October 17, 2012 11:59 pm Which I am noticing they're doing (which I love) is keeping the show within a grounded/realistic tone that obviously is inspired by Nolan's Batman Trilogy (or my generation's most defining Trilogy, IMO), but that also means that they are keeping their villains relatively grounded as well & my question is whether DC has enough villains who do not have superpowers that would be able to fit into Arrow & no Flash's Rogues do not count as their weapons are their superpowers & I mean to last the show for a healthy amount of seasons (if it continues to provide such great quality for that long), basically like 4 or 5 seasons worth of villains & that's also assuming/expecting villains to make return appearances & some new ones crafted from already introduced characters (i.e. Ollie's Mom & Tommy Merlyn, hint hint).

October 17, 2012 9:01 pm Um.....wow! Talk about a twist of an the ending! Who the hell could that be? Are they taking a Morrison Action Comics turn here with Oliver? Can't wait til next week, two words: DEAD SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!! : )

October 17, 2012 8:45 pm @Conor I agree there's a lot of Mike Grell in this show, with touches of Year One here & there, but as long as they keep up with the Grell inspired stuff, this show should be consistently compelling, albei the action is pretty top notch i.e. Laurel's home invasion from the Triads.

October 17, 2012 8:43 pm I will admit that the humor from Ollie from the comics is pretty much abandoned on the show, but the core subject matter & the devotion to his city is still there. If anything it really is much more of Batman with a bow & arrow than Green Arrow from the comics, but its still very interesting. I would say that the transition from the comics to this show is very similar to The Walking Dead comics to their TV adaptation, b/c the comic actually had some humor in it, but the show pretty much is almost entirely grim & shocking. I guess that the melancholy is the thing for now &then in the case of Arrow, I accept it.

October 17, 2012 7:27 pm This has been a nice surprise for me. Its captivating, not cringe-worthy (or as much as Smallville was, at least towards the end of the series) & it actually captures most of the spirit of the Green Arrow character, even though they changed some names around (I admit that Arrow does sound, slightly better, but only slightly, however Starling City will have to grow on me). My intro to Green Arrow was Diggle & Jock's Year One so this episode is definitely the one I am most excited for & I hope its going to be great : )

September 23, 2012 8:28 pm This was fantastic. Definitely exceeded my expectations. Not the best comic book film, but definitely one of the best thats not from DC or Marvel. This movie has made me want to pick up Judge Dredd comics & have now bought the America trilogy. Wonder if they'll make any sequels with its somewhat strong performance overseas (i.e. Hellboy)?

August 24, 2012 6:26 pm I am saddened to see him leave. Brubaker has done God-like things over @ Marvel, yet I feel so glad for him to be able to go out on his own & get more money through Image with the really awesome Fatale. Will stick with Winter Soldier after Brubaker for a few issues, but if its not clicking, then I'm out.

August 22, 2012 7:03 pm Never read a Liefeld book. Never wanted to. Only character I like from him is Deadpool, but only on Uncanny X-Force. So to this news update I say "Meh" lol : )

August 22, 2012 2:45 pm I would argue that they are not actually kissing, but about to & thus Superman's hands are just about to take hold of Wonder Woman. Yet there is definitely passion here, that much is clear, whether or not you deem this to be a formidable cover is purely of your taste. I for one find it quite alluring & elegant with the sun in the bottom right corner of the cover being an especially nice touch as it is implying the "God-like" beings that these two are & that they are so powerful to "rise" above the Sun & thus implying the heavens as well, but that's arguable. Its not the best Jim Lee, nor is it the best cover of the year so far, but it is quite a pretty, if not beautiful image of arguably the two most powerful beings in the new DCU, in passionately in love's embrace, IMO.

August 22, 2012 2:37 pm Yes! Finally bringing the Metal back to THOR!!! lol : )
