they cancelled galactica after only four seasons, and that is ahead of time for flash gordon.

and they replaced the excellent sg-1 with the inferior atlantis.

then again the suits of other netoworks have also been as moronic cancelling enterprise, space above and beyond, firely, and farscape.

i've had about just enough of fake wrestling, or reality tv as i can stand.

The only sci fi i have looked forward to in a long time other than the possible release of season 3 of the new galactica on dvd, is babylon 5 the lost tales.

So, who saw the picture of the new Bat-Cycle for The Dark Knight?


I saw it. Looks cool. Whoever their production designer is should get a medal. Polished yet under-stated, as it should be.


Yep.

Just started reading "DC: The New Frontier". It reminds me of WATCHMEN, but not as dark. Also got Green Arrow: The Long Bow Hunters.


Long Bow Hunters is a GREAT story. I remember reading it when I was...about 17 or 18. The art was awesome as well.

Speaking of GA: (SPOILERS)







Is anyone else as PISSED as I am that the monthly GA is over? There was a "The End" at the end of this month's book. That was one of my favorite books every month. The art was spot on and the stories were great.

Finally finished Watchmen this weekend. Wow! What a read. Exhausting, thought-provoking, beautiful artwork...the superlatives could go on a long time. The film will have to be handled carefully, as we've mentioned. I'd have to put this title slightly ahead of my all-time favorite, Dark Knight Returns, just based on the complexity of the story and characters, etc. I do believe Dark Knight's artwork and coloring were better, though.

BTW: Hutchison, the person pictured above...talk about an eerie resemblance to Rorschach. Perfect.

Some of the casting decisions that are made for these movies astound me. You'd think these companies would be more careful about their properties. I'm definitely anxious about that one...

I didn't jump right into 52 because I didn't want to spoil Infinite Crisis before I read it, but I decided if I don't jump into Countdown now, I'll be playing catch up for the rest of my life! *Takes breath*


Read the 52 wiki and catch up that way...

So, thoughts on Countdown thus far?

I'm glad Darkseid is being used. He was a fave during the Superfriends when I watched it on Saturday morning cartoons, and I don't read many Supes titles.

'Twill be quite interesting to see where they go with Mary Marvel.

They REALLY need to publish a cross-over checklist. I've gotten stuck reading certain ones after the corresponding events in Countdown.

Wouldn't mind seeing Kingdom Come in live action or animated (I think it would have to be animated to do it justice). My all time I'd REALLY like to see in either medium would of course be Dark Knight Returns as I think that's the best Batman story ever told. Identity Crisis would make a good story as well.


Yeah.. if you change the entire plot to something that doesn't suck.


HUH??? Which one? Identity or DKR??

Yeah. I'm afraid Hollywood will either whitewash him and make him too heroic or turn him into an outright villain.


I worry also for how the Comedian will be depicted. I would hate for him to be played as a Wolverine knock off.

So... who's keeping an eye out for the direct to DVD animated adaptation of Death of Superman, starring Adam Baldwin as the voice of Superman? Or the animated adaptation of DC: The New Frontier?


And the adaption of the Teen Titans story The Judas Contract.

I'm definitely there on all three of them. I've never actually read the Judas Contract story in the comics, so I'm especially interested in that one. And New Frontier was just a marvelous take on DC's characters and I can't wait to see it animated.


I'm very much looking forward to these videos, especially Judas Contract. On the print side, I'm thinking that the new JLA series is really, REALLY good. I love Meltzer's work and the art is great.


What I know at this point about DC: New Frontier Animated Adaptation -

Kyle MacLachlan (spelling?) will voice Superman/Clark Kent
Lucy Lawless will voice Wonder Woman
Neil Patrick Harris will voice Barry Allen/Flash
David Boreanz/the Angel guy will voice Hal Jordan/Green Lantern
Brooke Shields will voice Carol Ferris

Aquaman, Batman and Martian Manhunter are also slated to appear, but no word on who's voicing them. It has been said that longtime Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy will not be voicing Batman here, because the animators want to emphasize that this is not part of the regular DCAU.

In "Superman: Doomsday" Superman/Clark Kent will be voiced by Adam Baldwin, Lois Lane will be voiced by Anne Heche, and Lex Luthor will be voiced by James Marsters.

Funny thing: Baldwin voiced Hal Jordan for a cameo on JLU while Neil Patrick Harris voiced Atom on JLU.

And to be honest I don't know jack diddly about what's going on with Teen Titans: Judas Contract.

I would give anything for an animated adaptation of Kingdom Come, greatest Superman story of all time. Live action Kingdom Come would be even better, but I'll settle for an animated adaptation. I'd also like to see animated adaptations of Emerald Twilight/Rebirth, origin stories of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Knightfall/KnightQuest/KnightsEnd, even one of the great JSA stories. How about you guys?
