Being able to seperate between identities vocally is such an underrated part of playing a superhero well. Go back and listen to that clip posted instead of watch it. Christopher Reeves is the only person to really nail that about Superman. Not even the animated version hit that so well. That and the naturalistic slouch that it seemss Quitely is the only other person to realize really set apart Reeves' Clark as a different person from Supes.

Tarantino basically set the clock back on casual Superman interpretation 20 years with that pile of dogshit, and I like Tarantino (I even like Death Proof).  drat dude, Death Proof? Really?I don't have a problem with BatBale's snarling. I just find it funny that he whistles as he talks sometimes so he sounds like a toothless crazy man. When I'm reading Batman's dialogue in comics, it's always in Conroy's voice and Joker always in Hamill's voice in my head.

I'm willing to bet it was because Reeve was a theater-trained actor who knew how to make the most of every aspect of the human body to sell a role. You just don't see that same approach with purely screen actors who get reliant on how editing, production design, and costuming can help sell their performance and/or don't find the balance between over the top theatricality and dull understatement.

It's nice to see Tarantino finally just fall in the mud of his exploitation flick roots and be unable to elevate himself out.

quote:Take my favorite superhero, Superman. Not a great comic book. Not particularly well-drawn. But the mythology… The mythology is not only great, it’s unique. Are you sure this was Tarantino, and not Lex?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdWF7kd1tNo It's easily the worst part of both movies, especially because of how condescendingly right Tarantino thinks he is in presenting this little speech.

So Loki's writing Slash, Kamala's on tumblr... and Clark Kent's on blogspot. Comics are getting weird.

that "smug and stupid" scene sort of sweetens his following execution. In the narrative of the movie he winds up being wrong anyway, as her entire struggle was to retire her "superhero/killer" identity and become kiddo/kent full time. I guess you could argue as to whether she does or does not accomplish that since the film ends soon after and you never see how it plays out. Tarantino needs to get schooled on comics by his buddy Sam Jackson

I'm a bunch of pages late on this, but while the rest of that issue is face-meltingly terrible, that Elvis/Galactus 7-page story is legitimately my all-time favorite comic story and that may be my favorite comic page ever. Though you're missing the amazing final panel of Uatu at Elvis' big return concert, wearing suspenders and flannel, claiming that for a few minutes he will be known as the Listener. All while Elvis' shadow is a dancing Galactus.

Look, if you can think of a way to make a Bass Fishing Simulator that doesn't involve a health system, aviation simulators, and a law enforcement engine I'd like to hear it  .

Harvey Kurtzman's interpretation of Superman must drive you guys up the wall then. To him, the creepy "nice guy" version of Clark Kent who's literally begging Lois Lane to be his girlfriend in Action Comics #1 is Superman's real personality. His superhero guise is just a revenge fantasy.  Mad #4

Folks not realizing Bill's speech is a reflection of Bill's sociopathy and how he views other people and not actually an out of nowhere insert of Tarantino's views on Superman.

I answered this in the BSS Movie thread, so go there if you have half a fart's worth of interest, just know that it's not how the speech works in the context of the movie that's the problem.

Remember how everyone loved/loves the panels in Rover Red Charlie where Red keeps asking how his rear end smells? Yeah...well, page 17 of #3 has finally exposed this book as Ennis finally deciding to see how far his name will go. I can't paste the panel here because it's decidedly NMS and NSFW. It's a panel where what looks like a young (and apparently mentally-challenged) boy is literally licking a bulldog's rear end in a top hat clean, while saying 'num num num.' I don't even think DC would've allowed this in Preacher, and they allowed a LOT of poo poo in Preacher.

In the latest issue of Mighty Avengers, Monica Rambeau (Photon/Captain Marvel/etc.) meets a fan who's taken Monica's sudden resemblance to Halle Berry as an excuse to pressure her very young daughter into getting her hair relaxed. I can't help but wonder if this is a dig at Land, as it's only been under him that Monica has switched from her traditional afros and dreads to straight hair.
