    It'd be like the guy from MK 1 and 2 saying TOASTY, except it's a DC game so he'd probably yell 52 instead.

    He could yell reboot or flashpoint, those sound catchier.

    He yells "FLASHPOINT" and everyone's health resets to full.

    Except for Green Lantern and Batman.

    It confirms there's alternate-universe stuff going on.

    Also I love the nod to Arkham Asylum's Scarecrow stages

    Well impossible til the pvp season ends, then he'll be 135 cp ( and then will be a required deploy in an upcoming spec ops anyway)

    Sigh, I haven't bought a character for myself in like 6 months on that game, it's just save cp and see who you need for spec ops deploy.

    I still have..... 800+ CPs before I complete the current roster, not counting the locked/limited ones.

    Avengers Alliance for android hasn't updated to 1.05 yet, those asshats. I only bought it for Mockingbird!

    Ares confirmed in Injustice via a tweet from one of the pro playtesters:

    He also had very positive things to say about it overall and that if he were running a fighting game league Injustice would definitely be on it

    I'd start watching tournaments if they were about superheroes punching each other in the face.

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Well, there are Marvel vs. Capcom tournaments

    CYpGAPn.png
  • EtchwartsEtchwarts Eyes Up Registered User regular
    Oh, yeah, I guess that's true.

    I think that style of tournament just doesn't appeal to me as much? Those games usually have a lot of things going on all at once on screen, which I'm sure is fine if you know the game, but if you don't it feels like a bunch of nonsense. Cool looking nonsense with characters I like, but nonsense nonetheless.

    The MK style of doing things is something I'm more interested in watching, personally.

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    I am the same way

    Marvel is too fast and insane for me to keep track of

    MK and Injustice, especially since it is 1v1 are way more entertaining

    Annnnd the final character of Injustice got figured out.

    First there was Flash dodging an ice ray in the cinematic but no ice-themed fighters

    then the achievement for playing all of the villains with a mystery lady with blue hair in the middle

    and finally:

    which matches with:

    So there you go, Killer Frost of all people is the final character.

    Ryan Reynolds not interested in starring in another abomination as Bore Jordon unless you Nolan or Whedon does it.
    It's well known that Warner Bros. is working to bring DC Comics' Justice League to the big screen, but the studio may need to find a new protector of Sector 2814. In an interview today with Empire, Green Lantern star Ryan Reynolds explains that he's not planning on reprising his Hal Jordan role anytime soon.

    "I saw how difficult it is to make that concept palatable," he explains, "and how confused it all can be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or you don't really know how to access that world properly. That world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with. So at this point I have very little interest in joining that kind of world."

    He's not willing to completely rule out the possibility that the right creative team could change his mind, however.

    "[A] great script and a good director can always turn that around," he admits. "...I believe that Joss Whedon is the guy that just nails it and Christopher Nolan obviously nails it. So if they were gonna do it like that, it would be an interesting thing to do."

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    I actually thought Ryan Reynolds was a smart choice for Hal and would have been totally fine if the script wasn't hot garbage,

    Yeah GL didn't suck because the idea is unpalatable or because it doesn't fit the silver screen or whatever

    it sucked because it was bad

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    Ryan Reynolds would have been a great Kyle Rayner, NOT Hal Jordan.

    I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

    Well

    Hal Jordan is terrible so

    I've said it before, but as soon as I heard, "The yellow color of fear," in the Green Lantern trailer, I was like, "Aw, fuck. Geoff Johns got his hands in this."

    It was all just too big, too soon.

    Really, I think First Flight outlined a pretty good Green Lantern movie. Rookie space cop goes on a ride-along with his new, corrupt partner, and shit goes sideways.

    It's not as grandiose, but it's something that audiences can wrap their heads around.

    The GL movie probably had a lot of executive meddling. It seems unlikely that inconsistency in the tone, the random shifts between earth and space, the bad pacing, etc. were originally in the script.

  • CadeCade Eppur si muove.Registered User regular
    I get the feeling if the movie had succeeded the input Johns had would have been touted and pushed but since the film was a wet sloppy one all over the floor his involvement was largely downplayed despite some rumors being at the time it might cost him some of his clout behind the scenes and cost him.

    The only thing I remember about the GL movie is Blake Lively's acting. If the movie GL had been Alan Scott, he would have been powerless the whole movie.

    Nah.

    I love Kyle, but Reynolds is the charming leading man hot guy type.

    Kyle gets ladies but is a big nerd and not very suave or jock-y. I mean he's a comic book artist!

    I think that might have been a wooden acting joke actually.

    Oddly enough I always had the impression that they added a touch of Kyle to Hal's character to liven him up for the film. Didn't work, just like Kyle being written as Hal lite in the comic was a disaster once.

    Also Kyle has worked on a number of things when it comes to art, he isn't exactly a comic book artist (unless that's new in the 52) but he's done toys, magazine stuff, paintings etc. Anything art he can do.

    Cap's art isn't a defining trait for him, unlike Kyle.
