Not only that, but he turns into crows. They're probably smoke crows, but still. That isn't the worst of it though. They have him possessing people, but instead of him sitting back as the boss and having his minions do the dirty work, he does the dirty work himself. He possesses Glorious Godfrey instead of Godfrey being one of his servants. Things start to look up when he goes to Club Desaad, which is an S&M club. Desaad? Owning an S&M club? Smallville got something right. But instead of Darkseid being there to observe humanity's deviances and perhaps exploit them, he's actually there to be dominated. Ah, no. If Darkseid is going to indulge in something sexual, he's going to be the one doing the dominating. Desaad on the other hand would, but Smallville clearly didn't think of that. When Clark asks Kara why Darkseid is so powerful (I missed how Kara knows all about Darkseid if they said it at all), Kara responds that it's because he can see your fears and doubts. That's nice, but there's also the tiny matter of the fact he's a GOD. She also says that Darkseid cannot possess a human who is pure of spirit, which completely contradicts Darkseid's resurrection in Final Crisis. Then you have the Smallville-isms that you would expect from the show. The eyes of the person he possesses turn black (an effect hijacked from fellow CW TV show Supernatural), the voice of Darkseid is digitally altered to sound deeper, there's a pun on the name, and instead of being called Darkseid, he's referred to as "The Darkness" or "The Dark Spirit." Even though the comics provided a means for Smallville to use him and the rest of the New Gods on their budget, I knew they'd turn a blind eye to that and do Darkseid their own way. I knew they would butcher the character, but they continue to surprise me with just how badly they can fail at bringing a character from comics to television.

It's "does whatever a spider can." Morons.

Source Chris Samnee doing a Doctor Who story is going to be fantastic. Edit: Bummer, he's only doing a cover.

Smallville, how can you get something so right like having Desaad own an S&M club and then fuck Darkseid up? It's uncanny.

The stupidity levels are high tonight.

Tonight's episode started off with Batman and Batgirl against Killer Moth. Now there's the Doom Patrol, Brain, and Monsieur Mallah. Good times.

The Line Is Drawn #10 - Comic Book Characters In Different Genres

Since Superman Returns was a love letter to the Donner films more than its own film, I'd be willing to bet that was intentional on the directorial and script fronts to align him with Hackman's portrayal.

Looks like I spoke too soon about Marvel. Maybe.

I'm going to be nitpicky as hell and ask why Cap isn't in Bryan Hitch's World War II costume.

Oh, this shall be glorious.

Working on an abstract to apply to an academic conference. Now I feel like a college student.

As I've said before, I think Dark City is a good film, I own the DVD in fact. I just don't see it as the masterpiece other people see it as. I can see why it would look I hate it though considering all of the pokes I've taken at Dubs. As Dark City was written by three people, that isn't one I'd hold against him.

The guy who wrote Blade: Trinity and The Unborn? Yeah, him.

Or because Goyer is a terrible writer.

I look forward to Terry going up against Scarecrow, Mad Hatter Ventriloquist, Killer Croc, Mr. Zsasz, Clayface, Calendar Man, Deadshot, Firefly, Killer Moth, Poison Ivy, Maxie Zeus, and Crazy Quilt

By slam dunk do you mean resembling cardboard? Hey now, Welling has the rights to being a cardboard Superman.
