I don't really like the whole "it was all a dream" aspect of it, but at least it's perhaps their way of admitting that previous movies were ****. And the only thing that gives me hope about this one is that there's an allusion to a potential endgame. As in:

1. Create virus that makes zombies and mutants to wipe out mindkind
2. ???
3. Profit

This needs to be explained so the heroes actually have a plan of their own as opposed to fighting zombie minions the whole time. If they can do this instead of backing out of it and making it yet another "to be continued" movie, it doesn't have to suck like the others.

This will be rushed and horrible unless they have exactly the right people working on it being given total control. However, this is extremely unlikely given what happened to Green Lantern.

Simply put, DC is doing it wrong right now. They want the attention and success without putting in the groundwork.

I thought it was funny. Some of the digs didn't really make sense but I think they knew that and sort of undercut their own criticisms by admitting it was still awesome and succeeded. And the Tommy Boy reference was win.

I think what makes people wary, fans and execs alike, is that some can have it in their head that because these movies are a part of the same universe, they have to have similar tones and styles. However, I think this would be a mistake since this is not how the source material is presented.

It's kind of like what's happening now with the Superman movies supposedly needing a darker, grittier tone because that's what works for Batman.

I think they need to be willing to take some of these characters in a lighter or darker tone accordingly. With She-Hulk, for example, it's a concept that can work if they follow along the lines of Dan Slott's super-lawyer run from the comics and perhaps the zanier "he/she's a mild-mannered person who thinks they have it all figured out until x circumstance comes along and changes their life" concept that's at the heart of (just an example) movies like Liar Liar or Big Daddy.

It doesn't all have to be some hardcore high-stakes story about the superhero needing to step up and save a city or the world, and even if it is, it doesn't have to approach it with the same tone and style as others have.

Maybe it's just me but about the only ones I could see actually happening anytime soon are She-Hulk and Spider-Girl, more so with the former because the later could be bogged down with all the non-references to Spider-Man.

Go on YouTube and search for "Kevin Smith talks about Superman." And that's why. DC has its own movie production studio ready to go since Warner Bros. owns DC, but there's undoubtedly a lot of wishy-washy-ness and executive interference that prevents the people who actually know what they're doing from putting these movies together.

Er, in the latest Terminator, they had John Connor and Kyle Reese trapped and once again sent a single Terminator against them, and when it got within skull-crushing reach, it just kept throwing them across the room. Like it always does. Their ability to fail at assassination is second only to the guy who shot Gabrielle Giffords.

Avengers. Not even close.

The Terminators are historically, hilariously bad at their jobs. It's almost like they operate on the reverse-ninja rule except they still fail at the end.

I tend to think of it in terms of "Trade Paperback" being a collection of single issues comprising one or more specific story arcs, while "Graphic Novels" are singular stories told in comic book form. For example, Pride of Baghdad is a graphic novel because it's not a collection but rather printed as if it's all one comic book issue, and Watchmen is a trade paperback because it's collecting issues related to one story, whether it's a limited series being collected in full or one or two collected arcs of an ongoing series.

I prefer to think that Loki got information about Cap from Red Skull.

Supreme Power is like an Ultimate version of Squadron Supreme, Marvel's lesser known equivalent to the Justice League. It's a limited series that takes place outside the standard Marvel universe and it's intended for adult readers, as it contains graphic violence, nudity, and adult language. It mainly revolves around Hyperion, a Superman-like alien refugee turned superhero. However, it has a darker twist in that he's shaped from the get-go to turn out like a superhero. Things get really interesting when he starts to question whether or not he wants to keep taking orders. J. Michael Straczynski, Babylon 5 creator, gives it a sci-fi and gritty slant, but it's got its fun moments, as well as good art provided by Gary Frank. You'll notice some similarities to Secret Identity, but I think Supreme Power is a tad better.

I'd actually recommend against The Boys if he enjoys that Captain America type character. The Boys has some good moments but Ennis' utter distaste for superheroes makes the arcs where they hunt down Degenerate Superhero #437 seem drawn out and unnecessary compared to the ones that are actually relevant to the overall story.

I wonder how the sensors of these cars will respond to those daredevil animals that seem to take pleasure in diving in front of your car or only moving out of the way at the last second.

I'm going to go with:

Supreme Power
Marvel 1602
Superman: Secret Identity
