OK so tonight’s Batman: The Brave and the Bold season premiere episode was pretty sweet - ironically, the animated series is infinitely better than the most recent incarnation of the classic comic from which it takes its name. The current volume of the Brave and the Bold has re-defined “lame” from issue 1, and with this weeks cover, it has reached an apotheosis in lame-ness.

That’s right, apotheosis. It’s a word. Look it up, you’ll en-smarten yourself.

Anyway, as nice as it is to have a decent Batman show back on the air, everybody knows that cartoon heaven happens Sunday nights at midnight, when we get new episodes of the Venture Bros.

Here’s a quick look at this week’s new Venture episode, Self-Medication.

Before you watch tonight’s new Venture Bros. episode, you may want to get your science on. And as we all learned from last week’s instant classic “Perchance to Dean”, nothing inspires super-scientific breakthroughs- such as re-growing lost hair by baking it like a shrinky-dink - quite like Progressive Rock.

Bearing that in mind - and with the caveat that prog rock of this caliber could turn you into an evil scientist if you’re not careful - I invite you to enjoy the monument to ponderousness that is King Crimson’s “Court of the Crimson King.”

Enjoy, and don’t go inventing any monstrous hunchback clones. See ya tonight at midnight, for “Return to Malice”.

Plus: Metalocalypse Season Three premiere at 12:30!
