In honor of Comic-Con week, let's all remember the time a DC Comics publicist told the newspaper that Robin was dead, and frankly they'd kill him again if they could.
Between this and The Odyssey box office, if you've got a screenplay about a Greek guy playing soccer, now is your moment, my friend.

Reading the remarkably brutal profile of Trump that TIME ran in 1989, and this part at the end is still kind of staggering: "Trump is a brilliant dealmaker with almost no sense of his own emotions or his own identity...He is a kind of black hole in space, which cannot be filled..."
