I’m surprised no one yet has mentioned the single best joke in the new Goddamn Batman: The Joker doesn’t smile ONCE.

Oh and also, they’ll let anyone join the Yakuza these days or is that just in Frank Miller’s “Every Woman is Prostitute” fantasy world?

What do you get when you cross The Royal Tenenbaums with any silver age team book? Let’s ask Gerard Way.

Seriously, when reinterpreting other people’s work it’s usually advised to change things around as to avoid obvious parallels, right?

Estranged brothers and sisters are forced to reunite under the same roof years after their glory days as child prodigies have past because of the death/dying of a father they all feel indifference towards?

Wow, and it doesn’t stop there? The Rumour being a narcissist with an estranged husband who falls in love with her “brother”? Hello, Margo Tenenbaum.

Two “brothers” with conflicting personality types sharing a rivalry that often results in violent confrontations? Hey that’s you, Baumer and Eli Cash.

The Monocle’s brown turbaned servant and personal little helper? Yes yes, Pagoda…your in here too.

The Monocle’s wife being revealed to be a robotic mannequin lady? Sorry Anjelica Huston, your acting was a bit cold and emotionless.

There’s probably more but I’m bored now.
