Three Jokers #1

[cyberghostface]

“The world doesn’t need just another Batman-Joker story. One of the reasons I've never done one before is because there are so many amazing ones, so I was only gonna do one if it was different and surprising and looked at the Joker and the meaning of the Joker and his effect on Batman and his family in a new way. We’re not introducing a multiverse of Jokers, we’re not out to change these characters forever, but we are turning over some rocks about these characters and their relationships.” -- Geoff Johns

Mod Post - Off Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

Not much time today, so will be fairly brief.

Last weeks virtual DNC saw Joe Biden formally approved to run for President, with Kamala Harris as his VP.

The virtual RNC is running this week, stating that they will forego their own platform to 100% support the Trump Administration so they will basically use the 2016 platform (which, it has been noted included opposition to same-sex marriage and transgender military personnel, and supported LGBT+ conversion therapy and the rights of businesses to discriminate against same-sex couples.). And some of the speakers seemed to indicate that even if Trump does lose in November, there will be plenty more like minded souls to take his place in future. Make of that what you will.

Bad weather on both sides of the Altantic, so stay safe all!

Schools in Scotland have re-opened for the new school year, and already the rules have changed to make pupils aged over 12 wear masks in communal area's but not in classes, as social distancing rules are already being enforced.

To the delight of those who care, the Last night of the Proms, WILL include "Land of Hope and Glory" and "Jerusalem" (Rare to have a hymn which asks a question which can pretty much instantly be asnwered with the word "No") though only instrumental performances as there will be no singing allowed.

Not watched much new TV this week, though I am do have the first episode of "Lovecraft Country" to watch and the reviews have been impressive.

Someone taught themselves 3D rendering during the lockdown, got a little carried away, and THIS was the result!

I did finish the new Night Vale novel, "The Faceless Old Woman who Secretly Lives In Your Home" which is impressively written even if I'm not sure this is anything like the background I'd pictured for TFOWWSLIYH. It manages to be grander and, at the same time, pettier and cruller than I'd thought it would be. Impressive though.

Next up is "At Childhood's End", the Doctor Who novel where 7th Doctor companion Ace meets the 13th Doctor, all written by Ace herself, Sophie Aldred. So far it's excellent, with some interesting discussion about the Doctor's hypocrisy about weapons... S/He may not carry a gun (apart from the times they have) but 7th certainly didn't object to Ace carrying and using Nitro-9. Also how Ace managed to become a multimillionaire philanthropist. :)

Random question of the week: Most importat advice you'd give your younger self were you able to?

Bruce and Damian have a LONG overdue father son moment, which leads to something terrribly sad.
