BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE D Y N A M I C D U O S Starting this August from @markwaid.bsky.social me, @matlopes.bsky.social @claytoncowles.bsky.social @amarino2814.bsky.social @roblevin.bsky.social @dc.com

I’d like to speak to the manager

If the Hawks manage to go all the way, they’re going to build a statue of this.

Ca-CaWW

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

This one is muddy and messed up in all the right ways. Join @judedoyle.bsky.social , Fran Galán, Patricio Delpeche, Tom Napolitano this July! www.dc.com/blog/2026-04...

It's going to be a tight race, but when the blood finally dries and history renders its verdict, this one may prove to have been the most catastrophic appointment of all.

Heart breaker. I am broken. Basketball is a game of inches.

He's here. The Batman: Dark Patterns tpb is out today from DC. Me, @cleanlined.bsky.social, @treecolour.bsky.social, & @gofrankgo.bsky.social. Who is the Wound Man? What is the voice in the tower? Have the Red Hood Gang truly returned? And why is Gotham burning? The Dark Detective is on the case.

Tonight’s episode of THE PITT really hit home for my by tackling the trifecta of kidney failure, blood thinner, and the inescapable threat of aging. That’s fucking television, baby! (And I’m upset about it.)

“Bridget Jones’s Letterboxd Diary” (2027)

2026: HaWWWWWWWWWWks! 2015: HaWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWks!

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

Oh yes! Let's talk about this! "A reasonable conclusion is that most screenplays submitted to the Black List website are competent but not exceptional, and those that are exceptional are quite rare (which roughly mirrors what most of us know instinctively if we’ve read a lot of screenplays)."

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

“Does the human body *actually* need sleep,” he wondered , aloud (surprisingly), while jabbing his cat and filling her like a balloon.

HaWWWWWks!

Tonight we remember our dear friend and bandleader Cleto 💙

Issue #2 of DC K.O.: KNIGHTFIGHT has Batman up against an deadly Dick Grayson... and Jason Todd?!! Dan Mora, @treecolour.bsky.social & I ramp up the action as Bruce Wayne must confront his own legacy. Make sure to pre-order before FOC MONDAY!

FINAL DAY!! Blambot Halloween Sale! Save 10% at check out with code JACKOLANTERN from Oct. 31st to November 4th 2025! blambot.com

#4 of ‘Cheetah & Cheshire Rob The Justice League’ is out this week!!! The heist BEGINS! @gregrucka.com

Probably adding one more movie to the October list tonight. Open to suggestions…

9 days left and just under $1100 to go! Join me in supporting the Ringo-nominated comic ETHERES deluxe edition on Kickstarter! Not only do you get a great book, but you’re helping a refugee & marginalized member of our community to better their situation. www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

Do the Clippers call their first game of rhe season the Opening Clip-Off? I am available for consulting.

I wasn’t able to attend the @ringoawards.bsky.social in person last night, but getting a call from @markwaid.bsky.social to say I’d won for Best Artist was so thrilling— then to get a SECOND call from him an hour later to say Batman & Robin: Year One #1 won Best Single Issue/Story?!?Unbelievable!

I’ve reached the 19 horror movies in 17 days phase of October and all I can think is “I’ve gotta find another genre.” (All but one of these have been first-time watches and I’ve clearly got to rewatch some stuff I love and/or make better choices.)

Apologies to anyone that went to their comic shops this week looking for BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE #12 and came away empty-handed. The Dynamic Duo’s Year One finale will instead be available OCTOBER 29th!

I urge folks to watch this in full if they can. Kat & activists on the ground are 100% correct: That whole "Chicago is a war zone" narrative is FALSE & yet so popular with people in power, but the ones CREATING a war zone are the current regime, DHS & ICE, all over the city & def in #Broadview

Wait, it’s not called NOW YOU THREE ME?!

Happy Batman Day, to all who celebrate!

Einbinder on saying 'free Palestine' during her Emmys speech: "It is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state."

Repeating with proper linkage -- new newsletter today, talking process, heists and Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #2! Free! Might make you smile, and God knows we could use some smiles.... front-towards-enemy.ghost.io/16-whackjobs...

"Make a superhero comic that's unafraid to be a superhero comic with the coolest comic book character with the coolest stuff and the coolest gadgets, the coolest car, the coolest sidekick." Matt Fraction tells us his simple approach to Batman. Listen🔗🧵⬇️

I wrote this years ago because I was getting annoyed by how often I had to correct files from other artists: www.tumblr.com/mckelvie/167... Learning this information and following these steps will make your colleagues' lives easier, and give your art a much better chance of printing well.
