Things that Science-Fiction Writers Need to Stop Doing
Do you know what’s awesome? Batman…IN THE FUTURE!!! Batman Beyond, the animated series and the comic series, both focus on a new Batman who lives in the future. It’s pretty cool.

Authors: Stefan Petrucha, Rick Parker Publisher: Papercutz Slices (Not to be confused with the Harvard and Mad parodies of the same name.)
