Calexico Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Even though my wife told me it was totally inappropriate for 4 year olds, I bought my 4 year old the first season of Justice League Unlimited on DVD. It turned out to be totally inappropriate for a 4 year old, but I love it. And I second the props for Green Lantern. I'm also a big fan of Martian Manhunter. Nice to see the love for the Lantern!

aricandover Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Nice to see the love for the Lantern! you into the Green Lantern Corps, or are you just a Hal Jordan fan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 you into the Green Lantern Corps, or are you just a Hal Jordan fan? I was a Jordan fan from years back but I did get into the whole Corps mythology. I like Jon Stewart and Kyle Rayner. Never liked the Guy Gardner one. Kilowog is one huge mofo though.

lizish Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 yes, this is true. Moore wanted to use the Charlton characters, but DC nixed the idea (they wanted to use them themselves, so they could fuck them up 20 years later) and yes, the DC sheild (actually it's called the DC Bullet) is on the Watchmen books, but their story takes place outside of the DC Universe, it's not even part of any multiple earths that DC used to use. therefore, they are not DC Suprheroes, regardless of what logo they have on their books or what characters they were based on. Bullet / Shield, Charlton / DC, whatever. DC owns 'em, they are DC characters. You should go back to being Pervert, pervert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Bullet, Shield, Vertigo, DC, whatever. DC owns 'em, they are DC characters. You should go back to being Pervert, pervert. yes, they are, but they aren't DC superheroes in the sense that Superman, Batman, Nightwing, Green Lantern, etc. are. and that's the point I'm making. and I think i'll stick with this name, because it's truer to my roots.

Never liked the Guy Gardner one. Kilowog is one huge mofo though. there's a new Corps book out now, written by Dave Gibbons. but it focuses on Guy alot, so you might not dig it. Kyle's no longer a GL, they've turned him into Ion, haven't seen Stewart in awhile, and Jordan is back to being the top dog of the Corps, along as a member of the new Justice League.

Calexico Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 The Ion thing is pretty cool though, like the costume. Nice to see Hal back where he belongs though. Rebirth was great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree about rebirth, it was great. I was a little bummed about Kyle getting pushed out of the top spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aricandover Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Must admit that GL is pretty cool: Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams' run on GL/GA was great. especially when they got into Roy Harper's heroin addiction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WildMercurySound Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Pretty stoked for Spiderman 3. Still haven't seen X-Men 3 despite (/because of) being a big fan of the first 2 and the X-Men in general. I didn't grow up reading comics though, so I struggle to get into the complex universes. On a related note, I think Y: The Last Man would make a great TV series. Y: The Last Man is Vaughan's attempt to subvert the classic male fantasy of being the last man on earth. In the series, something (speculated to be a plague) simultaneously kills every mammal possessing a Y chromosome - including embryos, fertilized eggs, and even sperm - with the exception of Yorick Brown, a young amateur escape artist, and his Capuchin monkey, Ampersand. Society is plunged into chaos as infrastructures collapse and the surviving women everywhere try to cope with the loss of the men, their survivors' guilt, and the knowledge that humanity is doomed to extinction. Vaughan meticulously crafts the new society that emerges out of this chaos, from the conversion of the phallic Washington Monument to a monument to the dead men, to the genesis of the fanatical ultra-feminist Daughters of the Amazon, who believe that Mother Earth cleansed itself of the "aberration" of the Y chromosome, to male impersonators becoming valued romantically and professionally. Over the course of their journey, Yorick and his friends discover how society has coped in the aftermath of the plague. However, many of the women they encounter have ulterior motives in regards to Yorick. Though the subject matter of the series is entirely serious, Y: The Last Man is also noted for its humor. Yorick in particular is a source of one-liners, although the other characters have their moments as well.- from Wikipedia You can read the first issue here (PDF) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 A Wolverine movie is mooted now as well I see. SNIKT indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 A Wolverine movie is mooted now as well I see. SNIKT indeed. give it an R rating, set it in Madripoor and I'm there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 give it an R rating, set it in Madripoor and I'm there. That's the way to do it but unfortunately studios got to cater to the kids. So no go I reckon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 That's the way to do it but unfortunately studios got to cater to the kids. So no go I reckon. yeah, it's funny because for the most part, the comics don't really cater to kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Good news: There's a Y: The Last Man flick on the table, and Brian K. Vaughan is writing the first draft of the screenplay. I guess the question is whether a sixty-issue funnybook will work as a two-hour Hollywood movie. I have no idea, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 yeah, it's funny because for the most part, the comics don't really cater to kids. I suppose not but they are aimed at them primarily. A decent Flash movie would be good too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
