TARDISes Are Forever.



Can we all just take a moment to consider this possibility: James Bond is a Time Lord.

Here's what we know. James Bond has been kicking villainous ass since the 1960s. He looks different every few years. This leaves us with only a few possible explanations.

Odds and Ends



Bit of a scattered post for today, we're gonna cover a few things. There's been a lot of first looks hitting the internet, so lets proceed and get our first looks at them.

First up, the first photos of "Catwoman" in The Dark Knight Rises have gone up online. I put Catwoman in quotation marks because...well, you'll see. Anyway, here she is:

Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman
I'm pretty underwhelmed by it, much like I have been with the few shots we've seen of Bane. This may be an interesting character that I'm looking at, but it's not Catwoman. I don't like it, but I didn't like Spider-man's new movie threads, and those are growing on me, so we'll see.

Alliterative Aliases Are Abundant



If comic books love anything, it's alliterative names. Matt Murdock. Clark Kent. Lois Lane. Lex Luthor. Wally West. Reed Richards. Bruce Banner. Peter Parker.

They of the alliterative names now have a new playmate on the playground: Miles Morales.

Miles Morales will be taking up the mantle of Spider-man in Marvel's Ultimate Comics imprint.  Miles Morales is half-black, half-hispanic.  The media, totally diligent and certainly not in anyway sensationalist,  caught wind of a couple key phrases and is turning this story into something of a circus. Those phrases are: 'Spider-man is dead' and 'Spider-man is black.'

Wherein Introductions Are Made



I'm new to this whole Blogger thing. I started this as a continuation of a previous blog I was writing over on Tumblr.  I was enjoying writing it, but Tumblr just didn't feel like the right fit for what I wanted to do, or for getting much of an audience.  If you stumble across this blog, feel free to check out http://nerdbabble.tumblr.com/ to get an idea of what you can expect here in the future.


Beyond that, regular (to semi-regular) updates should begin tomorrow. I hope there's something here for you to enjoy.
