Random Memorial for Monday 5/21/12

Gone but not forgotten:  Jerry Robinson.

[What, were you expecting something pithy about Donna or Robin?  I was born in 1972 so although I'm familiar with their work ... I'm just not that old to be ultra connected to them as artistes.]


So instead I'll go back to someone who died over five months ago -- Mr. Robinson, who passed in early December 2011.  The significance -- it was he who helped to create Robin (not Gibb, but Batman's sidekick) and the arch-nemesis The Joker.  And perhaps it's the right time to plug the fact that we are just two months away from the opening of the next Batman movie!

So .... because you started what would one day be (in a Jack/Heath mash-up) ... "remember ... you are my number one guy" and "why so serious?", you will be missed.
