In a Batman mood.

I found myself in a huge mood to watch a bunch of Batman stuff. A few weeks ago, some friends on discord introduced me to what we called the "DC Animated Series Costco Sampler Platter." They showed me episodes of Batman TAS, Justice League, JLU, and Batman Beyond. I liked Batman Beyond the most. It's got such a cool style to it and it's a very different kind of Batman story compared to what I'm used to seeing. After that, I ended up watching Marcus Cosmonaut's Ultimate Batman movie review. A bunch of those movies are ones I haven't seen. I love the Dark Knight trilogy and The Batman 2022 but I hadn't seen Keaton's Batman, Forever, or any of the Adam West stuff. 

I watched Batman 89 and Mask of the Phantasm on discord a few weeks ago, as well as 66 and Forever last weekend. Those movies are kind of a fever dream. They're such wild scenarios for Batman to be in compared to the dark and gritty stuff I know. 89 is sort of closer to what I know but it's still pretty silly. 

I bought a bunch of the Batman movies on eBay so I'm gonna end up going through a lot of them pretty soon. I've never seen the infamous Batman and Robin or any other animated movies, so I'm pretty excited. I also intend to rewatch the Dark Knight trilogy and Battinson. 

The list of movies I plan to check out are:
Batman & Robin
Gotham by Gaslight
Under the Red Hood
Long Halloween
Assault on Arkham
TDK Trilogy
The Batmam

Batman is easily my favorite superhero. As a character, he's so malleable. He can fit in any kind of story and they're always entertaining.

This is for me.

If you managed to find this, I imagine you know me from discord, social media, or something. Welcome! I guess I'm gonna start blogging. I have no intention of this ever really reaching an audience or anything. I'm not nearly important enough to warrant that. After the last few years, I've found social media very frustrating to simply be on daily. Twitter is an utter shitshow, Reddit is too specific and not very personal, and every time I open bluesky, my day gets actively worse. I've more or less abandoned those accounts. I still have them and I don't have any intention of deleting them, but I have no desire to be fed the constant noise of the world on a daily basis.  That said, I do feel like having some sort of outlet on random thoughts throughout the day. Maybe that's lingering addiction to social media but I would like a place to just yap, even if it's to the void. I don't want to use social media but I also don't want to be completely isolated. ...

Pokemon bums me out

So off the bat I don't wanna be overtly negative but I'm going to be with how I'm feeling about what used to be one of my favorite franchises. Clickbait ass title aside, I actually do think Wind/Waves look pretty good. They actually are increasing the production of the new games which has been sorely needed. I won't go on my standard pokemon game rant as I've done so with probably everyone who would be reading this blog. The new one actually looks like a lived in world which is what I wanted. Unfortunately, I feel like I don't want Pokemon anymore.  Last week I brought my DS with me to Atlanta and restarted Pokemon Platinum. I replay that game every few years. It's impossible for me to look at that game without rose-tinted glasses, as I'm sure that's the case for everyone with their first pokemon game. I'm glad I did that though because it gave me a good perspective for how I feel about the series now, even in a healthier state. I will always lov...

Resident Evil Requiem

Update: Blogger had a weird glitch and had to republish. As of 3/3/2026:  Last night I finished off RE9. I really really liked this one. When I think back on all the modern RE games (since 7), I feel like while they've all been consistently good, some just hit harder than others. I like 7 and 8 but looking back, they just don't stand out in my mind compared to all of the remakes, even 3 (granted I have personal reasons for really enjoying that one but still). RE9 definitely left an impression.  Mechanically, this is half a sequel to RE4R and half a sequel to RE7/8. At first I thought swapping between Grace and Leon would be rather jarring, going from fast action man to slow paced horror but no. The strong juxtaposition between the two works in the game's favor, both from a gameplay standpoint and a thematic direction. The story of this game is honestly far more introspective than I expected, especially for Leon. It's nothing groundbreaking but seeing Leon reflect on wha...
