Okay guys I have to go out, but I already leave the necessary cached CAPTCHAS up. So if nothing goes wrong this should go nice and smooth, if it don't then someone should take me place

I bought the physical copy day one, had been looking forward to it for ages.

It didn't disappoint. Based Dini does it again. I loved the art too, not sure why I saw some people shitting on it recently.

Shouldn't have lived so close to the poor part of LA then.

Considering that this is pretty much like Flex mentallo the less complicated version, yeah, it will

>>83969838
It may well have been the only place he could afford to live at on his paycheck while being a reasonable travel distance to-and-from work (discounting the ones that would be even worse to live in).

I've used Batman as my Mr Charles many times. Life can be hard, and we don't all get blessed with half the support Dini had

You're seriously going to tell me they weren't black...

Jesus Christ, this story is straight out of a cringe thread. This was a grown man with a career behaving like that? Taking girls out on dates multiple times being nothing more than a friendzone guy, when he's feeling bad he thinks of what girl he can call and calls harleys voice actor? Jesus

I nearly died about 2 years ago. Im lucky to even be walking today. This story really hits hard. Well done Paul Dini, you really did affect "someone". Thanks

>>83970307
Sorry to bring this to you dude, but everyone has problems and acts like dumbass sometimes, even adults make mistakes you know ?

>>83970307

Considering Sorkin liked him enough to buy him a birthday present and come over when he was hurt, I'd say they were close enough that it was actually a smart decision.

Some of your best friends can be made at work.

>>83965603
he didnt listen to batman about toning up. when he was on smiths podcast promoting this comic he was twice the size he is in this comic

>>83970616
Seeing as how it seems like nothing actually changed in his life besides his will to continue living, I can't say I'm surprised

>>83970307
>when he's feeling bad he thinks of what girl he can call and calls harleys voice actor?
Sorkin and Dini were friends before BTAS even started, that's why she ended up voicing the character he created. But go ahead and keep shitposting like a newfag.

>>83970616
To be fair, this was like in the 90s I think, it has been a long time now

I was about to point out Gotham City Sirens, but then I remembered he wrote that too.

I consider Sirens to be an extension of the animated series. That's what it always felt like to me.

>>83964670
So I'm supposed to think the guy's been wronged because a girl isn't interested in his dick?

>>83970535

I few months ago I got mugged and when I somehow made it back to my street corner I just sat there and thought about superheroes and my life, and how I was a coward for not being brave/bold and fighting back.

He's called Barry. And McDuffie didn't work for WB Animations at that time.

I wish DCAU would do a feature length version of the Batman/Endless cross over now. Then they could really kick the shit out of Batman without worrying about Fox Kids objecting to it.

>Really strange reading this. Makes me wonder about how many other people have gone through this type of situation.
2 years ago a friend of mine, who I love very much, died from cancer. It all happened so fast. One day we found out she had it and not very long after that she was gone.

For a couple of weeks after she died I was filled with this strange helpless feeling. For hours I'd just sit (or go walking when I couldn't stand not being busy) and think of all the ways she could have lived. Like how Batman or Superman, or some other superhero (or even a villain), would have come up with some technology or magic or alien device that would have cured the cancer and saved her.

It was a very weird time. Suddenly, I was 10 years old again wishing I was a superhero. Only this time it was so I could have saved my friend. It all left me feeling oddly empty inside because I know that's not how real life works.
