Batman first appeared in Detective Comics in 1939 and was little more than detective who wore a superhero costume.

As far as the actors go, Brit Aaron Johnson as Kick-Ass more than fills the lead role ably handling the accent, but I did feel that he lacked the vulnerability of the comic's Dave Lizewski, never nerdy enough and definitely too buff, but that's just nit-picking at a role that should catapult him into the big time.

I can't be hosted in Arab (or Iranian) media. The Aljazeera fellow who called me yesterday to invite me to offer a few opinions by phone (on US foreign policy, as always), he said that my voice has not been heard on AlJazeera in four months. I said: of course, not as I became a victims of their "sulhah" (reconciliation) with Saudi Arabia. And this morning a reporter for Al-Quds radio in Damascus...

The car that is seared into the consciousness of the Baby Boom generation is non...
