Another 50 images of kicks in the head

Today is Gotham Calling’s second anniversary, so you know what that means…

Another year of compiling lists with questionable suggestions, writing down geeky rants and factoids, and thinking way too long about the characters, creators, and politics of Batman comics (plus posting a handful of unrelated stuff) as society collapses around us and the universe continues inexorably to expand.

Before this year’s compilation of loud, acrobatic bat-kicks, however, I just want to thank everyone who encouraged me to continue with this project, either in person or via generous online comments (and yes, I know I suck at replying). To quote the TV show, the worst is yet come.

And now, please enjoy the mindless violence and, once again, dig the classy sound effects!
