This is the second reference to Sandman that I'm aware of in Kevin Smith's DCU work, Morpheus both appears and is important to the plot of Green Arrow: Hollow.

And, yeah, great City to start molesting and murdering kids in Funland. Especially considering Batman's overprotective stance towards children.

NOT THAT GUY O-O

Please tell me he catches her.

Please tell me he catches her.

I really need to know this. Lie if you have to.

Fuck, of all people they had to bring over from that series, why Funland? John Dee may have been high octane nightmare fuel, but he had the freaking ruby to make it work, which, for me, mitigated things. Funland was the kind of nightmare fuel you actually think could happen, which just makes him all the scarier.

Why is it that no-one can ever handle a concept as well as Gaiman once Gaiman has left it?

Also, why would anyone want to mess with Nate Kreskin/Fun Land again? I was perfectly happy with the idea of him stuck in a dreaming coma until Morpheus died, and then give himself up to the authorities peacefully.

The girl appears to have mixed reactions on falling to her death.

I instantly dislike the idea of Funland being in Gotham. He is a magnificently, sink-crawlingly appalling bit of nightmare fuel, precisely because he wouldn't be anywhere in the DCU where a hero would find him. He'd be somewhere out in the "real" world (so to speak)... being a REAL nightmare.

OpenID login is not liking me today.

Still hate Walt Flannigan's art, no matter who they get to redraw ink him.

Smith's interpetation of Batman's been pretty good so far--espicially in Green Arrow--but part of me can't see him using the word "turd." I can see him say "shit" easier then "turd."

Hrmph. Batman calling someone a turd. Even if it's in his own internal monologue.

No, Kevin Smith. I know Gotham is most likely in New Jersey, and that's your place and all, but no.

*Goes off to read Sandman again so I can remember the guy*

Wow.

Well, at least this comic is so bad in terms of writing, characterization and art it's lulzworthy. But stiiiiill, even for the laughs, not worth it to buy.

I like this from the notion of seeing Bats beat the snot out of the bastard. That's all.
