If any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre, then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller--known also for his excellent Sin City series and his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil--is probably the top contender. Batman represented all that was wrong in comics and Miller set himself a tough task taking on the camp crusader and turning this laughable, innocuous children's cartoon character into a hero for our times. The great Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing, the arguably peerless Watchmen) argued that only someone of Miller's stature could have done this. Batman is a character known well beyond the confines of the comic world (as are his retinue) and so reinventing him, while keeping his limiting core essentials intact, was a huge task.
Miller went far beyond the call of duty. The Dark Knight is a success on every level. Firstly it does keep the core elements of the Batman myth intact, with Robin, Alfred the butler, Commissioner Gordon, and the old roster of villains, present yet brilliantly subverted. Secondly the artwork is fantastic--detailed, sometimes claustrophobic, psychotic. Lastly it's a great story: Gotham City is a hell on earth, street gangs roam but there are no heroes. Decay is ubiquitous. Where is a hero to save Gotham? It is 10 years since the last recorded sighting of the Batman. And things have got worse than ever. Bruce Wayne is close to being a broken man but something is keeping him sane: the need to see change and the belief that he can orchestrate some of that change. Batman is back. The Dark Knight has returned. Awesome. --Mark Thwaite

'Fantastic Four' Tops US Weekend Box Office
Superheroes ruled the U.S. box office last weekend, as Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer debuted at number one with $57.4 million in sales. It slightly surpasses the $56.1 million dollar opening of its 2005 predecessor, The Fantastic Four.
The previous winner, Ocean's Thirteen, fell to second place with $19.1 million. Its 10-day total stands at $69.8 million, putting it on track to become the franchise's third consecutive $100 million movie.
Overall, Hollywood revenues slipped for the third straight weekend. The top 12 movies took in $138.8 million, down four percent from the same time last year.

Astaga!HidupGaya - Menurut jajak pendapat terbaru, pria menjadi lebih perhatian terhadap hal-hal politik daripada memberikan pujian bagi lawan jenisnya. Dan 65 persen wanita curiga bahwa "ada udang dibalik batu" dibalik pujian yang dilontarkan oleh seorang kolega atau rekan kerja baru.
Sementara 89 persen wanita sangat senang dipuja puji, 67 persen wanita malah merasa tak nyaman jika sanjungan itu dilontarkan oleh orang lain selain kekasihnya.
Kira-kira 12 persen wanita mengakui bahwa tak ada seorang pun yang memberi mereka pujian dalam kurun waktu tiga bulan terakhir, demikian ungkap survei yang dilakukan oleh Loire Valley White Wines.
Christine Webber, seorang pakar asmara, mengatakan, "Ketika semua hal kelihatannya tak berjalan lancar atau berantakan, kata-kata pujian bernada positif sesungguhnya dapat menjadi unsur vital yang mengeratkan hubungan.
"Tujuan memberikan pujian adalah agar seseorang merasa lebih baik, walaupun seringkali dibalik pujian terdapat berbagai maksud tersembunyi."
