Is the 1984 Supergirl movie "cannon" then? Shaq's Steel? Linda Carter's Wonder Woman TV series? Superfriends?? The DCAU/Dini-verse?!

No to the Supergirl movie and Steel, technical yes to Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman as said. The end of Infinite Crisis teased an appearance of Gleek, but nothing else Superfriends.

DCAU is the best kind of technical yes, they got Kevin Conroy to play Kingdom Come's Batman.

loving Ezra Miller had a 2 second cameo, so they have to rewatch all those movies too. Which just makes me feel bad for the kid, when he first played the Flash (again, in a 2 second cameo) I'm sure he was told and convinced he'd be starring in his own multi-feature franchise and it ends in a whimper and a brief cameo on a CW show.

Hawkeye - Freefall #4: Ronin is taking down/robbing a bunch of safe houses of supervillain The Hood and leaving a trail of bodies in his wake (though that part is something he's only framed for). Hawkeye (who is actually Ronin) and several other heroes are trying to take him down.

Shouldn't like everyone affiliated with either Daredevil or the Avengers know that whoever is in the Ronin costume is probably either Hawkeye or Echo? Did someone else start wearing that outfit since Bendis' New Avengers?

As part of the setup, near the beginning of the story, Hawkeye-as-Ronin raids a government transport to steal a piece of Kang technology that lets him move forward an hour in time before looping back (basically like the Time-Turner in Harry Potter, if you get that reference). He then uses this to pull the classic "two places at once" trick by kicking his own rear end (plus Bucky and Sam) in issue 1.

Most of this story arc is Clint desperately trying to gaslight his closest friends with increasingly convoluted plans and it's really great.

When Daredevil enlisted him on this hunt for Ronin, Clint was actually wearing the Ronin costume. For some weird reason he didn't notice that at all.

The show was terrible by the way, bottom barrel Scooby-Doo. Original series, pup named, the Scooby-Doo "movies" (40 minute episodes where either the Harlem Globetrotters, Don Knotts, or Batman and Robin guest starred) were all much better. Mostly because there were no actual ghosts in any of those.

I really just hate everything involving Scooby-Doo where there's actual supernatural poo poo happening.

All my Scooby-Doo Knowledge is from the 90's and earlier shows (and the Supernatural crossover, which is an insane thing to exist), I haven't even seen the live action films, google tells me that's from a newer thing.

The genius of Scooby-Doo was that it was never an actual ghost, Scooby and Shaggy would always think it was a real ghost and still help, simultaneously being the biggest cowards and the bravest people there, and at least one of Freddie, Daphne or Velma would at one point also think it was a real ghost.

But it'd always be someone pretending to be a ghost either to drive down property prices so they could fleece someone wanting to build a railroad, or a bootleg record printing operation in a cave.

Shaggy "accidentally" killed his brother. Overcome with grief he made a deal with Satan and his brother was returned to life, his soul forever bound to the family dog.
Having lost all memory of his previous life, he is content to blindly follow his murderer as he destroys the livelihoods of amusement park owners throughout the United States.

How do you feel about the Scooby-Doo KISS movie, where it turns out KISS are either a team of alien superheroes protecting the universe from evil, or possibly that KISS are entirely normal and Shaggy just dreamed they were?

I hate you so much right now.

Also they don't investigate amusement parks that still have people visiting them, they save the livelihood of amusement park owners. The ghost is always someone who wants to buy the amusement park for cheap because they know the government is about to eminent domain it for something and the ghost has lawyers who can argue it's worth way more than they paid for it two week ago.

Haven't seen it, but I bet it's worse than the half dozen episodes they've done with the Harlem Globetrotters.

And there is a very valid lesson to learn from all that.
That if someone is going around saying that the place is haunted by Miner 49er or some Phantom, that the reason is they are looking to make money off you.
That the Supernatural is a tool used by the greedy to make money.

But equally there is another important lesson. That even after having literal years worth of experience exposing con-men using the Supernatural as cover for their crimes, Shag and Scooby never lose hope.
They don't pre-judge any situation and always go into it thinking that this time it could be a real ghost.
And that shows courage to face something that they fear. It shows wisdom to not assume they know the answer.
But it also shows faith. Faith that they will one day meet with the Supernatural, something actually beyond the natural world and that they will know what to do with it when they meet it without scepticism.


Which is a good thing to. As one day Dracula might turn you into a Wolfman and then force you to race against the Mummy, the Frankenstieners and a Werewolf (which is different to a Wolfman.) For your humanity.

And while a lesser person might crack under such pressure, Shaggy's whole life has prepared him for that situation and he knows what to do.

I was going to point out that Shaggy consistently cracks under no pressure, but he certainly does have relevant experience there.
