If I can retain consciousness long enough (I woke up at 6:30 A.M. yesterday, went to a midnight showing of the new Batman, went to bed at 4:30 A.M. this morning, then woke up at 7:30 A.M. to go to work), I am going to try to finish* a blog post on the inescapably fascistic implications of the superhero genre, and comparing the way Justice League Unlimited's Justice Lords/Cadmus arc dealt with them to the way Christopher Nolan deals with them in his Batman trilogy. I am announcing this publically in the hopes that it increases the likelihood of me actually doing it; sometimes that works.
*And by "finish," I of course mean "start."
