Opening soon in College Park, The Board and The Brew.  A boardgame themed bar.

One of these days I need to learn how to play the Game of Thrones (Battles of Westeros) board game that I bought earlier this year.  After two hours of assembling pieces and thirty minutes of reading the rules, I was done.

Constantine! Any fellow Hellblazer fans on here?  It cant be any worse than the Keanu adaptation.

Gotham! I have not seen it but my friend who loves comics is into it, and I will start it soon.

Walking Dead! Killing it like always.

What other comic book TV series am I missing?  Flash? Arrow?  Agents of Shield?

Those were fun!

Batman: Court of Owls/Wytches writer Scott Snyder is doing a signing at Third Eye Comics close to my birthday in January! I need to find a promotional poster for one of those to bring to get signed along with my copy of Court of Owls and Wytches #1.

Holy shit. I have to go to this! I loved Court Of Owls. Didn't he also do the Death Of The Family arc?

Yes! Go! (he did that story arc as well)

I live 15 minutes from the store so I will definitely be there!

That's so sick. I need to get back into the New 52. The ending of DOTF just left a bad taste in my mouth. Especially leading into Requiem like WTF. Such a waste. I didn't realize that Harley got her own book as well. SHEESH.

I haven't read the Harley series yet, but my friend collects them and loves it.  One of these days I will borrow them and check the series out.

I'm a Joker mark, so naturally I love her. I read a few of the "Sirens" series and some of the old "Harley Quinn" books. Those are funny because Joker is like a greaser...shitty...weird looking ex boyfriend type. Needless to say I didn't read many. I liked her in and out of the Batman stuff though.

WE BOTH LIKE WRESTLING AND BATMAN. SWEET.

I do dig Batman, but am probably way less of a fan than you are DFA.

My Batman fandom:
Court of Owls (so far, will read more of the new 52 books later)
Batman the Animated Series
The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
Batman movies with Keaton
Batman comic arc with Bane and Azrael

I still have not seen the third Nolan Batman movie (one of these days)... But that is not against Batman or the film reboots... I dont watch many superhero movies (too many horror and sci-fi movies to watch).  I have yet to see Avengers or Captain America 2 or Thor 2 or Iron man 2 or 3, or any of the new Spiderman movies or Guardians of the Galaxy or the newest X Men movie (or X3) and probably more that I missed.

The comics I liked when I was younger were stuff like X Men, Vertigo books, Image books.

That Bane arc with Azrael is Knightfall. If you're looking to get into a good one, Hush is like.... probably my favorite Batman book outside of Killing Joke and Dark Knight Returns. Dark Knight Returns was the first Batman book I had as a kid.

If you're into exploring more of course. My bud and I are into all of it. The animated movies, the series [duh] even the newer series The Batman. Any Batman is good Batman. Unless it sucks. Like Batman: The Brave & The Bold I think? That's straight up made for little kids.

I'm surprised you didn't see Dark Knight Rises since that Knightfall arc is what that movie is loosely based on. Plus Bane is badass in the movie. I like TDK better, but Rises is still amazing.

As for the Marvel movies I haven't seen any of the sequels outside of the Iron Man ones. Guardians was probably the best movie of the summer. Super fun, action packed, hilarious and not too long, or too short. As for Spiderman I haven't cared about that since Raimi's Spider Man 2. I have also not seen any of the other Marvel sequels... which is weird because I enjoyed all the first parts...

My friend actually bought Hush a few months back and I plan on borrowing it one of these days...

I dont know why I havent watched the last Batman movie... One day!

Also, I need to pick up a TPB of Knightfall and relive some of my childhood...

The Constantine premier was awesome!

Watch it if you are a fan of the comics (the series is a lot closer to the comics than the Keanu movie was), or good TV in general.
