I don't know if I want to see a NEW Wonder Woman. I want to see the super strong, durable, can fly, deflect bullets Wonder Woman. What we've seen in animated movies would be great.

If it turns out she's just a female Batman with the name Wonder Woman, I would have to wonder why they don't just call the show Batwoman.

Will just have to wait and see. I have faith the writing will be good, it's more a question of, will this be Wonder Woman or will this be Wonder Woman in name only.

O that's right they never have. No I'm not bitter.

Aside from his interesting superpower (ruling his own Ruritanian country), the thing I find most interesting about the Black Panther is that he's usually portrayed as a character whose greatest power is a super-genius brain and the ability to plan effectively, which doesn't necessarily make for the same kind of narrative tension in a movie as it can in print. The Black Panther needs to be more than some African guy who wears black and kicks people. We'll see, I guess.

I'm quite against any form of censorship including this, but I have a question.

I noticed (in the US, atleast) that newer songs have to be really censored for radio. Even words like God and references to drugs get censored. Yet the oldie rock station I listen to can play this song or Pink Floyds "Money" uncensored. Both contain coarse language. Why do old songs avoid censorship?

Plus the nuclear winter blotting out the sunlight substantially reduced Superman's power levels. He was still strong, but those missiles that Batman had rigged gave him a far harder time then they should have.

Plus Bruce had the exo armor, and of course he had Green Arrow ready with a kryptonite arrow.

Prep time and knowing your foe are beautiful things.

It seems the devs noted that a lot of players think that melee ATs have an unfair advantage while soloing (whether that is true or not is another discussion, but a lot of people feel it is), so they designed an encounter that is easier with ranged attacks.

That aside, I quite enjoyed the arc as well. It is one that I won't mind repeating when my characters in their 40s finally hit 50 and can do it.

I honestly always liked McFarlanes take on the character. I know many hated the look and the tons of webbing that would fill the frames, but i found it to be pretty nice at that point in time of comic art.

Gargan will come back with a vengeance, I'm sure.

I'm thinking SHIELD will ultimately regret weaponizing the Venom symbiote, but if Dan Slott continues his excellent storytelling, it will be an extremely entertaining ride.



Some writer at some point said that people were kind of creeped out by how Spider-man moved, so McFarlane was running with that concept. Super-flexible and "double-jointed" and fast = weird-looking.

DO you realize how much casual sex those girls on that show had? You don't think WW acting like a woman of questionable morals is going against the "70 years" of history she's built up as some sort of role model?

Maybe this is merely reading too closely into some flack's copy, but perhaps it hints at how Nolan views the characters.
