Even if you missed "The Big Bang Theory" last night, you can still catch Geoff Johns' post about the Star Sapphire appearance that occurred. The CBS show is known for its geek-friendly T-shirts, and the Sapphires' symbol from "Green Lantern" certainly sounds like a sensible fit.
Elsewhere, there was a hilarious exchange this morning between the "Blue Beetle" creative team which should serve as a lesson to writers everywhere about treating your penciler with the utmost respect and consideration when planning your scripts. Don't worry, though, it was all in good fun — as was Stan Lee's desire to appear in a Batman film and Bryan Lee O'Malley's claim to inspiring DC's new "Earth One" OGN format.
