Season 1, Episode 8 | ROMY & MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION (1997)

Romy & Michele's High School Reunion arrived in the spring of 1997 with little fanfare, but has since become a cult classic thanks to inspired comedic performances by Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino, a witty and lighthearted script, eye-catching costumes by Mona May, and a super fun soundtrack. Join Gabby and Amy as they enumerate the many virtues of this female buddy pic. #businesswomensspecial

June 1964. A month into Batman's "New Look" period, Alfred the butler is dramatically killed off in DETECTIVE COMICS #328. Writer Bill Finger gives Alfred a suitably heroic demise, sacrificing his life to save Batman and Robin from the Tri-State Gang.

Ouch. This is fairly grisly for Silver Age DC, and, more significantly, obviously intended to be final. (If you're going to seemingly kill off a character with the intent of bringing them back later, "crushed to death by tons of rock right in front of their closest friends" is probably not the way to go.)

Two points of interest here: First, the Alfred Foundation, as will be explained later, is the antecedent of what later became the Wayne Foundation (whose building was redesigned in the early 1970s), which did not yet exist at this point. Second, it's awkwardly obvious here that Alfred had never been given a canonical last name. In one 1945 story, he'd used the name "Alfred Beagle," but that hadn't been mentioned again afterward. The name "Pennyworth" was first used in 1969, five years after this story.

Why did editor Julius Schwartz kill off Alfred, who'd been a staple of the Batman strip since 1943? According to Schwartz, it was to help lay to rest the insinuations that had been floating around for years (especially in the wake of Frederic Wertham's SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT a decade earlier) that the Wayne household seemed awfully gay. It should be understood that the modern conception of Alfred as a military veteran and one-time badass didn't arise until the 1980s; since his introduction in 1943, Alfred had been primarily a comic relief figure, and generally a bit of a ninny. Schwartz wanted to replace him with a "a sort of chaperoning den mother," which became Dick Grayson's Aunt Harriet, introduced at the end of this story:

Schwartz claimed that he borrowed the name "Aunt Harriet" from the lyrics of the 1929 Hoagy Carmichael standard "Rockin' Chair." Like Alfred, she didn't initially have a last name (the name "Cooper" came from the TV show, and didn't appear in the comics until DETECTIVE COMICS #373). In the comics, she was not as old or quite as matronly as Madge Blake, who played the character on TV; she was perhaps a decade older than Bruce Wayne.

I'm a little skeptical of Schwartz's assertion that his goal in killing off Alfred in favor of Aunt Harriet was to make Bruce and Dick seem less gay. If that was the plan, it wasn't terribly effective: For one, as the TV show demonstrated, her presence in the Wayne household hardly decreased the camp factor, and the principal dynamic of her comics appearances was to have her nosiness constantly threaten to "out" her nephew and his guardian! Moreover, the "New Look" period actually discarded the three recurring female characters who'd previously been positioned as romantic foils (Batwoman/Kathy Kane, Vicki Vale, and Bat-Girl/Betty Kane) — there would be new ones, but they wouldn't appear for a while, nor did Catwoman (who had been absent since 1956 and didn't return to the comics until 1966) — so Schwartz actually cemented Bruce and Dick's "confirmed bachelor" status, at least for a while.

My guess is that Schwartz, who had been given just six months to turn around BATMAN and DETECTIVE COMICS (whose sales were in very bad shape in 1963–1964), figured that killing Alfred would be an easy way to shake things up a bit. As with the yellow oval Carmine Infantino added to Batman's chest emblem, it was a dramatic but largely cosmetic gesture that didn't really alter the direction of the strip in any very meaningful way.

WC: BATMAN #167

This particular issue of BATMAN was the only one I got in my Windfall Comics purchase of 1988 that featured editor Julie Schwartz’s “New Look” revamp version of Batman and Robin. After years under former editor Jack Schiff and with sales dwindling, irwin Donenfeld shifted the Caped Crusader over to Schwartz’s editorial control. Even at that time, Julie was considered the super hero revamp kind,…

Lügen, sein Bruder: Lügen klingen besser als die Wahrheit, wenn man sehr verzweifelt ist (Aus der Perspektive von echten Psychopathen)

Es war alles ready, aber diese verrückte (sehr verrückte) Bitch ist einfach nicht nach Plan gegangen. Es ist fast so als ob die einfach einen eigenen Willen hat. Dabei ist sie eine Frau und eigentlich sind wir davon ausgegangen, dass sie unser perfektes Opfer ist. Labil, schwach und dumm. Mental ausgelaugt, leicht beeinflussbar. Robin Hood & Pinochio hatten für alles eine story bereit, egal wie irrsinnig, egal wie viel Scheiße daran geklebt hat. Das wird ihr zu viel werden, es nimmt zu viel Kraft, sie wird sich nicht damit auseinandersetzen. Sie geht und wir sagen was wir wollen. Wenn die Lügen keinen Sinn mehr ergeben, dann muss man einfach mehr lügen bis es wieder Sinn ergibt. Am besten, stellt man sich selbst als Opfer dar, obwohl man selbst Schuld ist. Dann schiebt man es dem depressiven Opfer in die Schuhe. Die hatte einfach noch nie Glück mit Nachbarn. Und es gibt keine freie Minute, wo sie nicht simuliert. Das Marzahner Plattenbaukind hat nichts zu verlieren. Aber wir schon. Unseren guten Ruf. Wir haben ebenfalls Minderwertigkeitskomplexe, ein niedriges Selbstwertgefühl und interessieren uns dafür, was andere von uns denken, und zwar mehr als uns lieb ist. Für Pinochio kommt jede Hilfe zu spät, aber Robin Hood ist einfach freiwillig auf ein sinkendes Schiff gestiegen, weil sein Ego angekratzt wurde. Die Verrückte ist nicht die einzige, die sensibel ist. Und auf dem sinkenden Schiff angekommen, hat sich einfach rausgestellt was für ein wirklich kranker Freak sich hinter der unscheinbaren Fassade versteckt. Zwielichtig, rachesüchtig, ein notorischer Lügner. Genau wie Pinochio. Und komplett besessen. Einen Tag hört es auf, dann fängt es wieder an, mal ist es nirgendwo, manchmal überall. Man findet keine Ruhe, irgendwann nimmt es einfach dein ganzes Leben ein. Bis man kaum noch klar denken kann. Und dann benimmt man sich entweder verrückt mit sehr viel Reaktionen oder man macht mental detox in Schriftform und lenkt sich ab. Zeit vergeht, aber das Motto bleibt gleich: Alles ihRe Schuld. Wir sind unschuldig. So war es nicht. Sie ist ein Marzahner Plattenbaukind mit mentalen Mängeln +, aber nach dem Jahr, kein Wunder. Sie denkt sie kann lesen und schreiben, aber Marzahn hat keine Schulen. Und sie studiert kein Lehramt. Ihr Abi ist einfach nutzlos, ihr Bachelor auch, der Sektenführer hat sie noch nicht für einen bestimmten Beruf eingeteilt. Fremde bestimmen immer über andere Leben. Jeder muss dahin zurück wo er herkommt.

Das Schiff war schon am sinken, aber wir haben es noch schneller sinken lassen. Aber da waren auch überall Löcher. Manchmal haben wir die selber reingestochen, dann haben wir gesagt, es war Trinh. Und unsere Besatzung hat auf der Suche nach einem Rettungsboot einfach angefangen sich gegenseitig zu fressen und zu ertränken. Aber eigentlich sollte nur diese VerRückte TrinH ertrinken. Jetzt ertrinken wir alle zusammen. Das Wasser ist anders als erwartet, kalt, sogar eiskalt. Und im Wasser sind Haie. Blutrünstige Haie und Blut lockt noch mehr an. So wie Menstruationen immer die Bindenflüsterer, Robin und Röman angelockt haben. Es fühlt sich nicht gut an. Es tut ein bisschen weh. Irgendwann wird man taub und fühlt kaum noch was. Gut, dass Schwänze hier eh nicht verloren gehen können. Was vorher nicht da war, kann man dann natürlich auch nicht verlieren. Das gilt auch für andere Sachen, z.B.: Ehre, Ruf, Moral, Gewissen, Verstand und Eier.

#Wie aggressive Wespen die man wegschlägt #Sie kommen wieder und es werden immer mehr und sie werden immer wütender #Schreibtherapien kann man freiwillig lesen oder nicht lesen #Ich verfolge hier niemanden in meiner Freizeit um ihnen Psychoterror zu geben #Ich schreie auch niemanden was auf der Straße als Beleidigung nach um eine Reaktion zu kriegen #DAS wäre kindisch #Und ich bin eine 26 Jährige Rentnerin 💅🏼 #Schlimm genug jemanden nach zwei Jahren aus ihrem Wohnheim und der Stadt zu ekeln #Dann versucht man das in der anderen Stadt auch #Musste ganze Zeit Spott und Hohn von so hässlichen kleinen Missgeburten ertragen #Hat im Wohnheim unter der Sekte nicht gereicht #Die Sektenführer und ihre kleinen verlogenen Arschlecker #Jeden Tag Scheiße fressen und Arschlöcher sauber lecken #Die Opfer haben alles gemacht was ihnen gesagt wurde #Hauptsache man ist nicht alleine in einer fremden Stadt weit weg von der Heimat #Der FühRer bringt alle zusammen 🥸 #IcH sucHe diE Schuld übEralL außEr bei miR selbSt #Einer muss eine Trillerpfeife holen und diesen kleinen süßen Wohnheimstreit schlichten! #Wo ist Martin mit seiner Weste wenn man ihn braucht? #Ich frag mich ob Johannas Löcher schon einen Anwalt haben 😔 Geht es ihren Frettchen auch gut? #Wird ihnen jetzt regelmäßig die Fresse gestopft? #asking for a friend

[cantsayidont]

February 1955. My personal favorite of the various minor recurring characters of the Batman stories of the 1950s is Brane Taylor, the blonde Batman of the 31st Century, who appeared twice: first in a story in BATMAN #67 in 1951, and again in DETECTIVE COMICS #216 in early 1955.

As explained in the above page from the latter story, Brane first traveled back to Batman and Robin's era to enlist Dick Grayson's help after his own Robin (Brane's unnamed redheaded nephew) was injured fighting a space pirate called Yerxa. Robin's recollection above makes it sound a bit more glamorous than that earlier adventure actually ended up being for him — you see, Brane got both of them sent to space-prison!

If that last panel looks familiar, that's because it's a pretty direct swipe from a scene in the film DESTINATION MOON, which came out in 1950, not long before Bill Finger wrote this story. (That image appeared in promotional stills and posters, which I assume penciller Dick Sprang referenced.) In any event, Brane and Robin had to endure a lot of very miserable manual labor "in the mine pits of Vulcan" before they figured out how Yerxa was stealing the Vulcanite (a "new element" that when combined with glass "concentrates the sun's heat to an unbelievable degree!"). Afterward, Dick used Brane's time machine to bring Bruce Wayne to the 31st Century to help thwart Yerxa's attempt to reveal that Brane Taylor was Batman.

Oh, "scientific massage-treatment," huh? Is that what they're calling it now? The "one difference" between them, by the way, is that Brane is slightly taller than Bruce Wayne, something that will indeed become relevant later.

Brane's earlier appearance had implied that he was a bit more of a fop than Bruce Wayne, and during his time in the 20th Century, he keeps flirting with Vicki Vale, something that immediately makes her suspicious:

Brane also comes across as a bit of a doofus, although part of his problem is that he's largely unfamiliar with the 20th Century (which is ancient history for him), and Robin keeps nagging him not to use his various futuristic gadgets, especially around Vicki:

Sometimes, of course, he has no alternative:

By this time, Brane's "scientific massage" has worked wonders, and Bruce Wayne is back in action. However, Vicki is not satisfied:

Honestly, he's lucky Vicki didn't break out the phrenology calipers.

There's a common misconception that the monsters, weird aliens, and strange transformations that began to dominate the Batman strip around 1957 were a huge departure from what had come before, but the truth is that Batman stories had incorporated a fair number of fantastical elements since the very beginning. What changed in the late 1950s and early 1960s was that those elements became too frequent and too rote to really be fun anymore. Earlier stories like the Brane Taylor adventures are also pretty out there, but there's an imagination and energy that editor Jack Schiff (though reportedly much better to work for than tyrannical Superman group editor Mort Weisinger) didn't know how to sustain when this kind of material became the rule rather than the exception for Batman and Robin.
