No. Way.

Will Thanos need a Mini me?

I saw JL on Saturday. I wanted to love it, but I didn't. I enjoyed it, at times quite a bit. 5/10 for me.

The major problem for me  was simple:  Batman.  In cosmic storylines (especially Darkseid related) the only way the Batman works is if he is a nearly perfect combo of the World's Greatest Detective and the World's Toughest Man. Otherwise, he is just a bag of flesh that would get liquified by the other players.  Seeing him fumble and flail about, not even being able to find Cyborg was sad and stupid.  He should have found them instantaneously, forced them to join, using intimidation, blackmail or whatever is necessary. They all hate but grudgingly admire Batman, giving them all a reason to band together to keep an eye on him, because he is so scarily ahead of them on everything.  Batman's intellectual superiority becomes the one thing that softens the edges of this dark world, the humor and the pathos can all be generated easily by having a genius-level detective/strategist Batman (it's how Morrison was able to have a thrilling Darkseid arc in his 1997 JLA run).

So it is not about Affleck's delivering a weak, ineffectual, bumbling Batman, it is about the --script not providing the Batman this movie deserved.

 

 

Problem is, most people don't want a "detective" Batman anymore. Look at all the movies, only the first one had him doing any detective work on finding what triggered the Joker's grin poison. They want action.

Only the exclusive is timed. The normal you should be able to get at other retailers.

 

Sideshow can be too hit or miss. They should have made a knockout Rocketeer the first time. I think if Hot Toys got around to it that would be the best Rocketeer figure given the quality of their releases. But this might be the best comic Rocketeer and Betty statue that we get. I'm still debating the normal or exclusive. I like the look of the exclusive but I think the paint isn't the best and the statue would be even better with a professional paint job. I think Mondo wants the money upfront and I don't want to do that for a year wait statue either. It's probably going to come down to display and since I'll probably display it with the Rocketeer Artist Edition or other large books, which version would I want displayed.

 

I think I mentioned that I got that Mondo Rocketeer poster. It's better than I thought. This is the normal version.

 

Yeah, I like the Mondo posters, too. As for statues, I was thinking more along the lines of premium statues based on his covers or one of his prints. The planet comics or scarlet thirst could be awesome.

Mondo's Rocketeer and Betty statue just went up for sale. Looks like a timed edition, only being sold between today and 12/8. I'll probably grab the exclusive.

Mondo Rocketeer & Betty statue

About time someone put out another statue. Been waiting on Sideshow. Not to crazy about the "exclusive" head.

Exactly Eyes like black holes that flare when angry, and voice like a woofer filled with gravel - that's Thanos

 

 

Didn't stop them from using Spader's voice for Ultron instead of a more metallic sound.

I’m a fan of both books but if I had to choose I’d go with the 135.  I love the cover of the 135.

Plus, The Electric Company used it for their Spidey segments. 

A blonde Widow? Keep pushing my buttons Marvel!

I wonder if they trying to avoid using THAT character as a crutch. Otherwise, the common complaint is..

All DC has as a solid villain is The Joker. All the others are so weak!

 

yeah, it's not like the Loki crutch.

Swamp Thing #9 will always be my most favorite cover.

Would be funny if the had Carl wearing a Punisher shirt on TWD.

I did like the tease about a Legion of Doom. So much great material to source.

Was that a Brood?  

First thing I thought of.

i'm hoping a Fourth World movie is in the works.

three episodes in and I want to keep watching. much easier to watch than some of the latest Marvel/Netflix installments. first season of Daredevil probably my favorite.

Found in a dollar bin today.  Stevens was always amazing:

 

Fun fact #321: DC made Dave switch her to side saddling  the broom instead of a traditional straddle. Thought it might be too offensive.

This is cool

YEAH,BABY!!!!!!!!

'Gotham' EP Discusses Jerome's Upcoming Story Arc

 

 

okay, Jerome is the obvious choice for Mr. J at this point, but what about the kid Bruce shut out of the nightclub?

I have to give kudos to DC. Looking back at all the misdirections with the trailers/leaks were awesome!

If they're distributed in order (and I have no idea if they are... perhaps someone does?) mine is #2160/4000.  So if that's the case... I'd think you've got some time. 

it's a great piece. got mine as the centerpiece in my office.

Ok, that was legit awesome.  This might be one of those situations where the movie is better than the comic books.

 

This will definitely test the financial success a predominately "black" cast can have on a comic movie (in the same tone as a woman lead in Wonder Woman).

Well, I hope they don't try to sell it as a "black" movie. The Panther always seemed to transcend color to me.

Enjoyed it. Only negative for me was

 Other than that, very enjoyable.

Okay, does anyone else want Victor to take care of Sofia? Might be worse character than Fish. Will we see Penguin's bookeeper have a puppet soon? Also, am I the only one that thinks of Dave Stevens' Vampirella when they show Lee Thompkins?

Only good thing so far is Lockjaw. Also, can someone get the king of Attilan a membership in the Shave Club for Men?

So, I'm all caught up this season. Scarecrow looks good. Bat suit coming together. Characters are moving in good direction. Can't wait or Grundy! Oh, just a thought....
