Trivia:
Sheldon's assertion that having Bruce Wayne know who murdered his parents destroys any motivation he has for continuing to be Batman comes directly from the works of Chuck Dixon. Dixon is one of the most prolific writers of the Batman comic books, and is the creator of the villainous character Bane (who appeared in 'Batman and Robin (1997)'). His work as a comic book writer has also been referenced in 'Punisher (2001)' and 'Batman' (1992)'.

Leonard Hofstadter:
I just wannna know why Penny is more interested in Stuart than me. We're practically the same guy!
Sheldon Cooper: Oh, I disagree. Stuart is taller, artistic, self employed and most significantly, he gets 45% off comic books.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is another episode of "The Big Bang Theory" from last season that I taped during the original air date but only catching up with right now to prepare for the season premiere on Monday. Unfortunately, this one stopped in the middle because the VHS cassette was warped during that time. Fortunately, I read the full synopsis but still, I wished I had been able to see the whole thing. Anyway, it seems Sheldon doesn't like Thai food or maybe he's flabbergasted that it's "Anything Can Happen" Thursday instead of a traditional Thursday. The others just want to get out of their rut (though Sheldon calls it "consistency") so Howard suggests bar hopping. Sheldon, however, wins (because of his being Sheldon) and they go to the comic shop even though they went there last night. Penny encounters them and asks Sheldon to get her 13-year-old nephew a comic which gets Sheldon "correcting" her on the fact (for him) that a "comic" has funny animals. Not wanting to hear any more, Penny agrees to go with them. It's there they encounter Stuart, the store's owner who's also an artist. It also seems he likes Penny and she likewise since he has a cool sense of humor. Then next night when the nerds go back to tradition, Leonard, depressed about Stuart's luck with Penny (they're seen about to attend Stuart's art gallery), tells Howard he wants to go to the bars. I'll stop there and just say it was when Stuart and Sheldon, after arguing about Batman, find Penny asleep on her couch was when the tape stopped. Otherwise, this was a very funny episode I watched and as soon as I view the rest of it, I'll add my comments here. I've got several more second season eps to watch before the season premiere so until then...
