I bet a billion everyone knows Joe by now. He has been around for nearly three-fourth a century (69 years). Like the folk-star Bob, he has been reinvented countless times. Very recently, Heath (RIP) made a chilling portrayal of him on silver screen. By now, it must ring a bell as to who I am scribing about.

Around the same time arrived Alan Moore with Watchmen th…

If you are a Graphic Novel Fan”atic,” that title comes with a string or two attached to it. For one, graphic novels are very expensive and draw a hole in your wallet; two most of the high-art, quality works are not available in India and you end up succumbing to low-art, comics disguising as them; three there is a fair chance of you finding that your favorite character isn’t done justice to either art wise or writing wise and you pay a grand and feel robbed.

I have also heard the superhero movie in general and Batman in particular compared to the Homeric epics, because they deal with larger than life figures and even immortals. But the reality of the Homeric epic is c…

It rained heavily this evening. I stand on the balcony, below runs the two-faced canyon, to the right a shallow forest and to the left stripped naked land awaiting a skyscraper be built on. This canyon meets the city of life little farther down, to the right…

It's a long, long story if I had to say as to how I got around to reading Batman as a kid, the movies, the gap during which I had this incurable itch every time I saw a Batman comic wanting to read it but could not because I became an adult (you know what I mean - they say comics is for kids), breaking of the gap, learning that Batman is more a dark hero for grownups than kids, and reading the stories with a brand new perspective, loving it all the way...
