    Anybody up for a little Marvel: Avengers Alliance shop-talk?

    - Agent level/class/equipment? (102/Scrapper, Thunder Strike + Overwatch + Digital Decoy + Magnetic Field)
    - You do PVP? Who's on your team? (Tactician Storm and FF Infiltrator Spidey)
    - Which other heroes/costumes are you waiting to get added to the roster? (Psylocke. And 90s Jim Lee Cyke)
    - Storm got buffed! (Yeah!)
    - Emma's nerfed again! (Boo)
    - Mockingbird is gonna get released for Black Friday! (Rumors were 200CP, but based on Beast, it could be just a placeholder)
    - Bad Heroes (Nightcrawler and Wolverine apparently needs a revamp, like what Human Torch, Dr Strange, and Storm got)
    - Good Heroes (People are getting their hate on HT and the new Strange, but I think they're ok)
    - Bad Heroes that you like anyway (Scrapper Future Foundation Thing. PVP with him and Spidey doing their Bash Brothers thing is pretty sweet)
    - How's your Spec Ops trawl? (Got Ghost Rider, but can't get the Grief thing)

    holy crap she really is 200 cp. i wouldn't consider a $20 for one character in a facebook game a sale.

  • WearingglassesWearingglasses Of the friendly neighborhood variety Registered User regular
    Technically, she's more of a Limited Offer re-release, since this is probably the only time we can get her.

    Still, I don't think I'm getting her either, since doing so would cost me nearly all my CP and Gold. No way I'm emptying my pockets for her.

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    Yeah, I finally managed to get Ghost Rider, but I don't think I'll be able to get Grief. Love to get my hands on Hercules, but I need more Tactiticians and Bruisers before Scrappers.

    As far as heroes, let's see... Winter Soldier, Monica Rambeau, Red Hulk, A-Bomb... The Guardians crew, Nova, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon and Groot at least.

    HitFix: Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt already set to play Batman in 'Justice League'?
    According to sources, Joseph Gordon-Levitt absolutely will be appearing in "Justice League" as the new Batman.

    Now here's where things get interesting. The more insistent the drumbeat has become, the more poking around I've been doing, and it's looking like we may see Gordon-Levitt in the suit earlier than that. They're a long way from filming anything "Justice League" related, but they appear to be solidifying deals for Gordon-Levitt and, potentially, at least one other actor from the Nolan films to do… something.

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    World's Finest, perhaps?

  • TairuTairu Registered User regular
    If they have JGL star AS Bruce Wayne as Batman that would be cool

    It would be like Cloud Atlas almost, his spirit ascending from John Blake to actually being Batman

  • BullioBullio Registered User regular
    eh, I think I'd be fine with them even casting someone new and keeping the Nolan films their own standalone trilogy. People know Batman by now. Just cast someone as a young Bruce Wayne and go for it.

    I agree. However, without Levitt they'd lose a connection to Nolan's trilogy and that is something that would make them easier to cash-in to that franchise post-Rises.

  • KyouguKyougu Registered User regular
    Ugh, I was ready for a new interpretation of Batman now.

  • Robos A Go GoRobos A Go Go Registered User regular
    You don't think Levitt would offer the opportunity for a new interpretation of Batman? His personality is completely different.

  • ElderlycrawfishElderlycrawfish Registered User regular
    Caught this in SE++, but Bryan Singer tweeted that Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart will join the cast for Days of Future Past.

    Also McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence, and Hoult are returning as well.

    JGL's reps have since denied that rumor.

    Man am I happy that rumor was killed.

    It would be really weird for me to see an actor so young looking playing Batman.

    Why?

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    I just want to keep a wide berth from Nolan's Batman in future stories, especially if they involve the hypercapable Batman was fits in with the Justice League. Using JGL sets too much of a precedent to try and continue the story off from The Dark Knight Rises.

    He just seems very young, skinny & frail.

    He seems like a good fit for detective/martial artist batman. They'll never do dark knight returns with him but bulky bruiser batman isn't as cool anyway

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    Well, ideally, Batman is supposed to be both agile and a bruiser (See Batman: TAS)

    I've always liked Ninja Batman more than Pro Wrestler Batman, personally.

    The bigger problem is his age and looks. Levitt doesn't look weathered, compared to someone like Bale. JLA needs a veteran Batman so he's not the odd man out among the cast of gods and super-humans.

    TV Line: Joss Whedon's Red-Hot S.H.I.E.L.D. Pilot Adds 'Deadly' New Agent
    brett.jpg
    Relative newcomer Brett Dalton has joined the cast of Joss Wedon’s ABC pilot Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D., TVLine has learned exclusively.

    Dalton, whose credits include guest stints on Army Wives and Blue Bloods as well as a supporting role in National Geographic Channel’s forthcoming telepic Killing Lincoln, will play Agent Grant, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s highly-skilled rising stars. He’s deadly, precise, and cool under fire — but not so great with the people skills.

  • initiatefailureinitiatefailure Registered User regular
    All the agents are so young. Makes me feel terrible about my life choices. I should have been a hacking/martial arts/marksman/espionage master by this age

    Yep.

    I'd personally like to see an older actor, mid-40s, in the role.

    But I'd also like to see what an actor like Jeremy Sisto could do in the part.

    I don't think he needs to be a weathered veteran. Having any experience at all will put him head and shoulders above the novices, and both the legacy and technology can prop him up as well.

    Also, I'd rather not waste screen time on Batman saying, "I WORK ALONE," when we all know that the team-up is inevitable, and I think a younger, friendlier version works better for that.

    A quick reminder: City Of Heroes is shutting down tonight at midnight. Get your final screenshots and gameplay in before it's too late.

    God that is so stupid.

    "Yeah, so our Free-to-Play Superhero MMO is doing well, making money and easily outpacing our competitors in that space (DC Universe Online and Champions Online)... but we really don't give a shit anymore so instead of selling the assets and studio off, we're just shutting all that shit down."

  • DelduwathDelduwath Registered User regular
    That's really too bad. CoH was my first MMO (of only two, admittedly), and while I got bored of the gameplay almost instantly, and of the environment art even faster than that, the character design process was, frankly, worth a monthly subscription all on its own.

    Also, getting Super Jump and then just leaping around the city for like an hour is probably one of my top-10 gaming moments.

    Among the patch notes:

    Dr. Strange's, Storm's, and Thor's area attacks are now Catastrophic.
