Frankenstein is probably the lesser of Lemire’s two new 52 books, but it’s tons of fun anyway. While Animal Man…

June 10, 2012 11:50 pm isn't that recurring music jingle the same jingle that they play on the flute to activate the flight deck? they sounded the same to me anyway. it was like a little bit of foreshadowing.
June 7, 2012 9:53 am so, all the guys from the movie plus FALCON?! i at least hope that he gets into all the roommate hijinx with cap that i'm so used to.

June 3, 2012 2:17 am i think it's a good thing, anyway you slice it. i enjoyed spider-man as a teenager because i related to peter parker as a goofy teen that got picked on at school, and i looked up to him as a role model. i'm sure there are a lot of gay kids that get picked on at school that could look up to someone as courageous as alan scott. at first i got held up by the word "iconic", i actually wanted a more iconic character. lots of kids say they want to grow up to be spider-man or batman or superman, but probably no kids want to grow up to be alan scott from earth-2. but there are probably some kids that want to be green lantern when they grow up. actually, alan scott might be the most high profile gay character i can think of. he's more high profile than northstar or bunker. the toss-up is between alan scott and batwoman.
June 3, 2012 2:10 am crass is probably the wrong word, but i'm not sure what the word you're looking for is. maybe something like calculated? like they're trying to make money off of it? they definitely are trying to drive up sales by reaching out to different markets. and i hope that works. maybe more of my friends would read comics if they had more diverse characters! that would be great! crass would be if dc made him the rainbow lantern and gave him assless chaps as a uniform.
June 1, 2012 10:41 pm oh man looks like i need to start buying wolverine and the x-men again. i hope gambit gets punched every issue!
May 23, 2012 10:03 pm imdb has them almost 8 years apart... (OMG ROBOCOP IS ALMOST 65! I FEEL SO OLD RIGHT NOW!) i haven't heard peter weller's voice in a while, but he definitely looks like he probably sounds quite a bit older than conroy... i've always pictured old man batman sounding like clint eastwood sounds these days. eastwood would probably cost more than the entire budget of the movie, so weller looks like he could be a good replacement.
May 23, 2012 9:15 pm heresy! actually, i can understand your pov, and if i'm just looking for a cool and dark batman story then i might go for year one, but i think that dkr is wayyyyy more moving to me. especially the final showdown with supes. i just pretend that it's superman playing a different role, the role of god. then the story ends with batman deciding that, if he's going to go down, he'll go down fighting god. it's a great way to end the story about batman. i'm also a fan of carrie kelly.
May 23, 2012 9:09 pm man these superhero movies are trying to break my bank. even though it will cost more, i'm sooooo glad that this is being split into two movies. year one is a shorter book, and it would be a lot easier to handle in one movie. dkr is long, and it's intricate. it definitely needs the extra space to get done well.
May 23, 2012 9:06 pm i wonder if it might have to do with the fact that dkr stars old man batman, and kevin conroy is more of a middle-aged batman. we'll definitely get an older voice with weller.
