Title: Finding My Culture in a New Gotham: Why Aztec Batman is More Than Just a Movie

The incredible world of DC comics has done it again! In this newest edition of a reimagined Batman, brought to life by director Juan José Meza-León, the story is set in the ancient times of the Aztec people.

As a boy who was part of the Batman fandom, it brings me so much joy to celebrate the proud accomplishment of an Aztec Batman. This is a huge accomplishment for our community! Thanks to these two men, the actor, and the director have fulfilled a dream for millions of people who desire to see Batman as a multicultural individual. It’s a full-circle moment for me. I’m sad to say that as a boy, I knew more about Batman than I did about my own culture, having only heard whispers of it. Now, as an adult, to see these two worlds meet brings a real sense of resolve.

Batman has always been one of my three favorite superheroes, alongside Superman and Daredevil. My perspective on the character of Bruce Wayne is that he represents the everyday heroes in our own world. In a city like New York, the real Batman is the policeman, the fireman, the postal worker, the security guard, the bouncer—anyone who works in public safety.

This realization came to me in a very personal way. I was rescued by firefighters from a burning building when I was only seven, and a few years ago, when I thought we had a break-in, the police came at three in the morning with no questions asked. This speaks to the heart of crime enforcement and the safety guardrails in our city. Stan Lee did an amazing job of capturing the everyday hero in the everyday person through the powerful image of an almost unbreakable Batman that we have all come to know. It is most fulfilling to see that a Spanish-speaking Batman, voiced by actor Horacio García Rojas, will be around to be viewed by future generations.

With the creation of this movie, millions of Spanish-speaking Americans will be able to enjoy a new legacy in a Batman written in their very own tongue. It is my hope that this soon reaches syndication.

The Simpsons is an American cultural icon with a long history of social commentary. Many images, including all the ones shown above in the post 👆🏼, circulating online that appear to be from the show are actually fan-made creations. These artists mimic the show’s style to satirize and comment on real-world events. This trend highlights how deeply the show’s visual language is embedded in our collective culture, allowing talented cartoonists to use it as a powerful narrative for their own social commentary.👇🏽

Trump Is Toast: Do The Math

MICHAEL MOORE

If everyone does their part for the next few weeks, Trump is going down in flames. So say I.

Right now, if you know how to really read the polls, or if you have access to the various private and internal polling being conducted by and shared only amongst the elites, Wall Street, and Members of Congress, then you already know that this election was over weeks ago. Trump simply refused to believe that “Sleepy Joe” was no longer his opponent and that there was instead “some woman” claiming she was “Black” who was now going to pummel him on Election Day. He soon became unhinged, ranted for hours about Hannibal Lecter, Haitians cannibalizing your pets, and a nonstop drone of oral diarrhea spewing misogyny, racism and essentially claiming that if he loses “it will be the Jews’ fault.” 
The vast majority of the country, the normal people, have seen enough and want the clown car to disappear into the MAGA vortex somewhere between reality and Orlando. The swift and explosive momentum for Kamala Harris is unlike anything that’s been seen in decades. Which is why maybe at this point in my rant I just need to say out loud that which is being said to me in private by people I respect — and not just in whispers, but in excited tones of exuberance: That a new era is being born, one where caucasian is just one of the options but no longer the bossy pants of the world. Where it’s OK if you’re missing the lower right quadrant of the second X chromosome thus making it a “y” which means you’re never going to have your own fallopian tubes so just deal with it and keep your hands off the gender who has them. Simple. 
An aggregate of top polls as of today shows that Harris will defeat Trump in the Electoral College count by 270 to 268.
But I think we need more. We need to ensure that Trump loses in a landslide, with numbers so massive, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the entire country tuned in to watch Geraldo open up Al Capone’s vault. Because that’s the only way to guarantee his permanent removal from the public eye. We should settle for nothing less. 
As it stands now, here are the basic conclusions I’ve come to by simply being around my fellow Americans who are shopping at Costco, having fun making TikToks and eating once a week at Chili’s:
Harris will win 6 states west of the Rockies: Colorado, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii. 

Since losing the debate to Harris, Trump’s momentum has come to a screeching halt. Even with Vance “winning” the debate on Tuesday night with his “charm,” “civility,” “politeness” and “the“ “Satanic” “laser rays” “shooting” “out” “from” “his” “eyes” “into” “our” “brains,” it did not help change anyone’s mind. Harris continues on her rocket ship, never slowing down and only increasing her popularity each day. Trump’s voting base is now severely depressed and more and more they have that sinking feeling as they realize there is no way now for Trump or the Astros to win.
BUT…
You and I know that there are always ways for him to win. We just don’t know what they are because we don’t have “666” inscribed on our foreheads in invisible ink. We do know that Trump has a stellar streak of pulling off the impossible — and those who have written him off have more than once lived to see the day where they must eat humble pie. It is never wise to do a victory dance on the two-yard line when Trump is your opponent. 
So, each of us must still do our work to get out the vote and, most importantly, make sure Harris has a Democratic House and Senate elected next month to pass her/our legislation next year.
I know many of you are still afraid that somehow Trump is going to win. So, knowing how skittish many of you are about November 5th, let me break it down for you and show you how difficult winning is going to be for him. And even if he picks off a swing state or two, there will be more than one way to stop him.
