it online and it is well worth a read.

the thing is, just to give an example of how this kind of thing can warp you, in particular i noticed lately that every story i'd see about university stuff, which i'm generally interested in anyway, would have a picture of a female student in it. so that i would be more likely to click on the story,. but then i had the thought 'man, people really assume students are female these days. that tracks with what i've read about a lack of attainment in young men. bad situation'

but in reality it was nothing to do with that. it's cos bbc noticed that i'll probably investigate attractive women online. i made up a whole thing in my head. i've also thought it seems like there are very many female top CEOs etc, but maybe that's all being totally filtered just to show me them and i'm completely offbase.

this isn't even new information to me, i've always known websites do this, but you forget and then it has all these intended and unintended effects anyway. how wrong is what i think about the overall tone of the world? this is just gender, it's going to be in everything.

Netflix does this to crazy levels. The one that springs to mind is a show called Biohackers. On Mrs Radcliffe's profile the thumbnail was an ominous green with a biohazard symbol and the protagonist looking fearful. On mine it was a topless blonde covering her boobs with her arms - from a scene that lasts about 3 seconds and is the only thing close to being sexually explicit in the entire show.

I've looked into it some, and external monocouche render comes off looking a lot better for what you get than the 10cm thick external fake foam filled walls that are used to pad out terraced houses.
