What a loving shame that people immediately dismissed the Flintstones book as some kind of mockery on the same level as a porn parody, because the amount of love and care that appears to have gone into this book is a cut above what I'd expect from any of the publishers right now. This looks and sounds great.

I don't think people were dismissing it on the level of a porn parody, but just saying that the art makes it look like a porn parody.

Because it does. That art makes it look like you're gonna open the book and see Fred and Barney tag-teaming Betty.

Is both actually.

In the pre Flashpoint DCU Jason was resurrected by the reality-punch but since he was resurrected in the same state he died, he had massive cerebral damage that was only fixed until he was dropped in the Lazarus Pit.

In the N52 originally was believed that he was resurrected simply by the Lazarus Pit, however, his Secret Origins issue revealed he actually was resurrected by unknowns means and he was pretty much a husk until Talia dropped him in the Pit. The whole sequence was drawn in a clear callback to the reality punch so it might still hold for the N52/Rebirth Jason.

Only in the animated movie he has been resurrected by the Pit.

Why do you use your gift for evil?

I like D_T because even when his opinion sucks he puts a lot of thought into whatever he's talking about regardless of if I agree or not. It's respectable. Dude is just as sometimes dumb but really engaged fan, as are we all deep down.

You've got some serious Freudian problems if the muscularity of an average cape book, when applied to characters in another setting, sets off your erotica warning system.

Buff rear end Flintstones is an interesting art direction. I think it serves the story they're trying to tell very well.

I just watched Batman Bad Moon an hour ago, and they make fun of Batwing for choosing the name of their plane there.

The movie was ok, but they went loving nowhere with the Clone Damien subplot.

Bad Blood. Also they really did not need to Kill all of the villains involved in the plot. The only villains that survive the movie are the Cameo's Blockbuster and Penguin, and the Black Mask who has a minor role and is skirmished with.

Oh it's not a good movie. I watched it because I could not ignore the fact that Batwoman was in it. I got Alfred kickboxing a guy and then they blew Mad Hatter's head off (literally with like a bomb of some kind). And Batwoman was all "gently caress YOU I use GUNS" and the whole thing is pretty dump.

The art looks like people in low-budget costumes. It's not a good look. Costumes work for superheroes BECAUSE they are wearing costumes. These straddle the line between accuracy to the original and reinvention in a way that doesn't really hit either well.

Your memory is fuzzy. Alfred punches a dude into a big machine, which shorts out. Hatter is connected the machine and it causes his head to explode.

I'm alright with all the villain kills since it's a series of movies and not a tv show. They've got a huge stable of characters to use.

How'd they gently caress up Batwoman? And was this Kathy Kane or Kate Kane Batwoman?

Kate. I don't know if you've read her original origin story in Elegy, where she beats up a mugger, gets startled by Batman, who was there to stop the mugging himself, and falls down (she was also drunk at the time). Batman merely helps her to her feet and swings off, and she sees the Batsignal in the sky as a different kind of a call to arms.

In the movie she is attacked by a crowd of dudes and ultimately needs Batman's help to take them out, then she slaps his hand away when he tries to help her up. Batman strides away sneering "You're welcome." She spends the entire movie shooting at people with guns and acting like a snotty teenager with something to prove. She's basically portrayed as the lesbian version of Jason Todd which is a phrase I am SO sorry I had to type.

Badly written Huntress is pretty similar to Jason Todd too, now that you mention it. Except Batman actually rejects Huntress for killing people instead of accepting her wholeheartedly and telling his son who's struggling against his assassin training how cool and good she is for killing people.
