But how does it affect her more than any other superhero used to shill merch?

You son of a *****.

Batman Lipgloss!!

"I am VENGEANCE! I am the NIGHT!! I PROTECT WHILE MOISTURIZING!!!"

But then that begs the question of, if the make-up company wants to make a superhero themed line, who SHOULD they have used?

I suppose someone like Emma Frost might make more sense from a character standpoint, but she has nowhere near the name recognition of Wonder Woman.


I doubt the make-up line will have any bearing on Wonder Woman's movie career one way or the other. Products so far removed from the comic really never do.

Leaving out whether or not I think Wonder Woman make-up is a problem or not; why is it such an insult to the character? Heroes have been used to sell everything from underwear, to shampoo, to snack cakes. Should we call foul because Batman would OBVIOUSLY never eat Hostess Fruit Pies?

I guess I kinda see the point; a female superhero is selling make-up supplies. But I'm not sure how that automatically makes her pandering to men. I'm sure if asked, the majority of women would say they wear make-up mainly because they like how it makes them look. And this is coming from someone who looks at the "Before" and "After" pictures in make-up ads and more often than not, prefers the former.

Wonder Woman has sold plenty of non-stereotypical products in her time. I don't see how make-up is any more insulting to the character than Hostess Fruit Pies. Heck, I think the Batman squirt gun is more insulting than this.

She is?

I thought that was just in that horrible All-Star Batman series.

I miss you Slobo.

Yeah, I'll admit I've mainly stuck to Connery's movies. I've watched some Moore ones and a Timothy Dalton one, but not enough to remember them like I do Sean Connery's. James Bond always seemed so unique to me, but Daniel Craig's version just strikes me as very cookie-cutter and safe. Maybe not in terms of the Bond character, but definitely in terms of Hollywood protagonists.

YEEESSS!!!


I swear, society has made me HATE the words "gritty" and "realistic" something fierce.

**** it, WHY would I want a "realistic" Bond? Isn't that what frickin' Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer are for? I always liked Bond cause he was a smooth talking kind of spy; the dashing rogue archetype. He was one of those rare protagonists who seemed to be really enjoying himself. Something I always find refreshing since so many are obsessed with revenge, haunted by their past, angsting over their life, or any combination of the former.

But no, we couldn't take the James Bond character and ACTUALLY try and breath some new life into the series while still maintaining the legacy and feel of the character.

Naw, we'll just turn him into Jason Bourne. Those movies made a lot of money, right? Let's just do that and throw on the usual buzzwords; "gritty and realistic".






Gag me with a ****ing spoon.

Most likely some dame. They're always makin' a mess of things.

Am I right, fellas?

I always took that as one of the angsty parts of Spiderman. He actually was smart enough to be a great scientist or talented enough to be a great photographer, but was so obsessed with his responsibility as Spiderman that he never pursued anything else.

Also, having to buy the stuff to make his own web fluid was a great aspect to Peter's "everyman" hero archetype. But then I get a bit defensive whenever someone pulls out the argument of "oh, that's too silly for movies". That's the kinda reasoning that led to us almost having a Superman movie where he doesn't fly and wears a light-up costume.

Movie serial killers can do it. Why not a hero?

Well, when I call someone a pansy, I'm specifically calling them a flower.

And then I call into question they're ability to perform photosynthesis.

Note to self: don't attend Luminara's barbeques.

Hawt!!

Pffft, yer just talkin' like a broad now.

Git me a beer, ya Mary.

*burp*
*spit*

I still see no problem with this.


I say to keep going with the idea. Gimme a sitcom starring Wolverine trying to live in the same house with Sabretooth, 'Odd Couple' style. With Deadpool as the wacky neighbor and Mystique as the love interest for the boys to fight over.

I just wanna watch brightly colored heroes punching cyborg-zombie Nazis in the face. When did my comics become so complicated?

The concept has some inherent goofiness (though most comic books do as well), but the Adam West show was more what I was referring to.

To explain myself better, those who can watch and enjoy goofy Batman would be more inclined to enjoy high school Batman. (with whatever levels of goofiness, or lack there of, that he brings)

People who can enjoy the Adam West series for what it was probably would've been into it.

People who don't like a goofy Batman probably wouldn't.
