How are you feeling today? Are you looking forward to the weekend? How has your March been so far?
(Can you believe that we’re in March already?)
My week has been pretty hectic, but moving house is pretty hectic – I am genuinely looking forward to be in a new space soon though, it is really exciting!
It’s that time of week again! Time to share the new releases I picked up from this week’s DC Comics releases. There is only one single issue comic this week, but some other fun stuff came out that I also picked up!
So let’s jump right in!
Batman #145
Batman. Issue #145. Cover A.
Now the Joker has finished telling Bruce his “origin” story it’s time to get back to what Failsafe is up to! And he’s reaching out to the Bat-Family!? How will Bruce be able to defeat the “perfect Batman” that he himself created? Well, he has to get out of prison first!
Batman Beyond: The Animated Series Classics Compendium
Batman Beyond: The Animated Series Classics Compendium.
I have been looking forward to the release of this book since it was announced. Terry McGinnis is in my Top 3 Batman characters and I’m really excited to be able to read the companion comics to the animated series!
Fun fact – this is the first time that some of these comics have ever been collected together. My only gripe is that I wish it was hardback!
Wayne Family Adventures: Volume 3
Wayne Family Adventures: Volume 3.
This is the start of Season 2 if you follow this series on the Webtoon app. This is also where the art style changed noticeably.
I love this series – mostly because it is a nice break from the more serious comic runs of DC Comics proper. I enjoy seeing the Bat Family in these slice of life situations, even if they do act a little but out of character sometimes.
Red Hood: Outlaws. Volume 1.
Red Hood: Outlaws. Volume 1.
I will be honest, I didn’t care for this series when I first read it, but I am willing to give it another go now that I can read it through, instead of an episode a week.
I won’t lie and say I’m not looking forward to the Jason solo parts though.
If you haven’t come across this before, and you’re not a fan of Jason and Artemis as a couple, then I’d skip this one.
And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

My weekend was pretty chill, I went on a visit to a local Museum, which will be featured on my Photography Blog pretty soon!
I also got a new addition to my figure collection over the weekend, so that will be the subject of today’s post!
A little bit of backstory: I’m trying to piece together all of the Red Hood/Jason Todd figures from McFarlane Toys, so I was really excited when I came across one of the figures that I needed on Mercari.
New 52: Red Hood Unmasked (Gold Label) by McFarlane Toys
This figure was shipped to me inside the box, so I’ll start by sharing the photos of him inside the box.
Front ViewBack View
Below are the specs on this figure, from the McFarlane Toys website.
Release Date: 2021 Scale: 7″ Brand: DC Multiverse
Designed with Ultra Articulation with up to 22 moving parts for full range of posing and play
Red Hood is featured unmasked and is based on his look in the New 52 Comics
Red Hood includes the All-Blades, a crowbar, and a base
Included collectable art card with Red Hood figure photography on the front, and character biography on the back
I think my favourite detail about this figure is that he comes with the All-Blades, one of his primary weapons in his Red Hood and the Outlaws New 52 comic run.
Of course, I took him out of hos box to display him on the shelf with the rest of my collection.
Red Hood Unmasked – Out of Box
I displayed him holding the flaming All-Blade.
This figure suffers from the same issue that is my major complaint about McFarlane figures, and that is that he is only attached to the base by a single peg. The figure has a hole in each heel for the display, but the base on has one peg. This makes the figure unstable as he is on the top-heavy side.
With that being said, I am happy to have another figure that is Red Hood without the helmet.
My last photo is just going to be a close up on his face and chest.
Red Hood Unmasked: Detail View
I really like how bold the Red Hood symbol is against the black of his uniform.
Overall, I am happy to have this in my collection, he’s definitely one of my favourite pieces.
Would anyone be interested in seeing all of my Red Hood collection together? I have something coming in that I am really excited about – I can’t wait to share it with all of you!
And that is it for today’s post! I hope that you enjoyed it!

How are you all doing today? I hope that the week has been treating you well so far!
I’m having a decent week so far! I traveled to Katsucon today, which has left me feeling pretty tired, but that’s OK! I’m looking forward to some nerdy fun!
Speaking of nerdy fun, I picked up my new comics from DC yesterday, and it’s time for me to share what I picked up!
Let’s get right into it, shall we?
Batman #143
Batman. Issue #143. Cover A.
Part 2 of Joker: Year One. I’m still pretty confused by this story so far, it feels a bit disjointed, though I suppose that makes sense for the Joker.
It is interesting seeing the Joker go through the same training as Bruce, with a very different outcome!
Batman & Robin #6
Batman & Robin. Issue #6. Cover A.
I’m really enjoying this series, mostly because it is showing Damian as a normal kid, or at least in normal kid situations. I really feel for him being bullied just because he is different.
I’m also glad to see some cute Father/Son moments between him and Bruce.
Red Hood: The Hill #1.
Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #1. Cover A.
I’m excited to see Jason get his own mini-series, especially as this picks up at the end of his RHATO Rebirth run.
I’m really hoping for no romantic storyline for him, and just some good (or any) character development.
Red Hood: The Hill #1.
Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Tirso Cons.
Of course, I will be collecting all of the variant covers for this series.
Justice League: Death Metal
Justice League: Death Metal.
The latest addition to my graphic novel library! I will admit that I picked this up for Dick Grayson with his ponytail, but I am excited to read it!
And that is it for this week’s comic roundup! Did you see anything that you’re reading, or you’d be interested in reading! Let me know if you have any suggestions, I’m always open to reading new things!
I hope that you enjoyed this post!

How are you doing today? I hope that the week has been treating you well so far. Are you looking forward to the weekend?
My week has been going pretty well so far. I am still getting a new pet settled in at my home, which has been an adventure.
As it is Wednesday, it’s time to round up the comic books that I picked up on release day for DC Comics. This week is another small haul, but I am really excited about it!
Let’s jump right into it, shall we?
Batman #142
Batman. Issue #142. Cover A.
Joker: Year One is here. Will we finally learn the true origin of the Clown Prince of Crime? Can we trust one of the most unreliable narrators of all time?
Red Hood: The Hill #0
Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #0. Cover A.
To prepare for Jason Todd’s new mini-series (issue #1 is releasing next week), DC released the last 2 issues of the Red Hood Rebirth run to provide the setup for Red Hood’s next adventure.
As Red Hood is my favourite comic book character, I am excited to read something new for him. I will keep my fingers crossed that this next chapter treats the character well, and we can actually see something new for him.
Batman: Justice Buster #2.
Batman: Justice Buster. Volume 2.
I am usually hesitant when it comes to Manga based upon characters from western comics, so I did not expect to enjoy the first volume of this as much as I did.
The release of this surprised me, I hadn’t been looking for it, but I am really looking forward to reading it, and seeing how this futuristic Batman meets, and deals with Superman.
And that is all for this week’s little comic haul! I hope that you enjoyed. Did you see anything that you’re going to be reading? As always, I am always open to recommendations of what you think I should be reading!

In today’s post, I am going to be sharing the latest rabbit hole that I have been finding myself going down recently; and it is these adorable 20cm plush dolls!
I originally saw these guys floating around on Tumblr and Twitter, and didn’t really think anything of them – that is, until I joined Mecari and found someone selling two of these dolls of Dick Grayson, or Nightwing, from the Bat-Family. Well, one of these is 20cm and the other is 15cm. They are pictured below.
Dick Grayson: 20cm (#1) and 15cm (#2)
Little did I know that these two would be my White Rabbit, and would be the start of my inevitable descent down the rabbit hole. Of course, as soon as I realized that there was a doll of Dick, there was most likely going to be a doll of Jason Todd.
As such, my quest began.
As a quick aside, all of these dolls arrived without clothes. All of the outfits came from Amazon.
These two dolls were honestly the only ones I could find for the longest time. It seemed as though every time a doll of Jason become available, it was snatched up just as quickly. So, one day I was window shopping Mercari, and I came across a doll that I thought looked similar enough to Jason. So I picked him up, as it seemed to me at the time that I was not going to be able to find an actual doll of Jason Todd.
Below is the doll I picked up – the 3rd in my collection.
Unknown (20cm): Stand in for Jason Todd
I do not know who this is actually supposed to be a plush doll of, as his description was very vague, and he doesn’t have any kind of identifying marks (I will talk more about this in a little bit.)
Shortly after finding the doll pictured above, I found my (first) plush doll of Jason Todd. I think I found him within a week, maybe a little more. Not only did I find Jason, I also found my last plush doll of Dick Grayson. They are both pictured below:
Jason Todd #1 (20cm)Dick Grayson #3 (20cm)
I love how each of the dolls have a slightly different expression, and their faces are done in slightly different styles. The Dick Grayson doll pictured above is the only doll I have that has a skeleton.
What is a plush doll skeleton?
A skeleton is a wire frame inside of the plush doll that allows them to be posed, and makes them a little bit sturdier.
Like an avalanche, it started small and then snowballed. Of course, I had found one Jason Todd, so I found another, and another in quick succession. I found 3 Jason dolls in the space of maybe 4 weeks. All on Mercari. Jason doll #2 is another 20cm doll and Jason #3 is a 15cm doll. They are pictured below:
Jason Todd #2 (20cm)Jason Todd #3 (15cm)
And that brings me to an end of my doll collection… for now.
One of my favourite little detail about some of these dolls is the little identifying marks that some of them have on their chest. I think of them kind of like cutie marks from My Little Pony.
Jason Todd doll with Red Hood symbol on his chest.
You can see an example of these marks in the photo above. I just think they’re a neat little detail. I have seen lots of variety in these while browsing though images. The Bat- Family emblems are my favourite though.
That brings me to the end of this post. I hope that you enjoyed it – though it does bring me to a question – do you have an rabbit holes that you’ve gone down that you just were not expecting? I’d love to hear all about it!

How are you doing today? I hope that the week is treating you well so far.
Today I’m going to be sharing my thoughts on the latest event to occur in DC Comics, which is the Gotham War saga between Batman and Catwoman.
This will hopefully give me the push I need to talk about comics more often, sharing my opinions on storylines and what not.
This post won’t be a review so to speak, and will follow more of a stream of consciousness style as I go through my thoughts and feelings regarding this event. So I am sorry if this comes off disjointed or choppy. I will do my best to keep it coherent.
Please note that I am writing this after the release of Batman #139, which is the issue following the events of Gotham War, setting up the ‘Mind Bomb’ storyline. Any suggestions I make are also based on my opinion and interpretation of Gotham War.
I suppose I will start with my expectations going in. I’ll admit that I was mostly intrigued with this event because of Jason Todd/Red Hood’s involvement, more so than any strife between Batman (who I will be calling Bruce from this point on) and Catwoman (who I will be referring to as Selina). As Jason is my favourite character in DC media, and his inclusion was important enough for him to have his own single issue comics; that was enough to get me invested in the story from the beginning. That was my ‘hook’ to read the storyline, so to speak.
Having said that though, I was definitely interested by the idea of Bruce and Selina facing off, at least from an ideological standpoint. What would happen if they were unable to compromise, or reconcile, the difference in how they think? I went into Gotham War thinking that this is what it was going to be. Bruce and Selina fighting over Gotham, and the nature of crime in the city.
As I read Gotham War, I wish that this was the premise that they had stuck with – two people who care for each other deeply, but have very different world-views, coming to blows and then having to compromise when the conflict threatens everything. It’s a simple premise, but between Selina and Bruce specifically, I think it could have been something really special, with both of them emerging as people changed.
I even like the inclusion of Jason in this premise, he’s definitely the wild-card of the Bat-Family, able to instigate things between the pair, and maybe being the one to help them find the compromise that ends the conflict.
Sadly, that isn’t what we got.
Getting into the actual events of Gotham War, I’ll start with the inclusion of Vandal Savage. I don’t hate Vandal as a character, I just don’t think he was needed as an antagonist here. I understand that he still has role to play in future storylines (as per the ending of Gotham War and the beginning of ‘Mind Bomb’ in Batman #139), but I feel as though that could have been developed separately from Gotham War.
For example, he could have taken control of Selina’s collection of Cat Burglars after the events of Gotham War had concluded. Everything with finding the meteor shards could have happened afterward, including Selina falling into the Lazarus Pit crater with Vandal. I just think that moment would have been more bittersweet if she and Bruce had found common ground in the aftermath of the War, if they were on the same page again.
I think everything I say is going to come back to one major point, there was a lot of potential in a conflict between Batman and Catwoman, but I feel as though the writers of this event lost focus on that conflict to include other things that didn’t need to be there. As far as I am concerned, the Gotham War should have only been about the ideological differences between Bruce and Selina, and how their feelings for each other complicates the matter even further.
I suppose next I will talk about the schism of the Bat-Family.
Again, I feel as though this aspect of the Gotham War had a lot of potential; unlike the core conflict however, I do think that this lived up to its potential a little bit more.
I like that most of the Bat-Family decides to stay neutral, at least in the beginning, as this genuinely strikes me as the action that most of them would take. The exceptions of course being Damian, who is Bruce’s son through and through, and Jason, who can use the situation to antagonise Bruce. The rest of them though, I think they would be able to see things from both sides and would only interject if something serious happened that would tip the scales.
As far as Jason goes, I do think he agrees with Selina for the most part, but I also think that he sides more with her to get Bruce’s goat. I have a whole separate post I want to make in regards to Bruce and Jason’s relationship, and my thoughts on it.
I suppose that brings us to the elephant in the room, and that is the actions that Bruce takes against Jason specifically. Not only does he kidnap Jason, and hold him against his will, he chemically changes his body, so that any time Jason experiences heightened adrenaline, his body will respond with a fear response. Bruce’s reasoning is that this will stop Jason from being Red Hood and will essentially force him to live a ‘normal’ life.
This entire decision on Bruce’s part is honestly just stupid, on top of being wrong. If you can’t understand just why it is so wrong, then I don’t know what to tell you.
And this is not a justification on Red Hood’s illegal actions; if you want him to be held accountable, then hold him accountable – this isn’t that. This isn’t punishing him for crimes he has committed. This is fundamentally changing someone against their will. In doing so, Bruce robs himself of any moral standing him, and his arguments, may have had. It also destroys and modicum of trust he and Jason may have had, as well as jeopardizes the trust that the rest of the Family have in him.
You can see this in what occurs between Bruce and Dick.
If I try and see it from the writer’s point of view, I can kind of understand that this is a drastic action for Bruce to take, and with Zur lurking in the background, is this a hint that he is more compromised than he thinks? To me though, it just reads as Bruce making irresponsible decisions and expecting everyone to go along with it, without him having to explain himself in any way.
As this post has gone on for quite a while, I also don’t really care for the involvement of the Joker at the end, though I do find it interesting that this goes on to tie in with The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. I just think the Joker is an overplayed element now – but that’s just my personal opinion, coming from someone who has enjoyed The Man Who Stopped Laughing.
TL;DR – I went into this storyline/event with hope for the potential that the conflict at it’s core had – though as I read more and more, the disappointment was just compounded for a multitude of different reasons. I’m tired of Bruce being abusive towards the people that he claims to live – this way of writing his character has just gotten old. I do prefer him in the gray area, in a lot of ways, but not when it comes to that. And yes, I do think what he did to Jason was abusive, his intentions and reasoning does not matter.
I’m sad that this story didn’t stay focused on the characters in it’s title, and for me it was just a flop.
I did however, have a couple of good moments with the art and story, such as Bruce and Jason bantering with each other; and the Bat-Siblings trying to be there for each other.
Despite all that I had to complain about, I am looking forward to ‘Mind Bomb’ and seeing how it ties together the Gotham War and The Man Who Stopped Laughing. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for something interesting happening between Zur and the Joker, and that Bruce can somehow reconcile with his family.
And that’s it for this lengthy post. Honestly I just had a lot of thoughts about Gotham War and I needed to get them out. What were your thoughts on Gotham War – did you enjoy it? Did you hate it? Did you skip over it? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
If you like my blog, and you’re interesting in catching other things that I post, I’d appreciate it if you’d consider giving me a follow, then you can stay up-to-date each time I post something new!

How is your weekend going so far? How are you doing? I hope that everything is going exactly as you need it to.
I am doing pretty well myself, I plan to hopefully have a chill and productive Sunday!
I’m back again to close out my week with my weekly comic book haul. This will include the comics that technically came out last week, as I was on holiday and could not pick them up until this week.
As always, I will be covering the individual issues first, then moving onto the graphic novels and collected works.
Let’s get to it, shall we?

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War – Red Hood #2

I have to wait to read this one until I can find Issue #2, which I missed last month.
That’s it for the individual issues – I’m excited to see where things go now that the Gotham War is over, especially with Jason Todd. I guess we’ll have to just wait and see.
With that being said, let’s move onto the graphic novels/collected works!
Graphic Novels/Collected Works
Batman: The Audio Adventures
Batman: The Audio Adventures.
I know nothing about this series, but I thought the art style looked cute when I picked this up, so I decided to add it to my library.
SuperSons Omnibus: Super Duper Edition.
SuperSons Omnibus: Super Duper Edition.
I’ve been waiting for this to come out for months, and I am so excited to actually have my hands on it now!
I adore the dynamic of Damian and Jon’s friendship, so having it all in one spot to read is really awesome, especially as I’ve had a hard time piecing together the individual graphic novels of the series.
(I know online reading is a thing, but unless it is Webtoons, I don’t really care for reading comics online.)
And that’s all for this week’s haul! Did you like it? Did you see anything that you’ve read for yourself and you’d like to share your thoughts?
As always, I’m always open to suggestions, it doesn’t have to be something current!

Happy Friday! How is your day going so far? Do you have anything excited planned for the weekend?
I’m going to a flea market on Sunday that I am really excited for. I’ll be keeping my eye out for any fun vintage finds!
In today’s post, I will be sharing the latest addition to my figure collection, and is anyone surprised that it is a figure of Jason Todd/Red Hood?
I’ll share photos first, then I’ll get into a little bit of information.
Front ViewBack ViewUpper Body Details
This figure was put out by Kotobukiya, and is part of the Ikemen Series.
As far as I am aware, the DC collection features Bruce/Wayne/Batman, Dick Grayson/Nightwing, Jason Todd/Red Hood, Tim Drake/Red Robin, Damian Wayne/Robin and the Joker.
I would like to try and collect them all, but Jason was the most important.
He is honestly a Holy Grail figure for my collection – the others being the statues put out by Prime1 Studios.
He stands at 9 inches tall and is made of resin. He is attached to his base with magnets. He comes with two additional heads, one being his full Red Hood helmet and the other being his face with domino mask.
He was released in 2018.
I’m so happy to have this figure in my collection, he has pride of place on my desk, surrounded by my smaller figurines.
And that is it for this post! I hope that you enjoyed! Do you happen to collect figures, do you have a favourite? If not, is there anything you collect? I’d love to hear all about it.

How was your weekend? I hope that you’re coming into this new week feeling rested and relaxed.
I’m visiting family this week, hence the lateness of this post, though I am hoping that posting early will help make up for that a little bit.
As usual, I will be going through the individual issues that I picked up this week, and then going through the graphic novels/collected works.
Let’s jump right into this week’s haul!
Individual Issues
Batman & Robin #1
Batman & Robin. Issue #1. Regular Cover.
The Dynamic Duo returns! I’ve been looking forward to this coming out for a little but, and I, looking forward to seeing how the dynamic and relationship between Bruce and Damian develops after the events of Batman vs Robin!
World’s Finest: Teen Titans #3
World’s Finest: Teen Titans. Issue #3. Variant Cover by Evan “Doc” Shaner.
The Teen Titans attend a convention with their name on it – literally. How will they cope with fans that might be a little too adoring?
I’ve really been enjoying this more modern take on the Titans, and I couldn’t resist picking up the Speedy cover to match the one I have of Robin.
Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #1
Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham. Book #1.
This Black Label story shows Batman facing off against a new serial killer terrorizing Gotham.
The art style of very different from what I’m used to from Batman comics, but I don’t hate it. I’m looking forward to seeing where this story goes!
The Plot Holes #1
The Plot Holes. Issue #1. Regular Cover.
The first time in a while that I’m reading something outside of the DC universe.
I’m a big fan of Sean Murphy’s work, so a story about book characters who travel to different books to make edits is really fascinating to me. This issue really just introduces the characters and sets up the story but I am excited to read more!
That’s it for individuals, let’s move onto the collected works!
Graphic Novels/Collected Works
Batman: Under the Red Hood – Deluxe Edition
Batman: Under the Red Hood – Deluxe Edition.
I’ve been looking forward to this being released since it was announced, and I finally have my hands on it.
This Deluxe Edition contains the entire Under the Red Hood story as well as Lost Days, which tells the story of Jason Todd before his return to Gotham. There is also some fun behind the scenes stuff.
I definitely recommend this if you’re a fan of Red Hood.
And that’s it for this week’s haul! Did you see anything that piqued your interest?
As always, I’d love to hear any suggestions you might have on. Omits you think I should read!

How are you doing this fine Thursday? I hope that the week has been treating you well so far!
I personally am really enjoying the cooler weather we’ve been having this week, it’s been quite pleasant.
Today, I’m going to be re-starting my tattoo diary posts, where I detail my experiences with getting my various tattoos! This is the first tattoo I’ve gotten in a while that hasn’t been done at a flash event, so I thought it would be a good place to re-start.
It’s also a nerdy tattoo which makes it even better.
I guess I’ll jump right in. I
’ll start with a photo of the tattoo just after I got home from the appointment.
Red Hood tattoo – 30.08.2023
On 30th August 2023 I got my 10th tattoo. I got a tattoo of Red Hood, from the Bat-Family.
This tattoo was done by Kelly Candle over at Empire Tattoo Pittsburgh.
If you’re interested in checking out the studio, you can do so here!
I got him on my forearm, just above my wrist, so he can be hidden by long-sleeves if need be.
He took just over 3 hours to complete. Pain I would say a 2 out of 5, but I am the worst person to ask as I have a fairly high pain tolerance.
I absolutely love how he turned out, and Kelly gave me everything I asked for when I put in the tattoo request. I couldn’t be happier.
As of yesterday, he is 2 weeks old, and he is healing really well. I’ll include a photo that I took yesterday to show his progress.
Red Hood tattoo – 2 weeks healed.
I really look forward to working with Kelly again on some other nerdy tattoos, including one of Nightwing, which I hope to have put on the same arm early next year.
That’s it for today’s post! I’m still trying to figure out how to branch this blog out again, so I can post on a more regular basis!
Do you have any tattoos? Any nerdy tattoos in particular? Are there any nerdy tattoos that you’re like to get, I’d have a whole list!
Please let me know what you thought of this post!
