Oh so they're replacing Agent Ward's role on the team with someone who's exactly the same as him minus the interesting part. Can't wait.

Agent Ward was even the slightest bit interesting?

mind the walrus posted:Agent Ward was even the slightest bit interesting? Throwdown posted:Agent Ward wasn't interesting until he went evil. Right, and this is just going to be him minus that by the sounds of it. I mean, here's hoping they actually have some interesting ideas for the character, but that description does absolutely nothing to get me excited for the new season.

Come in Taskmaster! That is a non-answer level of generic anti-hero description.

Oh boy here's how they are going to do the Joker on Gothamquote:Basically, every episode in the first season will introduce a character that might be a future Joker, each emphasising aspects of the character’s iconography, a card sharp, a flower seller, a clown, or just a guy with a very big grin. As a lover of endless and baseless pan-internet speculation, I am obviously hype as gently caress for this.

It'll just be performers in the background of a club and one week it'll be "oh he has a purple suit", next time "oh he has green hair", "oh he has an assistant with blonde hair/he laughs loudly/he has a creepy grin" and so on.

Sounds like they're chickening out on actually casting the Joker and just throwing actors at it and waiting for viewer feedback.

My money is on it being that kid who had his parents gunned down in an alleyway. That's got to drive any person insane.

Cool idea in abstract, but every episode is overkill.

Obviously it is going to be entirely based on how they execute it. If it is seriously one guy in a purple suit or with green hair for 10 seconds out of every 20 minute episode, I don't really think it will be overkill. It depends on how much focus they actually give it.

They're going to have him be someone totally unrelated who's been there the whole time, like a CSI guy or something, and pretend it's clever.

They're clearly going for some high level Grant Morrison archetypal stuff, I'm really impressed. The series finale will probably feature Bruce Wayne apotheosizing into Batman by battling the idea of madness, the cosmic seed of pure chaos, which transcends any mere individual. A thousand voices cry out in a cacophony, and a single voice, in order with itself, overwhelms each one in turn. We realize that the Joker-potential lurks within every one of us, each week, just as the Batman-potential (Young Bruce) does. I have high hopes for this series. e: f,b. omg chael crash posted:What if were all jokers!! Makes u think... Mimir fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Jul 16, 2014 |

I would kill for a live action Spider-Man show that played up how hard everyday life would be to be a teenaged superhero and toned down the over-the-top cinematic web slinging.

I pity the unknown actors cast as potential Joker's and what will happen to their career when they don't make it. Like how almost being the Joker is going to be their career highlight. Actor: I played Panicky Joker number 2 on Gotham.

I mean like Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane. Blow your season's effects budget on one or two big action sequences, let the rest be a (really well written) high school drama that involves a kid who leads a double life as Spider-Man.
