Another Superman/Batman book? Can't wait

LEVITZ BIDS HUNTRESS AND POWER GIRL A "WORLDS' FINEST" FAREWELL

[Dr Kain]

We just finished episode 14 of Arrow and this season has definitely improved on the first but I do have two issues with it. The first is just a nitpick, but I am really sick to death of hearing them pronounce Ra's' name as Raz!! It is very annoying and was the only negative I had about Nolan's trilogy. The name is freaking Ra's!! Denny O'Neil states it is Ra's. They even mentioned how it should pronounced in Batman Beyond. How the hell do these guys not know how this guy's name is supposed to be pronounced?

My second issue is with Black Canary. I'm not sure if it is just the way she is written, or the actress, but I do not care for her one bit. Her acting comes off stiff and she just does not scream Black Canary to me at all. I also hate her mask.

Aside from that, it has been a great season so far but I am surprised they chose to bring in Nyssa instead of Talia. Well, I hope we get to see Ra's and he lays down the law of how to properly pronounce his name. I do think Michael Jai White makes a great Bronze Tiger though and their version of Clock King was kind of cool.

To be fair, most people can't pronounce Ra's al Ghul correctly. That includes the people who pronounce it "Raish" instead of "Raz."

Except it is not Raz!! They made this quite clear in Batman Beyond. It is spoken as Ray'sh. Plus, Nyssa even said it right after Arrow saved Canary from the poision.

So it seems I was right to be apprehensive about this

I don't think she's meant to be black, its more a tanned skin colour a lot of Italians have.

I want to say you are right, but the hair and from what has been said over at DC, she is now black.

So I finished the first Earth 2 trade and it was...okay. Lots of the redesigns and plays on established characters and stories were very entertaining, and - especially relating to Alan - it had some pretty epic moments but the book felt like it lost a lot of steam after that initial epic first half. Grundy was impressively boring for a villain who was destroying the whole planet while fighting our "Wonders" at the same time.

The artwork was mostly bland and forgettable which was problematic as this book was basically one long fight sequence with very little plot or character moments to take the weight off of the artwork.

I might check out the second trade but if it's a repeat of the first I don't think I'll be taking this much further.
