Last week Warner Brothers/DC Comics released their most recent DC Animated Universe film. This post is really not about the film. It is set in the Batman: The Animated Series continuity from the 1990s. So classic Bruce Timm art. The story is whacked. In the middle there are two musical numbers (story, whacked…). The first is very good, the second not so much*. As a musical interlude I give you the first one, Two Face hench twins, Max and Min, voiced by Rob Paulsen (and Rob Paulsen) covering Don’t Pull Your Love. The characters were originally voice by Mickey Dolenz during the series run. Feel free to post quirky covers in the comments. And see how many Bat villain hench people you can identify if that’s your thing. Otherwise musical open thread!
* The second cover is Melissa Rauch as Harley Quinn doing a bad cover, and losing the bad accent she’s attempting for the character half way through, of Hanging on the Telephone.

Decided to try my first yellow watermelon today. I plan to make watermelon gazpacho tomorrow. This one is very very sweet, I hope the Serrano pepper balances that.
I always hope that the hurricanes are less than expected.

I am reading a book but checking in once in a while and thought you needed a post

@Waratah: If I can get a sweet yellow one it is my preferred watermelon for making a watermelon salsa. Balances the heat really nicely.
Waratah
@Adam L Silverman: I think we will try salsa as well it sounds good thank you.
Adam L Silverman
@Waratah: You’re welcome. Because the watermelon will give off liquid quickly make it far enough ahead for the flavors to mingle, but not so far ahead that the watermelon breaks down completely.

We’re apparently staying across the street from the Trump international in Vancouver, so, feh.

@Major Major Major Major: Have fun.

@Adam L Silverman: does it involve bodily functions?
ETA: I seriously had a reaction of physical revulsion when I saw it.

@Major Major Major Major: I leave all local operational decisions up to you. I don’t need to know.

@Major Major Major Major: Doesn’t surprise me. I remember walking by the one in Chicago when they were building it and just having to see the big sign on the side of the fencing.

Our next door neighbors are going to a nephew’s wedding near Corpus Christi in late October, assuming there’s anything left standing. I read “Issac’s Storm” by Eric Larsen several years ago, about the hurricane that basically wiped out Galveston around 1900.

To me, DC missed a great opportunity to do Justice League right by just making the 90’s story line live action.
Adam L Silverman
@Mike in NC: It’s going to take a while to rebuild. If they get the max on the predicted rain, 40 inches, there is going to be a lot of damage. Especially since the storm has now only moving at 7 mph.
Adam L Silverman
@Belafon: I would have gone with Alex Ross’s Justice and adapted that.

Wondering where Trump might serve time. Any thoughts?

@Adam L Silverman: For comparison, the average anual rainfall in Seattle in 37.5 inches.

@Adam L Silverman:
Already speculation on the national 6:30pm news that gas prices ‘might go up 15-20 cents per gallon’ if the refineries are hit badly enough. (Or, as they didn’t say out loud, if the oil barons can weasel an excuse out of the damage to do exactly what they were gonna do in September regardless.)

@Anne Laurie: It’s going to be ugly. 11 million people in the path of the storm. Even uglier is that a lot of the damage is going to in places where flood insurance isn’t required because those areas don’t flood (under normal circumstances). Going to be a lot of homeowners and business owners who will have no insurance to deal with the damage.

@Mary G: The sad reality of existing, as opposed to living. He’s not getting much benefit from MAGA.

@Adam L Silverman: and Houston still hasn’t rebuilt everything from the Memorial Day flooding in 2015

@Kayla Rudbek: yep

@Mary G: I hope they helped that man after they interviewed him.

@Belafon:
Hell, I’ve said ever since Dawn of Justice came out that they should have just done a live action version of the World’s Finest 3 parter from Superman TAS.

Relatedly, what on Earth was Bruce Timm thinking with this latest movie? In addition to this scene with its blatant homoeroticism between identical twins culminating in a shot that looked for all the world as if one of them was giving the other a blowjib, there’s another clip I’ve seen in which Harley essentially rapes Nightwing!
