Kill the justice league, which features the last voice performance of Kevin Conroy as Batman. Star Wars Jedi Survivor game. Avatar 2. True Lies / Arnold Schwarzenegger/ Jamie Lee Curtis. Plastic surgery. Rob is understandably outraged at the price of comic books nowadays. I’ve just looked it up, and I was paying 25 pence for them when I started buying them as an eight year old in around 1979! Stamp prices.
