Oh you mean a comics-faithful live action origin for Harvey Dent which also treats him as a complex protagonist?
Ah, never mind, he was talking about a new villain. Well, whoever it is and however original the character will be, Iām sure theyāll still look drab and generic.
Iām seriously digging their dynamic.
Update: Jason now gets to ride up front.

Youāre laughing. He was sent to the chair after being betrayed by pennies and youāre laughing.

Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #1 (2026)
written by Jude Ellison S. Doyle art by Fran Galan & Patricio Delpeche
Iāve always been sad that virtually all Clayface writers donāt give Basil is āMud Packā era personality as a grand, flamboyant horror icon of the golden era, like Vincent Price by way of a TV horror host. But in a way, this suggests that heās still drawing from horror movies, even if theyāre far more recent.
Absolute Batman #22 (2026) variant cover by Mike Mayhew
Since Iāve already been lamenting DCās treatment of Talia al Ghul and also expressing my distaste for Absolute Batman, I should add that I absolutely loathe what theyāre doing with Absolute Talia. Sheās like Azula without any of the depth. Itās somehow even worse than the way sheās usually misused in the regular DCU.
Late to the party as usual, I finished all of āShovel Knight: Treasure Trove.ā
Ice-cold take incoming: I think this is a pretty great game. Which is to say, four great games, plus a cool Smash-lite co-op tournament game with neat character stuff in story mode. But I just want to focus on the main four campaigns:
āShovel of Hopeā: the main campaign, and a perfect little game. This is nostalgia done right: playing into memories of 8-bit classics like Mega Man and DuckTales, but with a modern sensibility towards playability, character, design, and fun. Itās also genuinely funny in ways that lots of other retro-style games try and fail to pull off. Itās challenging but not especially frustrating unless youāre an achievement hunter. Satisfying from start to finish.
āPlague of Shadowsā: the absolute worst gameplay of all the campaigns, although maybe some people see okay with it. I struggled a LOT with this one, but thankfully, the story was fun enough to be engaging. Itās the most lightweight of all the storylines, despite the fact that youāre playing a delightfully mad alchemist who loves blowing shit up. Also, Mona is waifu.
Overall, it was a pain in the ass that eventually became satisfying, but Iām not sure how many players would have muscled through their frustration to reach that point. Plague Knight is an evil little maniac and we love him for that. Heās having a grand time being bad, and that joy is infectious.
āSpecter of Tormentā: possibly the secret masterpiece of the whole game. The diagonal-slash style took some getting used to, much like adjusting to Hornet in Silksong coming off of Hollow Knight. But once you have a handle on it, it feels great to play. Even better than playing Shovel Knight. The story is very strong too: a tight little tragedy that somehow manages to avoid becoming too self-serious with its (literally) edgy antivillain protagonist. More than even the main campaign, with its focus on Shovel Knightās angst over Shield Knight, Specter of Torment is the arc which adds the greatest narrative weight to the fun, cartoony world of Shovel Knight. Orā¦ is it?
āKing of Cardsā: it was a bold move by Yacht Club games to make this the finale of their saga, playing as the most one-dimensionally obnoxious villain from the whole saga. Would he at least prove to be a fun villain, like Plague Knight? Kinda, but not really. Would he have hidden depths that make you reevaluate his whole character, like Specter Knight?
Hell no. King Knight is the absolute WORST. Heās an 8-bit Trump by way of a stupider Eric Cartman: a shallow, tacky, greedy asshole who is simultaneously pathetic and destructive. If anything, the storyline reveals just howā¦ but wait, I should just let players see it play out for themselves.
Which many wonāt, if they hate card minigames. I myself often struggle with some while enjoying others. I loved Gwent in Witcher 3 but Iāve never been able to figure out Caravan in New Vegas. I eventually ended up enjoying Joustus in KoC, but Iām also really grateful for the cheat mechanics getting me through some particularly tough matches. Combined with the Wario-style gameplay, KoC was great fun to play. The fact that Iāve devoted multiple paragraphs to this speaks to how rich it was to play this campaign.
But again, that character, and that endingā¦ a bold choice for the finale, one that makes me want to actually play New Game Plus for āShovel of Hope.ā This time around, itāll feel so much more satisfying to beat the crap off of King Knight.
For now, Iām currently grinding through the single-player Showdown mode, which is a tournament brawler in the Smash Bros style. Itās great to be able to play as all these other characters and get more glimpses into their own personalities and relationships. I really want to know more about the shared history between Shovel Knight, Polar Knight, and Black Knight. And itās great to finally have Shield Knight as a playable character. I wish theyād had a fifth and final campaign for Shield Knight, whose story really was at the crux of everything. That would have been the perfect finale.
Regardless, āShovel Knight: Treasure Troveā is a pretty perfect game. As countless other cheap hacks have undoubtedly said over the past thirteen years: I dug it.
I was gonna put off on buying Yacht Clubās newest game, āMina the Horrower,ā until it was a bit cheaper, but apparently the developerās future hinges on Minaās success, so I snatched it up full price. I have no doubt itāll be worth the cost.
Just let out a really loud sigh...
Mind you this is from a comic that celebrates the Asian heritage of superheroes.

@about-faces This may interest you. :p
It sure is lonely being the only person in the world who doesn't like Absolute Batman
It's just so boringggggg
Have I not yet made it clear here that Iām aggressively uninterested AB, and that Iām alternately baffled and depressed that so many people seem to love it? Like, itās all just soā¦ cheap. Low-hanging fruit. Body horror monster versions of rogues like out of Resident Evil, huge muscles, tons of firepower that makes Frank Millerās Batmobile tank look quaint, 80ās anime mecha BatFamā¦ and so many people love it. I still think about recently meeting a rare comic fan in the wild, and he was SHOCKED that I, a self-professed Batman fan, didnāt like Absolute Batman! Mind you, he made it clear that he was more of a Marvel fan anyway, not someone who really keeps up with Batman.
I dunno, I just feel that itās, likeā¦ Batman marketed for people who donāt generally follow Batman comics. Yāknow, like Hush was, along with Morrisonās run (just like how their X-Men run brought in tons of readers who didnāt really read X-Men, who ditched the book once Morrison was gone). Itās Batman repackaged into popular cool things they recognize.
Iām reminded of when a (former) close friend told me he LOVED the New 52 origin of Wonder Woman, with the Zeus backstory that just made her Hercules. He was like, āI never really *got* Wonder Woman before, but I get this!ā Because it was familiar. It didnāt have the challenging hurdle of being unique, much less centered around women. Never mind that he never read the PĆ©rez run, nor showed any interest in checking it out, because he still didnāt care about the character. He just thought the new story was cool. But not enough to actually start reading WW and appreciating her as a character.
By contrast, I think that Absolute Wonder Woman actually COULD potentially work to get people into mainline WW stories like the PĆ©rez run. Itās consistent with Dianaās personality, it generally doesnāt downplay the mythological aspects, and itās still woman-focused. Absolute WW appeals to both seasoned WW fans and new readers, who might be able to read older stories with new appreciation for Diana.
But I donāt think the same can be said for Absolute Batman. Just like Morrisonās Batman readers largely ditched Batman once Morrison was out, I donāt think Absolute Batman readers will end up with a newfound interest in Batman comics outside stuff like The Dark Knight Returns and all the darker, edgier stories that followed in Millerās wake. One way or another, itās Batman for readers who are very much not us, and itās honestly bummed me out to realize how few people actually want to read the kind of Batman Iād want to see.
TL;DR, THIS AINāT YER DADDYāS BATMAN, FANBOY!
Also, upon reflection, I should stress that Iām no better than the readers Iām talking about here. Iāve been a casual Fantastic Four enjoyer for years, but never a dedicated fan, and Iāve enjoyed Ryan Northās current run. But when Iāve talked to the two hardcore FF fans I know, their own reactions are far moreā¦ ācomplicated,ā might be the diplomatic way to put it.
