I'm having a day like that letter Hunter S. Thompson wrote to the people who were producing the Rum Diary movie, which was at the time in Development Hell (it finally came out last year, long after Thompson's death, 13 years after the novel's publication, 50 years after it was written). The one in which he describes the process as a "waterhead fuckaround". That's sort of what I think about almost everything* they've done in the Batman franchise since Whatever The Fuck The Most Recent Last-Crisis-Ever Was Called. It particularly irks me that they kept the little fucksack when the Great Upfuck gave them the perfect excuse to pretend he never existed.**

I guess I simply do not see the value in having a Robin who is actually evil while in office. At least Jason Todd wasn't evil when he was Robin. Kind of a cock, yes, Jason was always that, but not an actual, knife-carrying, murder-oriented Obvious Villain. It's like Clark Kent shacking up with Lex Luthor's secretary.

Boy, I guess I've kind of ruined the tone, huh? Please go back to Post Zero and enjoy the jokes again now.

** like they seem to be doing with Spoiler Batgirl - you may perceive a pattern
