I can't wait to see your San Antonio pictures!

Yes, you should MOST DEFINITELY read The Long Dark Halloween, and especially Batman: Year One if you haven't. And in non-Batman graphic novels, try Watchmen if you've never read it!

I was just about to make the same suggestions.

You shoulda forced me to read Watchmen years ago! That book deserves all the accolades it's received over the past two decades.

Have you seen The Dark Knight yet? If so, what'd you think?

!!!!SPOILERS PEOPLE!!!!

Dark Knight- glad they had the balls to kill Rachel, liked what it did for the story, finally got rid of the "tumbler" (thank God), Jim Gordon was excellent, Aaron Eckhart was fan-freaking-tastic, Morgan Freeman's guy was great. The movie had a LOT going on and it was really put together well. The whole Hong Kong thing was great. How's the mansion not rebuilt yet? Could just one of Gordon's family have been killed? Liked that they threw in the Scarecrow for a moment. So the Joker... scary, but NOT SCARY ENOUGH. The movie was already not cartoony enough for kids and totally adult so lets push the envelope with this character and make him the most notorious serial killer EVER! No? Too much for audiences? Okay, whatever.
