Cosmic Sentinel

I nearly wet myself laughing when he spoke. You couldn't parody that growly, macho voice without sounding less silly than that.

I can't understand why they would choose the guys who made You, Me, and Dupree....

DC have sent in saboteurs to wreck Marvel's film franchises. That's the only logical explanation.

The changes to Martian Manhunter (especially his not being in the League) are one of my biggest problems with the otherwise excellent New 52. He was defined as being the League's most consistent member, so this and the fact that Guy Gardener didn't know him do bug me a bit. It leaves me wondering what else they've changed about him.

The 600 mph speed might possibly be Superman deliberately keeping below the sound barrier (which varies but is in the 700s). He might have gone much faster outside of Metropolis and General Lane's monitoring.

This is the Hal we should have had in the movie.

You mean Nathan Fillon instead of what's his face.

I totally agree with you.

"What's his face" should have been the Flash back when it looked like being Wally. In an ideal world, where DC did't suck at making non-animated films without Batman, they would have been part of a series leading up to a massive Justice League film like Marvel has been doing with the Avengers.

OT: That clip does look awesome and I'm looking forward to it.

If DC want to make my day, they'll do a mini series set in the gap between Action Comics and now with Ted Kord as Blue Beetle. Put Booster in there, reference them working together and have Ted hang up his costume to help people without the mask. Then they can have occasional guest appearances from him in JLI etc. as he's forced back into the super hero business.

Oh and please make it funny. If I have one complaint about comics today, it's that they're all so serious. I don't mean that it's all parody or cheesy, just let Beetle and Booster be Beetle and Booster.

The DC moments sound waaay worse than these marvel moments from my point of view(somebody who hasn't really read much of any of them...but the Nightwing one sounds totally awful...)

If you don't allow for OMD, they probably are about as bad as each other.

Superman and Spider-man are my two favourite characters, so for me they seem like the best two to compare. I didn't like Superman: Grounded and agree that after the excellent New Krypton it was just boring, but it didn't shake things up so even if there wasn't "the new 52" it can easily be forgotten. OMD on the other hand was a major shake up, but more importantly (to me) is that it made me stop wanting to read Spider-man, which is something even the original clone saga in the 90s didn't do. I've tried a couple of times since then to get back into Amazing, but I just can't.

I never read Young Avengers, but agree about Exiles. I think Exiles was running out of steam before that point though, issue 90 is just where it started to become apparent that it wouldn't recover.

@Sekele: The art for OMAC reminded me of Kirby the first time I saw it. I quite liked the book, it was a bit weak to start with, but it got better as it progressed.

Men of War and Static Shock I never read, so I can't comment. Mister Terrific I desperately wanted to work as he was one of my favourite JSA characters, but the book could get a little boring. When it worked though, it was good and certainly not the worst book of the new 52. Blackhawks was a massive disappointment (I like what I've seen of the old Blackhawks) and the first I dropped as I really just didn't care about it. Hawk and Dove was okay writing wise, I wanted to see where it was going but I would have preferred stick men then it's "artist".

There's got to be hundreds, if not thousands of artists and writers in America that are looking to break into comics and would jump at the chance to work on one of those titles. Why is he still employed? Hawkman is the only one of those I read, so I'll get ready to cancel it.

My personal preference (if I was in charge at DC) would have been to have left them together in the Superman comics and if you really wanted to go over it again, you could do it in Action as that is set in the past. But the only reason to do that is if you have something new to add to it.

It was a long running joke that Lois never figured out Superman was sitting at the desk next to her, right up until they had them get married. When they did that, the silliness of that situation faded into history and the stories were better because of it. After all, who ever picked up a Superman comic for his love life?
