But if it isn’t a work day and you’re plans to go out to the park or farmer’s market have been trashed, your day doesn’t have to be a bust. To help you out we’ve put together a list of ideas that can keep […]
Before Batman, There Was Gotham
May 7th, 2014 by Joshua MurrayWar is coming to Gotham… It started in a dark alley when 2 gunshots rang out into the night and Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne fell. But before young Bruce Wayne grew up to be The Batman, the seedy underbelly of Gotham City began its descent into darkness. That’s where FOX’s new TV series Gotham comes […]
All I Want For Christmas Is…
December 15th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayEvery year my mom asks me what I want for Christmas. And it seems like every year I have more and more trouble trying to answer the question. Yes, it’s true, I do want socks and underwear for Christmas. Maybe that’s what happens when you hit your 30s and have a penchant for grabbing the […]
I Really Gotta Read More
July 29th, 2013 by Joshua Murray“I should read more”, hands up if you’ve said that in the last year. Me too. Now, this isn’t me here trying to guilt you or me into picking up more books and remembering that awesome feeling of being immersed in someone else’s universe, with people that we love and love the hate. It’s just […]
West End Comics – There’s A New Kid In Parkdale
January 20th, 2013 by Joshua MurrayThere’s a new kid in town and he’s selling new and vintage comics, graphic novels, action figures, collectibles, watches, cufflinks and kitsch! West End Comics recently opened in Parkdale (Toronto) and sits (conveniently for me) at the corner of Queen St. West and Sorauren Ave. Trish and I stopped in for the first time yesterday […]
After The Dark Knight Rises – Batman Reborn
January 4th, 2013 by Joshua MurraySo, we’re now months removed from The Dark Knight Rises and the end of the Christopher Nolan directed Batman trilogy. But the legend of the Batman can not end there. No! Here are the current facts that I’m thinking could be a HUGE part of the next Batman story to make it to the live […]
Attention: You Can Be Like Batman!
November 12th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayHey kids, thanks for checking in. In the past I’ve written about why I love The Batman. And it really boils down to a few things. 1) He doesn’t have super powers 2) He has flaws 3) He tries to do good and help people Those three things are also why I love people. I […]
The Green Arrow – Coming to TV on CW!
September 11th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayFinally, boys and girls, we have The Green Arrow in prime time! After the success of Smallville and all of the comic book movies that have come out in the last few years, CW has put together a series for the Emerald Archer. And I am excited for Arrow!

The Dark Knight Rises & The Amazing Spider-Man: What They Got Right!
September 3rd, 2012 by Joshua MurrayI love comic books. And not just for the costumes and adventures and colours. I love the stories and characters and little things that become myth and legend and literature when given the attention that I believe they deserve. Because of that I am sometimes nervous for comic book movies. Studios love big explosions and […]
What’s Next For The Batman?!
July 29th, 2012 by Joshua MurraySo… I saw The Dark Knight Rises this week. And while I am not here to bust out spoilers (sorry, but it’s going to kind of happen) I do want to talk about what may come next and why Christopher Nolan or who ever will be in charge of the project should be allowed to […]
Number 5 With A Splash!
July 22nd, 2012 by Joshua MurrayNote: I was going to use the word bullet in the title, but given recent events and my post about gun violence and how I’m feeling about what’s been going on I’m happy to use splash instead. I used to write a lot of lists. In fact, I got an awesome leather notebook with my […]
And This Is Why I’m Excited For The Dark Knight Rises!
July 8th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayIn traditional super hero mythology and comparison it’s Superman that gets compared to Jesus. But in The Dark Knight Rises, Batman takes that place. You know, with the whole giving everything to the people that need him. Being beaten and broken and coming back again. That’s not why I’m writing this post. I just noticed […]
The Dark Knight Rises… And I’m So Excited!
May 2nd, 2012 by Joshua MurrayI love The Batman. He is the greatest Superhero of all the Superheroes. And I’ve been waiting (as patiently as possible) for The Dark Knight Rises since the run for The Dark Knight ended. I know that you’ve been waiting too. We all have been. It has felt like a long, long time since we […]
I’m Turning 30 – This Is What I Would Like Please
February 7th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayIt’s that time of year again… my birthday is 2 weeks away and it’s time for you all to start planning your gifts for me.
