Plots:
First Movie: Bruce Wayne was a child who lived happily with a wealthy family, but one day Bruce's parents were killed in an alley. He was raised by a butler, Alfred Pennyworth (played by Sean Connery), and eventually, Bruce became The Batman. In his very first crime to fight, he faced a group of thugs in Ace Chemical Plant, featuring a man named Jack, a comedian with a troubled past... In the fight with the gang, Jack fell into a vat of chemicals, the punchline of his joke life. Months later, Police Commissioner "Jim Gordon" brought a case to Batman, about a man in clown makeup, murdering the innocent... Batman investigates the crime, which comes to a shocking conclusion, involving the fatality of this clown...
Second Movie: Batman continues to save Gotham from it's troubles, whilst we learn about the backstory of Edwardo Nygma (look at my last post). Meanwhile, we learn about a young man named Dick Grayson, who works at a local restaurant, "The Ice Burg Lounge", run by an "Oswald Cobblepot". While we learn all of this, a new criminal is afoot...! Going by the name "The Riddler". Batman must find the identity of this "Riddler", and take him down! But, the answers harder to find then you'd think... But luckily, The Dark Knight can solve it! Batman finds the true culprit, and faces them in a final duel, before The Riddler is put in prison...
Third Movie: "Victor Fries" is a scientist, who's been secretly working on a cure to heal his diseased wife. Unfortunately, the boss of the organization Victor works at finds out, and punishes him. In the punishment, he froze Victors wife to death, and exposed Victor to radiant chemicals by accident! The boss fled the scene, but Victor was left alive, with bleached white skin. He created a containment suit to keep himself alive, and a freeze ray to do to his boss what they did to Victor's wife. Meanwhile, Batman stops a group of thugs, with Dick Grayson as a witness. Later, Dick finds Batman and asks to join them, to fight alongside Batman. He explains how his parents died back when he lived in a circus, and wants to do what he can to make the world a better place. Batman agrees to this, and makes a suit for Dick, who now goes by the name of "Robin". Batman and Robin are told by Gordon to go after an armored murderer, who turns out to be Fries, and the duo take him down!
Fourth Movie: Harvey Dent is a mentally troubled man, who three times a week goes to a therapy session with "Dr. Johnathan Crane". Harvey has had multiple personality disorder for the majority of his life, but one day... Harvey snapped. Harvey was in a therapy session when he suddenly attacked Crane, and Crane tried to defend himself! He splashed a cup of chemicals used for chemotherapy on his face, melting the flesh, and bleaching his hair! But... Only have of his face. He wanted vengeance, and only went more into madness due to him quitting therapy. He committed crimes, killed people, injured people, etc. But to keep himself contained, he did everything he did based off of the flip of a coin. Soon, Batman and Robin find out about these crimes. They eventually find Harvey and put him in prison, but soon in an interrogation found out how he was scarred... The duo looked for Crane, and found him in his therapy room. Crane pulled a crank on a vial, filling the room with his "fear toxin". They have a final battle, and it ends with Crane going to prison for crimes he kept hidden for several weeks...
Fifth and Final Movie: Batman and Robin go after a group of thugs, but Robin gets injured... He comes to the realization that crime fighting is too dangerous, and retires from being Robin. Batman then sits alone in his manor... He realizes somethings... off. Later, he finds out Alfred was missing! But, he had no leads, no evidence other than Alfred not being there, etc. Batman goes out to fight another group of thugs, but this time they get away. Batman sits in his manor again, wondering why everything's going downhill. Meanwhile, there's a subplot about the life of a child, growing up in prison. He gets stronger and stronger as he gets older, and he soon finds out about Batman in prison. He is interested, and makes it his life goal to break out of prison and defeat this "Batman". This guy eventually breaks out, with the help of someone going by the name of "Catwoman". She also deals some drugs to them, as well as some armor. The drugs were something called "Venom", a liquid that could make you stronger. The man puts on the suit, and takes the drugs. He now goes by the name "Bane". Bane finds Batman in his manor, and fights him. Batman is very weak, as he is going through a sever feeling of depression, especially more so due to the face that Bane reveals he murdered Alfred..! Bane then breaks Batman's back!!! After Batman's defeated, Bane flees the scene. Eventually, Batman gets a message. It tells him to go to an area of Gotham (the city they live in) that they never heard of... They went there... They found Bane in the area! However, another man came in... It's... The Joker!!! The clown man from the first film! He injects himself with venom, and becomes stronger than ever! They are about to fight, but not before someone else came in... Someone calling themselves "Nightwing". Batman knew who it was... It was Dick! They fought the Joker, and once he was defeated, Nightwing grappled away. The Joker gets back up, back to normal size... He states that he faked his death and came back because he felt incomplete with a life without Batman... Batman completed him. However, The Joker then said that Batman was going to be gone someday, and Joker didn't want to live in a world without him, and killed himself. The franchise ends with Batman standing on a rooftop, alone...

Time for something different, so how about Lego Pokemon?
This is for a small contest on Mocpages, where I have to make a 6 Pokemon team in minifig size.
Here is just a small patch of landscape featuring a road and grass that is most commonly found in Pokemon games.
Don't go into the grass!!
Up next is the warrior Gallade from the Sinnoh region. His sword-like arms plus his duo type (Psychic/Fighting) makes him an instant pick for my team.
With the combination of green and teal katana's, Gallade is certainly my favorite.
This Fire / Fighting type Pokemon is a skilled warrior of martial arts and uses it's muscular legs for attacks such as "Blaze Kick".
Blaziken's arms resemble chicken feet, as he uses them to subdue it's opponents with moves like "Close Combat".
I think Blaziken is just about minifig-size, and was surprisingly easy to come up with.
I've been publishing a lot of Fred's posts lately to my blog, but only because there are a lot of important stories to cover as the situation unfolds in real-time. In particular, with this latest post I aim to shed light on one of the overlooked stories originating from the Fred's saga, that of the chain's final 11 franchised locations and their unfortunate fate. In addition to briefly discussing the history of Fred's franchise program and sharing details on each of the final 11, the post features an extensively-photographed tour of the Munford, TN, franchised Fred's store - which closes for good today, Saturday, July 27, 2019. Please feel free to give it a read at this link!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
I am completely unfamiliar with the new Pokemon, but have attempted to make the popular Samurott.
Very much like a samurai and sea lion, this guy is covered with shell-like armor and can reveal hidden two swords.
He glares at his opponents to silence them and then attacks. I think I'm taking a liking to him too.

So first up is the juggernaught Magmortar, the evolved form of Magmar.
This guy has a high Sp.Atk rate and can unleash consuming flame from it's arms that act as cannons.
Don't want to mess with him.
Next is the wild Infernape. One of the Sinnoh starters, this flaming monkey can
be used as a mixed sweeper to quickly dominate over it's opponents.
With his fiery nature, Infernape is said to be most competitive when it comes to speed.
Back view.
Another favorite is Feraligatr, the bulky crocodilian Pokemon.
He is most notably known for his battle-like stature, as well as his powerful jaw.
Feraligatr moves faster in water than in land, then brutally attacks its opponents by dragging them down into the depths.
Skarmory is a Steel / Flying type that is covered in a metallic armor, even it's wings. The wings also serve as sharp swords or knives.
They are highly territorial and attacks anyone who threatens them.
Once I saw his wings, I instantly thought of these spikes www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=64727.
Unfortunately I couldn't get his body-shape so that's why he looks a bit pudgy.
Seen on a motorway service station stop. Taken with my 'phone then given 4 levels of posterisation. Very American signage!
Independent Grocers Alliance was founded in 1926. It's not the oldest supermarket franchise chain, Piggly Wiggly is. But it is the most international.

Supanova Expo, Sydney Olympic Park, Sydney, Australia (Saturday 16 June 2018)
In a skoosh over 12 hours, we will know who has won the Wales and Borders franchise to commence in October.
Of the two companies in the race, MTR and Keolis, neither strikes me as a particularly good bet, MTR might be rather good at operating the Hong Kong Metro, that I don't doubt. But the Hong Kong Metro is a world away from the Conwy Valley or the Heart of Wales. Literally and metaphorically.
And Keolis (for Keolis, read SNCF in a arms length manner). Keolis might be particularly good at operating trams in Melbourne and Nottingham. But Melbourne and Nottingham... well, you get the picture.
I've said it a thousand times already, but I don't hold out much hope of anything exciting happening. Not at least if you should happen to be any more than 20 miles from Cardiff anyway. The rest of us are going to be riding round in unsuitable, hand me down crap DMU's from elsewhere for the next decade and a half I would think. As in Scotland and the West Country, HST GTi would be a great fit, as would an add-on order to the TPX mk5's, as would some re-purposed mk4's that might be going for a song in a year or two.
But I expect none of those options. Just somebody's cast off's, maybe 170's, possibly the most unsuitable long distance DMU created. Then again, the damned things probably don't have enough grunt to make it up Llanvihangel bank.
There's much talk of spare 185's as well. Yes, Llanvihangel wouldn't be an issue. But if anyone should try to tell you that a 185, with it's stupidly thirsty tendencies and it's icy blasts through the entire carriage every time a door is opened, is a better option than the present 175's and mk3's, then check their pulse. They are probably dead. And if they are actually alive, have them sectioned for the greater good.
Oh, and don't get too excited. We'll find out the name of the winner tomorrow. But we'll be told bugger all else for at least another 10 days.
That's to allow the losing bidder time to have a hissy fit and threaten to sue pretty much everyone in Wales.
Me personally, if I was the losing bidder? I think I'd be out on the piss, celebrating a very, very near miss...
Stay tuned.
67020, Rhyl, 18 April 2018.
News has broken.
Hushed silence...
Nothing on who the new operator will be, although rumour has it that Calamitous Carwyn is to make the announcement in FMQ's to the Senedd next week.
But there's rolling stock news, 120 ATW leased vehicles, 48 class 158 cars and 72 class 150 cars are going to get the new toilets, wheelchair space and door mods, also the Welsh Assembly is throwing £200k to Arriva (or their successor) to install tanking facilities at Machynlleth depot.
Ken Skates, minister for stuff that no-one's even heard of, smarmed the following...
'We are pleased to see the work starting on the improvement of the passenger facilities on these trains, ensuring all 120 carriages meet the accessibility requirements prior to 2020. Our investment into enhanced facilities at Machynlleth depot will ensure that the class 158 trains continue to be maintained locally to the route and passengers they predominantly serve.'
So Kenny boy, you think with all the other work currently in progress to make stock compliant, someone somewhere is going to be able to slot your 120 in? And finished by 31 December 2019? I'll bet you a tenner that it's doesn't work out that way. That would mean a vehicle every 4.5 days. From today. No...
But hang on kids, there's more.
Tom Joyner, MD of on their way down the road Arriva Trains Wales...
'We are passionate about making rail travel accessible for everyone, no matter what their mobility needs.
We have worked hard to deliver a comprehensive plan for these trains and customers can look forward to enjoying these benefits soon.
This investment will go a long way to achieving those goals and shows a commitment to leave the rail industry in the best possible position at the end of the Arriva Trains Wales franchise.'
We are passionate blah blah blah, usual corporate bull. We have worked hard etc etc.
Yeah, two questions. Firstly, why were you not working hard and passionate when you first got wind of this? In 2013?
And secondly, what about the rest of the fleet? If Wales wakes up to a fleet of 120 modernised coaches on 1 January 2020, which they won't because they won't all be finished by then, services are going to be few and far between.
What of the Pacers? That toilet lockout looks more likely day by day, this does nothing to weaken that point of view. Fact, the Pacers won't be modded. Fact, there will be no new stock for the Valleys by then. So...
What of the 175's, Wales so called premium long distance train? Even they need some work doing.
Then there's the fleet of mk3's, the 153's...
One thing that does become clear though, and that affects you lucky lot on the Cambrian. Your 30 year old class 158's might well be with you for some time to come. Maybe as much as another 15 years.
Whoopee. Said no-one.
Non-compliant trains at Rhyl, 67020 on the WAG to Holyhead, and although 158832 thinks it's going to Holyhead, 1G76 in fact goes to Birmingham New Street...

Location: Myrtle Avenue, near London Heathrow Airport (LHR/EGLL), UK.
