Continuation of Chris Pie's Unstoppalounge.
god dammit that one got meHe was a good little steward, keeping the role warm between the Cold War and 9/11.

It is indeed. I just read the 80th anniversary issue this evening.
For context, this is the last page of Green Lantern/Green Arrow content Denny left us with:
A perfect bookend to his original Green Lantern/Green Arrow debut, imo, where Hal helps Ollie in the same way Ollie once helped him - to get some much needed perspective.
Yes, but that’s not the only reason. I am master of many species outside of the more well known 15 sub species of jackals.That's only because you are the master of the Ice Jackals.
I wonder how popular Batman would be today if he was never taken in this direction. I know the Adam West show did very well but I don’t know if films in that style would have reached the same heights.Denny O’Neil’s very basic premise of “How about we try doing these characters with a little less camp?” Pretty much revolutionised the industry.
The whole franchise would probably be a lot more niche.I wonder how popular Batman would be today if he was never taken in this direction. I know the Adam West show did very well but I don’t know if films in that style would have reached the same heights.
I mustve missed something.

The level of penetration the West show had was crazy in the culture.
Also crazy, if memory serves, the Bat books were circling cancelation before West and then again after and that's why Denny/Adams were given the green light to go a bit deeper.
That run was before my time but when I think of Batman, I think of Denny's version which carried over for a very, very long time.
The closest comparison I can think of elsewhere is Peter David with the Hulk. Similar deal in that the tv adaptation was such an influence on the culture that the aftermath of it kind of left a vacuum of power that the respective writers would eventually fill to revitalise.
Finally getting out of Manhattan.
Stayed late cuz my relief is alone here until a porter comes and there was this strange guy circling the front doors for some reason. He... Didn't look right.
Norma, my relief would have nobody else and frankly in NYC right now calling police is a crap shoot at best.
These last five months... If I wasn't already doing the PatStew thing all this nonsense would be turning what's left of my hair white.
Hey, PatStew is a very distinguished looking man. Rock it.
I've started to notice my hair thinning around my hairline. So far, screaming at it and calling it a pile of **** hasn't prompted my hair to grow back.
Speaking of Dennis ‘O Neil, I highly suggest everyone watch this video tribute to his work.It is indeed. I just read the 80th anniversary issue this evening.
