The Stone, The Spear, and The Superman, Part 5: Whatever Happened To Uniting The Seven? • Buttondown
David: So: this whole final stretch is a clusterfuck, huh. At least as much to think about here is a matter of the surrounding context as it

The final roundtable as Ritesh Babu, @deathchrist2000, and I and I discuss Zack Snyder's intentions for what would have been Justice League 2 & 3, including that part that gave Henry Cavill's Superman a new nickname.

Kevin was perfection. He was one of my favorite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him – his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated. . . . Kevin was a brilliant actor. For several generations, he has been the definitive Batman. It was one of those perfect scenarios where they got the exact right guy for the exact right part, and the world was better for it. His rhythms and subtleties, tones and delivery – that all also helped inform my performance. He was the ideal partner – it was such a complementary, creative experience. I couldn’t have done it without him. He will always be my Batman. '- Mark Hamill

"It seemed to roar from thirty years of frustration, confusion, denial, love, yearning...yearning for what? An anchor. A harbor. A sense of safety. A sense of identity. Yes, I can relate. Yes, this is terrain I know well. I felt Batman rising from deep within." -"Finding Batman" by Kevin Conroy (from DC Pride 2022)

In memory of Kevin Conroy, I'm reposting his story in his own words. We were so lucky to have Kevin share a piece of his soul with us through playing Batman for over thirty years, and his loss is heartbreaking for an entire generation who grew up with him as our Batman. I'm incredibly grateful to have lived in a world where he got the opportunity to play that role for us for so long and in so many different productions. RIP to a good man, a legend, and one of the most iconic voice actors of all time.

It's Superman Day, my favorite holiday! This year, I'm going to let it kick off a celebration of my Top 10 Superman Artists, starting with undoubtedly the first artist I saw on the Man Of Steel. Curt Swan!

"There came a time..." An Obituary of the Justice League - Comic Book Herald
Call it the gravitational attraction of a primal collection of archetypes, call it a quirk of capitalism realizing you can’t own all the mos
Comic Book Herald

A retrospective on the history of (the major players model of the) Justice League in the wake of #75. A project that took months of reading and a rewrite that cut my draft by half as I realized I was trying to get into and therefore justify every single crappy comic I'd poured through, but I think this came out really well and I'm proud of it.

Among the darlings I had to kill, I realized this didn't actually fit the article as I was writing it but I still like it:

And, as an extra little note while I'm here, my personal favorite Justice League panel:
