The bat on her jacket is still my favourite bit of costume design both in Injustice, and of Harley in anything that's not her TAS design.

That scene was good enough that they ripped it wholesale and used it in the best episode of the first season of Supergirl

McCloud posted:The movies get him just fine, friend. He may not be the silver age father figure comic book fans yearn for, but that's part of the appeal. *sighing, unsheathes my katana* OK, I'll bite: What about him do you think the movies capture the essence of, and how do you justify that after the majority seem to feel the portrayal lacks key signifiers of the character?

A She-Hulk book once established that if you're a Hulk, your Hulk form gets stronger in direct proportion to your own baseline strength, so Jen Walters started hitting the weights so She-Hulk would be more buff.

Holy poo poo, we really are in a timewarp. Rhyno's brining up Ned in the movies thread and now nerds are talking poo poo about Juan Bobillo's art in She-Hulk (which was the bomb, y'all are blind and probably hated Henderson on Squirrel Girl too)

drrockso20 posted:The main problem with her art is that she is ridiculously inconsistent when it comes to drawing faces, although she has issues being consistent in other aspects of her art as well(like for example Doreen is supposed to have a female Powerlifter sort of physique, but that's rather hard to notice most of the time because Henderson rarely bothers to put any muscle definition on her, so she appears more chubby than anything much of the time*) Uh, I actually never got 'powerlifter' as SG's physique. I got "is a size 10" or what you defined as 'chubby'. Which is also unique for women in comics, because most artists don't know how to draw anything except pin-up model.

Hell, some of the worst comics ever drawn have been very talented artists chasing the house style or even just the prevailing trend. Look at the litany of good pencillers who tried to copy Liefeld and McFarlane in the mid 90s and turned out butt-ugly work that looks ten times worse that what they're imitating.

drrockso20 posted:Yeah there's a really great moment between her and Jarvis on that very topic The first run had a really good issue with Janet's view of the whole domestic violence situation. Which was great because of all the stuff that's been done with that incident, it's all been about Hank and redeeming him, and never really about how it made Jan feel.

Kind of reminds me of the one really good bit in Batman & Robin (the movie), where Clooney sits beside a dying Alfred blaming himself for the old man dying of the same disease that killed Nora Fries.

I thought it was super sweet, and having Obsidian help his dad cut through the noise was very touching, as was tying it to the whole Green Lantern "overcoming fear" shtick.

On the JSA thing: I also really like the idea of Wildcat and GL at a bar in the 40s, and Ted failing to be restrained from kicking some bigots' asses for calling Alan the F word.

How Wonderful! posted:Depending on the bar and how far into the 40s they are, dear Ted might be jumping the gun here. While it was one of the most common terms for straight people to refer to gay men in the first half of the 20th century (often value neutral), it was also very very broadly adopted, often admiringly, by gay men themselves. It had a rather different connotation in the 40s than it does today (I'm teaching queer amlit this semester and just covered this exact issue-- it can be quite shocking for students in 2021 to encounter pre-WWII texts in which it's thrown around liberally, even lovingly!) Thanks! That's actually pretty interesting, I figured that might not have been the right touchstone for a slur for the time period, but these things are always more complex than you think!

I'm still convinced that WB want to be able to have their cake and eat it with Wonder Woman. Sure, you can have little references here and there to her being queer, but the idea of her having a female (or NB) love interest in the present day? LOL, nope (I realise G Willow Wilson tried to do this in her run, but Atlantiades' affections for Diana were almost entirely presented as unrequited and there was way more about Diana and Steve). Come on, let her and Etta hit a lesbian bar in DC or something.

DigitalRaven posted:It's kinda a pity they don't do the same with Carol. It came up in the one story post-Heroes-Return, then nothing's really been mentioned of it. That's far more a "one and done" miraculously cured than Tony's deal. Uh, tell me you don't read Captain Marvel without telling me you don't read Captain Marvel. I can think of at least 2 cases in the last 3 years or so where it's been addressed. Thompson's run even had her lady friends (and Tony) hold basically an intervention

Gonna echo that. It's raw, honest stuff and J Bone's pencils articulate Conroy's story excellently. Be warned though, he includes a few instances of the F slur being directed at him so just be aware of that going in.

That same run has the issue (maybe even the same one, actually) where Foggy reveals the way he copes with the cancer and chemo is picturing the chemo as Daredevil fighting the tumour.
