In issue 36 of Just a Couple of G's we are a little conflicted in regards to the fine line between comic pulp and comic poop... We talk about when a comic book can be a comic book with the crackling energy, villains speaking in third person and horrible puns on covers while maintaining or avoiding some type of grounded in reality story. We discuss the triumphant return of Spider-sense and classic Monsters in comics. We also review the latest comics off Tate's shelf.

Batman and The Joker : Through the Years

Every hero needs a villain, and while loads of evildoers have it out for Batman, none make the Dark Knight tick like The Joker. The two characters have been duking it out for over 70 years (The Joker first appeared in 1940’s Batman #1), and just as their comic book looks have changed dramatically over the years, so have their onscreen counterparts. Which of these Batman/Joker combos is your fave?

BATMAN (ORIGINAL SERIES) - (Adam West and Cesar Romero) -- Blam! Zap! Pow! Though the campy 1960’s Batman TV series only enjoyed a two and a half season run, it secured Adam West and Cesar Romero permanent spots on Bat-Mount Rushmore. West’s deadpan, melodramatic readings are the stuff of legend, but without Romero’s kooky, well-coiffed Joker (he refused to shave his moustache for the show, so they just painted it white) matching him step for step, it would have been a Bat-tastrophe.

THE ADVENTURES OF BATMAN (Olan Soule and Larry Storch) -- To kids growing up in the 70s and 80s, Batman was primarily an animated hero. And whether you were watching him beat up criminals in The Adventures of Batman or holding down the Hall of Justice on the Super Friends, you were listening to the sweet pipes of voice actor Olan Soule. While The Joker only cropped up from time to time (Batman has lots of enemies, you know), he was most often played by legendary cartoon character actor Larry Storch.

BATMAN (1989) - (Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson) -- Best known for playing likable, mischievous goofballs, Michael Keaton seemed an odd fit for the Caped Crusader in this Tim Burton-directed blockbuster. He handled the part well enough, though it’s easy to look good when you’re sharing the screen with Jack Nicholson. Arched eyebrows, maniacal laugh, creepy grin -- Nicholson made the character his own, though he’d later make headlines for being grumpy about Heath Ledger getting cast in the role in The Dark Knight.

BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES (Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill) -- Bat-aficionados believe in two truths: Kevin Conroy is Batman, and Mark Hamill is The Joker. And frankly, it’s tough to argue with them. The four-time Emmy winning series is an animated legend, and not just for its amazing scripts and spot-on portrayal of Batman. Using two different voices for Batman and Bruce Wayne, Conroy embodied the role and has played it longer than any other actor. As for Hamill, let’s just say his deranged take on The Joker almost made everyone forget that he’s also Luke Skywalker. Almost

THE DARK KNIGHT ( Christian Bale and Heath Ledger) -- Why so serious? Because Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker in what many consider the greatest superhero movie of all time is seriously great. Nabbing the actor a posthumous Oscar, Ledger’s homicidal, chaotic mess of a criminal makes other Jokers look positively pleasant. And while Bale’s Batman mostly just growls and fights, he’s still loads better than Val Kilmer (or George Clooney).

BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM (Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill) -- When fans learned that Conroy and Hamill would reprise their roles in a cool new Batman video game, they were excited. When they played the final game, they were ecstatic. The best comic book video game ever is pure Bat-goodness through and through thanks in large part to the effortless banter between the two.

BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY (Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill) -- First, the good news: both Conroy and Hamill are back in the absurdly anticipated Batman: Arkham City, which breaks down the walls of the first game and lets players zip around Gotham as they try to stop an assortment of escaped ne’er do wells. Now, the bad news: it’s reportedly Hamill’s final performance as The Joker. Say it ain’t so!

Walking Dead Novel Trilogy In The Works

Click on the Image to Enlarge

Between comics, television, and webisodes, The Walking Dead is becoming a vastly growing well loved franchise. Soon, the series will expand to the world of novels. A three book series is currently in the works. The first in this trilogy of Walking Dead novels will be The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor. The 320-page novel will tell the story of how The Governor comes to be such a ruthless figure. The first book will be available October 11th. It’s written by series scribe Robert Kirkman.

Here’s the official synopsis –

"In The Walking Dead universe, there is no greater villain than The Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense of justice: whether it’s forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople’s amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted “Villain of the Year” by Wizard Magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial arc in the history of The Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how The Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.”

Netflix Drops Plans For Qwikster

Well that didn’t take long. Before it could even get off the ground, Netflix has already dropped their planned separate DVD service Qwikster. Now both DVD and instant streaming will remain under one roof at Netflix.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings announced the change Monday via Netflix’s blog, stating, “It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs. This means no change: one website, one account, one password… in other words, no Qwikster.”

It was also announced that the company is “done with price changes” after its decision to raise prices in July. While understandable, many customers were very much outraged by the price increase.

No mention of if they still plan to move forward adding video games to the Netflix library.
