squee4242 Yeah, Hot Topic just ain’t what it used to be, but if they’ve got cool Batman stuff I’ll definetly have to check it out.
Jess, Tell me when and where and I’m there.
Is anyone here in Texas? If so, have you ever been to the Alamo Drafthouse? I’ve been reading a lot about it lately and it almost seems like it would be worth the trip to Texas just to check it out. I found a little sort of promotional magazine
thing tonight about it that has loads of articles and about the shows coming up and the schedule and everything and apparently they’ve got some Saturday morning cartoon pajama party deal coming up where you just show up in your pj’s and everyone sort of votes on the cartoons they want to watch and it’s all 80’s and 90’s stuff. How freaking fun is that?
Anyways, on the subject of exciting things going to DVD, I just read that Birds of Prey, the entire series is coming out. This was one of the best shows that just didn’t make it to a second season and it really sucks cause I think if it was brand new and just came out now I bet it would do great. It’s based on characters in the DC comics that live in Gotham City. It’s kind of a spin-off to a Batman show that never was. For you non-comic book geeks, it’s about Oracle (Barbara Gordon–daughter of Comissioner Gordon, who was the first Batgirl until The Joker shot her and paralyzed her and put her in a wheelchair), The Huntress (the daughter of Batman and Catwoman), and a psychic chick called Dinah.
It was a great show and was way before it’s time because it came out pre-Smallville and I just don’t think there was the market for comic book related material back then that there is now. It’s cool because Alfred Pennyworth was a recurring character, and later on Dr. Harley Quinzel showed up (who of course would have later become Harley Quinn if the show had survived). Also, it’s worth watching for the opening title sequence alone. It tells the story of how Batman fought The Joker and decided to leave Gotham, leaving the Birds of Prey to protect it. They got a great actor to play Batman (he was also the same guy that was in the Onstar commercials in the Batmobile many years ago). Also, while the guy who actually played The Joker in the opening sequence was an unknown, they dubbed over the voice of Mark Hammill because was he was famous at the time for doing The Joker’s voice on the Batman animated series.
That show sounds pretty awesome, how old is it? Where did it air?
I’ve never ever heard of it, which is pretty suprising because it sounds like it would generate some buzz especially if it was live action.

SpoonyBard, It came out in 2002 and was on the WB, and yeah, it was pretty awesome. I remember being pretty bummed about it when it was cancelled. They were always going up against metahumans who had weird powers, and in the later episodes, Black Canary showed up. If you’re a fan of the comics, it’s pretty rad, and still a great show if you don’t know anything about the comics. Like I said, I think it would be a big hit now if it was brand new. I think it was just way ahead of its time and suffered from just poor timing.
Knegative, squee4242, Shuanfu, Invader Norbert, and mandy reeves, I added all of your friend codes. Magic Toy I tried adding yours too but for some reason it said I was entering an incorrect code. Wierd. Oh well, I’ll try again later. =)

What are us non-brawlers doing tonight? Is there going to be something new posted, article, survey, general topic?
I’m going to be watching a lot of programs I recorded over the week on my DVR, that is if this damn Mets/Braves game ever decides to end! Will be checking periodically to see if anything new’s posted.

Writing a post write now, promise, so, official SNT coming in a bit. By 9.
I’m so glad I started reading the comments here – I’ve learned so much about sandwiches and wii. I thought this site was basically abandoned until I found out about this.
You all sure love your wiis. Can you kill tangos on a wii?
