Something Old, Nothing New (Free subscription) | 15/10/2008
A lot of '60s Batman talk going around today, what with Batman's debate with Penguin going viral and, sadly, the death of Neal Hefti.

When Jen isn't busy handicapping the best show on TV with me, her mild-mannered alter ego is that of post.com...

A Severed Car Grille? It's Super Bowl Ad Time (STUART ELLIOTT, 2/04/08, NY Times) Anheuser-Busch parodied another 1970s film, “Rocky,” with a Clydesdale as Sylvester Stallone and a Dalmatian in the Burgess Meredith role.
