So a couple of nights ago, Adult Swim aired the Robot Chicken: DC Special III, all approved and signed off by DC Entertainment.
Yes, even that. And the Penguin Robin crotch-gaze fantasy sequence.
It was only a few years ago that DC Comics wouldn't even let Mike Allred have Batman do the Bat-usi on the cover of the Solo series…
Though things later changed.
My beloved long-buried DC SOLO "BATUSI" cover is now not only "legal", but is all over the new HC DELUXE DC SOLO Collection!!! It's real!!!

And now Lex Luthor – all of him – do Magic Mike, with the full co-operation of Geoff Johns.
And if you wanted the answer to the question "whatever happened to JT Krul", here's your answer, along with the other all-male line of writers.
There's also the long list of credits for character creation. Hoping that Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway and Scott Shaw got something for this – as opposed to the bupkiss they got for Captain Carrot in Multiversity….
But near the top is the first on-screen credit for Bill Finger as the co-creator of Batman.
Not sure he would ave expected it to first appear somewhere like this show though…
