    He probably will be, but they haven't confirmed it yet so there's a chance he pulls a War Machine

    To be honest adapting
    Ra's into a Green Arrow villain is a pretty smart move

    Ollie is very liberal and tries to see the best in people and better the world while Ra's is a realist/pessimist who sees the world as unclean and wants to purge the unworthy.

    Arrow's Ollie is a bit different but it still is a good pairing.

    GG

    I wouldn't lie to you

    The finale of the first season of Arrow is the first time I've yelled "fuck yes" at the TV in years

    It starts off a little slow and its got a brand of camp you have to buy into but I really love it

    So the "Marvel is better at movies, DC is better at TV shows" paradigm is preserved, it sounds like

    Oh, it's not their fault.
    Batman: The Animated Series came out in 1992. They've only had 21 years to glance at that for the correct pronunciation.

    Seriously. It's Raysh. For crying out loud.

    Am I out of line if I bitch at you guys for not putting that stuff behind spoilers?

    Because god dammit, I wish you had put that stuff behind spoilers.

    If you didn't I would have.

    Actually the proper arabic should be Rahss, there is no glottal stop in the original word. The way it's written in Batman is incorrect.

    I watched the first season of Arrow and liked it

    the obligatory CW family drama stuff is dumb as hell but the characters and action scenes are all very well done. My biggest problem is that it was kinda afraid to be a superhero show, but with the Suicide Squad and The Flash and Ollie possibly taking the name Green Arrow and vowing not to kill it sounds like Season 2 has embraced its roots.

    I won't spoil it too much but they have introduced (in 3 episodes) no less than 7 comics characters, all with costumes and a lot more colorful than stuff in season one.

    Ceno your pre-sentence spoiler kinda invalidates the point of spoilering it
    It isn't like there are a lot of Batman villains that have had a history of their name being pronounced incorrectly

    You're right, I misread, he says that he didn't have a destination planned when he got onto the book and figured out the first arc before coming up with the whole Secret Origin stuff.

    Still doesn't change that
    HIDDEN BROTHER YOU HAVEN'T KNOWN ABOUT YOUR WHOLE LIFE
    is a pretty silly reveal this far into Iron Man's publishing history

    I mean
    Mark Waid and James Robinson are doing the same thing with Spider-Man in their OGN
    and I am sure it will be a good story, as Secret Origin is, but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous and a lil dumb.
    the same story was told with spider-man 20 years ago though, in the adam troy castro sinister six books (which are great, and everyone should read)

    I watched the first few episodes of season one green arrow and really didn't dig it.

    As time went on though I'd catch the occasional episode late at night and eventually got into it.

    Actually wait, is this the same building they used for the X-Mansion?

    Man, dropping this tease after the Winter Soldier trailer. Maybe not the best timing.

    I'm a million times more excited for this than Cap or Thor.

    I think DoFP will probably be perfectly rad

    but nah man after that Cap 2 trailer bring it on

    I am a bit eh on the captain America trailer.

    Doing the all, shield is taking down crims before they break the law is something I am not that interested in watching.

    Maybe it'll be less about that and more about Bucky.

    I wasn't feeling the show until Diggle became a big part of the cast so give it that long

    As far as DoFP vs Cap goes, it's not really a contest for me, because barring individual characters, I have never been able to bring myself to give much of a damn about X-Men.

    I mean, I'll probably still see DoFP, and I still need to see First Class, and I could see myself even picking up an X-Book or two

    But they just don't appeal to me in the way that anything not-X-Men does

    A lot of that stuff falls off to more natural feeling references and cameos

    I don't think she's been called that since half way through the first season

    Yeah but the whole point is Cap clashing with SHIELD due to those more militaristic and aggressive actions

    I hope there are so many corrupt dudes in suits that Steve just looks real stern and disappointed at

    I get that.

    And it's not a bad plot.

    It's just that it's not a plot that I am excited with.

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Plus they can't really focus too much on Winter Soldier since
    it looks like they are trying to keep the Bucky reveal at least somewhat hidden
