I've read a million and one Batman TPBs, but I only just picked up Batman #650 last week. I read it and thought it was pretty decent, but it raises a few questions for me, that I'm hoping one of you guys can answer. I know he's been running around as the Red Hood for the last year, killing crims and stuff like that, but riddle me this:

1) How did Jason Todd come back to life?
2) Why is he such a freakin' psycho?

I read A Death in the Family about two weeks ago, so I know all about Jason Todd's death. But it pisses me off how Jason won't take responsibility for his own death now. Batman laid down the law from the start, told Jason he had to take a break from being Robin. HE ran off across the Middle-East looking for three people who *might* be his mother. HE didn't wait for Batman to come back before they took down the Joker together. It's HIS fault. The only mistakes Batman made was not kicking his ass for disobeying him and not taking Jason with him when he was stopping those medical supplies from shipping...

In fact, Batman's only mistake was trusting Jason Todd too much. If proof's in the pudding, then Jason couldn't even be trusted with his own life...

Nintendo Wii

You know, I'm sort of hoping for Nintendo's sake that they won't be selling their consoles at a loss - I don't think they need to to keep it at a competitive price point. Hell, Sony and Microsoft have both outright chosen not to compete with Nintendo on price point.

I also feel that a September release date might be a bit rushed...although, if the 16 launch titles mentioned so far are ready for then, then power to them.

No, but I was interested when I read that Busiek was on it...

In other news, I've read a million comics over the last few weeks, but at the moment I'm reading Alan Moore's Watchmen, and I have to say, this is the best graphic novel I have ever read, bar none, and I haven't even finished it.

Heh, mine too. Plus she turns SIXteen.


Yeah, but she wasn't born today, was she?

Well, it's been the 6th over in Australia for a good 20 hours and the world still hasn't ended yet, so my American friends (and anyone else further down the dateline), have a wonderful day today!

Hey, after the crap Zod pulled, I'm thinking these illegal aliens may be VERY dangerous! For every Kal-El who wants to fight for "Truth, Justice and all that stuff" you get three Kryptonian Kriminals who want to rule the world.

We need a bigger interplanetary fence made out of Kryptonite.


Remembering that the character was created by two Jewish immigrants, it's *meant* to be at the forefront of Superman discussions.

Well, you'll be hard-pressed to find a female comic book character with breasts much smaller than that! And WITH claws?! Sheesh, you're a demanding one aren't you?

Try Lady Deathstike then. She's one of Wolverine's greatest nemeses...

World Cup 2006

Australia made it for the first time in 20+ years, which was exciting enough for us to begin with, but on top of that we beat Uruguay to qualify, and we tied with the Netherlands (ranked 3rd currently) two nights ago. Considering Australia's ranking, we have done very well so far.

We'll have to play Brazil soon though *gulp*, 'cause they're in our pool. I don't think any Australian has illusions of beating them.

Ri-iiidge Racer!!!
Time
I found this video to be extremely funny. Now, apparently Sony's E3 Press Conference this year was incredibly boring, but someone has taken the trouble to extract the *most important* points of the conference (very cynically, I might add) and crammed them into one minute of video footage. The end result? Ri-iiidge Racer!, Giant Enemy Crabs, and 599 US dollars. Hilarious.
