Wait....Nite Owl wasn't based on Batman? Maybe I just don't know enough about Blue Beetle but he seemed pretty batman based to me.

There's shades of Batman to Nite Owl, but he's mostly Blue Beetle. All the Watchmen characters were originally going to Charleton Comics characters since DC had recently acquired them. But DC decided they had plans for them so Alan Moore had to change them up. Ted Kord Blue Beetle is also a billionaire vigilante, but without the broodiness.

Niteowl also carries over the Legacy aspect of Ted Kord Blue Beetle, which isn't a thing with Batman until Terry gets involved.

The owl motif makes him seem more Batman-ish because Blue Beetle's look is not dark or menacing or predatory. You can also see the similarities in their flying ships, which are ships. Whereas the Batwing is usually a plane with only a cockpit.

Shouldn't be surprising, given the director. And that comics have been ripping off Watchmen pretty much ever since it came out, and usually missing the point. The Watchmen cast were originally Charlton Comics characters, but DC's editors wanted them different because they'd probably never be able to use them again after that. Nite Owl is Blue Beetle, Rorchach is The Question, I think Silk Spectre is Black Canary (though not sure on that) and Doctor Manhattan is Captain Atom. Obviously, they got changed a lot in the writing process. No idea who Ozymandias is. (Ironically enough, Ozymandias combines traits of Batman, Lex Luthor and Superman) The owl motif is used as an opposition to Batman quite often, winged nocturnal predators and all that. Of course, these days most people would think of Blue Beetle as a young hero with an alien scarab power suit he argues with. ...wait, isn't that Spider-Man now?

There's also Owlman in DC lore to extra complicate things for people doing cursory searches.

Yeah I've got no idea who that is either.

Working class black Batman would be a pretty interesting angle to take the character to new places. It definitely won't be done because you can easily predict the endless whining of "not my Batman", but its still fertile ground.

Deadpool 2 (also John Wick and Atomic Blonde) director David Leitch wants to have fun with Domino's probability-altering powers.quote:We're having fun with her power, because when you really distill it -- the laws of probability... So I think there's a lot of ways to go with it, and I think we have some really cool visual ideas of how we can demonstrate that. And then also there's the Deadpool tone of how you can be self-referential to all powers. So it's going to be fun.

Klungar posted:How do Domino's powers compare to Longshot's? Same deal? Longshot is more about being lucky and good things happening because of that. Domino is more about like, the very laws of probability changing in her favor and against others. They're pretty similar, but Domino probably has the more powerful of the two.

With their powerset, Longshot could win the lottery if he got a ticket for it. Domino could win the lottery of another country that she has no actual way to win.

Expecting some Final Destination kind of silliness. Luck powers are tricky, and best when the character has no control over them.

I have no idea who Domino is and I'm getting concerned that we're about to move into the 90's X-TREME era of comic book adaptations. I suppose it was inevitable (and I'm showing my age because I checked out of comics around 1990) but I'm not real hyped for a Lobo, Cable, Venom, Youngblood, New Mutants or a BloodBlood movie. Or a Spawn remake either. I think I'm getting burned out on this poo poo and want another Godfather, Glengary Glen Ross or Dog Day Afternoon mixed in somewhere amidst all the punching and the capes. Every other god damned film is a comic book and I think we've finally reached over saturation. The drop off on Spiderman seems to suggest people are getting tired of this stuff too. I'm down for a Moon Knight Netflix series though, a properly done stand alone FF period piece or a solo Hulk movie that follows up on IH. Man, I sound cranky, but I've had Dr. Strange in my queue for 6 weeks now and have no urgency to watch it.
