Something I thought was funny/interesting... the official DC page did a poll asking whether or not Joker is Batman's soulmate and referred to the pairing as being "toxic BFs".

This isn't the first time either, the official Batman page compared Batman and Joker to Netflix's Heated Rivalry. (As a side note, one of the show's leads Connor Storrie has a pretty significant Joker connection in Joker: Folie à Deux.)

Not that I expect this to officially reflect in the comics beyond the usual subtext but it is interesting to see DC embracing it on social media.

The text of Cherryh's post reads:

"Dear readers and friends. The unhappy fact is---the numerous bouts of anaesthetic I've had have made it pretty well impossible for me to write. I drop stitches. Not many. No problems with daily life or doing creative stuff or enjoying life in general. But the ability to control narrative is just not what it was, and it's just not going to be there. I've accepted that, painful as it is. I thank all of you who've stood by me patiently. The body of work is what it is, and I am lastingly grateful to my publisher, Betsy Wollheim, who has given me every extension of time and resource. And of course to Jane, who is all things.

JLA Giffen-DeMatteis-Wozniak, JLE Giffen-Jones-Robertson. Warning for just SO MUCH NYC-based destruction. If you thought JLI #11 had a little imagery that hit different after 9/11, you hadn't seen anything yet.

Inspector Camus comes to the Justice League’s old embassy to find Michael Morice cleaning up. Morice may have been fired some time before the UN shut down the whole Justice League operation, but this was his embassy before that, and he won’t leave it in a state of bloody disorder! Shaking his head, Camus uses the monitor room to contact the League, but the League is in wild party mode in celebration of Max's return. So that’s about as productive as discussing anal-retentive tendencies with Morice. ( Or pacifism with Despero. )

The latest issue of TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures (which you should all be reading, it is a delight and features nods and references to all forms to TMNT canon), features Bebop telling a sick Krang a bedtime story, set in a vaguely fantasy-ish realm.

And, well, it features a cameo from some fellow Saturday morning stars who are even more lost than usual...

Four books new to me. Three fantasy, one horror (maybe?) and at least one is part of a series.

"Everyone loves a deeply flawed character with a dark sense of humor… and The Joker’s always been a crowd-pleaser. Happy anniversary to one of the Caped Crusader’s greatest rogues, who made his comic debut in BATMAN #1. Written by Bill Finger, with pencils by Bob Kane, and inks by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson." -- James Gunn

I've been working my way back through some albums I haven't listened to in decades, to see how they hold up.

I just started a shower with Sisters of Mercy: Floodland, and sang along with the whole first song, despite not having heard it in 30 years.

Brought back a lot of university memories too.

Funny thing, memory.

JLA Giffen-DeMatteis-Wozniak, JLE Giffen-Jones-Robertson. Unfortunately dated New York imagery by Wozniak (and Giffen?) in 1992.

In the last issue of JLE, that team had just been confronted with the revocation of the whole Justice League International charter.

That concept repeats itself in the beginning of “Breakdowns’” next chapter, in America. ( Pity the misinformed reps sent out to Antarctica. )

New behaviour from Gideon.

Every so often he'll see a small trinket he can spend some pocket money on. A waddle-dee or a Yoshi toy.

And he'll buy one, take it home, and carefully place it on Jane's bedside table, for her to enjoy.
