    In reply to What If Batman's Villains Considered Economic Theory?
    The Joker and other villians should look into Managment courses. Especially the one that deal with hiring Henchmen. They are all so bloody rubbish. They get beaten up, stand around and let the good guy sneak in. And tend to fight in groups yet only attack the good guy one at a time.


    Granted a Henchmans life is a short one. But if you want good henchmen ,its all about good managment. The Penguin had..er Penguin henchmen. Easily distracted by fish and ice. Poison Ivy got it right with Bane (only in the crappy film), but Alas Joel schumacher made Bane so pathetic he got sidlined as a gunting shite sidekick.


    There needs to be online villian managment programs. Get to know your henchmen. what makes them tick.


    You might love or hate Austin Powers. But he delved deep into the life of a Henchman. Thats good villian managment. And he's bald!!!

    @CoffinDodger: Well, considering you've got to be basically completely insane or a total idiot to ever sign up to be a Joker henchmen, I think he's lucky to get what he has.

    That typeface (they weren't fonts back then!) makes me happy when I look at it. Medium = message indeed.

    Shouldn't this be under retro-futurism?

    @Klebert L. Hall: Well they weren't all explicitly future-looking books. But I'll add the tag because I basically agree with you.

    I have spine-worn copies of the last two already, but I'm glad the entire set is getting a classy reprint in their cool "pocket guide" sized format.


    Sadly, the most recent versions of 'Medium is the Massage' I've seen sitting on bookstore shelves comes with a truly hideous neon yellow and hot pink striped dust jacket. It's still the same familiar black book underneath, but I hate to think of customers being afraid to pick it up because the cover is capable of inducing seizures.

    Hahahah. That totally says "The Medium is the Massage." Marshall McLuhan's famous text on muscular-skeletal health.
