  1. CN as I'm sure most know is reviving Teen Titans due to the success of the shorts(although, this is due to the popularity of YJ & GL, but they still canceled them)and now we will see a whole new set of episodes that continue the series. I am hoping we get a podcast at least after the first season comes out

  2. Looks like Teen Titans will have a revival of sorts with these new shorts airing on Cartoon Network with all the original voice actors. That's not to say you should bring back a whole podcast back just for some stupid out of continuity shorts. :*

    What about Teen Titans Go! I'm still really upset about CN canceling YJ & GL, instead of just adding another hour to the DC Nation block(I mean, come on DC needs to get out there like Marvel has)

  3. These are the tiles I've recently begun playing:

  4. I liked it a lot and really hope they finish it, so far the news is that Frank Miller is going to finish it but it won't be under the All Star title. My only gripe was how they used Black Canary and the overuse of Goddamn, although, I guess it was meant to be repetitive. OMG is Dick Grayson nuts as hell, I don't know if Batman was smart in kidnapping him, lol. I was really interested in seeing how it continues, especially with the Gangster version of The Joker.

  5. To each his own. I'm not that crazy about Miller's artwork in that book either, but Frank Quitely continues to be my least favorite comic book artist.

    That's cool, I thought the book had an ok story, I'm not huge into politics so it took a 2nd read to really appreciate what Frank Miller was writing about. I have yet to get the All Star Superman, the artwork from what I've seen is ehh I'm used to the gritty look that Batman novels have, so it'll get some getting used too. But at the moment I'm going between the Batman Chronicles and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8

  6. All-Star Superman (not so recommended, unless you're big fan of the Silver Age or like Frank Quitely's artwork, in which case you need glasses; will be selling mine soon on Amazon)

    It looks better than The Dark Knight Returns artwork, god I hate that artwork

  7. I can't believe it, I actually found the First Look online today! However I do have mixed feelings. I agree with Mike that Batman’s actor sounds like he’s reading lines, I think he has the right voice for the role he just needs a couple acting lesions. I almost have the entire comic memorized so the lines I heard in the trailer annoyed me because it seemed like the characters were saying about the same thing as they were in the comic but they just changed the order of the words for the hell of it, but I thought why couldn’t you just use the original dialogue, it sounds so much better.

    Batman: Year One IS my favorite comic story of all time. I really hope they are making the film as good as it should be, and not just hoping to pass it off as just another film in the DC Animated line. I think it should be of higher quality than any of the other DC Animated Films. I want to be as blown away as I was when I first saw Mask of the Phantasm, this story deserves it.

    Where did you find it, all I get when I search are reviews of the book and people's thoughts on how they feel about the film coming out

  8. I think Meloni would make a pretty good Lex Luthor or even John Corben, he's young enough to play in Superman's early years and is a great actor. I'd love to see him in either role. Him playing General Sam Lane, I'm hesitant on, only because he is young and even though make up can make him look older(like Marlon Brando)I think he'd be a better fit for a different character.

    I'd love to see a veteran actor like R. Lee Ermey or his twin play the role, I know he's basically type cast in the drill sergeant role, but it because he is so good at it.

  9. First off, I'm sure there's a reason for why they pushed it back. It could be anything from needing more production time to wanting to air more completed episodes back to back before they have to go on hiatus. As for how things used to be? How things used to be, you wouldn't have gotten even the small four episode sets. Besides, if everything came down to not pissing off the fans, Brave & The Bold would have never even had episode 1. As for it being a screw you, it costs a bit to put out DVD sets. Warners isn't going to put out something that isn't going to sell. Doing it this way allows them to gauge interest before they start putting out whatever. They've since put out the season 1 boxset making up the first 13 episodes so, yeah, patience is great but I wouldn't exactly wait on a complete series box set.

    Now, onto the unrelated things in your rant, Bionic Woman actually was fairly well advertised. It's just the fact that the product they put out wasn't great and while the show started out strong, it qwas already looking like it would be canceled before the strike ever occured. Tru Calling got it's chance but, once again, the show wasn't that good to begin with and the fact that it got a second season show that Fox was trying to give it a chance. If an audience isn't interested, putting it at a better timeslot isn't going to change things. Also, scripted television still makes up the majority of the network timeslots. Honestly, people watch it so that's why it's on the schedule. If it wasn't there, it's not like Bionic Woman or Tru Calling would still be running. Instead, we might have another lawyer show or hospital show or something else that might suck just as bad. Besides, some of us enjoy Survivor and The Amazing Race.

    Actually its all about the money, I know that its a business and with a business money is to be made, but it just sucks that they would release volumes or best of sets to see if there is an interest and than release full seasons afterward. What does that mean to the fan that brought the volumes or best of sets? It means that they have to shell out more hard earned money for episodes they already have, just so they can complete their collection. Its like the Superman set, now they already know that people are going to want to buy that set, so why hold off on what they held off on. I know the Superboy pilot was probably left off due to legal reasons, but what about the extra deleted scenes. Thy did that to get another 100 plus dollars out of people, even if they already brought the previous sets. So I say screw them. I'll just have a friend burn the disc on a regular DVD and buy it from them.

  10. DAMNIT, I hate this, Cartoon Network is terrible at putting their product out there, we never see reruns of episodes of a cartoon, especially Batman or Young Justice, the only time the shows are advertised or a repeat is shown is during the time in which new episodes are appearing. This has been a huge problem with networks in the past 10 years, with shows going on DVD, and Reality shows being cheap to produce and having a good amount of viewership involved, the networks seem to not care about keeping the interest of the shows they have until a couple weeks before new episodes begin.

    Shows like Tru Calling, Bionic Woman and more had potential, but with them not showing anything on those series during the season hiatus(with Bionic Woman it was the lack of advertisement and the writer's strike that killed the series), interest wained or people forgot. I have been watching B:TBATB, through torrents to catch up, simply because I never remember when the series is on and they never air reruns. Also, I'm gonna wait until the series has ended and they release a Complete Series set, cause these SEASON 1 VOLUME 1, BS, is a huge SCREW YOU, to us fans.

    I wish TV could go back to the way it was, where the shows are shown on a yearly basis, with reruns during the breaks(occasionally a movie instead), instead of stupid SCRIPTED Reality shows and "Talent" shows with no talent.

  11. OK, I watched it today for the first time, and yeah I was definitely disappointed. I don't go into these movies expecting to be wowed or anything, I usually put my expectations low, so perhaps I'll be surprised and like it. First off, the 3D gimmick has never worked, since the 1950's studios have tried to make us shell out more money for the us of glasses that make us look like idiots. In the 50's people were wowed by the images of things coming at them, but in this day and age, when technology is so ramped, its not cool or OMG amazing, its just annoying. I went to see Thor and had no choice, but to see it in 3D, cause my theaters didn't give th 2D version, so I had to shell out like 5 dollars for about 10 minutes worth of useful 3D, while the rest of the film was actually in 2D.

    OK, well I'm getting off the subject here; The Final Destination, just seemed to recycle the same crap again, which isn't surprising, but its like they didn't even try. The acting didn't feel real, it just felt forced, the deaths weren't cool, they were either predictable, stretched out too long or unrealistic(a guy gets suck into a suction drain). Another problem here is the filmmakers did write in a somewhat interesting idea, a lead character that diverts TWO disasters....

    SPOILERS

    Near the end of the film, the lead has a premonition of his girlfriend and her best friend being killed in a mall explosion(starting in the theater where there watching a OMG WHAT A SHOCK, A 3D FILM), by the end of the premonition he sees himself watching her die and than comes back to reality. He than heads to the theaters to stop the disaster and is successful. This means a new group of people were saved from death by this guy, they were all meant to die, due to these two girls being in the area and their still alive. A hobo, later makes a remark that he saved so many people who would have died, but that is all that is mentioned from it.

    Wouldn't this mean that Death was gonna go after those people now? Why not, start the next movie off with him stopping the theater disaster and following a group of the people that were there and finding out what is going on(it could happen in between the two week span before the actual end of the movie)? Instead we are getting yet another stupid 3D film of a bridge disaster. If these films have made anything clear, its that Death never spares, and yet we get a mall full of spared people, plus the two kids, whose mom was killed by a rock through the eye are still alive(they would have died in the racetrack disaster too)

  12. This is such a great series, the stories are tight, consistent with the games bios, acting is by far some of the best I've seen in a long time. The style is great, love the scenery and sets and locations they go too. The effects are pretty good for a budget I would expect is low. I'd say this can make a killing as an actual TV series, maybe on HBO or Showtime and later go on DVD.

  13. Lana wasn't a bad character until she became obsessed with SECRETS AND LIES.

    I did enjoy Lana is the early seasons, between S1-S3 she was actually quite an interesting character, the writers seemed to know what to do with her, keeping the actual mythology of Lana and how there was a romance that was never meant to be and all. Once S4 rolled around, her character seemed to dry out real quick, constantly complaining, being deceptive ans giving off mix signals. The S5 episodes where Clark was human I was able to deal as well, but that is because Clark was more open with her, so she had very little to complain about. Once they broke up that time she really just became a headache. Than when she returned she once again became somewhat tolerable, in fact I was quite moved with the last episode she was in and the emotion. Kristen isn't a bad actress, but I think the writers just gave up on the character.

  14. Do people not realize that Wonder Woman will always look like a hooker in live action? It's a six foot tall woman in fuck-me boots and blue skivvies that uses her bondage rope to tame the bad guys.

    It seems everyone's main point of contention is whether or not she looks like a patriotic hooker.

    Thank you, judging it according to others opinions and by the way she looks is not the way to go. The Aquaman pilot had a hell of a thing going for it, t had two major stars and considering it was a pilot was somewhat engaging. The Crosby pilot was great, but it was called Wonder Woman and that pissed people off, if it wasn't called that it would have turned into a great series.

  15. Seriously? You want the already reputed to be terrible Wonder Woman show to be a Smallville spin-off?

    :shakehead:

    That's the thing, who said it was terrible, a small group of people in a room and few stuffed shirt say this and suddenly its true. I want them to at least show the pilot and let us, the REAL viewers be the judge. I mean even the Crosby pilot, which had NOTHING to do with the character got an airing. NBC is just desperate for viewers and don't want to risk a time slot. The CW, on the other hand is barely scraping by, so they have to take chances.

  16. Now that it's over the CW has nothing, but it would be hilarious if they picked up the Wonder Woman Pilot that NBC recently axed.

    That is actually what I am hoping, it could possibly have Chloe and Tom Welling guest starring at times as their Smallville characters. I know at this moment The CW are trying to figure out what hero they can adapt.

  17. WOOHOOO!!!!

    I hope now that they drop the pilot, the scripts and anything written down about this 'Wonder Woman' series down the deepest hole they can find, fill it in with concrete and put The Destroyer on guard to kill anyone who tries to dig it out. I would also suggest that anyone involved in making it, has their minds wiped of all knowledge of it.

    This was an abomination. It was NOT Wonder Woman, despite all efforts by Kelly, NBC and DC to convince us otherwise. Thank all the gods and goddesses it is now dead. I can only hope that it stays dead.

    I'm actually a bit disappointed, I wanted to see what they had come up with;

    Have you seen the pilot? Cause only seeing images and reading possible storylines on the internet does not give anyone the right to pre-judge. This could have been a great show, NBC passed on this because they are desperate for ratings, so any negativity will make them second guess themselves. The Lynda Carter series I enjoyed, but it was way too campy even for the 70's, but we gave that series a chance and look what happened, its become part of the legacy. I hope its released on a DVD at some point, like Aquaman is going to be.

    If you made a Wonder Woman series or anyone who has said negative stuff on something they haven't seen yet, what would you do? Keep in mind you have TV budget(which is just a tad higher than a Low Budget film)and 2up to a 22 episode per season story arc to write.
