Justice League Lounge of Justice - Part 88

[-Arya-]

Doom Patrol E13 is so hot, then second to last episode was crap, lol, filled with standard TV jokes,

Spoiler

an orgasm fest???

looking forward to watching the finale tonight

That part was inspired by Grant Morrison’s run on the comic. It didn’t play out exactly that way but it happened.

I dunno what TV you're watching where that is standard, and I don't think I want to!

Chinese Regime Cancels Plans to Air Live Debate Between State TV Host and Fox News Anchor

lol, so the Chinese state anchor criticized the American journalist, who challenged her to a debate, which she accepted.

Then the CCP cancelled it hours before the kick off

Winnie the Pooh got ****ing banned in China because memes were being made to compare the character to Xi Jinping. The Chinese government is such a piece of ****, especially to the way they treat their neighbors.

 

[KalvinEllis]

Well damn.


King is obviously a very divisive writer these days, but if his Mister Miracle run is of any indication, the guy sure knows how to write the New Gods. Darkseid is.

 

[Gee]

'Batman' Writer Tom King to Co-Write ‘New Gods’ With Ava DuVernay

Eisner Award-Winning comic book writer and ex-CIA officer Tom King

 

[Chip Chipperson]

oh man

the word polarizing probably won't even begin to cover how people will feel about that movie if it actually happens. I don't care about the New Gods but this could be fun to observe from a distance.

'Batman' Writer Tom King to Co-Write ‘New Gods’ With Ava DuVernay

Great news. His Mister Miracle was phenomenal.

 

[flickchick85]

This is very good news, imo.

 

[-Arya-]

This would be polarizing if King was co-writing the script for The Batman but his amazing work on Mister Miracle makes him the best candidate for New Gods.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I wish he would’ve been involved with the Scarlet Witch and Vision mini series too

His Vision run is one of my all time personal favorites

I’m actually starting to love and embrace how wacky DC’s movie plans are.

You mean there's someone steering that ship ?!!! Yikes.....

Polarizing but nevertheless awesome.

Indeed. Only choice I'd be more excited for is if Jack Kirby himself rose from the grave to do storyboards.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Believe it or not, that bit about his CIA background is entirely true.

 

[MbJ]

When they inevitably cast someone other than Ray Porter to play Darkseid the usual suspects on Twitter are gonna flip out.

 

[Gee]

Believe it or not, that bit about his CIA background is entirely true.

Yes, I know about his CIA background.

Sheriff of Babylon was a damn good read and can't wait for the sequel.

And with no surprises, one of the first replies to Ava's tweet is from one of those "fans".

Is it? I'll have to check it out some time. Thanks for the recommendation.

I see that Grace Randolph just put in her two cents as well. Sigh.

Who the hell is Ray Porter?

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Who the hell is Ray Porter?

I didn't get this reference either.

When the nuclear warfare has come to a close, all that shall remain is dust, roaches and the 13 people still tweeting #ReleaseTheSnyderCut on every Warner Brothers and DC Comics related social media post

 

[Gee]

I didn't get this reference either.

He was supposedly cast as Darkseid in Snyder's JL cut.

So yeah, expect swarming posts of him and #RTSC on social media whenever New Gods is mentioned.

Speaking of them, I miss our resident @roach.

 

[heatvision38]

This issue of Doomsday Clock was really good, imo. Johns might stick the landing after all.

 

[Polux]

Well damn.

I woke up to this news. This makes me happy.

What I find funny is the idea of people being excited about this because of his work on Mister Miracle (which is one of the best graphic novels I've ever read. Hands down. I still think about it every day), when that was a very deconstructed take on those characters and made the usually well-liked, heroic characters look like *******s.

I haven't read any of his Batman, but MM made me a fan and I just bought "I am Bane" so I'm catching up with his work. I tend to like "divisive" the most, anyways.

Darkseid is.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Its best season was S5, imo. I think S4 is probably the most-hated season in the fandom, lol. But even in S5, it never reached the quality level I'd call "good." It had good moments and a couple good episodes, but that's it.

I'm trying to remember what s4 was...oh the guy who once played M. Bison.

Right, right. My lack of interest in the... whatever it is they did to Oliver and Co. made me lose interest in the show so much I forgot which season got better reception.

To be fair though; it's Fox News, nobody should debate them, it will be a waste of breath.

I did the first 2 seasons of Flash and need to catch up with rest and have never watched Arrow. Really like SG though.

You can ignore most of season 3 of Flash. I enjoyed that nonsense, but Baritar (Barry's time remnant is Savitar) stuff is frustrating.
