  1. Man, Jena Malone is really hot. That aside, I personally think she'd make a very good Babs. Although I wish they would have gone with the Carrie Kelly character instead.
  2. it's been the trend ever since the 1989 Batman movie, at least there it was portrayed as "body armor", but it soon morphed into every superhero suit being padded muscle suits, even Superman's who doesn't need body armor. truth is real muscles don't show through clothing/spandex they way we have become used to seeing them drawn in the comics. Affleck and Cavill are both in shape (especially Cavill) but to drape them in plain spandex/cloth would take away the bigger than life comic book appeal. the funniest one is the Night Owl suit in Watchmen, Night Owl is supposed to be a little fat and out of shape, and far removed from his crime fighting career, and Snyder has him looking like Batman in that movie. I think it went even further back than Batman 1989. I remember in the first Superman movie with Chris Reeves, they had multiple "padded" suits to make him look bigger. Some suits were made to make him look more muscular while standing, another for flying, etc.. Reeves did bulk up for later movies, but I think for Superman I and II, he was still a pretty lean guy.
  3. That is one really cool easter egg. Wasn't Starro a whole heck of a lot bigger than that?
  4. Sounds like a possible setup for a passing of the torch scenario if this series is well received.
  5. I actually kind of like that. My first reaction was against it as I'm not a fan of straying too far from the source material, but after thinking about it, I like this idea as well. This is a "future" scenario and can make a very good story.
  6. It's getting some decent feedback. Same here. None of my kids want to see it.
  7. I've seen crazier. Expect it to go up, though.
  8. Great new trailer. Galdot still doesn't look right as WW to me though.
  9. Wow. Even better than the last one.
  10. Very nice. It's especially nice to see a decent looking copy of 222 with both staples still attached.
  11. My one and relatively cheap CL win came in today. A nice upgrade from my raw copy.
  12. The last book I needed to complete my Barry Smith Conan run. My favorite Smith cover. Pretty darn cheap as well.
  13. You just reminded me that this is the absolute last book I need to complete my Neal Adams Batman collection.
  14. My CL winnings came in today. Nice thing about living so close to Saco, ME is that ground shipping is just as fast as overnight (thumbs u
  15. Just added a graded copy of 168 to my Miller DD run. Should bookend nicely next to my 9.6 #158. Ignore the WF#2. Wrong board
  16. My favorite "current" run at the time I gave up comics in the early '80s. Finally got around to reacquiring all the books I had before I sold off my entire collection. Got a deal on DD #158-191, minus the silly Steve Ditko fill-in issue that no cares about. Pretty nice condition too.
  17. Just won this tonight. My first GA book in over 30 years.
  18. Probably not. I view her like Moon Knight. A lot of collector interest, but not a lot of fans. Other than the first appearance, everything else is a bit . Still looking for my reading copy.
  19. Exploitation in TV and film? Maybe he's thinking about giving Conan the "Spartacus" treatment. I can see that, although I would imagine they'd probably tone down the level of sex on the show. That'd be over the top even for Conan. I'd still watch it though
  20. I really hope they do this right. My investment in my Conan collection can use a boost right now.
  21. Man, I really picked the wrong time to start collecting Miller DD. The Netflix show is really inflating the heck out of 158 and 168.
  22. It's just that I don't really understand why this character is commanding Harley Quinn type money right now. There's so many darn copies out there.
