It kinda annoys me that R rated films can do fantastically, but due to their very nature not being mass market, they pretty much get written off as a failure as no one seems to think about their specific context.

You have about three generations complaining about how watered down and kid friendly our media has become, and yet they continue to churn out these 12a cash ins, because a 12a means they have four whole extra sets of audiences to drain profit from.

Animated, live action, or even a motion comic, Killing Joke needs to be on film at some point.

The sequel comic, Underbelly, has actually drawn the attention of a lot of media. So don't lose hope just yet!

What is it with Marvel and Dr.Doom lately?

He's made a ton of appearances between Avengers Assemble, Ultimate Spiderman, and Earth's Mightiest Heroes...

Marvel has always been obsessed with Dr. Doom. He's cartoonishly evil. He's generically evil.

Does anyone else miss Diedrich Bader as Batman? Don't get me wrong, Anthony Ruivivar does a great job as Batman, but Bader... his voice is one I could only dream of developing.

I asked the same thing before, it's crazy.

It might be because I'm an odd person, but I really want to see the Beware the Batman universe have a franchise built around the Gray Ghost, with Bruce Wayne being a huge nerd in regards to Gray Ghost fiction.
