From The New Batman Adventures . This is the first time I've seen this. I watched and loved Batman: The Animated Series when I was a kid, but never got around to watching The New Batman Adventures . I've seen some episodes since then and they're pretty excellent, especially the one where Batgirl dies and Gordon goes after Batman for it. h/t Daily DCU .

(via Jokerology ) Apparently, this is from a comic called Penguin: Pain and Prejudice , and that's all I can say about it because what in the actual fuck?

This was today's comic, thought it might be of interest: (via Penny Arcade ) Thoughts? I know Sanderson is a polarizing figure with some people loving his work and others thinking he's a hack, but how accurate do you think this comic is? Now, I've never read one of his books - I have a used copy of Mistborn that's sitting in my reading queue, but I haven't gotten to it yet - so I can't voice an opinion. I do think his magic systems are interesting, though, so that's something. Edit: On the other hand, someone on their forums pointed out that this might be more of a criticism of Sanderson's more rabid, die hard fans than Sanderson himself. Then again, Tycho is pretty explicit about not liking Sanderson in the first panel, so who knows.
