Never miss a post!

I initially wasn't that into this idea, but so far it looks pretty good. Some decent stories, though I'd like Graeme and Kevin to do more commentary on them--isn't that kind of the point? Not just more Newsarama? I wonder if I would say something as silly as "Batwoman is this year's Brokeback Mountain, but on a smaller scale" if CBSNews.com asked me. I'd like to think not. Melrose is a smart guy and no offense, but that's just a goofy ass comment, especially about something no one has seen beyond a sexy sketch. I would say that Devin Grayson as writer is already pretty airtight assurance that we're not going to approach Brokeback Mountain quality. More like Escape from Witch Mountain.
BTW, in the Taki Soma/Michael Netzer item Graeme posted yesterday (currently page 2 of the blog), I had a minor contretemps with Michael. As usual with online debates, neither of us came around to the other's side, but no furniture was broken or anything.

CBSNews.com didn't "ask" me to say that. It was lifted from my June 3 post about the pop-culture threads that came together to fuel the mainstream media interest in the story: confusion over Batgirl/Batwoman and childhood memories of Yvonne Craig, passing familiarity with the "Bat-" prefix, the idea that comics are a children's medium and the titillation factor of gay/lesbian stories.
In context, the fuller excerpt is:
... Now take that confusion and passing familiarity with the Bat-brand, add the one-two combination of comics — superhero comics, at least — being viewed as children’s fare, and the titillation factor of gay and lesbian topics, and you have an entertainment story with legs.
Consider “lesbian Batwoman” as this season’s Brokeback Mountain, only on a smaller stage. I’m just surprised we haven’t seen any “Brokeback Gotham” headlines yet.
This isn't an instance of Melissa McNamara calling me up and asking for a pithy soundbite. ("It's better than Cats!") I obviously can't control what, and how much, CBSNews.com chooses to quote. And in the context of the actual post, I don't think the comment is so "goofy ass."
Of course, as they say, your mileage my vary.
