Now onto Leather on Wings!

Rebirth? Okay like uhh Manbat’s former identity rebirthing into his creature form?

Batman has a new suit? Probably to test it out which he would then use to battle Man-bat.

Damn Batman’s beaten real bad. Wow he pulled out a gun! Never seen him do that before! Wait, the art style looks like Superman TAS…….

What?! Why does Bruce have gray hair now!? Shouldn’t-Wait.

I’m watching the first episode of Batman Beyond! A successor to New Batman Adventures and a successor to Batman The Animated Series! Don't worry that the show isn’t as questionable as New Batman Adventures.

It’s an origin story of Terry McGinnis becoming the new Batman while Bruce, now an elderly person, retired after the airport battle.

A gang inspired by Joker known as the Jokers.

Then there’s Gotham’s Lexcorp, Wayne-Powers. What’s more is that the corporation has been buying smaller businesses. Sounds familiar……

Anyway, the corporation was developing a dangerous gas that could kill people.

The worst moment was Terry’s first encounter with Bruce Wayne. Damn he’s so bitter here. Going as far into paralyzing Terry during his battle at Wayne-powers, that was until Terry reminded Bruce about his father killed by Mr. Fixx.

We're off to a great start so far!

Say hello to DC’s version of Skeletor!

The next episode Blackout comes the villain Inque, who appears to be reminiscent of Venom from- (Enough with the non-DC comparisons)-I mean Clayface from you know where. Damn it gets so brutal in some parts. Like Inque frozen in pieces. But on the bright side we get to see Barbara Gordon here!

This episode deals with the topic of discrimination and alienation.

Here a student named Willie had been dealing with a local bully Nelson and his abusive father Frank, who told Willie to hit where it hurts. That led Willie to go on a murderous rampage. Attacking Nelson with the mech GoLeM. and later Frank. Fortunately he was defeated by Terry and taken to the juvenile detention center.

It’s quite a touchy subject, even if you deeply hate someone it’s best not to harm them brutally, but hey even I would like Blade Sommer.

I would love to watch more, but I gotta go watch Batman: the Animated Series……

Vom Paradiese

Das Wort Paradies stammt vom altpersischen pairidaeza ab, einer Zusammensetzung aus pairi, "rund herum", und daeza, "Mauer". Xenophon, der das Wort als Erster erwähnt, rühmte im 5. Jh. v. Chr. nicht nur die Kriegskunst, sondern auch die Gartenbaukunst des persischen Königs Kyros des Jüngeren. "Wo immer der König sich aufhält... er sorgt für die Einrichtung sogenannter Lustgärten, in denen sich alles Gute findet, was die Erde erzeugt, dort verbringt er den größten Teil seiner Zeit." Er gab das persische pairidaeza auf Griechisch als wieder. In der ersten Bibelübersetzung stand parades für Garten. In der jüdisch-christlichen Tradition verwendet man Paradies als Synonym für den Garten Eden.

Penelope Hobhouse: Der Garten. Eine Kulturgeschichte.

Bis vor kurzem war das Schönbrunnerbad von einer Mauer umgeben, die aber wegen Baufälligkeit und Einsturzgefahr von einem japanisch anmutenden Holzzaun ersetzt wurde.

Große Sorge um das Grimme-Institut und seine Preise

Mitglieder der Nominierungskommissionen und Jurys der Grimme-Preise appellieren in einem Schreiben an die Gesellschafter des Grimme-Instituts, das Institut und seine Preise zu schützen und zu stärken. Zu den Gesellschaftern gehören unter anderem das Land NRW, der WDR und das ZDF. Das Schreiben der Mitglieder ist im Folgenden dokumentiert.

Angesichts der jüngsten Nachrichten zur wirtschaftlichen Situation des Grimme-Instituts sehen wir uns als Mitglieder der Nominierungskommissionen und Jurys des Grimme-Preises und des Grimme Online Awards in der Verantwortung, einen dringenden Appell an die Gesellschafter:innen und Aufsichtsrät:innen zu richten.

Die aktuellen Nachrichten aus Marl sind ein Schock: Ein Drittel der Arbeitsplätze im Institut soll wegfallen. Das ist nicht nur für die Betroffenen katastrophal, die betriebsbedingten Kündigungen werden auch den Kernauftrag des Grimme-Instituts schwächen: die Preise. Ohne starkes Grimme-Institut gibt es keine starken Preise, keinen Grimme-Preis und keinen Grimme Online Award. Und ohne starke Preise ist das Grimme-Institut in Gefahr.

Das darf nicht passieren.

Die Preise des Grimme-Instituts zeichnen Qualitätsfernsehen und andere hochwertige Medieninhalte aus. Beiträge, deren Bedeutung in Zeiten, in denen Fehlinformationen bewusst gestreut und benutzt werden, um Menschen zu manipulieren, gar nicht hoch genug eingeschätzt werden kann. Wer die Preise schwächt, handelt gesellschaftlich fatal.

Das Besondere an den Auszeichnungen des Grimme-Instituts ist die unabhängige transparente Preisfindung. Wir sind stolz und dankbar, Teil davon sein zu dürfen, und wir wissen: Dieser komplexe Prozess kann nur dann weiterhin stattfinden, geschweige denn diesen höchsten Maßstäben genügen, wenn die Rahmenbedingungen stimmen. Die sehen wir schon seit einigen Wochen und nun ganz akut in größter Gefahr.

Die Nominierungskommissionen Fiktion und Information & Kultur des Grimme-Preises haben die Auswirkungen der Sparmaßnahmen bereits zu spüren bekommen. Konkret: die Entlassungen der beiden Assistent:innen und damit das Wegfallen von zwei Schlüsselpositionen im ohnehin notorisch unterbesetzten Grimme-Preisreferat. In der Vorbereitung auf die zweite Sichtungswoche im November waren die Abläufe bereits gestört. In den kommenden Wochen und Monaten, wenn noch mehr Gremien gleichzeitig Nominierungen und Preisträger:innen bestimmen, wird sich das zuspitzen.

Beim Festakt zum 50. Jubiläum des Grimme-Instituts wurde von vielen Seiten die Bedeutung des Instituts und speziell des Grimme-Preises als bekanntesten Preis des Instituts betont, gar von einem „Gralshüter der Qualität“ war die Rede. Dem müssen auch Taten folgen. Die Preise des Grimme-Instituts sind die renommiertesten in der Branche.

Wir appellieren dringend an die Träger:innen des Grimme-Instituts, eine adäquate finanzielle Ausstattung inklusive Assistenzstellen zu gewährleisten, um das Institut und seine Preise zu schützen. Die Qualitätsdiskussion am Grimme-Institut ist einzigartig und ein wertvoller Baustein der Kulturförderung und politischen Bildung in Deutschland. Das Institut und seine Preise müssen geschützt und gestärkt werden. Ihre Arbeit ist wichtiger denn je.
