Speed Demons

As comic book fans, we here are all too familiar with the neverending debates of which character is stronger/faster/smarter/richer/cuter/better in the sack. We cite issues and stats and power levels that change faster than uh, for relevancy’s sake, let’s say the weather. As fans we never get the chance to actually decide who would win and make a definitive answer and say “HERE THIS IS HOW IT GOES.” But the actual writers do have that chance! And sometimes they act like they are going to do that and then don’t actually do that at all!

Obviously J’onn is the best in the sack, he’s a shape-shifting mindreader.

The Last Resort

For my last review ever, I am going to review The Last Resort.

Ah, teenagers. So troubled. So troublesome. For ages they have antogonized their parents, making them stew over how to deal with their problems, as they watch their children who were once sweet angels turn into bitter demons who can’t even turn down the fucking stereo. And yes, it turns out that even in the future, these problems still run rampant. It is part of who we are as humans. Teenagers will always be teenagers, kids will be kids, babies will be disgusting, and the elderly will make us all uncomfortable. Especially if they used to be Batman, and could likely still kick our ass.

ECCC J’onn Sketch

Stephen JB Jones was at Emerald City Comic Con and god, I bugged him for entirely too long. He was a character designer and storyboard artist on various DCAU shows. I also spent some cash on a sketch of Martian Manhunter from him.

I bugged him so much he gave me a sweet action pose!

My DCAU collection has grown a great deal in the past few months. I’ve gotten, well, ALL of the Batman and Batman Beyond comics (save for one) and a Batman maquette. I got two Diane Duane books from a friend, an awesome Batman pop-up book, some more JLU figures, Superman 64 (hahaha, yeah), and a couple Batman figures. A lot of stuff, basically.

A new review is in the works. I feel so out of practice! But maybe after this one I will feel like doing another one. I already think that might happen. Look for new stuff probably late tonight.

JL Card Game

I got this JL Card Game for my birthday. Here’s a brief and incorrect example of how to play it:

Ben likes to play the villain side because this came out after season 1 and there were more sexy ladies on the villain side.

The goal of the game is to win. I win the most because I watch the show the most.

The ten best…

I watched Return of the Joker this weekend as having the soundtrack on a constant loop in my car sort of put me in the mood for it. Watching the flashback to Joker’s death got me thinking about what the absolute best scenes in the DCAU are. Rifling through scenes made me realize that there are great moments that aren’t really part of great scenes. Then I started thinking about the best fights.

Well before long, I sounded like a blubbering moron.

I’m working on some lists though as I work through more two-parters and I’ll post the end results when I have end results. Until then, what are your guys’ favorites?

What is the BEST scene in the entire DCAU?

I Will Bake Dwayne McDuffie A Pie…

For every JLU reference he shoves in his run on Justice League of America.

Do you hear me? I have promised you pie. I will even take the time to get good at baking pies before mailing these pies off to you. So far I owe you at least three pies:

Hell, the first arc is all about Luthor, Joker, and Cheetah starting a new Injustice League and the arc is called “Unlimited.”

I just have no idea what to count as a reference.

Hey look, GL is helping Hawkgirl, eh? Is that…? I don’t know. Now GL’s fighting Shadowthief, should he get a pie for that? Ya know what, sure.

How many pies do you want, Dwayne?

NAME YOUR PIE PRICE.

AND I SHALL PAY.

p.s. what sort of pastry would it take to get some Static Shock in there too?
