Official JLA discussion thread - Part 3

[Anubis]

Gotham has always been a s**t hole. That's the whole point of Gotham. To show that he's fighting an endless war.

 

[CConn]

Gotham City: The Camden, New Jersey of the DCnU.

 

[The Batman]

Sorry, I never liked that crappy interpretation of "Gotham can't be saved. Its always horrible."

And by "sorry" I mean I'm not sorry at all.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, we got that.

Nana booboo, stick your head in doo doo.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

making a justice league movie as a reaction to the success of avengers would be the complete wrong reason to make the movie, and im sure it wouldnt turn out well.

Not really. The reason we got a Spider-man movie (off the ground and still in development hell) was a reaction to the success of X-men. The main reason got an Avenger movie with a budget like that was due to the success of Iron Man. The reason WB kept trying with Batman is because of the success of the aformentione

Hollywood movies are often made as reactions to the success of movies in its genre. It's part of Hollywood's Monkey-See-Monkey-Do nature.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Gotham City: The Camden, New Jersey of the DCnU.

Actually, St. Louis, Missouri now considered more dangerous than Camden.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I need a 2nd WW title because at this point I want to see more of young Diana who isnt as serious or dark with all the gods in her main title right now.

 

[Hush]

I loved the banter of this issue between Superman an Batman, along with good cop Bad cop with Hal and Barry.

 

[Assassin]

ugh...i honestly couldn't get over how sloppy the art was in this issue. Jim Lee used to be my favorite, but i've joined the hate.

 

[Mystirious]

Well, he cared enough to rewrite her origin. That's something.

I'm still trying to pretend that never happened

The Shazam backup on the other hand, continues to get worse.

The continuing adventures of Billy Batson, magical jerk

Do i dare ask what happened this week

He probably sold Mary's pet bunny Hoppy to buy heroin or something

 

[storyteller]

If Gotham would actually use the damn death penalty, folks like the Joker would you know actually be dead. But now they have just made the whole damn city just hell incarnate.

 

[Mystirious]

I agree wholeheartedly.

It's one of those things where...I don't regret that he's on the title or anything, but I really kinda wish there was another Wonder Woman series to actually focus on, y'know, Wonder Woman.

Cain made an okay point that all of the focus on the Gods is just mirroring aspects of Wonder Woman herself...but while I think that method of storytelling works great for some characters (like Batman in Batman Returns), I don't particularly think its the right method for WW.

I agree having another series focusing more on Wonder Woman would be a neat idea

We still really dont have any idea about her status quo. Qe know she lives in England but nothing else. Does she have friends there? Is she still an ambassador? Does she have a secret identity? Do her rogues still exist?

We know practically nothing about her. Wonder Woman and the Amazons are sadly the characters Azzarello has done the worst job of writing

Bruce's teenage years must have been hell for Alfred. A lot of Cure, black makeup, and "You can't tell me what to do! You're not my parents! My parents are dead!"

At least he didn't have to worry about Bruce playing loud rock & roll music all night

Because as we all know Batman hates rock and roll

 

[Assassin]

Jesus Johns, how can you make one of your last supporters hate you even more? You show your ignorance. WHY. THE. ****. WOULD BLACK ADAM'S TOMB BE IN BABYLON OR MESOPOTAMIA?

I mean it's cool that you keep showing Detroit and other Michigan cities in your book, an even cooler that you show where my ancestors are from...but Black Adam...Isn't he from Egypt? Hell you have a whole made up country you could have him in, Kahndaq...why would he be in Iraq?

Realunch. Different.

Two bullies tried to beat up Freddie so Billy fought them ****ers. Also, they had waffles for breakfast.

 

[CConn]

By, at least Freddie was characterized as being likeable.

 

[Anubis]

If Gotham would actually use the damn death penalty, folks like the Joker would you know actually be dead. But now they have just made the whole damn city just hell incarnate.

Would it? When you consider how often Joker busts outta Arkham, which is probably significantly more secure than most prisons thanks to all the breakouts ironically, and the fact that he could stay on death row for 10 to 15 years, giving him the death penalty wouldn't make a difference anyway cuz he'd beak out before his first appeal.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Thats why you let WW have a go at them since she dont mess around, she will snap yo neck or behead without even breaking a sweat.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, that's pretty much the only way Joker or any of the other loons are gonna die. I mean, just being in the same room with the guy is enough to get off on self defense.

 

[Anubis]

Donkey Punch

 

[CConn]

I don't know if I'd be comfortable seeing Batman Donkey Punch the Joker.

 

[Mystirious]

You know you'd pay to see that really

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Thats why you let WW have a go at them since she dont mess around, she will snap yo neck or behead without even breaking a sweat.

I hate that portrayal of Wonder Woman. Is that the one they're still going with?

 

[CConn]

Not really.

She's pretty tough, but she hasn't killed anybody.

 

[Anubis]

Unless you count Parademons.
