Ol' Lithing In the Guthries Boy is putting his future in YOUR HANDS!

I prefer the old gossip monger days, because it was kind of entertaining, and the items were generally short enough that Hirc Stohnojn didn't lose his ideas/points/clarity in cumbersome wordiness.

I mean, I'm not even sure what he's talking about here:

"Batman Begins" launched last week to rave reviews and a number one spot at the box office. Bob Kane agreed to a deal which has been admired by creators ever since, but there has been much debate about what else should be due to Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson. And with "Batman Begins," the contributions of Dennis O'Neill, especially to the character Ra's Al Ghul, were recently raised.

I mean, okay, there's a gist to it, but, come on! READ ONE HEMINGWAY!

ah, Rich was always capable of being completely incoherent in the old days, too. the fact that he can be worse on message boards suggests that there's at least some proof-reading going on, though...

Soundbite gossip vs attempts at investigative journalism. Comix needs the latter (um, in a true crime sort of way) BUT does that fit with doing a weekly column. I like both in very different ways, but am interested in where the new direction is going over just the rumour mongering. You get that everywhere else (albeit piecemeal).
