And that's why Batman ruuuules

I dunno if this is really John Constantine; looks more like David Bowie to me. It is probably a safe assumption that it is not David Bowie, though.
I just got finished reading a few of the Hellblazer TPBs that I never got around to looking at for whatever reason, and this one was pretty great. The nazi plot was a little eh, but the Bruce-Wayne-takeoff character was super fun (and he'd been introduced in an earlier plotline, too, so I got to feel all caught up). Good art, good writing, a bit of the old ultra-violence, some primo crazy eyes, and a small helping of Teh Gay. Although it is Teh Very Cynical and Manipulative Gay, but that is probably exactly what it should be. I will take it.

Semirelevantly, this is so true.

(I figured that Creeper was more appropriate for this entry than Nivlem, even though it's got a lot of Batman, because it's all about looking at stuff.)

I'm normally not a praying man, but if you’re up there, please save me, Superman.

Chmmr found this page: The Religious Affiliations of Comic Book Characters. It's pretty entertaining, not least because of the Baby-Cakes-like Superman, and the Lex-Luthor-like J. Jonah Jameson entry: 'Hates Spiderman.' Rock.
Loads of Catholics. Hardly any Hindus. Total cop-out with the Red Skull though.
