Titans: Rebirth #1

/ / Comics

Titans: Rebirth #1Wally West‘s return to the DCU continues in Titans: Rebirth #1. After being pulled back into existence by Barry Allen in DC Universe: Rebirth #1, Wally gets a spiffy new costume and sets out to find his old teammates: the original Teen Titans. Of course this is problematic as none of his old friends knows who Wally is.

At first mistaking him for a threat, the group attempts to put the speedster down. But as each member comes into contact with their former ally a spark of recognition (hey, I’m not above using a pun when appropriate) brings back memories of their forgotten friend.

Detective Comics #934

/ / Comics

Picking up its original numbering, Detective Comics returns as more of a Bat-Family book than a Batman solo title. Concerned that a new villain has been keeping tabs on Gotham’s vigilantes (Red Robin, Stephanie Brown, and Cassandra Cain), Batman enlists the help of Batwoman to get the younger generation trained for the battle yet to come. A Bat Book Camp, if you will. And, to throw a curve ball in the mix, Batman enlists Clayface to be part of the team.

Sure, there are small things I could nitpick about the choices here. I’d rather see Tim Drake in his pre-New 52 costume than a tweaked version of his first Robin costume. Stephanie Brown should be Batgirl not Spoiler. And Cassandra Cain would feel far more at home in the Bat-Family as Black Bat rather that “Orphan” (what a terrible name for a hero).

1986 – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

  • Title: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
  • IMDb: link

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

On this day 30 years ago audiences were introduced to high school senior Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) in writer/director John Hughes‘ 1984 comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Roping both his girlfriend and reluctantant best friend into skipping a day of school with him, Ferris, Sloan (Mia Sara), and Cameron (Alan Ruck) would have a day they would never forget.

Constantly breaking the fourth wall by allowing Ferris to directly address the audience, the film is set in Chicago where Hughes was able to incorporate several well-known landmarks. Both a love story to the city and to the end of youth, Ferris Bueller is a smart, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful film for a high school comedy. Other aspects of the story involve the principal (Jeffrey Jones) obsessed with proving Ferris is skipping school, Ferris’ jealous older sister (Jennifer Grey) who hates the love and attention her brother receives, Ferris’ clueless parents (Cindy Pickett and Lyman Ward), and Cameron’s constant unease both with skipping school and the trio “borrowing” his father’s 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder for their jaunt around town.
