Answering Muslims: The Islamic Objective in Great Britain

I agree with David Wood. Why don't we just let this Muslim explain what he and other like-minded individuals really think.

'Batman: Year One' Animated Movie Gets Its Voice Cast - ComicsAlliance | Comic book culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews

One of the big stories today was the announcement that the voices of the main characters for the upcoming Batman Year One animated have been cast.

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston is an inspired choice to play James Gordon, the Gotham City police Lieutenant with whom the young Batman allies to wage a new war on crime. Voicing that novice Dark Knight is Ben McKenzie from Southland and The OC. The cast also includes Eliza Dushku as Catwoman, Katee Sackhoff as Sarah Essen and Alex Rocco as Carmine Falcone.

I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the DCU animated movies and they are great examples of excellent storytelling. What drew my attention to this story is:

Cranston told The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision that he rejected WB's offer to perform in Batman: Year One without even reading the script, simply by virtue of the fact that it was for animation, which he considered an unsophisticated medium. Naturally, Cranston was turned around by Miller & Mazzucchelli and the WB Animation team.

"I wasn't aware of this level of storytelling in animation. I confess that freely," he says. "They didn't give the characters the short shrift. I was stunned."

Cranston's attitude is still prevalent and I had forgotten that. Many people forget that animation is not a genre. IT's a medium. You can truly tell just about any story you want and do it in a convincing and epic way. It is sophisticated and worthy of the same respect as live-action productions.

The Dunamis Word: The "Good Book" The Bible Of Humanism

I appreciate Elder Harvey Burnett posting this article on this publication I hadn't heard about: The "Good Book".


Anthony Graylings book called "The Good Book" is currently being promoted to support the efforts and the agenda of materialism and materialists everywhere. In a book styled after the Bible, which is known as the best selling book in history, the "Good Book" as it is called comes replete with chapter, verse and language similar to the King James Version of the Bible. Simply put, it is a Bible without God and one that is centered on man.

Genesis 1:1 ~ "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

The Good Book ~ “All things take their origin from earlier kinds: Ancestors of most creatures rose from the sea, some inhabitants of the sea evolved from land-dwelling forefathers.”


The question I have is this: If the Bible is such an obvious failure and not worthy of attention, why would a humanist want to parody it. After reading Elder Burnett's remarks, it seems strange to me - like it is an attempt to fill the vacancy rejecting God leaves in the lives of those who deny God's will. More proof the we really need to pray.

It seems that there is gender issues and every industry and field - even in creating and publishing comic books.
