Sabotage is a 1936 film by master director Alfred Hitchcock. This movie, made in Britain four years before Hitch went to Hollywood, is quite eerie when watched from a modern perspective, thanks to its ending which sort of prophesied real life events seventy years later. This film is a part of Force Entertainment’s Hitchcock Collection [...]

Here’s another Joker story that was referenced in Gaiman and Kubert’s ‘Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader’. I do have three of the four Joker stories that were referenced in that one panel by Kubert, although I’m not sure if I will post Gaggy’s moment of glory. I must say that Kubert must have just [...]
I haven’t made many posts for the last few days/weeks. I think that the reason has been that I’ve either been too busy or I couldn’t be bothered posting stuff. I have to somehow find some inspiration to do something slightly creative with this blog.
I have set up an index of comic stories. If anyone wants to read a comic story that I have posted on this blog, they now don’t have to search all over the place to find them. You can either click on the link at the side of the blog, or just click here.

It’s been a little while since I posted. I have been very busy and I really haven’t had much to blog about. Anyway here is an interesting story featuring the Clown Prince of Crime. This story was briefly referenced in the recent issue of Batman, “Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader?”
Audi have posted this High Resolution picture of the forthcoming R15 on its website. Looks very aggressive and will probably give the Peugeot’s a good run for their money. Of course we won’t know until Sebring next month.
The Man Who Wrote The Joker’s Jokes

I am putting a brief hiatus on my posting of Joker stories. Whilst the Joker is undoubtedly my favourite of all comic book characters, I feel that I must move onto other things. I will still try to post at least one Joker story a week, and to do more features on the Clown Prince [...]
Good Timing!

I previously mentioned that the bushfires had brought out the best and worst of people. This can be seen by the actions of Fosters this week. They donated $750,000 to the bushfire relief appeal but also sacked 115 people, including three volunteer fire-fighters who were out fighting the fires. The people were sacked just because [...]
The arsehole… sorry… arsonist who lit the Gippsland fire was arrested on Friday. This fire killed 21 people and destroyed hundreds of houses and at various times threatened Melbourne’s main power, gas and water services. Of course it was not bad enough that this person caused this fire, as police also found child pornography in [...]
Batman: Lovers and Madmen

I have just started reading Batman: Lovers and Madmen by Michael Green and Denys Cowan. In the forward to the book Brad Meltzer states that this is a great book and a great Joker story and that Green understands the Joker character extremely well. I may not be a best selling author like Meltzer, but [...]
