Nu höjs röster i England om att införa ett nytt felmeddelande på internet.
403 Forbidden är ett felmeddelande som poppar upp på datorskärmen när man söker på en internetsida som blockeras av servern. För tillfället används däremot 403 även felaktigt när sidor blockeras av andra anledningar, som att de förbjudits enligt lag. Många britter möts av 403-meddelandet när de försöker surfa in på till exempel Piratebay.
Förslaget går ut på att införa den nya koden 451 för censurfall, som referens till Ray Bradburys dystopiklassiker Fahrenheit 451 om en hårt censurerad framtid. Förslaget är allvarligt menat och syftar till att göra internetcensur mer genomskinlig för användarna. I juli hålls ett möte om saken.

One of the more impressive scenes of Batman & Son is the one in which Batman fights a never-ending hoard of man-bats in a pop art gallery. The pop art pictures are used to illustrate many of the sound effects in a most humouristic way (a picture with a ”WOW” speech bubble hanging over a gorgeous woman, for example).
Otherwise, Morrison‘s way to tell the story leaves a lot to wish for. Sometimes he lets a character seemingly imply something, never to bring the subject back up again. At other times Morrison completely drops a storyline and nothing is ever spoken of it again, as he starts a new arc. Talia al Ghul is the most tangible disappointment, as she acts very irrational and out of character.
Interestingly enough, Morrison has Alfred to read Artemis Fowl in one arc. Alfred ought to be at last 50 years too old for that, no?

The first Batman comic I ever read, so bear with me. It is a very short one (under 70 pages) about the first time Gotham meets the Joker. Batman has been fighting evil for some time, but is still not a well-established super hero in the city. The intro of the story is excellent, as are the illustrations, but the ending feels a bit sudden and pointless.

Another story by Brubaker in the same album, taking place several years later. A couple of unsolved murders that happened 50 years ago resurfaces and Batman takes help from the Green Lantern to solve them.
Waaay too much of this storyline is about the Green Lantern, and he is a boring motherfucker of a super hero to be honest.
If you, like me, lose interest for the plot, it sure is not worth it. I spent most of the story wondering why neither Batman nor the Green Lantern were old men, which they should have been after all this time(?)
