Think about it: a bunch of hapless chancers, likeable to varying and questionable degrees, find themselves trapped in an arcane world, strange and unfamiliar to who[…]

The Case Of The Dark Knight’s Returns
It was actually quite hard to connect the Poptimizer up to a DVD player, so instead we had to float one above it by a few feet (These images will convince no-one).
