Stars: 1
Review by: Mandy Apgar
Before you
ask, no, the one author was not named after the city in Batman. It is
one of the names of the Buddha. I checked this out thinking "what
friggin idiot would name their kid 'Gotham' unless you're
nuts?" and after reading this I'm fairly positive he is nuts. When
you're able to practically mind meld with Grant Morrison at a convention
then yes, you are batcrap insane. Filled with the type of lovely psycho
babble that fans would adore, well, if they were
stupid, I counted 4 major mistakes in characters' origins by page 26 and
stopped counting after that as they kept piling up. Did you know that
kryptonite is an extension of Superman's self? And here I thought Jerry
Siegel created that in 1940. Hum. Lots of
things are extensions of a characters' self, which gets to be incredibly
silly after a while. And the way to deal with this is love, of course,
and other silliness. Sure. If Dr. Doom was real try telling him the root
of his vanity issues was that he needed
to love himself more. I had a visual of the X-Men all cross legged in a
circle singing "kumbaya" while rubbing Professor X's head by the end.
