I've been a big fan of TB&TB from the outset. It's great stuff.

I can't quite help comparing it to the Timmverse, but I do rather enjoy it. Their take on Aquaman is one of the best things about it. I think one of Aquaman's biggest problems is a lack of iconic personalty traits, so why not make him all Brian Blessedy? How can you even make fun of a guy like that?
