I always feel bad that and Terror of Trigon are the only Titans stories that exist. I mean, they're the only two I remember* but surely other stories have been written. *Kidding, of course. There's also 'Who Is Donna Troy/Wonder Girl?'

JLU also featured The Wall picking up the biggest Kirby Gun she could find and fighting Darkseid. Oh, and Jeffery Combs' Question. Can't forget him. Supergirl: "You go through my garbage!?" Question: "Please. I go through everyone's garbage."

TwoPair posted:A really bad Batman Beyond comic has Bruce knock Babs up and she later miscarries. It has since been thankfully written out of continuity, but still gets brought up in discussions as an example of "it could always be worse" The Bruce/Babs thing is one of the worst things to come out of the Timmverse.

Nanigans posted:Yeah, this has long been one of my favorite aspects of Batman. Also, TAS Bruce at least would always try to help the homeless and downtrodden as well as just donating a ton to charity. Not sure if that’s in the comics too. It is. Bruce will give a job to about anybody he runs across and Wayne Industries does massive charity work. Possibly only outdone by LexCorp.

Amazon Prime had the Batman & Harley Quinn up for free and I still couldn't make it halfway through. Although that Timm was involved did forewarn me we were going to get something airquotes sexy and sure enough.

ToastyPotato posted:Didn't that story break years ago though? Oh, yeah, but as far as I know that wasn't a reason they did it, or at least not a cited one. Also Schneider had a lot of stroke. I remember one of the articles citing as proof he was a dirty old man was one of his sitcoms that featured an episode with a before-mega-famous Ariana Grande getting sprayed with water while in a bikini top. He's super gross for being what I dimly remember as 'the funny fat one' on Howard Hessman's Head of the Class.

thebardyspoon posted:Didn't see it posted here but apparently they're doing an animated film of Hush coming out after the Death of Superman two parter. Probably with the same animation style and probably also a two-parter. Nah, you're not wrong. Nobody cares much about Hush aside from coming out of the prestige of having Jim Lee draw Batman, although he's probably due for a story that makes people sit up and take notice, like some writers have done with Bane.

A good friend of mine who's now doing work for Marvel told me the real reason Superman loses those fights is he remember Bruce's parents are dead and then throws them to make Bruce feel better about himself.

Wheat Loaf posted:Wasn't part of Hush's deal this angle of "Bruce Wayne became Batman because his parents died; Hush became Hush because his parents... didn't!"? Man, I prefer Prometheus' inversion where it was 'saw his parents killed in front of him but they were Natural Born Killers-esque criminals.'

drrockso20 posted:It's a shame most of Prometheus's stories after his debut were terrible, cause the concept of an Anti Batman who specifically mirrors Batman in his role as a Justice League member is a pretty novel one*, although personally I'd tweak some aspects even more, like have him have a no kill code like Batman, but for twisted and selfish reasons, like how it makes "the game" more challenging I like that twist, and yeah, Prometheus never really recovered from his heights of his introduction by Morrison.

The animation isn't like Avengers Assemble or Ultimate Spider-Man but it's still just so dull to me. The voice acting is very good, at least with Kamala and Doreen. Dove Cameron is a pleasant surprise as Gwen. So I think they have acting talent, but... yeah, kinda meh.

Lurdiak posted:The original wasn't really the kind of show that had season long character arcs. Yeah, it was super in the mold of the twenty-two minute toy commercial. Set-up/Problem/Moral done. One minus I guess is that the Horde does not look as visually impressive as they did. They had weirder-looking henchmen than even Skeletor.

Android Blues posted:I love how they completely rehabilitated Bow and Glimmer while still staying weirdly true to their original characters of "smug guy" and "useless idiot who gets captured all the time". Like, instead of being useless, Glimmer is just a powerful but incautious warrior. Likewise Bow's smugness is mostly in the service of providing emotional support for his friends. They've sort of made him Sokka is the best correlation I can think of. Which is fine.

Having recently re-watched the first two seasons, boy were Weisman's particular storytelling fetishes on display. The 'according to plan' especially. Even when the villains seem to lose big, nah. Less so but in a way more irritating were the weird stand-up routines regarding wordplay, like 'You ALWAYS hear about people being 'disgruntled' is ANYBODY ever just 'gruntled' and it probably is not as prevalent as it seems but boy howdy was it obnoxious.

Is she the primary lantern right now in the comics? Would be cool to see a live-action movie based around her. Nah. Per usual there's several Lanterns running around. She used to be co-Green Lantern of Earth with Simon Baz and maybe still is.
