This comic is so amazing.

Damian Rey 01-22-2013 08:27 AM

He's the hero Clark needs.

Kalyx triaD 01-22-2013 11:20 AM

After this arc I would love for Ollie to join in.

Man, Starman Omnibus vol 3 paperback coming out at the beginning of April. Can't wait, Tbh. Gonna wait for the release of all of these before I continue into the story. Gonna read them as they come along like it's a new series or something because I'm pathetic. :(

Damian Rey 01-22-2013 01:33 PM

Apparently the "Night of Owls" run has been graphic noveled. Really want to pick it up.

Krimzon7 01-22-2013 02:10 PM

Man, has anyone been current on Young Justice? There are so many twists and turns popping off.

It's kinda cool the way they've written off the 'Heavy Hitters' while leaving the big time bad guys here for the kids to deal with. I'm really intrigured with the relationship between Nightwing and Robin. It seems like Kaldur/Artemis is in a world of trouble. It's good to see Deathstroke!!! Theres like five forces at work here: Reach/Black Beetle, The League/Team, The Light/LOD, The Old Heads and Rimbor and Darkseid ( G Gordon is having a helluva impact on the public perception of the League). This is seriously one of the most epic cartoons ever created.

Kalyx triaD 01-22-2013 03:01 PM

The current seems like a re-imagining of the Cadmus arc from DCAU. Just in a more modern media-focused sense. It's really good. And I love the attention given to characters even the DCAU gave little attention to. I hope this universe goes beyond Young Justice. I'd watch a Justice League or Suicide Squad done in this universe.

I am not a huge fan of the Jamie Reyes Blue Beetle, but they keep pushing him hard in everything. Yet his comic book still got canceled. I do like that they have added the bit about the future and Impulse into the mix. Makes Blue Beetle slightly more interesting.

Or, conversely, awesome. I wish I could read it like I was reading it for the first time.

Gotta admit, don't remember this 'arc' you speak of. Would love to check it out and have cataloged for possible future reference. Which episodes/series did it encompass?

Blue Beetle seems a tad forced, but it's great to see somebody OTHER than the Bat Family/Supercrew get the Rub from DC. Three Beetles is just one from getting cheesy. I know they've opened the door for a Green Lantern like Corps of independent thinking Beetles, but spare me all that.

Kalyx triaD 01-22-2013 06:48 PM

Justice League Unlimited, first season. You're welcome.

Blitz 01-23-2013 12:20 AM

Some interesting possibilities re-Justice League and the DC movie universe.

This bit that showed up today should definitely be classified as rumor, but the guessing game is part of the fun, right? So I thought I'd comment on it.

Batman-On-Film is pretty reputable when it comes to insider Batman stuff. They were all over the Nolan films, for instance, always grabbing info and pics. That's one of the reasons I'm running with this rumor because it comes from them and they vouch for their source.

What they've heard is that WB isn't rushing a new Batfilm into production before Justice League, which makes a lot of sense since they'd have to be pretty far along prep and have a decent script already locked to beat the Justice League's 2015 release date. The date BOF is hearing for the first new Batman solo film is 2017.

So, the new Batman will be introduced in the Justice League and it's still not for sure they're bringing in Henry Cavill's Superman for the film. If Man of Steel flops and is terrible that could mean DC will be doing a complete reversal of Marvel's strategy and introducing everybody in a giant team movie, then spinning off into solo films.

I have a feeling Zack Snyder's Man of Steel will be good and Cavill will be good in it, so that's not too likely, but it's still a head-scratching move from DC. The template has been proven. Are they just too proud to blatantly copy Marvel or just impatient to get at that Avengers money?

Whatever the thought process is, it's make it or break it time for WB and DC. They're either risking missing the superhero craze or rushing some half-assed stuff into production.

Anyway, the rumor makes sense and could just pure educated guess speculation stuff, but still something to ponder, no?

Blue Beetle, Green Beetle, Black Beetle...we're one Red Beetle from a Big Bad Beetleborg reunion.

Nowhere Man 01-23-2013 01:33 AM

As much as I'm loving YJ, I'm really getting a little turned off by the overload of Beetles. I was really hoping the big apocalyptic future threat would be something along the lines of Darkseid (though considering that they've got bad guys using Apokoliptian tech, and G. Gordon Godfrey was one of Darkseid's lackeys in the comics, I'm sure he'll show up sooner or later), but they're really intent on selling Blue Beetle on us.

Krimzon7 01-23-2013 06:03 AM

I'll say this about Jaime Reyes...This is the most interested I've been in any of the Blue Beetles ever. I think that they've booked the Black Beetle as such a bad ass that they were literally fucked to find a way for Alpha to get outta there with out one of the Heavy Hitters (Especially since Captian Marvel was in the last episode).

I can tolerate maybe one more Beetle in all honestly. Don't wanna see another one, but one more will make me go all 'okay this is getting cheesy'.

Get the odd feeling that the Reach/Light's partnership is trying to prepare the world for Darkseid by cultivating metahumans. As if conquering him and taking over Apokalips is the endgame. I'm spit balling here, but The Reach and Darkseid could be in some type of turf war.

Damian Rey 01-23-2013 07:07 AM

I'll be 31 when the next Batman movie comes out if the 2017 release year is correct. I'm getting ddling ood. I was only 3 when Keaton's Batman came out.

Is YJ ever gonna be on dvd? I'd like to start from the beginning.

Also, the first season is indeed on DVD, albeit in like four volumes or something for some reason.

Just came here to say that the following image is total bullshit.

Why?? It's part of a legit Batman/Captain America crossover. Why is it bullshit?

Kalyx triaD 01-24-2013 12:23 PM

I think it's cute that even the Joker wouldn't work with a Nazi. It's non-canon, it's cute, let it go.

Fignuts 01-24-2013 02:47 PM

Make me.

Nowhere Man 01-24-2013 05:00 PM

The Joker is a Real American.

The final Justice League roster supposedly revealed.

Kalyx triaD 01-24-2013 05:42 PM

Hmm...

McLegend 01-24-2013 06:14 PM

I do mind a little not having Martian Manhunter, but not having Hawkman or Aquaman is fine with me.

Yale's pumping out big episodes at a crazy pace. I wonder if this is the new standard now.

mitchables 01-24-2013 07:20 PM

love the way he portrays bruce and clark. that panel of bruce's hand on clark's shoulder is fucking beautiful.

Nowhere Man 01-25-2013 12:55 AM

It seems a little odd that Aquaman was left out. I mean, yeah, he's the one that everyone jokes on and whatnot, but DC has been really big on trying to revitalize the character, what with him playing a big part in the Justice League comic and Geoff Johns making his book one of his pet projects for a while. Seems like having him kick some ass in the movie would go a long way to changing the common opinion of him.

Kalyx triaD 01-25-2013 11:40 AM

I guess they want character most likely to get new movies after the fact. I doubt Aquaman had a movie in the pipeline.

Nowhere Man 01-25-2013 08:51 PM

I really want to see this. SL always looked fascinatingly weird. Yeah, it probably would have been a train wreck, but it's certainly one of the most creative takes on Superman that I've ever seen. I'd love to see some of that concept art get added into the new series (just, y'know, not the stuff with Nicolas Cage fighting polar bears or Brainiac having a gay robot sidekick)

Tom Guycott 01-25-2013 11:44 PM

I think if that movie were actually made with all the "interesting tweaks", we would be talking about it in any conversation that the Super Mario Bros. movie is brought up in.

Kalyx triaD 01-26-2013 02:39 AM

Pretty much. I won't romanticize how 'interesting' it would have been. We would have torn it apart. Batman Forever and Batman & Robin probably sounded interesting at the conceptual level, too.

Nowhere Man 01-26-2013 03:31 AM

No, I definitely agree it would've been godawful. But now that we're pretty much guaranteed to have a good Superman movie, my morbid curiosity wants to see what it could have been.

I would love to read the script and see the production designs for that film.

I'm glad WB isn't including Cyborg inte JL film. I don't really think the character is that great but Geoff Johns sure seems to love him.

To be fair, we were "pretty much guaranteed" that Superman Returns would have been a good movie also. I actually liked it, but the point is, it was pretty well panned in spite of having a directorial genius, Kevin Spacey, and a guy who studied the nuances of Chrisopher Reeve's acting in the Donner films.

Kalyx triaD 01-28-2013 04:53 PM

I wrote this concept for a Wonder Woman TV show just to flex my creative muscle and came up with something I think could run a good two or three seasons then I got bored and erased everything.
