I had a rare moment of fun with this. At this point of my time with the comics website, I gave less and less of a flying f---. The site looked less and less like a source for clever comics discourse and more like a cosplay fetishist haven. My original title for this piece was "Obligatory Ben Affleck Post: A Tired And Weary Topic." The redundancy in the title speaks much of my feelings towards certain people's mindsets at the time.
I had zero investment in the DC Cinematic Universe, and it turns out that might have been down to good instincts. The original post got around a bit, even getting featured at a now-defunct Italian website. I have wanted to double down on my commitment to write intelligent essays, but I would love the time and venue to write goofy pieces like this too. One can dream. Originally September 13, 2013. Edited to protect the guilty.
