Molly Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Good deal. With the film rights, there's more than enough money for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I can't wait to see how this shakes out. He deserved so much better than he got. At the same time, Marvel fought this for decades (just as WB fought the Siegel and Shuster families) because credit has a way of turning into money, so now we're going to see even more examples of creators looking for what they see as being rightfully theirs. If the Daredevil show is a huge hit, will Bill Everett's family come calling? If Shazam! has a stellar opening weekend, C. C. Beck's grandkids will want a word with WB. I'm not saying that's bad (not by a long shot), but it could be chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Oh hey, so it turns out that, in the Batman Beyond comic, Jake Chill is a thing and he's the actual killer of Terry's father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I liked it better when Terry had his own villians. And when the show was just "What If Spider-Man was Batman's son?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedevil Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think it was on Fat Man on Batman where Paul Dini said their concepts for Batman Beyond villains were basically "Batman villain but futuristic and different in some way" Inque was Clayface-ish, Venom became a patch, the Joker inspired a whole gang, all that. Granted I haven't watched all of Batman Beyond yet, but I don't think Terry had that good of a rogues gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Still though, there's a very big difference between "Inque is sorta like Clayface" and "Terry's dad was killed by the grandson of the guy who killed Bruce's parents. And he also has almost the exact same name." The only way it could have been worse is if he was named Joe Chill the third. It also sucks because Mr. Fixx, even though he was only in the first two episodes, was a really cool villain. His fight with Terry is one of the iconic moments from the show.

Molly Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Almost every one of Terry's villians directly correlates to a Spider-Man villian, even if they try and play it off as Batman villians. Blight-Green Goblin Stalker-Kraven Shriek-Electro/Vulture Inque-Hydro-Man/Venom Spellbinder-Mysterio Big Time-Rhino Mad Stan-The Shocker Kobra-Hydra Curare-Black Tarantula Ten-Black Cat Ecetera.

Dread Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well, you can't blame Kobra on Batman Beyond. Kobra was Jack Kirby saying "Fuck You" to Stan Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donomark Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Oh I read that reveal that Warren McGinnis' killer being named "J. Chill". It was very good, helped in no small part by Norm Breyfogle's excellent artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Yet another reason to wait for the trades. The price of trades will probably stay the same as now, but we'll technically be getting either 30% more content per volume or the same amount of content 30% faster.

Molly Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Yup, I'm out. This will be the death knell of me EVER buying floppies, which was a rare enough thing already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I haven't bought a physical floppy in years (I'll VERY occasionally get one at Comixology), but $5 for a funnybook is goddamned insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
