Channelling my inner Sofia… Picture it Sicily 2011

Barack Obama was president, The Dallas Mavericks won their first NBA championship in franchise history, beating the Miami Heat 105-95.

We paid a ticket price of $7.93 to go see Captain America, the First Avenger.  Fast Five, Thor, X-Men First Class and Green Lantern.

On the boob tube, we watched Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Sons of Anarchy, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Always Sunny, Community, Modern Family and Raising hope.

If you were a kid in 2011, on Saturday Morning Cartoons were not a thing and we’re sorry you missed out.  But you did get to watch Adventure Time, Thundercats (Reboot) Young Justice, Star Wars the Clone Wars and Archer.

Gas cost about $3.53 a gallon,  Price William and Kate Middleton said I Do, Japan is shaken up by a 9.0 earthquake and Tsunami, and the Hunger Games Books are released.

The Black Mirror is a Batman storyline featuring Dick Grayson, written by Scott Snyder with illustrations by Jock and Francesco Francavilla. Following the Impostors storyline by David Hine, it’s the final arc in the original run of Detective Comics before the series was rebooted into a second volume with Faces of Death during The New 52. It begins the Snyder’s Batman run which is continued into Gates of Gotham and The Court of Owls.

This storyline deals with the return of James Gordon Jr. after a long hiatus, reintroducing him into publication as a remorseless killer. His cold psychopathic tendencies are a sort of black mirror of the soul that Dick Grayson sees himself reflected in, they’re completely at odds as the son of Batman and the son of Gotham. Snyder also introduces several new characters including The Dealer, Roadrunner, Sonia Zucco and Tiger Shark.
