Also, Arrow is great this week. Last week was an interesting twist on the Royal Flush Gang. This week is great. I know China White, but I'm not sure if the 'damsel in distress/tortured soul' is exclusive to the show.

I also love the little relationship/love triangle involving Ollie and Merlin. SHit's gonna get epic in a few.

Man of Steel director Zack Snyder hinted that the Superman film, due out June 14, 2013 (see "Warners Flogs 'Man of Steel'"), will lead into Warners’ Justice League (see "Warner Bros. Slates 'Justice League' Movie for 2015") in an interview with the New York Post. The Post asked Snyder whether he’d been talking to the studio "...about integrating Man of Steel into a larger superhero universe," and got a non-denial denial. "I can’t really say anything to that, because that’s a big spoiler," Snyder said. "I will say, yeah, they trust me to keep them on course."

CW's Amazon Lead Details:

Quote:

She comes from a remote, secluded country and until now has spent most of her life as a soldier and a leader on the battlefield. Because of relentless brutality of her life at home, Iris looks at our world with absolute awe and astonishment. She’s delighted and just as often horrified by the aspects of everyday life that we take for granted: skyscrapers, traffic, ice cream. It’s all new and fascinating and sometimes slightly troubling to her. Iris is completely unschooled in our world, our culture, our customs. And she’s completely inexperienced at interpersonal relationships. She has no social filter, does not suffer fools, and tends to do and say exactly what’s on her mind at all times. She’s bluntly, refreshingly honest. She can tell when you’re lying to her. And she doesn’t have time or patience for politics or tact because she’s too busy trying to experience everything our world has to offer. There are too many sights to see and things to learn and people to care for. Hers is a true, noble, and generous heart. And she will fight and die for the people she loves. Iris is a fierce warrior with the innocent heart of a romantic and she will fight to the death to make the world safe for innocents and true romantics everywhere.
Also her name is Iris, not Diana.

Nowhere Man 11-30-2012 01:57 AM

Why Iris? That just seems unnecessary.

Lock Jaw 11-30-2012 02:08 AM

Probably because they want to "save" Wonder Woman for their supposed Justice League movie, so they are just verrrry loosely borrowing some ideas for the "Amazon" show.

Nowhere Man 11-30-2012 12:22 PM

Okay, apparently, they're not changing her name to Iris, but just using a code name to try and prevent speculation. Which, considering that Wonder Woman is one of the most easily recognizable superheroes in pop-culture history, is like doing a Batman TV show and trying to keep the Bruce Wayne role a secret by changing his name to Dan.

RP 11-30-2012 12:24 PM

yah

parkmania 11-30-2012 04:25 PM

Wasn't there a "replacement" Wonder Woman for a short time in the comics? I think her name was Artemis or something?

Lock Jaw 11-30-2012 05:07 PM

I know I have seen pics of Artemis going around in a Wonder Woman costume before. No idea the context of the story, though.

Nowhere Man 11-30-2012 05:34 PM

Yeah, Artemis replaced Diana as WW for a little bit back in the 90s, and weirdly enough, Diana was her sidekick. It was very stupid.

Upset they haven't updated the show on Hulu yet. Last ep up is the Royal Flush gang one.

Hulu needs to stop playing with my emotions like this.

Manu Bennett, a fan favorite from the Spartacus TV series, will portray Slade Wilson in the CW’s Arrow TV series. As comic fans are well aware, Slade Wilson is the alter ego of Deathstroke, a major DC villain created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez in The New Teen Titans #2 in 1980. The Deathstroke character has already made an appearance on Arrow where he was seen in costume (played by another actor) in a very brief flashback scene.



Bennett will appear as Slade Wilson in multiple episodes of Arrow, some of which will include flashbacks to the South Pacific island of Lian Yu where Oliver Queen and Wilson were marooned together and formed an uneasy alliance.



According Entertainment Weekly, Wilson will continue to appear as the Gaul Crixus in the final season of the Spartacus TV series, while filming multiple episodes of Arrow for this season. No word yet on when Bennett’s Slade Wilson will shed his normal identity and get in costume as Deathstroke/Terminator. Bennett, who is from New Zealand, will also play an Orc Chieftain in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit films.

I find myself (most specifically with Bruce) picturing a combination of the "child" voices from that one episode of Justice League when they got turned into kids and those Arby's commercials where they pitch up the adult voices to make them sound like kids on a playground instead of adults in an office (for pretty much everyone else besides Clark and Diana).

Kalyx triaD 12-03-2012 03:19 PM

Yeah I imagine the JLU kids episode voices. For those that weren't there; I imagine Power Girl having a husky though less zany Honey Boo Boo voice, J'onn having a smoother low black kid's voice, Barry(Wally?) having a fast ADHD voice, and Hal having a mature toned balanced voiced.

Man of Steel costume still looking like trash. Material seems fit for Aquaman.

Kalyx triaD 12-03-2012 06:24 PM

Looks fine to me. The 'thick scuba suit' thing is kinda the norm for movie superhero costumes and even gets fair explanation in the recent Spider-Man movie. I don't think there's a way around it, unless you want something kinda whacky looking in the vein of Kick-Ass (which is telling in that his attire was almost parody).

Something more like Kick-Ass kinda materials would been cool, but sadly would never happen today.

Kalyx triaD 12-03-2012 06:41 PM

Looks silly to me, though I do like Kick-Ass.

Lil Hal and J'on playing Star Fox makes sense, and it seems there's one thing Flash isn't fast enough for.

Found it pretty lol

That was pretty good. I can buy Bane as a nutrition freak.

McLegend 12-09-2012 04:23 PM

So I got The Dark Knight Rises on Tuesday, and I still like it. The ending fight with Batman and Bane is my favorite part of the movie.

However I watched the Dark Knight yesterday it's been like 6 months since I've seen, and it is so good. The movie never slows done, and it never lets up. Just great scene after great scene.


It's the closest thing to a perfect movie. I love it so much.

Gail Simone has been let go, via email, as writer of Batgirl.

Quote:

Interestingly, when a follower tweeted at her, "Did you not put enough women in refrigerators or something?", referring to her coining of the phrase about the treatment of women in comics (Kyle Rayner's girlfriend was murdered and stuffed in his fridge). Simone simply replied, "Funny you should say that."
I've always enjoyed Simone's work, and I follow her on Twitter and Tumblr because she is one of a few creators who actively engages with her fan base. And not just in a passing, 'I'm only responding to this because I feel obligated to', sense, but one in which she often writes lengthy, well-thought-out and sometimes argumentative posts about her thoughts on gender and social issues in comics. Can't help but think that maybe the DC brass stumbled on to one of her more openly critical posts, maybe.

mitchables 12-09-2012 11:01 PM

It's a damn shame, either way.

Lock Jaw 12-09-2012 11:03 PM

Maybe she said she wanted to bring in Stephanie Brown. :shifty:
