Damage. Always had a soft spot for the Pratt legacy.

I don't think anyone who dislikes DCEU Batman attributes it to Affleck's performance and acting skills, to be honest. He certainly looks the role both in and out the costume, and his dedication for it was obvious given how much muscle he put on for BvS. The onus of DCEU Batman's failure falls almost entirely on Zack Snyder, Chris Terrio, and the rest of the writing/creative teams involved in BvS and JL.

Graviton in his prime already beat Thor off-panel...food for thought.

@arc_conductor: Appreciate the kind words. Oddly enough I didn’t get a notification for this, it was pure chance I stumbled back into this thread.

Wilson’s Lex is really cringey. Like BvS Luthor bad, in my opinion. I think it’s a mixture of his voice/performance, as well as substandard material from the writers. Nothing about this Luthor works, which is a shame because it’s a weak link in an otherwise solid movie (DoS).

I haven’t seen any of these movies pop up in my local theaters but I’d totally be down to pay for it. Not sure if I’m all that hyped for Hush to be honest. I’m much more excited for JL vs. the Fatal Five, which looks to be reuniting the DCAU Big Three voice cast, while also utilizing some criminally underrated characters (Starman, Mr Terrific, Validus etc.).

@theoneabovelife: I made that comment over six years ago, friend. I haven’t seen Death Note in over a decade and I genuinely don’t remember enough of it to debate the point.

@saintwildcard Maybe I can't judge because I haven't actually read the full issue. But yeah, just based off these few pages, it seems like an ill-advised attempt to humanize a character who has historically been unquestionably evil (I mean Granny). I'm really hoping this gets retconned in the near future.

@thetruebarryallen That sounds a lot better than Johns' android version. I've always had a soft spot for Shaggy Man ever since reading Morrison's JLA run. Something about him being so powerful that the League always needs to BFR him, while still having such a goofy-ass Silver Age name, always made me like the character.

New 52 Shaggy Man? Has he done anything remotely impressive besides beating up Hawkman and tangling J'onn for like a page? Don't see why Ben wouldn't be able to take him.

If it's N52 into Rebirth then Thing might have a problem considering Shaggy Man was regenerating and adapting to all of the attacks thrown at it by Aquaman and Atlantis and only was defeated when Arthur BFR'd him into Space using his Justice League transporter.

I didn't even realize Shaggy Man showed up in Aquaman, truth be told. That sounds more in line with his Pre-52 incarnation compared to what Johns showed in his JLA run.

I'm inclined to go with Batroc here. Contrary to his reputation, Batroc has always impressed me with his level of fighting skill when he's not played for laughs. He took on Falcon and Ian Rogers, and would've killed Sam if not for Nomad's intervention during Remender's Cap run. He gave Bucky two good fights in Brubaker's run as well as the Batroc one-shot. And of course, when written seriously, he's always given Cap a solid challenge. The fact that he can hang with someone with Steve's strength and speed is impressive on its own.

Unless of course, this is Kingforce Selina, who wins with her Flash-speed striking.
