The Knightfall trailer, hmm

 


The Knightfall comic series was the story that got me into comic books in the 90s, that and the death of Superman.  In the 90s, DC went dark, really dark.  They pushed, destroyed, and rebuilt their iconic characters just to see what they were made of.  During this era, DC's heroes looked different after they were torn down.  What kind of person are you when they strip away everything?  Are you still the person you were before the fall?

The Knightfall series brought Batman to his knees, literally.  Bane broke Batman physically and mentally.  With his back broken, Bruce had to step down from Batman.  Another, darker Batman had to take over.  After the new Batman went crazy, Bruce and his team had to take down the new Batman. 

This new DC animated series has me worried.  The comic book story is great, but can we trust DC animation after The Killing Joke and Hush versions?  They made major changes that severely harmed the overall story. Here's hoping they can make it like the comic book series.  

Side note: The Batman animated series did a short Knightfall episode with Bane.  Bruce Timm was never a fan of the Knightfall series and sort of mocked the series.  Batman defeated him easily in that episode.  Bane wasn't a major character in the DCAU.  Heck, even Superman beat up Bane.  Timm was never a fan of the things DC was doing in the 90s.  I disagree.  Timm's stuff and the darker stuff in the comics can co-exist together.

When Pornstars Attack: A collection of Meltdowns (Tanner Mayes

When Pornstars Attack: A collection of Meltdowns Tanner Mayes Meltdown (No relation to the late Billy Mays) Okay, many of us guys would like to meet a pornstar or even date one, but this clip should make every guy think twice about that. new video Comment: Besides the cussing, there isn't any nudity in this behind the scenes videos. At first, Tanner Mayes seems a bit tipsy, but starts to lose it as the video goes on. One of the best parts is when the guy in the glasses yells at her. And, then she says, “Calm me down.” Is she on somethings? Another cool part is when she shoves the computer off the desk. The owner of the computer throws coke at her (The cola not the drugs). What a way to get back at someone breaking your stuff. She then orders him to throw more coke on her. Brilliant move. Best line: Tanner says, “I hope I quit porn because of you.” Somehow, that's passive aggressive and aggressive at the same time. I'm not sure how that's a t...

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...
