@amigoingcrazzyy Newsstand comics we're not designed for a guaranteed readership, it was quite possible never to see the next issue, so every issue had to stand on its own. Hence a denser package. And comics have become more visual first, possibly to be easier to adapt to tv and film.
New podcast, this weekend of my Swamp Things podcast with guest Matt Gamble who will be with me for a six episode run. We had a blast describing Swamp Thing #72 with some mind blowing page layouts.

I also think this whole non-issue ignores the type of casting Kenneth Branagh, clearly one of Nolan's influences, was doing in Much Ado About Nothing and Hamlet. It just screams bad faith and deserves to be ignored.
I'm not the biggest fan of Nolan. But I'm more than a little suspicious of one of the largest purveyors of AI slop attacking the foremost champion of practical filmmaking in Hollywood.
Remember when Denzel Washington played MacBeth, not the first Shakespeare role for him, and nobody freaked out and the world didn't end? I think some people just want attention.
@thebatmanbc I think it's debatable whether Batman, as a general concept, needs a Robin.
I think it's definitive that Frank Miller's Dark Knight needs a Robin.
@jerrythom11@AuthorGFAllen Star Wars, the book, was based on the screenplay. The movie wasn't based on the book, the book was based on the movie, even if it wasn't completed. See also 2001.
@upstatefederlst 80s kids, who likely lived in a time when their parents weren't paying for cable, had no choice. You had maybe 5 stations and one would be the UHF independent flooded with cheap, old movies.
90s kids had TCM as a reliable alternative. On demand streaming has ended those eras.
