James D. Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Yep. Watch the episode "Twilight" and listen to Newburn's voice. It's amazing how dark the character sounds there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damndirtyape Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Firstly. Thank Fuck we are finally on the Justice League, the Teen Titans and the JLU. On a down point though I agree with Mike. I have always hated the intro animation to the JL. The score is fantastic but the weird 3d animation models of the JL members are terrible. They bare no resemblance to any of the characters and just seems out of place. On a separate issue. I admit I know nothing about Wonder Woman. All I do know is from the DCAU and the WW animated movie (which was awesome) but I have never been able to get why she can fly. As an Amazon I get the great strength and agility and I know she is born of Gods and Goddesses but flying really? and given that she can fly, why the invisible jet?

James D. Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 She was born to have most of the Olympian gods' greatest attributes--the speed of Hermes, the strength of Zeus, the wisdom of Athena, etc. I don't see why she wouldn't be able to fly--to me, that falls under the "Hermes" category. As far as the invisible jet goes, I just assume that they took Themysciran technology and added it to Steve Trevor's downed jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess to me it always looked weird as a character design when she is flying. For some reason it doesn't sit well with me. The others I belive. She just jars for some reason.

KnightWing Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 As far as the invisible jet goes, I just assume that they took Themysciran technology and added it to Steve Trevor's downed jet. The jet is one of the most convoluted things in the DCU. The Wonder Woman animated DVD film explains it slightly in the directors' commentary: that it was some magical thing the Amazons had that modeled itself after the technology of Steve Trevor's plane. Of course, they don't say that in the actual film, because actually trying to explain the jet makes you sound like a crazy person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFlash Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 not only in Twilight James also in Destroyer... but I know you guys will get to that And Newbern has the best Superman "in pain" screams! Unfortunately, in the first season, they gave him way too many opportunities to show that...but they've owned up. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewMG Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 and given that she can fly, why the invisible jet? I believe it's a hold over from the golden age when Wondie couldn't fly and the amazons were a technologically advanced society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's a hold over from the golden age when Wondie couldn't fly and the amazons were a technologically advanced society. Also, it helps her when she needs to carry passengers, like Batman in "For the Man Who Has Everything" and Steve Trevor in the WW movie. Besides, would you want to exert all that mental force necessary to fly across the Atlantic ocean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Besides, would you want to exert all that mental force necessary to fly across the Atlantic ocean? Batman would. Because he's Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Batman would. Because he's Batman. This is why Batman cries alone in his cave: He has all the supersonic planes he could ever want, but he can't will himself to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolB Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Just wanted to post a clarification about my email regarding Hotstreak. Didn't mean to imply that the scene in the hospital in the first episode or so was why he hated hospitals. Meant that perhaps the stay in the hospital when he was younger before the show started could have been a contributing factor to why he got out of there as fast as he did. Granted, as hot headed as he is he probably would have anyway, but something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolB Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Also, another count you could do in Justice League. Things said/done by Hawkgirl that seem innocent but could have a hidden meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Crud, sent an feedback e-mail about Hippolyta and didn't even realize that the hair thing has been said all over on the thread. As for counts, one must also look at the "Batman defies to laws of probability by surviving" count. Seriously, the sheer amount of times that Batman should be dead in Justice League is exponential.

"this is batman I need air support since I can't fly AT ALL" also in starcrossed when he guides the watchtower to target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamvidger Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 You guys should review "Comfort And Joy" early, since the next WFP episode is coming on Christmas Eve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, except that that episode deals with two entire seasons' worth of character building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Just finally getting to listen to this one. Not even into SO yet but I had to chime in on the second to last letter: I LOVE Mastodon but I'm not so sure I want to see a Jonah Hex movie with a heavy metal soundtrack...

Erin B. Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 A thought has occurred to me: Could the character of Senator Carter be paying homage to Edgar Rice Burroughs' character John Carter from his Martian books? Senator Carter is referred to as J. Allen Carter. The J could stand for John. He was an astronaut visiting Mars. Burroughs' character of John Carter was a Confederate officer who was transported to Mars and is then referred to as John Carter of Mars. Coincidence? For those interested, I highly recommend Burroughs' Martian novels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
