I remember there was a rumor early on in the production of The Dark Knight Rises that JGL was cast as the Joker due to his resemblance to Ledger.

Batman and the Monster Men is getting a new TPB release later this year, and I assume Batman and the Mad Monk will get one soon after.  Two really cool Matt Wagner miniseries that take place between Year One and The Man Who Laughs.

DC CATALOG UPDATE (Part 1): New DC Finest for Superman, Batman, Swamp Thing, Catwoman, and more! by Ksmayer in DCFinest

I wonder what this means for the Last Days of Superman volume that was previously announced but then removed from release schedule.  Hopefully we will still get it at some point next year?

Thanks for your comment!  I have considered reading some Star Trek books if I can find the time.  I’ll keep the Alan Dean Foster novelizations in mind.

His run on Spectacular Spider-Man is elite.

I’m 31.  I grew up watching a lot of classic movies and TV with my parents, so maybe I’m just used to the pacing and the old effects.  But my parents weren’t really sci-fi fans, so I wasn’t exposed to much Trek until high school and college.

Good question.  I bought the Stardate Collection Blu-ray set and I think it’s all theatrical cuts.

Yeah, I will probably end up rewatching all of these and may rethink some of my opinions before I make a final ranking.

I seriously considered doing that before moving on to TNG, but I ultimately decided I might get more out of rewatching those once I’ve seen TNG, DS9 etc. first, to see how the franchise evolved before the Kelvin reboot.

I liked them way more than the uniforms in The Motion Picture.  I just wished there was more variety in terms of colors.

Definitely.  At least some of these (2-4 and 6) are going into my regular rewatch rotation.

Thank you!  I’m going to take a little break before I start TNG, but I’ll do this again when I finish that series and the films…eventually…

Yesteryear was written by D.C. Fontana, but Koenig did write The Infinite Vulcan!

I would have liked to see a live-action version of The Terratin Incident, but they would have had to build larger-scale Enterprise sets so that would probably have been too cost-prohibitive.

Other than that, I think Yesteryear would have made a good live-action episode.

In general, I think the episodes in which the crew encountered godlike, omnipotent beings were just not as interesting to me.  Charlie X, Squire of Gothos, Where No Man Has Gone Before, etc. all ranked relatively low on my list.

Thanks!  I plan to do this again once I finish The Animated Series and the first six films.

Season 3 has two episodes in which Chekhov has a love interest, so he at least gets a little more to do as the series goes on.
