Silent Shadow of the Bat-Man #3—Arkham After Midnight, Chapter One: Mark of the Mad Hatter.



Silent Shadow of the Bat-Man #3—Arkham After Midnight, Chapter Two: Riddle Me Deadly.



Coming soon, in Chapter Three: Curse of the Clay-Face!

Further selected (fan-)vids here, meanwhile, beginning with Flummery’s “Handlebars”, which manages to make me appreciate David Tennant’s Doctor Who from both his charmingly eccentric and freakin’ scary sides (http://www.imeem.com/flummery/video/qrsaWFB9/flummery_dw_handlebars_tv_video/). For those who like vampires, meanwhile—or vampire-hunting, more to the point—here’s all three Blade movies in one long session of slice, dice, slash and burn (
http://www.imeem.com/people/OKXFT2/video/2NhVSJQ6/balistik_exterminating_son_movies_video/). And this one, frankly, may destroy you—it’s Troy from the POV of somebody who thinks war is anything but cool (http://www.imeem.com/charmax/video/B6f69zic/charmax_troyno_bravery_vidding_movies_video/).

The great part about this last link is that if you click on “profile” in the banner above, it’ll hook you up with all the rest of Charmax’s vids. I’m particularly fond of the one she did for Lea Pool’s movie Lost and Delirious, to the Cliks’ cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River”; not only is it far sexier and far less gruellingly emo, but it rightly focuses on how cool and love-deserving Piper Perabo’s baby-butch character is (even to the point of allowing her a far better ending than the film did). For those who are less interested in slash, there’s a wonderful Deadwood female character exploration built around the song “Bloody Motherfucking Asshole” by Martha Wainright, and the best John Winchester vid I’ve ever seen (“Deus Ibi Est”).

That Troy vid was kind of amazing.

And far, far better than the movie ever was.

As far as I can tell, every movie (and some TV shows) look(s) better reduced to three minutes with a really apt song slapped on it afterwards. See Flummery's tribute to Odyssey 5, set to Poe's "Haunted".

BTW, briefly revisiting the department of awesome butch girls, I forgot to mention that Charmax also did an amazing Starbuck vid to "Mainstream" by Thea Gilmore.

That is true about vids. Sometimes it's not even the editing, it's just the song.

You know, your Atkins/South Beah thing making you feel better makes me wonder if your doctor tested you for allergies. Like wheat or gluten allergies, if going off breads made you feel better.

Yeah, well, I was a pretty serious Celiac when I was a kid, but I supposedly "grew out of it". And grantedly, it's not like bread passes right through my body immediately anymore--ie, gives me violent diarrhea five minutes after I eat it--but I have noticed continual issues with bread and bread-products throughout my adult life. They promote bloat, act on my nervous system like crack, and may lie at the base of all that constipation and insomnia, too. So gluten-free is looking lie the way to go.
