Senior Woodchuck posted:Which is really dumb, because Batman's problem wasn't with Green Lanterns. Batman's problem was with Guy, because Guy is an rear end in a top hat. I remember at least one comic mentioning that Batman didn't like Green Lanterns because they're not afraid of anything, and at least part of his effectiveness comes from making people afraid of him. There's a reason a Sinestro Corps ring tried to recruit him.

I love how that story ends. The guy steals state secrets using the glasses and then gets in a small plane to fly to a foreign country to sell them: ![]() "Oh, I can't see a thing, but I've been piloting this vessel for a few weeks anyway. It's not like the glasses are subtle, how did you miss that I wasn't wearing them anyway?"

Uthor posted:Nick Fury (?) is being warned about the secret guy he's trying to talk to (that is on the cover, so not much of a secret). He don't care. I'm pretty sure that's Nick Fury's black son, Nick Fury, Jr. They created the character so there'd be a Nick Fury in normal continuity that looked like Samuel L. Jackson so people who've only watched the movies won't be confused. Or as confused, anyway.

robziel posted:It's killing me because I know I've read that and it's probably in my Batman collection, I'm 90% sure it's from Detective Comics which narrows it down only slightly. Sorry. Do you remember WHY Batman decided to change back to Bruce Wayne before going to Gordon? It seems like extra effort for something that actively harms him.

Jeez, it's like he picked out a really uncomfortable throne millennia ago but he's unwilling to admit it makes his butt sore and change it, so he just breaks into random apartments on Earth so he can sit on their comfy furniture all the time. By pure chance, every once in a while someone he knows comes through the door and he plays it off like he did it on purpose.

Damnit, Magneto, you fight people who fly without engines all the time. You fly without engines. If you see something flying, you don't dismiss it just because you don't hear engines! Magneto's magnetic force field would stop Cyclops's force beams, so there's pretty much nothing it won't affect.

Bakanogami posted:I'm honestly more interested in Xavier's revisions. Why does he object to a punch in the jaw, but seems to be just fine with the final exam of stranding them in the wilderness with a throat wound? Does he want to be present for week 2 (for safety reasons) or for week 3? (because he really wants to know how logan got his hair that way.) I think he wants to see beanie babies get sliced up. I don't think he has much use for the lecture on hair.

The Mentalizer posted:I could swear I saw a panel posted a while back in the thread that had Hawguy chilling out on the plane and reading his own comic while everyone else was getting ready (or something like that). No idea what book it was from, though. Please tell me I'm not crazy. Things like that aren't necessarily breaking the 4th wall; Marvel Comics are published in the 616 universe (generally with different secret identities).

At some point I think DC just decided they'd have a continuity reboot once a decade anyway, so there was no real reason for any given continuity reboot to fix continuity problems like the Crisis on Infinite Earths was supposed to. Heck, it's better for them to leave more problems in, it gives them a better excuse for the next continuity reboot.

I haven't watched those cartoons since they originally aired, but I have to imagine people are pretty confused if they don't watch the Galactus parody and just have to wonder why the moon has a bite taken out of it for the rest of the show. It'd be like missing the Chairface Chippendale moon laser episode.

mind the walrus posted:Fantomex is Weapon XIII. He said as much in his first appearance. Even as a Doctor Who joke I'm not quite sure what you're angling for here. He said thirtieth, not thirteenth. He's referencing Diesel's XXX movie. That is, movie titled XXX. "XXX movie" sounds like something else.

Say Nothing posted:Christopher Reeves pulled this off perfectly. I think he was easily the best movie Superman/Clark Kent. I've always thought that too. Before seeing his movies, the glasses as a disguise thing always seemed dumb, but watching him I could actually believe that people wouldn't see that Clark and Superman were the same person.

Alien Rope Burn posted:Except for the numerous versions of Hyperion, the Blue Marvel, Gladiator, and... Wundarr, believe it or not. Virtue, if you want to get extra-obscure. Warpath is also a flying brick with super senses, though I couldn't say off the top of my head whether they gave him flight before the Sentry showed up or what the last time I actually saw him using his flight was.

Rhyno posted:I owned every single issue of X-Force and I don't recall him ever flying until the Counter X era. I believe he popped up in the Milligan XF run then as well. After that I've never seen him fly again. Now that you mention it, Counter X is the first time I remember him flying, too. Wikipedia says that started May of 2000 and Sentry #1 was September of 2000, so I guess Warpath started flying a little before Sentry showed up.

Gavok posted:When Johns finished his Green Lantern run, they changed all the creative teams on all the Lantern books. So they put Charles Soule (the guy who turned around Thunderbolts since Way left) on Red Lanterns. Hal Jordan, afraid that the Reds were up to something, asked Guy to go undercover, since he wore the red ring a while back. Worst comes to worst, they can always cure him via the Blue Lanterns like last time. Guy joined the Reds, where he immediately exiled Atrocitus and Dex-Star and took over. All the Blue Lanterns except Saint Walker (who is currently without hope) got killed, so Guy got all pissed at Hal and came clean to the rest of the Reds because gently caress the Green Lantern Corps. Besides, he found the Red Lanterns to be a pretty cool bunch of guys when they weren't following Atrocitus' orders. Huh, do you happen to know what issue it started being good? That sounds like it's worth checking out.

Alien Rope Burn posted:I'm glad this thread alerted me to Red Lanterns. It's way more fun than the drudgery it was under Milligan, and it punches my Guy Gardner fandom button pretty hard. Didn't it start out with all but one or two Red Lanterns being mindless? I didn't read anything between the first issue or two and whenever someone here recommended to start it, but I imagine actually letting there be more than one character helped a lot.

Choco1980 posted:So, now that Guy's in charge of the Red Lanterns, um, what do they actually do? I mean, Atrocitus had some big revenge scheme going that never really went anywhere, and without him, I really don't see what purpose they actually serve in the galaxy. Guy tricked Hal into giving them jurisdiction over Sector 2814, so they have space copping to do. They also got rid of a Space Hitler.
