Batman had to grudgingly convert to christianity and abandon Allah as the one true god.

I didn't know Morrison wrote stuff for her either. I'm just learning all sorts of things today, I guess.

Turns out "You can do whatever the gently caress you want with this semi-iconic character" is a pretty appealing thing for a lot of comic writers.

Is there a Witcher movie in the works?

Nah, it's gonna be a tv series.

purple death ray posted:

The idea of monsters and monster hunters is so effortlessly cool and yet there are almost no good movies about it, somehow

Yeah, it's really weird. I guess it's because it's hard to strike a balance between the goofiness of the concept and the grimness of monsters.

There's actually a Polish TV series that is universally hated by all Witcher fans, for it's bad acting, writing and incredibly low production values. I think it was chopped up to produce a movie or one was made that spun out of it that is also reviled.

This was way before the games tho. Like the 90s.

No I mean, there is an upcoming netflix series.

Brainiac's fine. I just don't think he's an appropriate or interesting villain for the Injustice universe. He's basically just doing what he always does.

Pretty sure Glomgold is Scottish in the cartoon, not Irish, since he dresses, talks and acts like a racist stereotype of Scottish people. He's wearing a goddamn kilt!

Benito Cereno posted:

The actual reason why Glomgold was made Scottish instead of South African was because Ducktales came out in the '80s and they did not want that apartheid stink on a Disney character.

I mean the guy's a ruthless greedy villain, South African "white" business tycoon is exactly appropriate.

I love how several posts poo poo on Don Rosa because of a shot of a text that nobody knows if it is even by Don Rosa, what the context is and what the reason is. If someone posts it on Reddit and then Fox News makes a story out of it we have the perfect fake news cycle.

Yeah I suppose it's possible someone totally unrelated to Don Rosa put that sign down right next to him at his table at this con.

I think the new DuckTales cartoon looks like it'll be fun but after watching some of the more recent preview videos I feel like David Tennant sounds too young to be Scrooge.

I'm not sure who told him he should go into voice acting, he really doesn't have a ton of range.

Been reading a couple of articles about the Tom Cruise Mummy movie - which might not have rendered the Dark Universe franchise DOA but has certainly made things harder for it - and how it's the biggest recent example of putting the cart before the horse. It has reminded me, didn't Sony (or whoever) have plans to create a Ghostbusters shared universe on the back of the 2016 reboot with solo movies for each member of the team etc.?

Something like that, yeah.

I was re-reading Final Frontier on Tom Scioli's site and I saw that he answered someone in the comments when asked who his favorite hero and villain were.

Favorite hero: Orion. Favorite villain: Darkseid.
