* So they recalled All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder #10 because it dropped enough C-bombs to level Themiscyra. Frank Miller: Keeping Comics Evil!
* Alicia Ashby at Topless Robot gives the business to The 10 Most Annoying Post-Apocalyptic Worlds. Money quote:
Nuclear bombs can accomplish a lot of things, but exploding so hard that magic exists isn’t one of them.
* My bud Rick Marshall at MTV’s Splash Page talks with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator (and Xeric Foundation founder) Peter Laird about the possibility of new live-action/CGI Turtles movies. I don’t really care about that all that much, but I was interested in what Laird had to say about the original TMNT movie, quite the post-Burton-Batman cultural touchstone for yours truly. I haven’t watched it in ages but I remember it being a good-looking film for what it was, in terms of things like lighting and the costumes, and Laird echoes that.
* Also at Splash Page, Mike Mignola lets loose with a steady stream of guffawing backhanded compliments for Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy movies.
* Music writer par excellence Matthew Perpetua polishes off his “write about every single R.E.M. song ever” blog Pop Songs 07 (for now) with, appropriately enough, “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine).”
