[Kalyx triaD]

Arrow will be getting a whole episode based on the League of Assassins (/Shadows). Merlyn was revealed to have been trained by them. Most interesting.

[Lock Jaw]

I should maybe catch up with the rest of season 1. When does season 2 start?

[Kalyx triaD]

This Fall, not sure the exact date.

[Fignuts]

Those Spider-Man panels while not bad are about average, compared to all the amazing stuff out there. Sooooooo many great artists out there right now. My god, Ivan Reis. The fact that this guy does what he does, and still manages to meet mainstream book deadlines is a miracle. He is in my opinion, the greatest penciller in comics history. Then there's stuff like X-Force which has been one of the most consistently gorgeous books the last few years. Captain America, Future FoundAtion, Cable, Iron Fist, Punisher, and Wolverine also comes to mind. On the DC side, in addition to Ivan Reis, there's guys like Phil Jimenez and the iconic Jim Lee.

And it's not just the art itself which is great. Scenes are often drawn from more dynamic angles than the straight shot with goofy poses of decades past.

Now there are a lot more artists with unique visual styles than there used to be, and I can understand if some of them aren't your cup of tea. Stuff like Quietly and Yu can be a love it or hate it affair. However to say the art as a whole is bad is just absurd to me. I can't really be kind about it, because I've been reading comics regularly since 1987, and in my opinion, the art today is the best it's ever been by an extremely wide margin.

[DaveBrawl]

Season 2 of Arrow starts on Oct. 9.

[DaveBrawl]

Arrow will be getting a whole episode based on the League of Assassins (/Shadows). Merlyn was revealed to have been trained by them. Most interesting.
He was the one Bruce didn't kill in Batman Begins. :lol:

[Kalyx triaD]

Let there be such a monologue that reveals as much. I will lose my fucking mind.

[McLegend]

I would love a Malcolm Merlyn origin story.

[Lock Jaw]

So after the Trinity War and the Forever Evil event, it has been announced that the Justice League of America will be moving to Canada and will be called the Justice League of Canada.

Their new base will be somewhere with "Moose" in its name, and a lot of the "action" will take place in Toronto.

[Kalyx triaD]

This reads like a joke but I'm certain DC would do this.

[The Destroyer]

It's not a joke and they are. They're doing it with the Justice League of America lineup though, rather than the Justice League "proper".

[The Destroyer]

Also Adam Strange is now Canadian, apparently.

[DaveBrawl]

I kind of like it personally. Like Baird said it isn't the Batman/Superman/WW team, it's essentially Justice League "C" team (depending on your view of JL Dark) and I always thought Alpha Flight was a fun series years ago until they kind of lost their way.

[dronepool]

FUCK THE NEW 52

On top of everything annoying- THEY DESTROYED LOBO.

I "like" the new design but THAT ISN'T LOBO! It's a Twilight-wannabe edgy-Lobo! This whole "edgy" thing is getting ridiculous, it's enough that people like Kayne West and Lil Wayne try to be dark and edgy and now we have comics trying to turn a hulked up Wolverine satire into this.

He looks like Lobo's kid more than Lobo if anything. His new design looks like it was made to hopefully appeal to younger people who are just discovering stuff like that because being dark and edgy became a fad for some reason. I love change in big comics- I adore Superior Spider-Man, I adore Morrisons Batman, I don't mind Affleck as Batman until I see the trailer it's not a big deal at all, I love goth rock/goth culture but this design just seems like it has no reason, Lobo had a unique look.

http://i.newsarama.com/images/i/000/112/075/original/Lobo_D_kr.jpg?1377276741

[slik]

I was just about to post this.

I think Lobo had a pretty distinguished look before. I'm not sure why they really needed to update it.

The design itself isn't terrible I just would've preferred a bulkier Lobo rather than sleeker one and I wish they went with darker hair.

[dronepool]

now he looks like some vampire kid that would fit into some Image comic or somebody Blade should fight.

[Kalyx triaD]

Is this even the final design because I saw a few posted at Newsarama, including an interesting samurai-ish concept.

[dronepool]

I think so. The samurai-ish one was better than this.

http://www.newsarama.com/18756-dc-reveals-new-look-for-lobo-s-first-new-52-appearance-in-what-s-new.html?fb_comment_id=fbc_545866762134987_5332606_546009112120752#f170719134

[Kalyx triaD]

I mean would rather Biker Lobo and you would think he would fit in this 'edgy' New 52 naturally but if I had to choose some redesign I'd roll with the space samurai.

[slik]

While the redesign isn't my favorite, I like the new writer's take on the character in this interview:

http://www.newsarama.com/18200-new-female-writer-promises-dark-creepy-take-on-lobo-for-dc-s-villains-month.html


Nrama: As I'm sure you're aware, Lobo originally represented all that was "cliché" about comic book "bad-assery." Is he still that character at all? How would describe the character now, as you're writing him?

Bennett: The surest way to miss the mark of what is “cool” or “badass” is to focus on those words and concepts. If you miss a target in archery, it’s because you were thinking too much about the target, and not enough about what you were doing to hit the target.

I have no intentions to make Lobo “cool” or “badass." I will write him proud, vicious, indifferent, driven, and self-satisfying.

[Kalyx triaD]

Alright, decent thoughts.

[DaveBrawl]

Seems to me that if he was meant to be cliche about all that was "cool" and "manly" when he was created, they appear to be doing the same with this current redesign.

He's pretty much the stereotype for everything that is "dark", "mysterious" and "gothic" and all of that nonsense that Twilight and it's contemporaries like to claim these days.

[Shadow]

Oh so that's what that thing is supposed to be.

[parkmania]

He looks like a pale Dick Greyson. Do not like.

[Reavant]

its a woman writing lobo so that explains this

[Kalyx triaD]

Really, dude?

[Reavant]

its a joke kalyx calm down

[Kalyx triaD]

ok

[mitchables]

it's a really fucking stupid joke. i'm with kalyx, honestly

[Fignuts]

Eh.

I've seen worse. Nothing to get upset about really.

[parkmania]

Fans may have thought they were familiar with the “New 52” incarnation of Lobo, but DC Editor Bob Harras writing on DC’s “What’s New With the New 52” blog revealed that the Lobo seen on the pages of “New 52” books so far is actually an imposter. The new Lobo, who sports a sleek new character design by Kenneth Rocafort, will be unveiled in the September Villains month one-shot, Justice League #23.2: Lobo. The new Lobo is evidently extremely pissed off that someone has been stealing his thunder, and he’s determined to do something about it.

Writing on The Source, Harras announced that Justice League #23.2: Lobo from the creative team of Marguerite Bennett, Ben Oliver, Cliff Richards, and Daniel Brown “will contain a major surprise.” In the book that is due out on September 11th, the real Lobo is on a quest to kill the man who has taken his name.



The rejected designs all featured a thicker version of Lobo like this one, which was Rocafort's first try.
Rocafort produced several prototypes for the new Lobo, and DC picked the leanest design that Rocafort produced, which features updated facial tattoos, laser-edged blades, and powerful gloves—a new look that according to Harras “turns Lobo into a lean, mean killing machine.”

Still think it's almost as much gash as Miley Cyrus at the VMAs.

[mitchables]

Eh.

I've seen worse. Nothing to get upset about really.

no one's even close to upset


kalyx just said "really?" and then old mate was like WHOA CALM DOWN IT'S JUST A JOKE


which, yeah, it is, i guess, but it's also pretty stupid


i think that's all we were saying; weren't calling for him to be burnt at the stake for misogyny or something

[The Destroyer]

Seems terribly like conjecture, tbh. Doesn't sound like anything official and I don't know how strong this writer's word is.
There'a also the fact the series he mentions as "doing well" or whatever was released back in 2006, so I doubt this is a conversation he had with DC recently.

[The Destroyer]

http://www.newsarama.com/18704-paul-pope-clears-the-air-on-controversial-dc-comics-quote-teases-future-projects.html

And there we go. It was a conversation he had "7 or 8 years ago".

[Kalyx triaD]

Damn.

[Fignuts]

Well to be fair, 7 or 8 years ago they were targeting older fans.

Also, Linkara is terrible.

[slik]

There is a deathwatch blog for Nightwing:

http://isnightwingdead.blogspot.com/

I don't think Dick Grayson is dying anytime soon.

[Kalyx triaD]

Okay.

[slik]

Kalyx don't be grumpy.

You know Forever Evil has brought the latest round of 'Is Nightwing Dying' talk up again since DC keeps saying 'bad things are going to happen to Dick Grayson, very bad' and 'September 4th all comic books fans and even the mainstream media will be talking about Dick Grayson'.

A lot of folks think Dick Grayson's identity is about to go public and a lot of folks think he is biting the big one again (which Dan Didio has done nothing to discourage of course).

I think it's DC over-hype personally.

[Kalyx triaD]

I wasn't being grumpy, but we talk about potential happenings all the time without having a full on blog site going up.

[slik]

I know.

That's why I find it entertaining someone made one.

[Lock Jaw]

Perhaps if you made more detailed posts than "Okay", people might not take it as you being grumpy.

Anyways, there have been rumors of Dick Grayson dying since Infinite Crisis. Don't see it happening any time soon.

Don't see his identity being made public either, because it is only a short jump away to figure out Batman's identity in that case.

[Kalyx triaD]

Perhaps if you made more detailed posts than "Okay", people might not take it as you being grumpy.

How people interpret my minimal posts is up to them, it says nothing about me when they assume whatever.

[Lock Jaw]

Kalyx, don't be grumpy.

[Kalyx triaD]

Dammit

[DaveBrawl]

Gonna throw a fit if they kill Dick Grayson but leave Jason Todd alive.

[slik]

and the big Nightwing scoop is...

his real identity is revealed to the world by the Crime Syndicate

[Reavant]

thats dumb

[Reavant]

unless they actually thought out someday linking it to batman/bruce

[Kalyx triaD]

So a Spider-Man/Civil War deal?

[dronepool]

Forever Evil was cool- I didn't follow DC besides Batman Inc and Batman upto Year Zero.. dropped Batman don't care about more origins but this was awesome and I had no clue that there was even a big DC event, which I'm assuming it is?


Flipping though this Ultraman snorting powdered Kryptonite and Owlman/the Nightwing thing sold me. Love the evil JLA/CSA.

[Kane Knight]

Like Shadow needed help.

[Kane Knight]

What's the verdict on Secret Six and Gotham City Sirens? I've heard moderately good things about them but I don't spend too much time on comic book talk these days, so I'm kind of out of the loop. The first few issues of each are discounted on the Kidnle store though, and since that's where my book library is, I thought this would be the best place to try. If they're decent.

[Lock Jaw]

They were both indeed good. Was sad that they had to be canceled to make way for the stupid new universe.

[Fignuts]

Secret Six has always been great.

[dronepool]

The last incarnation of Secret Six was good, Catman and Rag Doll are awesome. Gotham City Sirens was alright but bored me after like 7 or 10 issues but I started to become jaded and cut back on comics around then.

[Kalyx triaD]

Glee's Grant Gustin shall portray Barry Allen in Arrow, and possibly the Arrow spin-off starring Flash. This casting is significant in that there's plenty rumors and fan requests that Arrow share the new Man of Steel continuity where Batman is set to appear in the next movie. This would save them some time when they get around to Justice League, not too mention Arrow has so successfully built a grounded world for itself, Man of Steel and even the Dark Knight trilogy could readily accept it.

But yeah, they have a Flash. He will be the first 'superhero' as far as Arrow is concerned.

[Lock Jaw]

I am sure all those fan requests will tip the scales

[Damian Rey]

Pretty young kid to cast as Flash.

[Kane Knight]

Pretty young kid to cast as Flash.

I was surprised to find he's only 23. Aren't most of the Glee cast in their late 30s? You know, like most TV high schoolers?

Still, I have no real metric for how old Flash should be, so I don't know. Is this really all that bad?

[Damian Rey]

Nah. More of just on observation based on a similar reaction of discovering he's pretty young. Sure he will do fine.

[McLegend]

So last month Kevin Smith and Grant Morrison did something where they talk about comic books... Well the Killing Joke was brought up, and Grant Morrison brought up this really interesting aspect that I never considered...

So first does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Second... Does anyone agree with Grant Morrison?


I'll post it if people want me to.

[Kalyx triaD]

Why would you not post it?

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, if you want to discuss something, you should at least say what it is.

[McLegend]

I didn't want to spoil it and get yelled at.

[Lock Jaw]

Spoil what? The Killing Joke? Or what someone said about it? I don't think people care about spoilers of either.

[McLegend]

http://youtu.be/U0Do2mqoAs4

I can't embed right now.

After researching it last night apparently it's old news to comic book smarks. I'd never heard of it. I think it's a pretty interesting to way to look at the ending. It does make sense in some ways. I'm not saying I agree with Grant Morrison, but I can definitely see where he is coming from.

So I did end up buying a few of the DC sale comics. Was Ed Nigma's "legitimate" persona featured in comics or was that more or less a one-off with GSS? Because I think I'd enjoy more of the Riddler Reformed.

[The Destroyer]

He was reformed for a few years in the comics from what I remember. From maybe 2006 to 2009.

[Kalyx triaD]

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kmLXTFWgX2s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Nice Batman fan-film, but you're tying your own noose saying it's in TDK universe. You don't say that and then open with super campy characters/portrayals. I do like that Red Hood's voice is modeled after the animated movie version.

[McLegend]

http://youtu.be/DzlekMIf7D4

[Lock Jaw]

I enjoyed Riddler's "reformed" days. Mostly it can be found in the pages of Paul Dini's Detective Comics (which yeah, was from around 2006-2009)

[Kane Knight]

He was reformed for a few years in the comics from what I remember. From maybe 2006 to 2009.

That fits with the timeframe of sirens. Was it any good?

The idea of Nigma using his insanity for good intrigues me. I may have to track down the comics, period.

On a side note, I love the whole "panel view" thing Kindle does. Means I can read on my phone, since my tablet doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

[Lock Jaw]

Anything by Paul Dini is generally good.

[Kane Knight]

Anything by Paul Dini is generally good.

I looked him up last night. Surprised how much stuff of his I've watched/read.

[Fignuts]

Sad Geoff Johns is leaving Green Lantern. One of, if not the most consistently good books out there.

[Kalyx triaD]

His additions to the GL mythology lives on in the animated series-

OH WAIT

[Kalyx triaD]

WE LOVE YOU, DC COMICS/WB

[Fignuts]

Speaking of which, bought the first two trades of new 52 GL. One of the only titles to retain the original dcu continuity. Probably because the book was so danced good.

Anyway they're both great. Loving the dynamic between Hal and Sinestro as a GL. Really adding depth to the Sinestro character.

[Fignuts]

Yes auto correct GL was so danced good. The salsas and funky chickens in that book are amazing.

[Lock Jaw]

A Constantine TV series is now also in development at NBC.

[Fignuts]

Just read the first trade of New 52 Animal Man. Shit is so good. Surreal, disturbing art reminds me of John Carpenter's The Thing.

[Shadow]

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.

[Kalyx triaD]

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

[Lock Jaw]

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)

[Nowhere Man]

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.

[Lock Jaw]

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.

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

[Lock Jaw]

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.

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[Lock Jaw]

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.

[slik]

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

[Kalyx triaD]

Batman and Son is coming actually.

[Lock Jaw]

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

[Kalyx triaD]

Oh yeah, that would be cool too.

[DaveBrawl]

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

[Lock Jaw]

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?!

[parkmania]

New York Comic Con News: At the NYCC’s Batman panel lead Batman writer Scott Snyder revealed that fan-favorite character Stephanie Brown will be returning to the DCU in the new weekly Batman Eternal series that debuts in the spring of 2014 (see "DC Announces Weekly 'Batman' Comic").

Created by Chuck Dixon in Detective Comics #647, Stephanie is the daughter of a villain known as the Cluemaster. She created an alter ego known as The Spoiler in order to ruin the criminal schemes of her father, and eventually became enamored with costume crime-fighting and became a key member of Robin’s supporting cast of characters (where she was at the center of a high-profile teen pregnancy saga in 1999) until she met her first comic book demise in the 2004 crossover event Batman: War Games. In 2009 the character was revived and took on the mantle of Batgirl until the title was cancelled in 2011. When Batgirl returned as part of the "New 52," Barbara Gordon was the eponymous heroine of that series, and until now there has been no official mention of Stephanie Brown in the revamped DC lineup.

Snyder explained that "No one want to shelve her, it was more about finding the right time to reintroduce her." According to Snyder it was Talon writer James Tynion IV who came up with the plan to bring Stephanie back to the Batbooks, and Tynion told the NYCC audience that Stephanie will make her triumphant return to the DCU in the third issue of Batman Eternal, and that she will be coming back as The Spoiler.

Hmmm...

[Kane Knight]

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.

[Lock Jaw]

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

[Kane Knight]

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

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

Aquaman is pretty awesome.

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."

[Lock Jaw]

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.

[Lock Jaw]

Man of Steel spoilers:

"In regards to the death of Zod, whose neck was snapped by Superman, Snyder said the notion that Superman doesn't kill came from his appearances on television and the movies. "That rule doesn't exist in the comics. In the comics, he's actually killed Zod a couple of times," Snyder said. "In the comics he's more of a practical hero. His aversion to killing won't stop him from doing it if it's the only solution."

What. Has Zack Snyder even read a Superman comic?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Direct and Star in Neil Gaiman's Sandman.

[parkmania]

Holy Schnikies!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has revealed via Twitter that he’s involved in a Sandman movie with David Goyer, and teased the name "Prelude," which may refer to the first collected Sandman arc, Preludes & Nocturnes.

Gordon-Levitt’s role is to produce, and he may also star and even direct, according to Deadline, which also revealed that uber-writer Goyer’s treatment was what sold the project to Warner Bros., where the film is planned.



Gordon-Levitt appeared in The Dark Knight Rises, has a role in the upcoming Sin City sequel, is up for Ant-Man (see "Paul Rudd & Joseph Gordon-Levitt Up for 'Ant-Man'"), and will voice the starring role of Jiro in the English version of Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises.

Pretty amazing stuff

[Kalyx triaD]

lol How long did it take you to choose which thread this goes in?

I would alternate the threads. To be a dick.

[Lock Jaw]

Not very long at all.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'll destroy you next time, Lock Jaw! I shall return...

[Nowhere Man]

So has anyone else been following the web-series The Joker Blogs? Because it's three episodes into its second season, and it's fucking amazing.

Here's the most recent episode.... (http://youtu.be/d_vAI00T2x0)

....but if you haven't seen it, I really recommend starting from the beginning. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJtIPi0Nb60&feature=share&list=SPDBAA1376EB30F66C&index=1)

[dronepool]

Holy shit, part 3 was epic. Did it take that long to do this or why do they release it so slowly?

[Lock Jaw]

It is just one dude who is making it, so there is no "they"... I imagine it takes quite some time to create, plus doing it in his spare time....

[Lock Jaw]

So that "Gotham" TV show that is in development for Fox, is confirmed to have Bruce Wayne in it and "The show will track Bruce from a child (around 12 years old) until he puts on a cape (in the finale)".

Also various bat-villains confirmed to appear, including Catwoman, Riddler, and Penguin.

[McLegend]

So it's Smallville with Batman?

[Lock Jaw]

Well, the original news was that it was a show about Jim Gordon and his rise in the GCPD.... so it is Smallville with Batman and Gordon.

[Kalyx triaD]

So... Are we gonna see different recasts of Bruce or are they starting with a late-teens Bruce? How many seasons are we looking at? Didn't Bruce travel around the world training?

[Lock Jaw]

Aquaman getting a second ongoing comic book

[Shadow]

....WHY!?

[parkmania]

DC Comics’ Constantine is that much closer to returning to live action, with NBC ordering a pilot for the proposed show.

We first heard about the project back in September, and now The Hollywood Reporter says that the network is ready to move to the pilot stage on the David Goyer adaptation of the DC character. Goyer, who of course has co-scripted and/or worked on the stories for the Dark Knight trilogy as well as Man of Steel and its upcoming sequel -- not to mention many other comics related projects -- will write the Constantine pilot with The Mentalist’s Daniel Cerone for Warner Bros. Television.

John Constantine is one of the best known characters from the supernatural side of DC. Created by Alan Moore and Steve Bissette (for Swamp Thing), his solo book Hellblazer was a Vertigo mainstay, running for 300 issues. Constantine has also been a key figure in Justice League Dark, and let's not forget that Keanu Reeves even played him on the big screen at one point!

The news follows today’s revelations about FOX’s upcoming Gotham TV series, which will reportedly be a Nolan-esque Batman origin story.

The History of John Constantine

Meanwhile, NBC has also ordered a pilot for a new procedural from Arrow's Greg Berlanti called Mysteries of Laura, which will be a “drama with a sharp sense of humor following a quirky female homicide detective who juggles high stakes crime as well as her ex-husband and a devilish set of twin boys.”

[Lock Jaw]

....WHY!?

Aquaman has been one of the only books worth reading in the New 52. It was pretty sweet. I am way behind on it though, and haven't finished reading Geoff Johns' run on it..... so I don't actually know how the new writer is doing on it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Unacceptable.

[parkmania]

The CW has decided not to move forward with its Wonder Woman prequel series Amazon, according to Hollywood Reporter. The series had been developed based on a script by Alan Heinberg, but the network was not satisfied (see "No Pilot Order Yet for 'Wonder Woman'") and requested a rewrite by Heroes writer Aron Eli Coleite last May (see "CW Puts New Writer on 'Wonder Woman' Project").

When the network started moving ahead with a Flash series, the Wonder Woman series started to lose momentum (see "Flash Origin in 'Arrow'"), and has now been declared dead in that form at the CW by network president Mark Pedowitz at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour.

New Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara wants to find a way to use the character (see "Warners Has 'Huge Plans' for 'Other DC Properties'"), but it looks like it’s going to take a different idea than the prequel concept that was being developed at the CW.

NBC also had a Wonder Woman series in development back in 2011; that series is also dead (see "NBC Dumps 'Wonder Woman'").

[Fignuts]

http://media.comicbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/JUSTICELEAGUE_30-LUTHOR-top.jpg

Unacceptable.

Nothing is out of bounds if the writing is good enough.

Though, with new 52's track record, your comment may well stand.

[The Destroyer]

Nothing is out of bounds if the writing is good enough.

Though, with new 52's track record, your comment may well stand.

It's not like the rest of the Justice League look happy to see him either. I'm sure it'll be fine, maybe.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, guessing it's like Sabertooth's last venture with the x-men, where he was on the team due to the situation, and not because anyone actually wanted him there.

[Nowhere Man]

I'm honestly kind of amazed DC hasn't tried this before, given that "arch villain joins the heroes" is a favorite in Marvel's playbook, and DC has been trying to imitate Marvel for like thirty years or so.

[Kalyx triaD]

The 'strange bedfellows' thing is a fine line for me with comics. It bothers me for two main reasons:

1) It almost always demands somebody severely breaks character for it to work. Under no circumstance could Wolverine and Sabretooth share living spaces for more than a day, without turning it into a warzone. At the very least, I like that they ended that arch with Logan starting a fight for seemingly no reason while Creed was just watching TV. Course correction.

2) They pretty much never play it in reverse. When bad guys join the good guys they don't have to be mind-fucked or tricked or anything. It's something, somehow, the good team has to deal with it. 'Shake things up' and whatever. But when a good guy takes a trip on the dark side there has to be all sorts of narrative apologetics to explain it. So we have the spells, mind-fucks, illusions, possessed bodies, etc. By this standard villains have more capacity for change than the heroes.

[Fignuts]

You are thinking of the first time Sabretooth joined the x-men. The second time was acompletely different story. He didn't so much join them as he did place himself in their captivity to protect him from the Children.

Doctor Doom teams up with the heroes all the time, to tackle a larger threat. As does Thanos.

Point is, they don't have to stray from his character to make this work.

[Lock Jaw]

Apparently the Ted Kord Blue Beetle is back as well, and will also be a part of the Justice League.

[Nowhere Man]

http://media.comicbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/JUSTICELEAGUE_30-LUTHOR-top.jpg

Unacceptable.

I agree: everyone knows that Captain Cold is left-handed.

[dronepool]

Nothing is out of bounds if the writing is good enough.

Though, with new 52's track record, your comment may well stand.

It looks cool but yeah, new 52 is meh.

Yessssssssss

[Krimzon7]

Oh. My. GooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooD!

[Lock Jaw]

The movie will probably be better than the original story.

Also, I miss Damian.

[KIRA]

Also, I miss Damian.

:'( He really,really grew on me right before he died.

but death in comics is an inconvenience rather than a finality so heres hoping.

Also, I want my fucking Batwoman/Maggie wedding DC! :mad:

[Lock Jaw]

Hate that Grant Morrison took Damian away. Damian was the best when NOT being written by Grant Morrison. Feel bad for the other writers.

[dronepool]

I'm buying Son of Batman based on the fact it's based on Grant's run, which I love and is one of my favorite Batman stories.

[Lock Jaw]

I know it is still "early" to bring him back, but I'm hoping that the upcoming weekly Batman series somehow brings Damian back to the living.

[parkmania]

Dislike the new voice actor for Bruce. Sounds like DC said "Let's go see if we can find someone who can do a Kevin Conroy imitation so we don't have to pay the real Kevin Conroy."

[Kalyx triaD]

Bruce Greenwood would have fine as the new ongoing Bat-voice. He was fucking epic in Red Hood and Young Justice.

[slik]

DC has cancelled the following titles and they will have their last issues in April:


NIGHTWING (they better not kill off Dick Grayson in Forever Evil)

Superman Unchained (maybe Snyder and Lee's take on the man of steel isn't selling as well I thought it would).

Justice League of America (will be replaced by the new Justice League United)

Suicide Squad

Stormwatch (what will they do with Midnighter and Apollo now)

Teen Titans (what will happen to Tim Drake)

[Lock Jaw]

So, next month DC Comics launches 52 new #1s! So make your picks now in the... DC Cancellation Pool! PM me ten picks of which books you think will be canceled first! Winner gets nothing!

I will make my picks publicly now so there is no accusations of me changing my own picks:

<s>1) Hawk and Dove</s>
<s>2) O.M.A.C.</s>
<s>3) Blackhawks</s>
<s>4) I, Vampire</s>
<s>5) Voodoo</s>
6) Batwing
<s>7) Suicide Squad</s>
<s>8) Legion Lost</s>
<s>9) Men of War</s>
10) Red Hood and the Outlaws

I'm so close to winning!

[slik]

I don't see Red Hood and the Outlaws or Batwing going anytime soon....then again, I could've said that about Nightwing, Teen Titans, Justice League of America and Superman Unchained...

[Lock Jaw]

Justice League of America is being "relaunched" with a different title.

Superman Unchained I think has been known to be a limited series for quite some time. They originally said it would be ongoing but then changed their mind and said it would just be the one story.

[Lock Jaw]

Cool, checking out the solicitations and they have a Spectre TPB coming out collecting John Ostrander's Spectre series. Will definitely pick this up in hopes that they will actually finish collecting it.

[parkmania]

Law and Order veteran Jesse L. Martin has been cast as Detective West in the CW’s Flash, according to Hollywood Reporter. He joins Grant Gustin, who will play the title role (see "Flash Cast"). West acts as a surrogate father to Barry Allen.

[Krimzon7]

Perfect...Wally West better show up

[Blonde Moment]

Should the old Birds of Prey TV series premise be brought out of mothballs and repackaged?

[Shadow]

Yes. But only if it's written by Gail Simone.

[Blonde Moment]

Just watching the episodes right now and they are not too bad aside from the appearance of the Joker (just seems too normal looking) and the CGI use is pretty apparent

[Kalyx triaD]

People need to learn to ease up with the limitations of a TV budget. Even something as well funded as Smallville had noticeable and glaring CGI, but that's a TV budget. I'm tired of reading people point it out like any sci-fi/fantasy show had effects worth a damn.

But yeah, Birds of Prey should get another shot. Especially within the Arrow-verse. Perfect fit.

[Lock Jaw]

I would watch a show with Sarah/Helena Black Canary/Huntress teaming up to fight crime and possibly find redemption for past sins. Maybe Deathstroke cripples Felecity and she becomes Oracle, moves over to Birds of Prey spin-off.

[Kalyx triaD]

The Felicity/Oracle thing would be fucking boss.

[Kalyx triaD]

[Kalyx triaD]

After Justice League War, all DC Animated movies will now share continuity. Son of Batman may be excluded since it was commissioned earlier, but everything going forward is connected. This pretty much means, as I've stated long ago, that everything will pretty much be New 52 adaptations or original stories in the New 52-verse.

[Lock Jaw]

Boo

[Kalyx triaD]

Clarity:

"This will definitely be the first salvo in doing new movies that are in continuity with each other. [...] Our next movie's going to be 'Son of Batman,' and that Batman will be the same Batman that you see in 'Justice League: War.' Basically, we'll have two concurrent series of Justice League movies and Batman movies, and they'll be in continuity with each other. So it's kind of world-building."

Tucker did make clear they are still doing 'Elseworlds' type movies like Dark Knight Returns, even citing Red Son and Gotham by Gaslight by name. So this seems to be the new set-up:

New 52 (JL movie, Batman movie)
Elseworlds

[Lock Jaw]

Why only Batman movies? Seems weird.

[DaveBrawl]

Maybe that's all they are ready to reveal at this point. Son of Batman was leaked before they were ready to announce it wasn't it? So maybe he's just trying to keep future projects quiet.

Gotham by Gaslight sounds interesting.

[parkmania]

Candice Patton has been cast as the female lead in CW’s pilot for The Flash, according to HR.

Patton, whose TV credits include the role of Olivia on Heroes, as well as a role on The Young and The Restless, will play Iris West, a grad student who is Barry’s best friend and daughter of Detective West (played by Jesse Martin –see “ICv2 - Geek Movie, TV Round-up”). The character is also listed as becoming an eventual love interest for Barry, which, if they stay true to comic cannon, should eventually lead to a wedding. Grant Gustin has been cast in the title role (see “'Flash' Cast”).

http://www.icv2.com/images/27792Candice%20Patton_LG.jpg

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder if her detective dad will be trying to catch The Flash.

[Kalyx triaD]

Guessing Flash will be a lot more liked in Central City.

[Krimzon7]

She is delicious.

[Lock Jaw]

Surprised no one has mentioned the news that Preacher has been picked up by AMC with Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg at the helm. I never read it, but a lot of people like the series (including some people here I think).

On one hand it is on AMC, on the other, it is Seth Rogan. So I dunno.

[Fignuts]

Seth Rogan?

Preacher?

....

what?

[Lock Jaw]

Ben McKenzie of The O.C. fame cast as James Gordon in "Gotham"

[Sixx]

Surprised no one has mentioned the news that Preacher has been picked up by AMC with Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg at the helm. I never read it, but a lot of people like the series (including some people here I think).

On one hand it is on AMC, on the other, it is Seth Rogan. So I dunno.

Don't tell me Rogen is gonna cast himself as Jesse Custer.

[Fignuts]

I mean Preacher has it's fair share of humor, but it's all very dark humor. Not Rogan's style.

[Blitz]

More Gotham casting: Sean Pertwee as Alfred, Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot, and Zabryna Guevara as Captain Essen (I'm assuming Sarah).

[Kalyx triaD]

I dunno man...

[Lock Jaw]

Erin Richards also cast as "Barbara Kean", a "sophisticated ER doctor who is engaged to marry Jim Gordon."

[Kalyx triaD]

I would imagine ER doctors to be sophisticated.

[Blitz]

Still more o' that Gotham casting: Donal Logue is Harvey Bullock.

[Nowhere Man]

Finally got around to seeing the Flashpoint Paradox. Very well animated and some very clever use of powers on display, but......blah. Between this, the Injustice video games and comics, and the current Forever Evil arc, it feels like "Depressing joyless crap-sack world where [x] amount of heroes have gone evil and now everyone's graphically killing each other for shock value" is the only trick DC knows how to do. It was especially gratuitous here, with pretty much every single goddamn scene with Aquaman and Wonder Woman in them ending in someone getting murdered, and IMO that's what killed it for me. None of the characters had even the slightest redemptive quality to them, which didn't make the whole war with the fate of the world at stake feel like it had any consequence, or that it's a world where "it all went wrong" and can still be salvaged. In a world where everyone's an asshole and a true-blue-paragon-of-good character like Wonder Woman is butchering children with swords (seriously, what is it with DC and their awful portrayal of Wonder Woman lately as this bloodthirsty psychopath?), then I'm rooting for the apocalypse.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, one of the only New 52 series I have been keeping up with, "Earth 2", has kind of gone the way of the dark world with heroes gone wrong.

[Blonde Moment]

With the current direction of Earth 2 i would much rather see John Romita Jr be allowed to cut loose over there. i think his style might be more suited.

[Lock Jaw]

Really a shame, Earth 2 pre-crisis, and then the Justice Society later on.... they weren't dark and grim stuff. Generally they have been more positive, vibrant, upbeat than their Earth 1/Justice League counterparts.

[Nowhere Man]

I miss when DC comics were fun.

1st pic of Flash from the show

[Kalyx triaD]

Cool.

[Nowhere Man]

Not crazy about the little chin-bump thing that DC loves to put on its cowls, but overall I quite like it.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, not crazy about the chin bump, but overall it looks good.

[Shadow]

Ug...Nu52 strikes again.

They gave Flash that chin bump for...some reason.

[Kalyx triaD]

STFU guys, jesus.

[Krimzon7]

If you haven't watched the debut of Barry Allen, STFU. If you did, you'd realize that the character has a lot of positive buzz, and that theONLY criticism you could have this moment, is the fact that his cowl has a chin bump.

I trust the creative direction of the DCTV universe at this moment.

[Kalyx triaD]

What? I trust them, too. wtf

[Krimzon7]

whoa, weird.

[Damian Rey]

Sweetness. Love the way they did the bolts on the side of his cowl. Still looks great as a nod to the comics, but not in a way that it looks to cartoony.

[Lock Jaw]

Honestly thought that they would have given him a Jay Garrick look with a more "realistic" look and some sort of helmet.

[Damian Rey]

The salad bowl helmet? Glad they didn't. Looks kind of campy. The helmet reminds me of what they have going with Capt. America for the current films. Can't wait to see the whole suit.

[Shadow]

I trust the DCTV and DCAU people more then I trust the DCC people.

Success.

[slik]

I will probably watch the first episode.

[Nowhere Man]

I like the costume, quite a bit. Makes me think they made it with the intention to make the transition from the small-screen to the big-screen, if all that talk about connecting the Arrow/Flash TV-verse with Man of Steel bear any fruit.

The movie was directed by Brandon Vietti, one of the co-creators of the Young Justice show. So I guess it makes more sense.
