“The government and corporations consider themselves gods. They have the ability to make decisions that can have a significant impact on people's lives. They can use their resources to make decisions that can have global implications. They also have the ability to influence international politics.”
I really wanted to give depth to the Batman Beyond universe, which I missed so much. For example (God forgive me), the cover of the track features Dana Tan and she works for Powers Tech Corporation. I understand that this is not canon, you have the right to throw stones at me, but I think that this gives depth to this character. In any case, such creativity gives life to the community and I really hope that someday there will be a restart of the series or a feature film will be made. The rest of the album will come later.
Today we also celebrate the Holy King Wenceslas (Vyacheslav) of Bohemia. Saint Wenceslas was the grandson of Saint Ludmilla of Bohemia and was raised by her in deep piety of the Christian faith. At the young age of 18, he ascended the throne and ruled with justice and wisdom. He loved peace, and built many churches in honour of the Theotokos and the Saints, in particular Saint Vitus. Envious nobles, however, plotted to murder the Saint. They incited both his mother and brother against him, who murdered him violently at the doors of a church he himself had built. Having discarded the body without burial, they attempted to clean the blood from the church, however the blood stains on the church doors would not clean. After three days, the blood disappeared by itself, thus proving a miracle in the eyes of the saint's mother and brother. They both repented of their evil deed and transferred his holy relics to the church of Saint Vitus, whom he deeply venerated. The famous Christmas Carol "Good King Wenceslas" is in honour of this Saint and his good deeds.

"I could just separate your head from your body and solve the problem permanently. More efficient." Some bickering between Vyacheslav and Nicholai (that might be empty promises, might not be)?
“Efficiency.” The old Russian scoffs, tonguing his cigar, “I do not want my death to be… 'efficient’ .” Leaning forward, with a slight air of menace, Nicholai breathes thick, caustic smoke into his associate’s face as he raises his hand to order to more drinks.
“It has to be messy Vyacheslav…” As his palm clasps firmly around his friend’s shoulder, he bends to speak to him in a hushed tone. “Blood everywhere…” sweeping his hand, he stares forward as if imagining it in all its awful, visceral glory as he uses hand gestures to describe the scene before him. “Entrails hanging from chandeliers, eyeballs plucked from my skull, sucked clean by a mystical priestess with huge, tumultuous breasts and you Slava, hanging from the ceiling, buggered to death with your own gun.” A blast of cruel laughter erupts from the Wolf as he slowly shifts back to a safer distance; Volkov may have told Vyacheslav he hits like a girl, but they both know that isn’t the truth.
