I mean, if he actually does get cast in Dark Knight Rises? Look at him. Dude is Dick Grayson. Or should be. Boy Wonder or Nightwing, I don't care.

Yeah, he'll probably be someone else - Hugo Strange, one of Bane's stooges, or just Cop #2. And I'm pretty sure Nolan has said he doesn't want Robin in his movies.

But still. Dude should be Dick Grayson.

Okay, BTW: One more thing:

I've started writing a new novel.

About superheroes.

Well, kind of about superheroes.

It's going to be totally different than Superspiff and the Toothpick Kid.

And I hope I don't fuck it up and that I have fun doing it, despite how dark it is.

But right now, I am having fun. So that's gotta count for something.

I am in a superhero kind of mood today.

I was doing some...ah, research, and revisited the Women in Refrigerators website. I don't know if it's the fact that it's over 10 years since that list was posted, but I dug a little deeper this time and read some of the writer/creator responses and...wow. It's kind of appalling.

Anyway, so I wasn't around too much yesterday, and ( Read more... )

Witness, over in the skies of Podcastle, Jessica Lee's short story "Supehero Girl," a story about dualtiy and superheroes. Maybe. It's great fun and one of the shortest full length stories Podcastle's run, but it packs a punch that makes Val Kilmer look like Adam West. It was originally published in Fantasy Magazine, and read by Jack Mangan, the ( Read more... )

Finished a very rough draft of a short story 5,900 words. That's pretty long for me. I'm sure it will be shorter when I rewrite and polish it up some more, but it's still a good chunk of words right now.

This is the one I rewrote from scratch and although I like the basic structural changes I made to it (hell, the basic plot is much different now ( Read more... )
