I’m a big fan of Batman: The Brave and the Bold series that’s running on Cartoon Network right now, it’s got a Dietrich Bader voiced Batman and tons of DC Comics B-List heroes. I mean, they’re not afraid to bring the likes of Plastic Man and Wildcat out of obscurity to fight alongside Bruce Wayne, which is awesome.
The show reminds me a lot of the Silver Age Batman, in so much as he’s not the mournful and brooding loner, but more of a hero willing to team up and fight crime…and you can’t crap on a show that features R. Lee Ermey as a voice actor, you just can’t.
Well besides it being essentially a kids show, there are moments that prove to be exceptions to the rule, such as the one above that features The Birds of Prey singing a song about all of the different ‘members’ of the superhero community, with Aquaman and Green Lantern getting the proverbial pinky treatment.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
