My copy of Batman: Three Jokers arrived today! It was such a fun read. I've always loved the dynamic between Batman and Joker, and I have to say that the ending to this was great. Sure, the comic as a whole isn't perfect, but it still has a lot to give. Definitely glad I picked it up :)

P.S. Reading Joker is always better when you imagine Mark Hamil's voice.

My latest obsession.

I've been re-watching a bunch of stuff. The Dark Knight Returns and Under the Red Hood animated movies are still great. I've realised that I am severely lacking in the animated DC department, so I have ordered Assault on Arkham and Justice League: War, both of which I loved when I first saw them. I also ordered the old Batman movies, because it has been years since I've seen the Keaton's Batman. I have no intention of watching the travesty that is Batman & Robin though.

I also restarted Arrow from the beginning, as it has been a long time since I last watched it. I've also returned to watching Gotham too. It's my intention to watch as many of the DC shows as I can before I inevitably dive headlong into some other obsession.

Re-watched The Dark Knight Rises. It was my first time watching it on Blu-Ray and holy shit did they balls up with Tom Hardy's audio. They have made it so much louder than everything else and it's too "clean". It sounds like a horrible dub job. I hate it. I understand there were complaints about trying to understand Bane, but this is worse. It really put me off. I had zero issues with it in the cinema, so I am convinced they've edited it.

I also watched Man of Steel again. It's a good action movie and for the most part, I have enjoyed the DCEU. At least, the few movies I have seen (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman being good/ Suicide Squad being mediocre/ Justice League being awful).

Despite not being a comics guy, I have also pre-ordered the hardback of the Three Jokers, which I am excited to read when it comes out in November.

I'm aiming to watch the remaining movies in the DCEU and then moving onto the DCAU. (The follow-ups to Justice League War, etc). I've seen a couple of them before, but it was a while ago.

Batman has long been one of my favourite characters. I love antiheroes, vigolantes and bullshit Deus Ex Machina characters, so he ticks multiple boxes. Super hyped for Gotham Knights and I might finally return to playing Arkham Knight once I finish playing Horizon: Zero Dawn.

I'm having a blast!

What do y'all think of the stuff shown off at DC Fandome? I gotta say, I'm pretty hyped for Gotham Knights. Looks like The Division meets Batman:Arkham. I'm already more interested in that than Square Enix's Avengers. The new Batman movie looks like it could be decent too.

Anything DC-related that you guys are looking forward to?

I'm thinking of building up a DC dvd collection. Gotham is one of my new favourite shows, and Arrow has been really enjoyable too. I still hve quite a few of the animated movies to watch too.

= 763 Issues (or 114 TPBs).

I started DC with the New 52 and read dozens of TPBs from 2012 and 2013. Those two years are, for the moment, the only ones where I read both Marvels and DCs. As such I'm still waiting for Favorite books lists but I might be the only one, as it's always about songs, albums and movies... But I never watched a single movie from the 70s, nor listened to a song from the 80s.
