Re: Latest NON 66 Batman item I bought today

Robin looks pretty happy for a guy in freefall. Obviously an adrenaline junkie.

Re: Batgirl Movie Cancelled

Did you see Batman Vs Superman? Fair enough, but obviously they thought that was great. So I wonder: if they thought Batgirl was unreleasable, does that mean it's several levels worse than BvS, or does it maybe mean it's actually good? "I Am Legend" is another terrible WB film, but there'...

Re: Batgirl Movie Cancelled

Kidder's take on Lois made the character annoying and manipulative. Kent/Superman appeared to be a doormat for pining away for her. Reeve plays Superman as a sweetly naive boy scout type, while Kidder's Lois comes off as jaded and worldly, and ultimately a lot older than Reeve (even if she was only...

Re: Batgirl Movie Cancelled

It also doesn't help that DC, since 1995 at least, consistently portrayed Lois as emotionally and verbally abusive to Clark/Superman, even implying that she was fooling around with another guy on the sly (Jeb Friedman, her slimy '90s-era love interest) and outright having her expose Clark's dual id...

Re: Working with William Studio2 on A Custom Cowl

Wait, back up a minute...
Folks would come into my studio for an appointment, take one look at my row of cowls and want one and I'd have to order another one.
So you're saying visitors would admire your cowls, and you'd just GIVE them one?

I'd like to make an appointment...

Re: Ben Cooper Costumes Return!

This was the only thing I saw on SDCC photos that interested me. I might've known you'd be behind it, Andy. That said, it looked better in the box. They should sell the masks separately and forget the "costumes." I agree the Batman mask has the vibe of the B&B cartoon, and in fact look...

Re: Batgirl Movie Cancelled

I'm with you on Helen Slater: very charming performer in a terrible film. I always thought a decent film could have been made from cannibalizing part of Supergirl to fix the (IMO) flawed Superman 2 . In the latter film, Kal-El gives up his powers for a roll in the hay with Lois Lane, with plenty of ...

Re: Batgirl Movie Cancelled

At this point, I think "It's Unwatchable!" is pretty much DC's catchphrase. (Maybe that's the "U" in "DCEU"?) Maybe the knowledge that they're already sitting on a $200m "Flash" movie that may end up just as unreleasable thanks to Ezra Miller's antics has them...

Batgirl Movie Cancelled

Not that I imagine a lot of us here were that interested anyway, but Warner has now officially killed the "Batgirl" movie, even though it's already been completed at a cost of around $90 million. It will apparently not be seen either in theaters or via streaming. I knew DC films were lousy...

Re: New "Bat Wheels" show for pre-schoolers

Okay, so I guess I had seen the Penguin design before, or maybe a slightly later one by Timm that was still comics-accurate. It was definitely a shame they went with the "DeVito" version, but I always try to remember that without the Burton films we wouldn't have the cartoon at all. As sil...

Re: New "Bat Wheels" show for pre-schoolers

I envy you getting to see those original designs. Maybe someday I'll get a peek. I have seen Timm's early character designs for the Superman show, and they are jaw-droppingly wonderful. Alas the decision was made that those were TOO faithful to the Fleischer style and they went another way. I still ...

Re: New "Bat Wheels" show for pre-schoolers

It wasn't just the people: I remember in some of the earliest episodes, the Batmobile actually bent itself to get around curves. Obviously whoever they got to animate those episodes didn't understand it was a cartoon but not that kind of cartoon. Looking back all these years later, the quality of th...
