This Day 611. If you have a creative response to it. Email it to me and I will feature it in my new challenge "Created Responses To This Day"

photo by Paul Brookes Enduring a Morning During a morning of impossible climbs out from the valley of sleep, I saw a cliff face woven into a flower, the crags and moss of unconquered peaks, moors of rugged flora all sewn onto one stem. If nature can be a mirror unto itself, then I can be the water, the waker, the dawn chorus, an embrace of Spring-fuelled air. Colin Dardis Bio and Links Colin…

Well... today I was once again reminded how helplessly and absolutely in love I am with Mr. Darcy (and probably always will be).

The Batman: una nuova arma nel dettaglio della Batsuit

Nuovo post su italianaradio https://www.italianaradio.it/index.php/the-batman-una-nuova-arma-nel-dettaglio-della-batsuit/

The Batman: una nuova arma nel dettaglio della Batsuit

The Batman: una nuova arma nel dettaglio della Batsuit

The Batman: una nuova arma nel dettaglio della Batsuit

Le foto dal set di The Batman hanno evidenziato una Batsuit abbastanza simile a una tuta da combattimento, un costume che sembra ricavato da sesti meccanici, il che si sposa alla perfezione con l’approccio realistico e crudo che Matt Reeves sembra voglia portare avanti nella sua versione per il cinema dell’Uomo Pipistrello.

In particolare, su Instagram sono state pubblicate nuove immagini che mostrano il dettaglio di un “bracciale” del costume del Crociato di Gotham e sembra che il nostro eroe sarà munito di nuove armi. Il manicotto del costume presenta infatti una specie di “faretra” e dentro sono chiaramente visibili dei dardi che sicuramente saranno utili sia nel combattimento corpo a corpo che in quello a distanza.

Ecco le immagini da vicino:

The Batman: cosa pensa Ben Affleck di Robert Pattinson

Il cast di The Batman è formato da molti volti noti: insieme a Robert Pattinson nei panni di Bruce Wayne, ci saranno anche Andy Serkis (Alfred), Colin Farrell (Oswald Chesterfield/Pinguino), Zoe Kravitz (Catwoman), Jeffrey Wright (Jim Gordon) e Paul Dano (Enigmista). Infine, John Turturro sarà il boss Carmine Falcone. Nel cast anche Peter Sarsgaard, ma c’è ancora mistero sul suo ruolo.

HN Entertainment ha suggerito che le riprese del cinecomic si svolgeranno presso i Leavesden Studios di Londra (gli stessi della saga di Harry Potter ma anche di Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Wonder Woman e del sequel Wonder Woman 1984) mentre l’uscita nelle sale è stata già fissata al 25 giugno 2021.

“The Batman esplorerà un caso di detective“, scrivono le fonti, “Quando alcune persone iniziano a morire in modi strani, Batman dovrà scendere nelle profondità di Gotham per trovare indizi e risolvere il mistero di una cospirazione connessa alla storia e ai criminali di Gotham City. Nel film, tutta la Batman Rogues Gallery sarà disponibile e attiva, molto simile a quella originale fumetti e dei film animati. Il film presenterà più villain, poiché sono tutti sospettati“.

The Merits of Getting Lost by Colin Dardis

The Merits of Getting Lost by Colin Dardis

By Colin Dardis

The Norwegian explorer Roald Amudsen said that “adventure is lack of planning”. I tend to disagree: adventure is opportunistic, and can, to a certain extent, be planned for. Often, when my wife and I are venturing down some trail, or following a designated route, we will often see a dirt path leading out into the unknown. Or it might be a break in the trees, leading to an opening…

Fifteen Minutes of Sunshine

Fifteen Minutes of Sunshine

Walk in the sun opposite Renmore

Dedicated to the Dardis family on the passing of their father Tony, and to all families on that final journey with a loved one. Colin had written about wheeling him out in the sunshine some days back for the length of time his dad was able to enjoy it, and how great it was to have something so simple and a time so sweet and short to share…

Something we take for…

Five Poems

by Colin Dardis 

Why I watch American Wrestling

  It's rarely worth staying up to 2am

to watch live American wrestling,

but I do it anyway.

  For feck's sake, I could easily

change channels with just a few

electrical impulses to my fingers,

and my eyes would be bathing in

cheap titillation from live phone-sex

gyrating fleshbots.

  Minus the phone-sex

because it's silenced out

and you need to pay

one-fifty a minute for the groans.

At least the boobs and ass are free.

  As well as the cheers and roars

from the American crowds,

viewing muscled men in tight shorts

prance about.

  Maybe that's why I watch it instead

of softcore porn:

I enjoy a soundtrack.

Or maybe I just prefer

the hard stuff.

Flat

Tyre needing pumped:

no valve to find,

no mouth to blow,

no air to cushion

the weight one must travel with.

Push those pedals with bleeding feet;

every flat revolution

doesn’t get you far,

Rubber treads too close to the rim,

and now buckled spokes

rut and score

making travel

a weary

near impossible exercise

To A Supporter

No protest or brave defiance there:

just the drunken fall

of her piss on a cenotaph

followed by a sexual act.

You applauded this wildness,

and yes, we didn’t support the war,

but there is no glory here

in supporting idiocy;

and if you respect my right to disagree

with the words you type

do you mind if I come over

and piss of your keyboard?

Dualism

  With a Cartesian knife  I detach your mind from your body  and only yearn for one;  unable to tell which is the better half,  tonight I am unsure.  On previous days,  I thought with my mind  and wanted yours to rub against,  expected the resulting friction  to fire off creative sparks.  Or I ran with my body  and sought out your flesh;  this experiment was as much  an examination of my own skin  as it was on yours.  Right now,  I feel there will never be a union,  as my mind and body  will not allow  us to come together.

Best Viewed From Behind

You said you were an open girl,  legs open to free your mind,  from behind  or whatever worked on any chosen night.  But with your ass in the air,  and your face to the pillow,  your view of the world  isn't much to see.
