I am the Dragon reborn... I have finally rediscovered myself and my way. This is the way of the Dragon... This is the blog of a college graduate with a bio degree and a biochem degree, finding within himself to balance his need for combat and his desire to become a physician. Enjoy...

My windowsill is becoming a fruit fly and gnat graveyard...
My roommate's cool, but he leaves the windows open. And uninvited flies invite themselves in...

Batman: The Animated Series: Original versus Redesign
I must say that the original series was dynamic and colorful, but sometimes, Batman just seemed fat.
Though I DO like the redesigns of many of the characters in the redesigned series, including Batman himself, I find myself sometimes missing the blue on Batman. But overall, the redesign of Batman is better with no yellow.
I like the stylistic choices made for the new Robin, the young Tim Drake, though the Robin design in the original series will always be a classic.
Other redesigned characters, like Baby Doll, aren't nearly as flamboyant, dynamic, or maniacal as she was in the original series. Killer Croc's redesign, however, looks way more kickass than the original. Catwoman's redesign sucks. The original was way sexier. The Joker looked less menacing in the redesign, but both are great, the old version being really scary, and the redesign being funnily and pleasantly comedic. It is of note that Joker underwent a third redesign, used in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker and Justice League, and it was downright SCARY AS HELL.
The redesign looks just sterile sometimes though, kinda plain. On the other hand, it looks more consistent than the original.
On the writing side, both had some of the most fantastic stories written...
With some reorganizing, this rant could probably have been paragraphed better, but I won't bother. This is a blog.
End rant.

What the hell have I been thinking? What the hell is wrong with me? SERIOUSLY...
God, HELP ME PLEASE.
On another note, Bourne would so totally kick Bond's ass...
