The Mountain Goats - Pseudothyrum Song (by soerenihnenfeld)
Everyone knows those anti-Obama pictures where he has a joker face and it says under is socalist….this really PISSED ME OFF>:{ not only because they used my beloved Joker as a cheap political add but because they impiled Joker is a socialist which is dead wrong. As we all learned when Joker punched out Red Skull (a Nazi from Marvel during a crossover) Joker is all American so a capitalist. He also has never shown any affilation with Socialism. Even during his political career as a diplomat and a mayor cannadate. Call him a terrorist fine he is but Republicans clearly don’t read comics or they would know the Joker doesn’t beleive in sharing he believe in taking…lives mostly.
Thanks to Grant Morrison my favorite villian villian has been reduced to mere shadow of his former self. Grant who had wrote the Graphic Novel Arkham Asylum the most serius house on the earth which is imo his only good work had taken over writing the Batman comic and made it a steaming pile of poo. acording to him Joker should be buff and wear a scrubs instead of the classic purple suit. then Grant decided Joker should kill his creepy little henchman from the Killing Joke Solomon on his wedding day, along with trying to kill Harley Quinn for the 100th time but according to Grant it’s enough to make Harley leave him for good…=[. Now single and shirtless (female fanservice?) the Joker goes of to kill the worst super villian group ever (created by Grant) only now the Joker is humorless and kills the one or two guys in unfunny ways…I think I forgot the fact that Joker slit his own tongue in half because thats what Joker always does 0.o. But the part I found most annoying was that Grant tried to make Joker like the Dark Knight Joker. now to non-comicbook fans thats fine but the Joker is diffrent in the comics and jumping on the movie bandwagon is just uncreative…(If they want to make a comic based of Nolan’s films I’d read it but not in the current cannon)The entire arch ends with the title (Batman Rip) not even coming true..(it sorta did in Final Crisis but he got better).
Since this awful story the Joker has barely been seen in any of the titles besides the 80 page gaint….Thank Grant no one wants to fix your mess so they will prolly just ignore it and give you your own crappy title that isn’t cannon…oh wait they did =)
Another reason fps games aren’t creative it how often they reuse set pieces…we get it killing in slow motion is fun but not every other level this isn’t a Snyder film!! Also the story and characters with the exception of Republic Commando and cod Big Red 1 I have not cared about a single character in an fps game they all die so fast with no characterzation it gives me no reason to want to stop the bad guys who are almost always poor country’s the “good guys” invade which is never really explained. Then there is the weapons I’m sorry but the more realistic a gun the more borring it is to me, and when they do put something cool in Balistic knife or Crossbow they make them only 2 shots…I mean come on crossbow > Sniper rifle everytime but no we only get two shots. Lastly these games make it so fun interesting games that have plot get over looked dooming their chance for more sequels while CoD and Halo get one every half a year.
After playing though the latest Call of Duty game I decided that I am done playing fps for awhile. This brand of games used to be entertaining and fun for me but of late it seems I’ve been playing the same game over and other. For example Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2 not only had the same enemy but they had the same exact plot…frankly I’m tried of killing Russians. to be countinued.
the Minotaur swung it’s giant club but it couldn’t smash my love for you,
The Bull charged at me but my feelings didn’t waver
The Knights Sword crashed down but my Hope stood strong
The Horse stomped its hooves and my valor held to
The phoenix swooped down but could not carry my heart away
the Goliath smashed all but the wall I keep up to protect you.
the Electric Eel Shocked the life from my body but I hung on
the Lizard climbed the walls of my soul but could not enter with its poison
the Tortoise shell was not as strong as my dreams
the Sandworm couldn’t dig though my chest and eat out all that made me whole
the Tiger feared the fire that my courage lit
the Sea Monster I led to its doom because I could not be tamed as easily as it
the Dragon could not keep me from flying
the Lion could not destroy the house I built for us inside
the Sentinel could not keep me from my goal
and the Sorcerer’s spells failed to stop me
with each defeat of these colossi my body was filled with darkness but I fought on for you

I love this song and game, it is touching and sad yet hopeful at the same time kinda like the second ending of the game but not the 3rd or 4th those two are just plain depressing. This song helps me fall asleep
Ratcatcher
Otis Flannegan aka the Ratcather is one of Batman’s foes who used his friendship with the rats to commit crimes. He wears a gas mask and cover alls, a rather lame villian who was killed to introduce the OMAC’s in Infinite Crisis. Now I fell in love with his character during the start of No Man’s Land. Cluemaster, Firefly, a few others and Ratcather escaped Blackgate and went to the mall(Cause villians are just like teenagers really). It was one of the funniest stories I ever read with the villians eating Ice Cream instead of battling the Spoiler and Huntress, too the annoyance of clue master.
I believer Ratcatcher needs a revamp because after watching Wilbur controling an army of rats could be a very scary gimick. Actually Wilbur was one of those movies I though Batman would have made a better ending too.
Now for revamp….1st just call him Otis Flannegan it is actually a good name compared to some comic book villian birth names.
2nd get rid of the costume give him a suit.
3rd have a reason for the Rats as a child his family beat him and he slowly turned to the rats in the crawl space for confort.
4th make him insane have him talk to the rats, go murder rage when bat hurts one.
and 5th have him be a revenge killer and a one time foe ver using him would be silly.
Ratcatcher has the ability to be a scary foe if done in how Wilbur would have turned out if he had sided with Big Ben
