    That is also the best that Drax's old costume has ever looked

    Yeah, that costume is giving me the vapors. It's like '08 dark coat Starlord and movie Starlord did a fusion dance, and this is the sexy result.

    Gridman! Baby DAN DAN! Baby DAN DAN!

    Yeah that might be my new favorite Star-Lord costume

    The Untitled CW Team-Up show got a few more details dropped:
    It was being described as a love letter to team/ensemble films like The Magnificent Seven or Ocean's 11 as opposed to "lone gunman" type stories like Arrow and Flash.
    The team will be disparate and not super similar to each other, with a really rag tag vibe.
    The primary villain will be a major DC villain the neither Flash nor Arrow have utilized.
    The three new heroes were chosen for their popularity and people will be "very excited" when the identity of the female hero is revealed.

    Sounds a lot more like a proper Justice League/Society show instead of an anthology series like some predicted

    So I'm guessing (Arrow Spoilers)
    Sara gets Lazarus Pit'd

    who would you cast as Vandal Savage, Blank

    I'm gonna say... Ian McShane

    Too old, ironically enough.

    He's got the voice and the face but dude is in his 70s and kinda scrawny

    It needs to be someone who can throw down in a brawl and is super imposing

    I wonder if Ra's al Ghul looks at Vandal Savage and just mentally flips him off every time he thinks about him.

    I thinks he's out of CW's price/caliber range and I know he's fancast as everything

    But yo Idris Elba would be a rad Vandal Savage

    Vandal Savage's status as someone that's claimed to be about a hundred different historical figures might make casting him as a non-white dude kind of difficult, I think.

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    Like, you could do it, but you'd probably need to change his backstory a bit

  • I needed anime to post.I needed anime to post. boom Registered User regular
    actually speaking of nick frost, Peter Serafinowicz would probably be alright

    yeah, it wouldn't work with a 1:1 adaptation but they've made way bigger changes to backstory than that so it could work

    Casting someone like Idris Elba could actually be really interesting if they keep the immortal man stuff. Living through centuries of racism and oppression could lend a lot of weight to the character.

  • KingofMadCowsKingofMadCows Registered User regular
    Either Phil Morris or Avery Brooks

    Also, presuming that a hyper-evolved caveman turns out white is a little uncomfortable.

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    If he's going to claim to have been Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great, you actually might want to cast someone of Mediterranean descent.

    Vandal Savage was genghis khan and khafra and Caesar, huh

    all I have to say is that certain motherfuckers better hope I never write their favorite comic book characters because there's nothing I love more than dumb time travel/alternate universe stories

    there's a reason I love lost so damned much

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    No no I love Vandal Savage to death, he's a great character

    But him actually (and not lying through his teeth which is also wholly plausible) claiming to be a Mongolian Warlord is uh...iffy.

    My favorite Vandal Savage moment is when he was friends with the inventor of the wheel who showed him this brilliant invention and Savage immediately murdered him and took credit

    I don't get to buy nearly as many comic books as I would like, but I assure you, I am a big fan of Claremont's run, which was full of that bullshit

    i generally see vandal savage as the embodiment of the notion that people in power scheme to ensure that people like them remain in power, except in his case the people like him is him because he is immortal

    claiming to be famous figures is the exact sort of shit people like that would do if they could

    basically, vandal savage runs north korea

    basically people should read DC One Million, which is one of the best crossover events ever and also has Vandal Savage as the main villain

    the only thing I can tolerate about twilight is the pure insanity of vampires playing baseball but they can only do it during a thunderstorm because the crack of their bats sound like thunder

    if she had just written a novel about vampire baseball I would be her biggest fan
