I'm just going to forget this statement.

I KNOW, RIGHT‽

Eh. We'll. see.

I just hope the Joker tries to be funny.

Oh, really? I thought it looked cool. :(

Oh, well—it's difficult for me to be displeased.

I really want to pick it up.

*Cough*CAMERON STEWART, BRENDEN FLETCHER, AND BABS TARR SEEMS LIKE IT WILL BE BETTER!*Cough*

"You get a shortened sentence, you get a shorter sentence , every member gets a shortened prison sentence!"

Huh, I'll get the first 5 then.

I see no reason for Joker to be in the SS movie. First off, there are plenty of other characters who have yet to even be featured in the movies. Secondly, the cast is already big enough being a team movie, so putting characters who aren't part of the team is over stuffing it. But then, that seems to be the theme of the upcoming DC movieverse, cram as many characters as you can into a single movie. Who gives a crap about pacing and character development. In fact, that is why these movies will never be even half as good as Arrow and Flash. This weeks crossovers shows they worked so great because they characters have been given the chance to be developed ahead of time, on their own. Teaming them up just added to their development, but it also did not take away from what was already established.

Arrow - Simply amazing, that is all.

I did love the Wednesday comment though about the weight lifting thing from Felicity.

People hating the D.C. movies before they're in post, let alone shot. Haters gonna hate.

World's End isn't objectively terrible or anything, but DC needs to let that brand move on from just being about heroes fighting Apokolips. We just finished that storyline in the main book with Steppenwolf and Bizarro being defeated, finally freeing Earth 2 from Darkseid's followers. It was a good story that had a solid, if somewhat rushed conclusion. And then it was immediately followed by another invasion from Apokolips. And it's not even using any established Apokolips characters. Desaad is there, yes, but no one else from Darkseid's inner circle is around. For fuck's sake, the Female Furies are playing a huge role in this story but there's no Granny Goodness, no Lashina, no Mad Harriet, none of the established Furies are present besides Barda. It's incredibly frustrating that the book can't seem to let go of telling Apokolips invasion stories, but can't bother to actually use Apokolips properly at the same time.

I will admit that it's nice to see more Earth 2 characters showing up (Brainwave Jr., Obsidian, Jonni Thunder, and finally Ted Grant), but it's not enough. Earth 2 was supposed to be about setting up a new world with new versions of the JSA characters, not month after month of New Gods stuff. I loved this book when it came out and I am deeply frustrated by what DC is squandering all of its potential on.

And don't even get me started on how useless the actual Earth 2 book is right now. It's not allowed to do anything important so it's just wasting paper on random villain backgrounds and spin-off adventures for side characters who shouldn't even be in this universe.

That is because I have no faith in DC. They are making terrible casting choices. They are rushing their movies just to catch up to Marvel instead of taking their time. They also couldn't make a Jonah Hex movie. When you can't make the simplest character of all time into even an average movie, there is a problem. How can I have faith in a company that does not respect their own source material? They have all of these top notch writers for TV and animation, but instead of using them for their movies, they hire these nobodies who know absolutely nothing about their properties outside of a name.

This phrase needs to die. People whip it out whenever someone has opinions that differ from their own and it just drags a whole conversation down and kills any form of debate. It's a lazy cop out.

A little late to the party, I know, but I just read The Multiversity: Pax Americana.

Now to figure out what actually happened.
