Yes in the DCAU Wayne/Babs is canon. It was mostly hinted to a brief thing that Wayne probably regretted.

A Batman Beyond episode and the Batwoman special movie had the biggest allusions to the pairing.

Lol that scene was perfect. Also, Bruce had to have in his 40s there right? Banging a hot 18 year old? The God damn Batman, indeed.

Kalyx triaD 07-24-2016 07:21 PM

In the same movie he ended up with a chick who seems just a lil older than Babs.

By that movie Babs must be 20-ish. Her and Dick were established in the DCAU a bit older than their teenage comic start.

It also sells Bruce and Dick's major beef that never even got resolved in 'Beyond.

I loved the DCAU. It needed a few more seasons dammit.

According to Batman series writer Tom King, Batman will be forming his own Suicide Squad-like team as part of the upcoming new storyline arriving this Fall.

She pretty much raped him in the Killing Joke....hot cartoon scene.

Lock Jaw 08-04-2016 08:08 PM

Viewed The Killing Joke. Worth it just to hear Mark Hamil singing.......

The beginning is weird because it is like a 20 minute (or so it seemed) bit focusing on Batgirl as the main character before it launches into the "real story". From there is is pretty much the comic book, and I think I would rather read it, but there are definitely cool moments (mainly hearing Mark Hamil as Joker saying some of these lines)

So apparently Wonder Woman is gay according to the writer who's taking over her comic (DC themselves are saying she's bi so they don't have to change the stuff in the movies apparently.) Cue the overreactions from people who haven't even read comics in years/never read Wonder Woman to begin with.

Lock Jaw 09-30-2016 09:49 PM

Already an overreaction, because he never said that she was gay. More like the whole concept just doesn't exist to her.

On an Island where no one but women are allowed what is expected?
My expectations is that she is Demisexual.

-an individual who does not experience sexual attraction unless they have formed a strong emotional connection with another individual. Often within a romantic relationship.

Lock Jaw 09-30-2016 10:23 PM

I'm interested to see if/how Supergirl is placed in the FlArrow universe. Imagine Flashpoint will have something to do with it.

Lock Jaw 10-02-2016 03:18 AM

I figure it will still be it's own world, but with more interworld travel happening....

Wishbone 10-02-2016 05:40 AM

Kinda hope that isn't the case. Feels like it'd be a waste to do the Flashpoint storyline and not use it to do anything substantial. I mean we all know they're not gonna mix up Flash or Arrow very much with this cause A) CW doesn't have the balls for that, and B) it'd probably turn off a lot of fans if everything just "reset" or something. The only thing I can think of that could come out of such an event is a merging of universes which would also allow Flash and Arrow to start featuring alien characters in their shows too. Just seems like the logical next step to me.

agreed, 'green lanterns' is excellent. simon & jess are both great, and that scene in the most recent issue with her ring taking on human qualities because she talks to it is freaking adorable. phantom ring storyline is really strong but the whole book has been great so far.

also really loving both 'action comics' and 'superman' -- which is new for me because i've never been a massive superman fan. i've always liked him but never on the level that i've loved batman and the flash, for example -- but i am loving him at the moment. something really... comforting about dad-superman, i think. and lois is ridic awesome across the board, good to have her back. glad we're getting to jon & damian stuff too now, i think their series should be a lot of fun.

whole rebirth initiative has been great, actually. loved the first arc of 'detective comics' especially. that book has been really solid to date. 'green arrow' really good too. 'trinity' is cool also. 'batman' actually one of the weaker books imo. 'justice league' getting better. 'the flash' started kinda middling but has its strong points, esp lately.

anyway yeah haven't been so excited for new comics so regularly in a very long time. good stuff.

Fignuts 11-19-2016 05:02 AM

Oh look at that. One of the only continuities they didn't fuck with has been consistently one of the best.

Shocker.

Lock Jaw 11-19-2016 11:47 AM

I've been slowly catching up on DC Comics. Feel like it took me a few years to "get over" the new 52 reboot.

Since then I have caught up on New 52:
- Superman books
- Justice League books
- Green Lantern books
- Aquaman
- The Flash
- Wonder Woman
- Currently working on the million Batman books

So in Rebirth I am keeping up with the same (except haven't started the Batman Rebirth titles yet)

I find the whole Superman thing causes more problems than it "solves".

They "brought back" the "classic" Superman..... except that he isn't "classic" because he is an "outsider" who is completely stripped of his supporting cast. He has no relationship with this world's Lana/Perry/Jimmy, etc...... and then sometimes the other heroes act like they have known him for years, and sometimes they act like he is a stranger who they can't trust yet.......

Feel like this whole "Mr. Oz" thing, along with general "Rebirth" mysteries, will have to lead to Superman/Lois being revealed that they are from this Earth all along, and then everyone remembers....... Just feel like they really still have to clean up this whole Superman mess......

Wonder Woman Rebirth seems to be what they should have done with Superman..... slightly tweaked the character, new costume, tweaked the character history a bit, brought her back into a relationship with Steve Trevor.... but still acknowledging that this is the New 52 Wonder Woman....

Maybe they'll spend the first half of the movie establishing why Grayson left the robin mantle.

So, they just cleaned up the Superman mess..... "classic" Superman and "New 52" Superman revealed to have been "split" somehow, and now they have been rejoined, and history "rewritten" to be "correct". So everyone will "remember" that they have always been Superman/Lois and they are not "outsiders" from "another Earth/dimension" anymore......

Now they just need to bring at least Ma Kent back to life/existence.... (in my opinion)

New event series Dark Knights: METAL sounds cool IMO.



https://i2.wp.com/cdn.batman-news.co...7/04/Metal.jpg



DARK NIGHTS: METAL

Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, along with DC Publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio, just announced that their highly anticipated event, DARK NIGHTS: METAL, will rock comics this summer.


“I’ve been planning METAL for as long as I’ve been writing BATMAN,” says Snyder. “But this is bigger than BATMAN. Greg and I started dropping clues during Court of Owls, we continued through our Joker stories and we placed our biggest hints in the run that culminated with BATMAN #50. And now we’re back to tell a story that breaks everything apart. This will be the definitive project of our careers. METAL takes us in an entirely new direction. Greg and I will dig beneath the surface of all the stories we’ve told to find a place of terror and twisted nightmares.”

DC’s new summer blockbuster publishing plans complement DC Universe Rebirth, which is filled with stories about superheroes that push characters beyond their potential to a place where their courage is tested and they persevere in the face of evil. DARK NIGHTS: METAL will examine every choice a hero doesn’t take and every path they don’t walk, and open up worlds that are forged by nightmares.

“I want METAL to be built upon the stories happening now in Rebirth and create new material that feels really modern and different,” continued Snyder. “And above all, it’s going to be fun. Even with terror and nightmares, it won’t be grim. DARK NIGHTS: METAL will be celebratory, huge and crazy. I’ve said it before: I am going for out-of-control dinosaurs and lasers.”

DARK NIGHTS: METAL is DC at its most heroic, clashing with titans of terror from realms yet to be explored. Look for the first issue on shelves in August 2017.

Hmmm. The live action movie was pretty much a panel-by-panel/shot-by-shot adaptation minus the "Tales of the Black Freighter", and a slightly different (better IM0) ending/reveal.

The question is does she do her 'normal' voice and lose the name value, or her Big Bang voice and sound stupid.

Her big bang voice is just that. Is there not video previews for this already online?

Rebirth has been killing it!

Jessica Cruz has become my ComicBook Alicia Fox

Everyone needs to read Aquaman.

I hate that Batwoman hasn't gotten even more attention shes so fucking fun to read.

Batman Beyond that is all

Justice League of America looks promising

Wonder Woman keeping her convoluted history and straighting it out god(s) yes.


Any recent outing with Suicide Squad wouldve done way better as a film than what we got


Teen Titans is about to make Young Justice fans happy AF.

Lock Jaw 04-24-2017 08:07 PM

Aquaman is also great....

Haven't read Batwoman..... really mean to read it, but haven't got around to it yet.....

Same with Batman Beyond.....

Justice League of America does seem "promising".... characters who don't have their own series being in it means that they can actually have "character growth" and "changes" happen in the book....

Been loving Wonder Woman Rebirth...... Greg Rucka is leaving after issue 25, though..... which makes me sad..... he's been doing such a good job at essentially "resetting" Wonder Woman, and I was hoping for a long run full of world building for Wonder Woman.......

Also I'm afraid I can't trust media on WW reviews. After the dramatics over Luke Cage and Iron Fist they can't be trusted reviewing a female led super hero film. I'd wanna hear from you guys. Reviews are dead to me mostly.

Fignuts 05-21-2017 05:25 PM

Man, when is DC gonna wise up and put together their own equivalent of marvel unlimited. Money on the table.

Ezra 05-22-2017 12:24 AM

Does anyone have a place to get the flash/Batman/watchmen comic arc? Really wanting to check these out.

Luke Cage was ok and Iron fist just outright sucked

were they heaping praise on them or something?

Kalyx triaD 05-22-2017 01:13 AM

They overly praised Luke Cage because #Woke. And overly vilified Iron Fist because #CulturalAppropriation (LOL). I was already soured on professional reviews for years, but seeing how personal politics have screwed over the few sites I still read reviews on I can't even trust good or bad reviews or hearsay from the such sites or people on that spectrum. IGN gave the recent Tarzan movie a demerit for perpetuating 'White Savor Syndrom'. Holy shit, really? Ghost in the Shell was dragged thru the mud for casting the biggest female actress today in a role they felt should have been Asian.

So while I'm glad that WW could in fact turn around DCEU's quality slump, I have to be aware that today's culture critics will inflate their reviews based on shallow shit. Terms like pace and structure are being replaced by 'importance' and 'relevance'. Jesus.

Fignuts 05-22-2017 05:12 AM

Best part about the whole white washing asian roles deal is that literally no one in asia gives a shit. Japan praised Scarlet Johansan in GitS. It's all white people bitching about it.

Kalyx triaD 05-22-2017 07:15 PM

Zack Snyder's daughter committed suicide [back in March] and he's off Justice League. Joss Whedon (who recently signed to do Batgirl) will finish the film, possibly reshoot it.

This is totally fucked and whatever misgivings I had about the guy this is tragic. I wouldn't be surprised if he was done directing anything for a while.

Destor 05-22-2017 07:26 PM

Ignoring Snyders personal woes (becuase they are intensely private and i have nothing to contribute) Joss taking over is the best thing that could have happend for DC and Warner but i feel awful for Joss after he went over to work on more "low pressure" films

Destor 05-22-2017 07:27 PM

Respect for him stepping up to the mound tho

Lock Jaw 05-22-2017 07:33 PM

Joss isn't actually going to be doing much. Just finishing up the last couple of shoots and sticking to the outline/tone that Snyder has set.

Kalyx triaD 05-22-2017 08:09 PM

If the movie gets pushed back he absolutely reshot it. But in any case yeah, this is a good pick up for DC however sad.

Iron Fist the guy they got to play him is just...ugh. Skin color wasn't my concern. I was far more interested in everyone else around him and the show overall was just a chore to get through.

Lock Jaw 05-22-2017 08:52 PM

I enjoyed Iron Fist..... Luke Cage was a chore to get through.....

Luke Cage started off rough for me (it was pretty much background noise while I worked) Luke Cage himself isn't what actually made me start paying attention it was the Mayor.

Blonde Moment 05-22-2017 10:09 PM

Both shows had issues for different reasons but were still pretty good. For me Luke Cage has a few pacing issues that made it tough to get through while the actor playing Danny Rand just didn't fit the role to me. He looked just average.

Lock Jaw 05-22-2017 10:27 PM

Anyways, how about them DC Comics?

Dark Nights: Metal seems like it will be fun..... I have no idea what it is all about, but it is promised to be fun.....

KIRA 05-22-2017 10:30 PM

Rebirth:The Button. That is all I have to say.

slik 05-22-2017 11:18 PM

I enjoyed Rebirth: The Button and I look forward to Dark Knight: Metal

Bryan Singer appearently has better things to do: instead of moving on to the next Superman feature, he's working on a 'thriller' with Tom Cruise starring. Odd, he seemed so down with Supe's that I thought he'd start out on the next one atleast at a pace faster than the gap between X1 and X2. It must be noted that Singer has a history of finding better things to do. There were rumors that the next Superman would be shelved and JLA (see below) would kick a kick-start early with Brandon Routh starring. Those rumors were quickly dissolved with the powers to be saying the next Superman (rumored to called "Man of Steel") is going just fine, with Metallo and Brainiac as possible villains. The gun-turrent dude from 'Returns (Eye-of-Steel scene) may even have been John Corben...

Kate Bosworth may not return.

Batman Begins Sequel:

Most of us are pretty much up to speed here: The movie will be called "The Dark Knight" with the most talked about news being Jokers inclusion as the central villain. Joker ofcourse is being bought to us by Heath Ledger with a darker edge about the character than the stuff we've already seen. The movie should begin production right about now, with a release next Summer. The batsuit will be updated for anyone who cares, with an emphasis on 'cloth'. There's also talk of a Bat-Cycle, too. Cool. The theme of 'Begins was fear, and the theme for Dark Knight may be "things getting worse before they get better." They say the title also also has multiple meanings. Could Gotham City suffer some kind of mass blackout while the Joker goes on a killing spree? Note that many of Joker's earlier comic exploits usually had him pulling some city-wide crisis that Batman had to work double-time to fix. Also in the movie is Harvey Dent played by Aaron Eckhart. His inclusion reveals the villain for Batman's third feature.

Katie Holmes will not return. She's been replaced by Captain Marvel's sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Captain Marvel:

SHAZAAM!!! And with a blast of thunder, Jake Gyllenhaal (Day After Tommorrow) is most surely, very likely, gonna maybe portray Captain Marvel (one of the few characters who could beat Superman's ass without Krrrryptonite). I'm kinda definately sure of the possibility of his consideration.

Flash:

Ryan Renalds is up for the part as Wally West. For the most part I agree with this casting. They're talking about getting into the science of super-sonic speed rather than 'him running really fast'.

Wonder Woman:

Joss Whedon dropped out of the project, which disappoints me to no end. There's also talk of setting it in WW2's era. This may have been in the old comics but really... c'mon...

JLA:

Okay... WB really wants to get this thing going, abondoning their old plan of having 'the big three' set their movie franchises first then teaming them up (would've took too long anyway). I'm sure Marvel pressing for their Avengers feature has a little to do with that. Brandon Routh is definately heading up this one, but Christian Bale didn't seem likely to appear as the Bat because A) the current Batman creative team doesn't wish to merge their darker realistic Batman with a likely bright-n-epic team-up feature and B) JLA is moving on faster than the new Batman franchise can catch up with. Still, Christian Bale has said that he signed to three contracts with the last one being "some sort've team-up." It appears Batman will be on the team afterall (thank GOD). I wonder if Wonder Woman will make the team, her franchise being on the fritz. I also wonder what other heroes will make the team...

So what do you guys think? Exciting couple of years ahead?


Lock Jaw 05-29-2017 01:09 AM

10 years..... DAMN

Really wish that Superman Returns was a better movie, and had sequels.

Kalyx triaD 05-29-2017 05:11 AM

Little while ago I concluded that Superman Returns, though overly reliant on needless continuity with the Reeves movies, should have been the launch pad for a DC movie-verse. The tone was perfect.

So skinny?

Kalyx triaD 07-08-2017 12:07 AM

I wouldn't say Diana is 'skinny'. Her model depends on the artists but overall I think her most consistent body type is the 'buff yet feminine' look some artists nail well. Fit arms, broad shoulders, muscular legs, yet defined hips and of course her bust. Hardly skinny.
