    I haven't seen Superman Vol 2 anywhere. I was gonna buy it at Target yesterday, with my gift card, but they didn't have it. So I bought a 10" JLU Green Arrow figure, a diecast Flash figure, a JLU Flash figure, and a JLU Superman figure.

    On the back of one of the toyboxes, it showed toys of GA on a motorcycle, Batman on a motorcycle, and....Flash on a motorcycle?

    Why the fuck would he be on a motorcycle?

    I love how Ghost Rider's motorcycle is riding ANOTHER motorcycle.

    ...yes, I know that was the joke. It's just that at first I thought the joke was going to be something like "Ghost Rider? Oh wait."

    I was watching some Batman Vol 4 last night, and I can tell this is when the show started going down. Scarecrow's redesign is ridiculous. And they changed Tim Drake's background like no tomorrow.

    It's still great, but not as great. Although the guy that does Nightwing is exactly how I would expect Dick to sound.

    I was watching a lot of Volume 4 the other day too, seeing as how it was a Christmas present, and I think a lot of things were great. Some of the best episodes were during this part of the series. Over the Edge, Legends of the Dark Knight, Mad Love, a lot of really goddamn good episodes. On top of it all, I prefer this Batman design.

    Volume 4 has some of my favorite episodes from Batman The Animated series. My favorite ones though are the one where Batgirl dies and the one where Joker gets the big inheritance from the dead mobster.

    I havent seen many of the later episodes, butI did enjoy Joker's Millions alot. Except that everyone looked a bit weird, especially Joker. Why did they get rid of his red lips and do that weird thing to his eyes? At least he was put right for his appearances in Justice League, which have been altogether too few.

    DC wanted to Timm to redesign the villians so it would seem like a "new show" because they have fucking retarded policies. Another one is that they won't let Timm use any Batman villians in Justice League since "The Batman" started airing, because they think people will get confused.

    You are right of course, and the JL cartoon brought that up way before it was in the comics, and I thought it was wonderful characterisation of Joker to have him make himself useful to Luthor's group in order to serperate Batman from the others so noone else would take him out.

    But Joker wants Batman's attention so much its inconcievable that he wouldnt come up more. I think hes actually in an episode or two of JL that I havent seen yet, but I think he would get pissed off if Batman kept saving the world and going into space and actiong like he was too good for the Joker.

    That sucks, I would really like to see a Tower of Babel based storyline with Ra's Al Ghul.

    Most Batman villians, with the exception of Ra's Al Ghul and the Joker, both on one occasion that I can remember, don't really mess with the JLA so it sort of makes sense.

    Joker hasn't been in any episodes since it became JLU (because of the "embargo" as it's been called.)

    During Season 1 of JL, he was in "Injustice For All." During Season 2, he was in "Wild Cards."

    Apparently Blockbuster was excluded from the embargo though, since he's to be in the DCAU Legion of Doom. Not too big a deal though since I dont think he has directly conflicted with Batman in the comics for years. They should tatally do an episode where Joker gets offended at not being invited to the Legion and goes apeshit, and make it as similar to the scene in Ininite Crisis as possible (Im still trying to make my mind up over the series, but that bit was cool)

    So, I have enough money in Best Buy Certificates for Firefly: The Complete Series, and one (maybe two) volume(s) of BTAS.

    My only question, which one(s)?

    Go with one and/or two. Then every time you have extra money, buy the next season.

    Unless Hush has something to do with the Crisis on Infinite Earths, it's possible because the actual history in the DC Universe was rewritten. Earth-2 and Earth-1 were never separate, all heroes coexisted with each other always. Historically, Crisis is no longer of influence because it technically never happened. In the regular DC Universe, though. Hypertime and whatnot allows for pockets to exist where the history change never happened.

    How is Alan Scott fighting Icicle pre-Crisis?

    The idea of Alan Scott as an "old-school" hero still exists post-Crisis.

    I think the episode "Torch Song". Maybe"The Ultimate Thrill".

    I just watched "Over the Edge". Holy shit.

    Edit: Just watched the commentary on it. Good stuff.

    "There's Nightwing with his...mullet."
    "And his achey breaky heart."

    Because the Icicle that Alan Scott would have fought doesn't exist post crisis.
    The one in the current universe showed up within the last few years.
