I actually kinda liked Static Shock, so I'm rather disappointed to see it go.

Also, hooray for Power Girl getting her own comic again and not just being reduced to Mr. Terrific's girlfriend.

On the other hand......do we really need another goddamn Batman comic? We've already got about 1 in 3 of the New 52 as Gotham titles.

The CW will order a pilot for a one hour live action Green Arrow series, according to Deadline. The series is written and executive produced by Greg Berlanti & Marc Guggenheim (Green Lantern), with Andrew Kreisberg (Fringe). The pilot will likely be directed by David Nutter, who directed the Smallville pilot (which was picked up by the CW for a long run) and episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Game of Thrones, and non-genre series like Shameless and Entourage.

Green Arrow was actually a long-running character on Smallville, portrayed by Justin Hartley (who’s not attached to this new project).

The plan is to put the character in a new world not based on the DC comics.

CW has been searching for a replacement for its long-running Smallville series, which recently ended (see “Complete ‘Smallville’ DVDs’).

"Hey let's have Green Arrow, a DC superhero, but without him in a DC world."

Lock Jaw 01-16-2012 04:46 PM

Until a few seasons pass, then we can just turn the show into random guest stars from the DC Universe showing up.

DaveBrawl 01-16-2012 05:41 PM

Well if they're going with this idea then Halle Berry's Catwoman should make an appearance.

A Green Arrow show? Hmmph... that's sure to put butts in seats.

blake639raw 01-18-2012 12:27 PM

Has anybody heard the latest on when the Green Lantern Animated Series starts up again?

Kalyx triaD 01-18-2012 01:43 PM

Starts up again?

blake639raw 01-18-2012 07:21 PM

Well, they released 2 episodes already late last year.

Kalyx triaD 01-18-2012 07:59 PM

Oh ████.

Reavant 01-19-2012 12:25 AM

why are all the swear words blocked out?

Reavant 01-19-2012 12:28 AM

nevermind i figured it out

Lock Jaw 01-19-2012 01:29 PM

Don't know why you would have asked the question in a DC Comics thread of all places.

Anyways, to keep in line with their ████py new direction, DC has unveiled a ████py new logo:

They've also got "custom" ones for specific books:

(Note the Watchmen one, which fuels more into the rumors of a prequel that have been going around)

Captain of Fun 01-20-2012 01:48 AM

Holy shit that logo is awful.

Valiant had a better logo than that.

Captain of Fun 01-20-2012 01:49 AM

Holy shit, I can say shit again!

Nowhere Man 01-20-2012 02:03 AM

That is just.....awful. Seriously. That's just embarrassing. Not to mention unnecessary. I mean, Marvel seems to have gotten by pretty well with their logo just being the word "MARVEL" in big blocky letters. And it's not like there's anything wrong with the current DC logo. Or the one before that, really.

Also, if there is any truth to the rumors of a Watchmen prequel, I will personally murder Dan DiDio.

Captain of Fun 01-20-2012 10:04 AM

It looks like some random low budget office logo.

Destor 01-22-2012 07:59 AM

Eww...

Destor 01-22-2012 08:00 AM

So at what point does DC go out of buisness and start selling off their trademarks?

Kalyx triaD 01-22-2012 02:24 PM

Never. WB does good by them.

Lock Jaw 01-22-2012 08:42 PM

Better question is when they give up on "The New 52" and go back to the old universe and tout a "Return to the Classic!"

Destor 01-22-2012 08:43 PM

about 4 weeks before the file bankrupt?

Destor 01-22-2012 08:43 PM

so 2 months-ish?

Nowhere Man 01-22-2012 10:29 PM

As much as it annoys me, DC's sales have actually been up significantly since the reboot. So I doubt they're going to be throwing in the towel any time soon.

Destor 01-22-2012 10:32 PM

those are morbid curiosity sales tho, they cant last

Kalyx triaD 01-23-2012 12:27 AM

I wouldn't mind them going back to the classic universe, and keeping DCnU as a new parallel Earth.

Nowhere Man 01-23-2012 12:30 AM

I honest-to-God would have gladly accepted the DCnU if they had packaged it as a parallel universe like Ultimate Marvel. It's the fact that this new continuity also went out of its way to take everything we'd already known and say "nope, didn't happen" that annoys the hell out of me.

Lock Jaw 01-23-2012 04:40 PM

Please tell me that is not the actual actor.

Kalyx triaD 01-23-2012 07:36 PM

It's him. He looks goofy here but I think he can pull it off.

Lock Jaw 01-23-2012 08:16 PM

Hate his face and hair.

Lock Jaw 01-23-2012 08:17 PM

I would not trust that man alone with my child.

Kalyx triaD 01-23-2012 09:20 PM

But he's Superman.

Lock Jaw 01-23-2012 11:29 PM

Exactly, so he should look like I should be able to trust him.

Captain of Fun 01-25-2012 02:09 AM

He looks like a traveling salesman. Horrid.

Destor 01-25-2012 09:22 AM

why have the past two supermen been really scrawny?

parkmania 01-25-2012 05:19 PM

Because Vince McMahon made steroids a dirty word.
