July 15, 2010 6:23 pm I scanned thru the last 15 posts or so. Is anyone else as annoyed as I am to see Reynolds as GL, not to mention his getting cast as, I dunno, everyone heroish forever? Apologies if this topic is so old that's it's annoying to rehash.

January 31, 2009 7:26 pm @conor I respectfully disagree.  It's not melodramatic to have childhood dreams destroyed by feature films.  The ratio of comics -> literary adaptiations is dramatically larger than that of comics -> film.  And waiting for a film adaptation takes tremendous patience and forgiveness - we wait and wait as we see production stills and other leaks only to have to try and swallow our misgivings to enjoy a feature length film that will be the yardstick for months to years until another (hopefully better and streamlined) version comes along.
