Guess they're looking at Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and thinking "Got to get us some of that pie. What's good to the kids right now? Supernatural shit? Get us something like that."

Swear to god there's an overabundance of supernatural shows on TV nowadays.

Baywatch Nights Season 2 had it right the whole time...

Why are you making it out that DC is trying to "get in on Marvel's action" after Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., when DC is the one that had a live-action TV show for ten seasons and then made another one which is also enjoying success, before Agents of Shield ever started? (To Shadow)

Because Smallville and Arrow (and the new upcoming Flash and Constantine shows) are about the actual heroes themselves, whereas Agents of SHIELD and the new Gotham series are meant to be more about the 'little guys' in a world of superheroes and villains. DC may have cornered the market on superhero TV shows first, but it's the theme that they're copying off of Marvel now, not the genre itself.

Scott Snyder is going to be leading up a new Batman weekly series called Batman: Eternal. With the help of a few of the other Bat-Writers.

STEPHANIE BROWN IS GOING TO BE IN IT

Awesome. Too bad about the Dean Cain, Brandon Routh, and Tom Welling snub - though at least Smallville got a shoutout.

Would be "cool" if they made animated movies using more "retro" style. Like imagine if the Superman/Doomsday animated movie actually looked like the comic book like in that vid.

They did try to invoke the art of the comics with earlier DC Animated films, but these days they kind of default to Young Justice style as a base and deviate from there. Can't say I'm bothered but I see what you mean.

I'm not bothered either, just saying it would be "cool".

New Frontier and The Dark Knight Returns were "cool" because they looked like the comics.

Can't wait to see if they do one for Bats next year.

Batman and Son is coming actually.

Or is he talking about a 75th anniversary 2 minute commemorative video?

Oh yeah, that would be cool too.

One thing I never really understood about the old Fleischer cartoons...why did Superman never open his eyes?

Just watched the film "Man of Steel" again. Once more, I am not sure if I like it or not.

One thing I did notice this time is that Zod abandons his armor at a Lexcorp construction site. FORESHADOWING?!

Hmmm...

Amazon's got ten Batman "family" collections up for three bucks each asd part of their Kindle DotD. I only really picked up the Batwoman (new 52) collection, in part because I've heard good things and in part because Gail Simone.

Still, might be something of interest to someone.

Gail Simone writes Batgirl not Batwoman. I hear Batwoman is still pretty good though.

Yeah, it was Batgirl. I don't know why I wrote Batwoman.

Just read Before Watchmen - Rorschach and it was fuckin' awful.

Made him look like a huge fuck-up, who couldn't do anything right by himself.

Gonna go with The Comedian now.

And now you know why Alan Moore wanted nothing at all to do with the BW titles.

Why did they replace Aquaman with Captain Marvel? I like Captain Marvel, er, Shazam, but not sure why the change was needed.

Maybe they are saving Aquaman for his own AWESOME movie

Actually that's the exact reason.

I'm most definitely ok with a standalone Aquaman movie.

Aquaman is pretty awesome.

Im a bigger fan of aqualad after young justice. Would love to see kaldur make another cinematic appearance. Yes, i caught himin the flashpoint movie

I'd love for Young Justice to have actually gotten a third season to wrap up all the Wiseman plot threads. Alas, Cartoon Network is staffed by monkies who can't handle well made, thought out shows like YJ or Green Lantern.

Could have at the very least continued Young Justice in (digital) comic book form.

WB has announced that the Vertigo series iZombie is now in development for TV on the CW. Only read a few issues of the series, but it seemed "cool".

Synopsis:

Deadline.com it a "supernatural crime procedural that centers on a med student-turned-zombie who takes a job in the coroner’s office to gain access to the brains she must reluctantly eat to maintain her humanity. But with each brain she consumes, she inherits the corpse’s memories, and with the help of her medical examiner boss and a police detective, she solves homicide cases in order to quiet the disturbing voices in her head."

The writer of iZombie left DC with a lot of "bad blood" or something, though. Something about DC mistreating creators, and something about protesting Before Watchmen.

Man of Steel spoilers:

What. Has Zack Snyder even read a Superman comic?

Let it die, people. In a snap.

Damn, Animal Man is ending in March. One of the only DC books I actually still keep up with and is very good. Don't want to see it end, even if the writer is leaving the book.


Animal Man will be joining Justice League Canada, though, which will be by the same writer. Might have to check it out.

DC will launch a new weekly series, The New 52: Future’s End, with a #0 issue on Free Comic Book Day. The series will be written by Jeff Lemire, Dan Jurgens, Keith Giffen and Brian Azzarello. The #0 issue will be drawn by Ethan Van Sciver.

The New 52: Future’s End is set five years in the future, and will focus on the past, present, and the future through exploring different characters including Frankenstein (past), Firestorm (present), and Batman Beyond (future), according to AP.

Holy Schnikies!

New Part of this has been release (Part 3)
