Beer and Justice League

So apparently Wil Wheaton has teamed up with Stone Brewing, one of my favorites, to make a wheat stout. I really don't know who Wil Wheaton is because I didn't care for Stand By Me and never saw Star Trek: The Next Generation, but apparently he's a big deal of some sort. Regardless, I will say this guy helped make a damn fine stout. Stone Farking Wheaton's w00tstout. Look it up.

Chug it like a man.

So I've been watching Justice League and Justice League Unlimited on Netflix, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed both of them in full. From start to finish they're both pretty badass shows. I must say, one character I don't much care for in this adaptation of DC's universe is the Joker. Now, the Joker is my favorite villain of all time. As a major Batman fan and psychology major, he interests me in just about every respect a fictional character can apart from gigantic tits, but I have Harley Quinn for that. I have the hugest nerd-on for her and, if possible, would marry and impregnate her right now.

If I were the Joker in this picture, my boner 

would be very conspicuous.

However, in the Justice League series, he seems to be fixated on killing Batman. While that might seem like the logical choice for a supervillain to do to their counterpart, it's never been the Joker's MO, and he's never been a logical man. The Joker defines himself by Batman, and if Batman dies he loses all meaning. He's interested solely in the journey, hoping never to reach the destination. He's similar to the Doctor in hating endings, and that's an awesome facet of his character. An illogical, brutal maniac who doesn't seek to end his foe, but rather wants only to fight him over and over in a never ending chess match for eternity. That's the Joker I know and love.

However, in his first appearance in "Injustice for All", the Justice League Joker has no goals but clearance from Batman's captors to murder him. This is the most blatant disregard for what the character stands for, with his second appearance being more like his normal insane self, hoping only to screw with people's heads and have a blast. But even with the issues I have with one character, the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series are a great set of stories involving some of the greatest characters in the DC comics universe from Atomic Skull to Wonder Woman. Anyone who's a fan of comics who hasn't seen them is robbing themselves of hours of entertainment.

I love how only the Manhunter and Hawkgirl aren't standing spread eagle. 

No idea why but it makes me giggle.
