    Robbie Amel also showed up on the Flash last night. He gets around like herpes!

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Static Shock is going to be a live action digital series.

    Now, I love me some Static Shock, but this bit has me worried:
    The new version will be overseen by Reginald Hudlin and Milestone/original-series veteran Denys Cowan. No release date or timetable has yet been set.

    After watching The Boondocks, I am... apprehensive... about Hudlin's involvement. Also, are they going to treat it like a "minority" property? Don't want: shameless pandering. Do want: a real crack at a serious minority super hero set in a disadvantaged area.
    He also produced Django Unchained, so there's that.

    Honestly, they're gonna make it slightly more grown-up than the animated series. Which means a little bit of Spike Lee-ness thrown in but maybe some Tyler Perry-ness as well.

    I'm optimistic.

    Yea, not a fan of Hudlin or his writing. His run on Black Panther was so bad and boring.

    Edit: With that said I loved Static Shock and hope this turns out to be good.

    What exactly do you object to in that guy's quote? He probably doesn't want it to become a Spike Lee joint. Which is understandable from certain viewpoints.

    He fucked over the Boondocks and his Black Panther comics were awful. Give it to Spike Lee, at his worst he'll do something interesting with it.

    Oh. Honestly, I'm surprised DC or Marvel didn't give a superhero film to Tyler Perry. As much as people may not like him, he gets asses in seats. And he'd cover a black superhero property much better than Spike Lee would. I have problems with Spike Lee's way of going about things. He's a little too much in the Al Sharpton camp for my tastes.

    Perry's action hero movie bombed. Antoine Fuqua is who deserves a shot, he's an amazing talent.

    Offensively bad and not even a tiny bit entertaining. The fact that he pulled Storm into his garbage ruined here character for quite a while also.

    DC would never allow that, but you know Tyler Perry would throw in a billboard or TV playing one of his properties somewhere. Because of course he would.

    I very much enjoyed Olympus Has Fallen (so much better than White House Down,) so I'd like him to take a crack at a black superhero movie. Oh, and I loved The Equalizer. Denzel needs to be an older black superhero. But, which one could he be...

    I honestly don't know why Marvel hasn't let a black or female hero have their own movie yet. Which is why they should have seen DC 1-up-ing them there.

    Spike Lee has some divisive rhetoric in his past. As I said, too much Al Sharpton, not enough Martin Luther King, Jr.

    That's if DC still has Milestone under contract. That imprint isn't under their control anymore, it's licensed.

    Eh, we'll see. It would be better than a lot of people would give him credit for. He wouldn't get too bogged down in "the system is racist" rants (which, in the case of Luke Cage, probably need to be there somewhere.)

    His BP run was filled with that theme.

    I was talking about Tyler Perry vs. Spike Lee there.

    I just hope the Netflix Luke Cage series retains his original costume. Because that was just boss. The scene where he cobbles it together from a costume shop would be awesome. (My reading of Luke Cage is pretty much limited to the first issue of his comic which detailed his origin story. It came with the Marvel Legends Luke Cage action figure. Funnily enough, the only Iron Man comic book I'd read before seeing the first Iron Man movie was the introduction of the Silver Centurion armor that came with the Silver Centurion armor Iron Man action figure from the Marvel Legends line. It ended up being the issue where Obadiah Stane goes crazy with his Iron Monger and dies really quickly when the suit malfunctions and explodes on him.)

    Latest Arrow ep:
    1) Why haven't they moved to a new base yet? What ever happened to that second hidey-hole they showed last season? Seriously, everyone and their mom knows about the Verdant basement by now.

    2) Laurel Lance = zzzzzzzzzz. I laughed when she got beat up, which is just terrible. Seriously, I couldn't care less about her storyline right now. Please be more whiney and selfish and zzzzzzz.

    Same:
    1) Budget. That's a perfectly good set they spent good cash on.

    2) That's my mental scene whenever Thea does something badass- she gets her ass kicked like Laurel did. Thea is eye candy, accept it show! Laurel's arc is more believable and interesting than Thea throwing a fit, losing her mind, and magically becoming a 90 pound ninja master inside a year.

    3) The only way to salvage Thea (and Oliver should fucking know better): Get a gun people! As noted, Oliver dropped the goons way faster with it. At least carry one as an option.

    4)Flee Felicity, flee! Do not return! She can do all the hacking from Flash! It improve both shows in one swoop!

    It doesn't feel organic at all. It feels shoehorned in because they needed something for Laurel to do so what the hell why not.
