TieDyeDude I heard about this! I re-watched The Batman this weekend, and the first episode of The Penguin. It was my first rewatch, and I kinda forgot just how good it is! The Penguin had a good start, too. 5d
AnnCrystal 👏 rewatching Batman is always fun...I have to try and find the main movies on DVD. Been forever since I have rewatched these classics! 📚🎬😎👍💫. 5d

WTF, how am I just now hearing about this book?! @anncrystal Have you been holding out on me?! John Jackson Miller is penning a new prose novel set immediately after the events of the 1989 Batman movie. And it's out next month!?!?

While researching the different animated Batman versions and finding out if any are available locally (on DVD), I discover that David Giuntoli (who has played Batman in a couple of the animated versions) and actress Bitsie Tulloch are married!

These two played the roles of Nick Burkhardt and Juliette Silverton on the TV show Grimm. One of my favorite shows (and these two were my favorite couple on that show). 👇

AnnCrystal I had been bummed when the show broke up Nick and Juliette...magical that these two found love in real life!

bthegood I also loved Grimm - it was a fun series! Did not know they were married 💕 3mo
AnnCrystal @bthegood 👏😊👍💝. True, it was a fun one. If I have my facts correct, they were married the year the show ended, and have a little girl (born in 2019). 💝💖. 3mo

TieDyeDude I don't remember when I stopped watching Grimm or why, because I have fond memories of the show. I haven't seen Soul of the Dragon, but I didn't realize he was the voice in The Doom That Came. Cool! 3mo
AnnCrystal @TieDyeDude hope to watch those one day, I can imagine his voice as Batman.

I too had given up on Grimm on the end parts of the 4th and all of the 5th seasons, then came back to it on the sixth. Since, I've gave in and watched all the episodes (a few hundred or so times 😂). A true addiction.

PaperbackPirate Another Grimm fan here, and never knew they were married! How fun! 3mo
AnnCrystal @PaperbackPirate 👏🎬💝. It was definitely a fun discovery. Like a fairy-tale happily ever after 😉👍 (for Bitsie and David and us fans). 3mo

For the first time I couldn't select Batman! Wouldn't watch the third film in the trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. Skipped, Batman and Superman because I could never understand Superman's problem with Batman 😂. And while I did catch the newest Batman film, it depressed me for like a week or two...

dabbe What was wrong with the 3rd installment? Was that the one with Anne Hathaway as Catwoman? And, you kicked my sorry 🫏! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🤩🤩🤩 3mo
AnnCrystal 🎬💝 @dabbe actually, in this case, it had nothing to do with the movie. I couldn't watch because of what happened on July 20th.

“On July 20, 2012, a mass shooting occurred inside a Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, United States, during a midnight screening of the film The Dark Knight Rises. Dressed in tactical clothing, 24-year-old °°°°° °°°°° °°°°°° set off tear gas grenades and shot into the audience with multiple firearms.“ -WWW

For some reason, I would never watch an animated version of Batman. Strange, I love animation. Yet Batman had to be real.

How I came to watch, Son of Batman is mostly accidental & a bit wacky...long story short, I LOVED this animated flick.

I've read “about“ Bruce Wayne's son, Damian yet never found (in person) a book or movie with him. This is also my first glimpse of Nightwing

A new favorite alongside Batman Begins 👇.

AnnCrystal P.S. found talk about a possible new “peopled“ movie with Bruce Wayne/Batman and his son Damian (2028-29 maybe).

TieDyeDude So this was the first in a loose trilogy of animated films, followed by Batman vs. Robin in 2015 and Batman: Bad Blood in 2016. I really liked this series; I've always thought that DC does a great job with their animated movies. Also, it is confirmed that Damian will be part of the new “connected universe“ of DC movies coming out over the next 5-10 years. (edited) 3mo
AnnCrystal Epic @TieDyeDude 👏🥳👍 that's great. Thanks 😊👍. 3mo
AnnCrystal @TieDyeDude it appears that I have some catching up to do 🦇😎👍. 3mo

dabbe Okay, now you have to tell me which BATMAN did you prefer from the 90s? Thanks for playing and sharing! 🤩🤩🤩 4mo
AnnCrystal 🤔 oh no, you've asked the impossible 😂.

Ok, Let me try.

If I select favorite by actor, George Clooney. Yet, well I don't normally fan the villains, I did like Jim Carrey as the Riddler. Yet, CatWoman trying to destroy Batman while dating him as Bruce Wayne was grand...neither of them realizing who the other really is at first (just delicious).

Ok, after consideration, I will go with the Batman who fought Jim Carrey/ Riddler in Batman Forever.

As some of you have learned about me, I am a “little“ obsessed with Batman...😂, I know, more like a little, overly, obsessed with Batman.

And this remains my absolute favorite story about my favorite superhero.

The first “reread“ of a book without a single, pretty illustration 🤔, and I loved just the same as I had the first time reading this book. 👇

AnnCrystal Some of this feels “reported,“ yet it seemed to fit the flow of the story.

An origin story that perfectly wraps the beginnings of Bruce Wayne's character and his making of Batman.

Wish I had kept a book journal when I was younger...read how my younger self felt about some of my gold star reads. I've only devotedly began one since becoming a Litten 😉👍.

This one keeps all of the Gold 🤩 Stars I originally gave. Excellent!

TieDyeDude I'm surprised superhero prose novels aren't more of a thing. When I was younger, I remember reading the novelization of No Man's Land and I really enjoying The Stone King JLA novel. 4mo
AnnCrystal 👏☺️👍.@TieDyeDude I always wondered the same thing. Seems strange when it could be an interesting way to intrigue young readers into reading more complex stories...📚😉👍. 4mo

Found this while going through some paperwork. A doodle I did, Once Upon A Time (I didn't date). Some details were difficult to capture here...apparently boredom struck once I finished with Batman 😂 and I left it unfinished.

Not great work, yet it did make me giggle.

In my culture, good natured comedy is healing-like (Laughter can be a gift in a stressful world). While this is not hilarious, hope some will find this to be giggle worthy 🦇😉💝.

AnnCrystal Have a good weekend Littens ☺️👍. 5mo
