Bat Blog readers share some images of cool old Batman toys.

The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph interviews cartoonist Darwyn Cooke, whose take on Will Eisner's "Spirit" debuted in comic book shops yesterday.
Before his death, Eisner signed off on the idea of a new Spirit series. DC approached Cooke not long after.
"I was really pretty flattered - and pretty scared - that they had thought of me for it," he says.
It took a while to decide to take the job, he says. There was no way, after all, that he could top Eisner and his groundbreaking storytelling skills. The key to doing the series, he decided, was to take the Spirit out of the era he was known for and craft modern-day adventures. "Because then I'm not doing an homage and I'm not trying to live up to something that's already there."

Via BoingBoing: Disneyland fans will want to check out The Ghost Relations Department: a "Haunted Mansion" blog.

Bob Dylan plans a very special holiday episode of his "Theme Time Radio Hour" show.
In addition to music, the two-hour show will also feature a complete reading by Dylan of the classic poem, "Twas the Night Before Christmas," as well as his recitations of other holiday-themed anecdotes and insightful commentary on holiday traditions around the world.
This special episode of "Theme Time Radio Hour" will be devoted to the theme of "Christmas and New Year's," with a song list that spans the decades, including "Who Took The Merry Out Of Christmas" by The Staples Singers, "Sock It To Me Santa" by Bob Seger, "Jingle Bells" by Johnny Paycheck and "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" by Nancy Wilson, among many others. The two-hour holiday episode of "Theme Time" will debut on Wednesday, December 20 at 10 a.m. ET on XM's Deep Tracks channel (XM 40), with additional encores airing on XM through the end of the month.
------------------
Speaking of Bob, he's reportedly seeking an injunction to prevent the release of "Factory Girl," an upcoming docudrama about 60s model/actress Edie Sedgwick.
BOB Dylan wants to send "Factory Girl" to the glue factory - charging the upcoming Edie Sedgwick biopic falsely suggests he was responsible for the Andy Warhol ingenue's suicide.
The famed folkie's pit bull lawyers have fired off a letter to producers Bob Yari and Holly Wiersma, and screenwriter Aaron Richard Golub, demanding the flick not be released - or even screened - until they see it to determine if Dylan, who they say has "deep concerns," has been defamed.

Via Boing Boing: The cast of "Battlestar Galactica" depicted in Simpsons-form.
--------------------
Comics Worth Reading offers up a great rule-of-thumb (or whatever other part of the anatomy you might choose) to artists designing "costumes" for female characters: "If you would not allow your favorite 16-year-old female relative (daughter, cousin, niece) to wear it, don’t draw it."
---------------------
I never did trust Henry Kissinger.

Deal alert: Phil Spector's Back to Mono--a four-CD set including a buncha great girl group singles, plus his classic Christmas record--$12.99 at Amazon.
