There is a Glut of Superheroes on My TV! Most of them good!

BlankZoe

I will make a proper OP after I sleep but no one was making the thread so I decided to make one for now

Currently airing comic TV shows:
Flash
Arrow
Legends of Tomorrow
Agents of SHIELD
Agent Carter
I, Zombie
Gotham
Lucifer
The Walking Dead, I guess

Movies on the horizon:

Doctor Strange - November 2016
Batman vs. Superman - March 2016
Suicide Squad - August 2016
X-Men: Apocalypse - June 2016
Deadpool - February 2016

Should be a Deadpool themed thread. Just toss in all the batshit crazy advertising and it'll probably fill an OP.

BlankZoe

Okay the real reason I made this is because the final member of the new Thunderbolts was revealed


Fuck yeeeeah

The book is by Jim Zub and John Malin and despite the initial tagline, they are still heroic in nature

Undead Scottsman

Dammit, I was literally coming here to guess Doc Samson.

BlankZoe

Oh

Oh god dammit

Apparently Jon Malin is basically Liefeld Jr.


Dammit, Marvel.

Centipede Damascus

What happened to Fixer there? He apparently grew a bunch of hair and turned white (or possibly Asian)?

Also dang it Bucky, get a haircut! You're not brainwashed anymore!

Undead Scottsman

I like how that makes Moonstone look like she has exposed muscle.

BlankZoe

Maaaan

A Thunderbolts book led by Bucky should be 100% my thing

But Zub hasn't really wowed me at all with anything I've read of his and I actively disliked Skullkickers and that art is abysmal

Kinda bummed

Chincymcchilla

Is skullkickers the one with the really horribly awful onomatopoeia

Have you tried Wayward? I've really enjoyed the first couple trades.

Man, didn't you just drop a bunch of comics you actually liked? Look at this like a blessing in disguise. :razz:

Elderlycrawfish

What is going on with Bucky's robo fingers in that?

Garlic Bread

I liked Legends of Tomorrow well enough. It was very pilot-y, so hopefully it'll get better with more episodes

The Hawks are definitely the worst, though, which is a shame because they should be awesome

Fencingsax

It's like someone at Marvel saw what DC was doing with revitalizing everything 90s, thought "I wanna piece of that action", and found an artist who decided it was a good idea.

Fencingsax

Edit: Whooooops

Pony

I turned Legends off

Netflix has raised the bar too high.

AtomicTofu

Shit, I confused Jim Zub with Zeb Wells

Peewi

I guess Agent Carter is on TV in America, but here it's just on Netflix and they've put up the start of season 2 now. I guess new eps are only coming a couple of days after they've been on TV in America, because Netflix says ep3 is coming the 28th and Wiki says 26th.

Eat it You Nasty Pig.

I enjoyed the legends pilot more than I expected to, but it was also more or less free of character melodrama. I fully expect that the hawks will be the vehicle for CW's requisite amount of silly relationship drama, which hopefully won't bog things down too much

AtomicTofu

I think both of the Hawkpeople are not great acting-wise

Lost Canuck

I thought Vandal Savage was a bit dull, which is a shame because he's great as the smartest person in a room or a crazy immortal in the comics.

Undead Scottsman

There's a rumor going at around that DC is going to have a big relaunch later this year with everything having a new #1, and a greater focus on properties that currently have film or TV shows on the immediate horizon. I wonder if they'll keep the "new 52" branding if true

if that means they're also going to try to shift the comics to be more like the film properties

lol

JayKaos

New 52 Supes has already killed at least one villain, hasn't he?

It's been...
18 months?

They're due for an awful half-baked reboot

SimBen

Haven't watched Legends yet, but as for this week's episodes

Agent Carter>Flash>Arrow

though I'm more into this season of Arrow than Flash (mostly because Dahrk is a way more interesting villain than Zoom), this was a flat-ass mid-season opening episode for Arrow.

didn't they drop the New 52 branding after Convergence?

KingofMadCows

I wonder what will happen to the straight to DVD animated movies if DC does another reboot. They were trying to make a new continuity based on New 52 with the movies.

Maybe they'll be allowed to do more stuff of their own again. It would be good if they were allowed to do more stuff with Gods and Monsters, that's actually a good "darker and grittier" reimagining.

Peewi

I just watched the season 2 premiere of Agent Carter.

Is Zero Matter based on something in the comics? I tried searching for it and the only thing I could find was that it was in Agents of SHIELD where it was called Darkforce.

EDIT: Or I could just search for that other name and find it immediately.

Yeah, I think that branding officially stopped with the last new crop of #1s that they marketed as DCYou.

And then post-partum depression.

Nah, it's darkforce. That's what they were calling it in the build up for the season.

Introducing the New Old 52 "what the fuck do you people want just stop buying Marvel god please" Classic-Verse

Olivaw

Look if it gets me my old Superman with a decent costume and a good writer attached I don't give a fuck what they call it

But if they're taking cues from those movies

I doubt it

David_T

Rebirth. Everyone starts over again. 52 new titles, brand new continuity for everyone, it'll be great.

SimBen

What if Batman's parents

were dead

David_T

What if Batman's parents just died and we follow 12 year old Bruce Wayne, but introduce every Batman villain ever as adults?

This is a million dollar idea right here
