Constipation Burning , Uti




  • I have often talked about cited roleplaying but Age of Ravens just made several lists of cities of role play "RPGGeek" cited fantasy (Middenheim, Port Blacksands, Bluffside, Carse, Greyhawk, Ryoko Owari, Nishanpur, Kaer Maga, City-State Invincible Overlord of Tyre, clanking City, Pavis, Eidolon, etc..) cited for historical or modern games (Arkham, Prague, Bedlam City, Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Boston, Cairo, Chicago, Metropolis, New York, etc.). and cities of science fiction (which also includes the future of some real cities like Denver or Berlin).

  • The cartographer Keith Curtis gives examples of city plans .

  • Freakosophy had an argument two months ago that Superman is a character of moral absolutism as Batman, more ambiguous, is the hero of human immanence, that seeks justice no illusions about the fallibility and finiteness (which is why Batman can be in love with Catwoman, while Superman may be more hurt if Lois Lane toppled the dark side).

    But the argument is used to better support the demonstration of uchronia Red Son by Mark Millar (Superman fell from the Soviet side and becoming a totalitarian instrument). And the mere fact that Kal-El is disguised as Clark Kent, low its inhumanity to better conceal evidence that he was actually a disguised misanthropic philanthropist .

    Conversely, Mighty Godking now has a pretty Clark Kent apology saying it was instead the only hero to have weathered the " Batmanification " of all superheroes, a process that has increased in the Marvel comics of the '60s and '80s psychologism. All superheroes from Batman need a childish trauma to explain it to become heroes (Bruce Wayne wants to avenge mom and dad, Peter Parker wants to save his soul after the death of his uncle, Barry Allen has seen his mother die, Hal Jordan has seen his father die, Matt Murdock saw his father die, Wolverine has killed his father, etc..). But Superman has no psychological trauma out of a moral education and it is not the incarnate God who would receive the moral law of the higher authority. In this he is much more human than the Christ figure on which the Americans if devotees (at least the goyim) still want him back.

    Certainly in the 60s, Superman was mourning the destruction of Krypton. The theme of this melancholy bereavement became also rather absent after years Weisinger (Mark Waid has unsuccessfully tried to get him back in the 2000s). But this feeling of loss does not create liability and the death of his parents (adoptive or biological) was not what made his desire for humanity. It was one example of his awareness of his own limitations . Clark could impose a totalitarian dictatorship in the Squadron Supreme if he wanted but he chose to "restrict ourselves . The

    Elseworlds Kingdom Come as often show Batman slip in the hubris in the panopticon totalitarian and paranoid (which is why he created the batellite Brother Eye who will try to enslave Earth). Superman is rather rare figure in the fight against his own hubris , the hero fighting against the danger inherent heroism. It a character as democratic curiously trying to fit into the American Roosevelt. This also explains the limited success of Superman since the 60s because self-limitation of power sold poorly and it is not the speech that America or the world could hear. Promethean dream of man rising to the superman is more attractive than the opposite process in which the hero tries not to lose his humanity. Dr. Manhattan also embodies (as was clearly seen Grant Morrison) what would happen if Superman gave way, not in the will to power, but to a deity indifferent and impersonal.

    Freakosophy said that Batman was the only person "without destiny " and that he had made himself by his free will, but it seems questionable as versions of characters. For a long time that this is especially the neurotic repetition compulsion, which replays endlessly his original trauma. [The argument Catwoman - Batman may like a criminal because he understands humanity - can backfire: Batman has no companion in fact real and that fads (apart from Robin) because he can never exceed this cycle of neuroses (apart from a few stories of the 60s where he had a family.]

    This would rather the Last Son of Krypton who made the choice every moment to build a new life, not to colonize the Earth from Krypton and monuments to simply plug in the margin some harm that can be solved, without attempting to impose its power. Batman is the fantasy of force (the plutocrat who lets off steam by beating up criminals, madmen), and Superman is the awareness of the inadequacies of power.

    I have not read the recent episodes of Superman by JM Straczynski does not inspire me but they really wanted to try it (like many things he wrote in the comics). Superman just seems batmanifié to become the n-th character tortured by a moral crisis on his artificial RESPONSIBILITIES. The character will not escape this force.
