Chris Haley is... THE ENTHUSIAST!

“When people complain about Batman being foolish in The Dark Knight, they wish for the strong, always-right, never-wrong Batman of their imaginations. But the greatness of The Dark Knight‘s narrative lies in how it shows that Batman is often wrong, and completely helpless when dealing with a criminal like the Joker. There is no defense against evil, only the strength to not give in to it. “If Batman has limits, I can’t afford to know them,” says Bruce in Act I, and here he’s confronted with the folly of that headstrong philosophy — Batman is all about limits, and the narrative of The Dark Knight is, in large part, an examination, and definition, of those limits.” - Todd Alcott at The Beat

“But still Bruce should have grabbed the Joker with his right arm before jumping to save Rachel and release him once they were both diving for the pavement. End of Joker, Dent gets elected, end of Batman, Mr. Wayne gets to bang his chick. For realz.”

thechrishaleycoloringbook: The Dark Knight Rocks! Here I have drawn Batman singing a song with some serious feeling for you to color! Perhaps he is doing karaoke. You can print this out (full-sizes here) and color it with crayons or on the computer all fancy like if that’s your thing.  Either way is totally fine with me, just be sure to let me know how it turns out by giving me a shout on Twitter or dropping it in the Submissions Box!  As always, sharing is caring, so if you like this or think other people you know might like to color it, reblog it or print it out and give it to them. xoch

As some of you may or may not know, I do a lot of comic work.

The majority of this work requires a computer.

My computer is 6 years old and about to die. It is literally crashing all the time and having mad problems with living as a computer should.

To try to raise the money quickly to get a new one before this one dies so I don’t lose any further work related revenue, I am going to start aggressively selling off my original art.

This is me starting that!

Here are the prices!

Gameboy - $75
Strange M.D. - $40
Captain America - $35
“Before Watchmen” - $20
The Dark Knight Rocks - $60
Spider-Man - $30
Superman - $35
The Insecure Hulk - $20 

TL;DR - I’m desperate for $$$ for a new computer before my old one dies, so email me at thechrishaley at gmail if you want to buy any of this original art!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REBLOG!

All the jobs… REPUBLICAAAAAAAAANS! Rush Limbaugh, sex tourist, said A Thing. It was a dumb A Thing, and thus, everyone did say so, and we all left it alone. The Dark Knight Rises is happening this week, and everybody is extremely terrified of spoilers. What’s your theory on what’s gonna happen? Is this whole movie gonna be about Bane’s 99% vs. Batman and the 1%? Yo, don’t spoil it. Make some shit up. I got a text from my pal Shane George about the Batman movie that read, simply: batmns This, like a batch of neatly organized tea leaves, is a good omen. -cof

Heroes they deserve Hard to talk about The Dark Knight Rises without getting into the tragedy at the Aurora Theater in Colorado. It’s even more difficult to make jokes about the thing, seeing how tied together the two are. Give us a few days, we’ll be back to being funny on Monday. I mean, if you consider us ever funny. In the meantime, donate blood if you can and try to enjoy all the moments we have that aren’t interrupted by insanity. -cof
