Give characters costumes! I know it's R-rated and all, but how are you gonna sell merch or toys of that Huntress and Black Canary? I mean, they don't need to since they get all the dollars from Harley Quinn merch, but it'd be nice to try and boost other characters' cultural relevance
seeing the trailer, i am super into the movie's title being such a blatant misdirect. it fits the tone of the trailer. the birds of prey are absolutely supporting characters being sucked into whatever harley is doing, so i like them playing with that.

SnicketysnickThe Greatest Hype Man inWesterosRegistered Userregular
A Harley Quinn movie could very well be worthwhile. But using the Birds of Prey title for it sucks. Are they gonna do a League of Superheroes movie next with 90% Supergirl and a bunch of uncostumed background characters who have the names of some major members?

So an inverse of Justice League where there was no Superman for 95% of the film

Yeah there definitely seems to be some intention there, when you take into account the way that the title is always written and stuff like that
I think Drake is a totally fine codename, certainly no worse than Robin, but yeah the costume sucks
Costume ain't Bendis' fault though
Robin is not literally the characters name
Yeah but no one knows it is his last name
It doesn't matter if they don't, Drake is just another cool bird name
But Tim does, which seems like he's making a giant misstep on purpose.
Nah

The whole thing isn't an issue. No one thinks Batman's last name is Batman or Flash is Barry Flash or whatever
No one has any reason to think Drake is anything other than another superhero name and in Comic Book World Tim's outfit is enough to keep his identity secret, so there's nothing to really worry about
Drake exposes that we've all just been okay with Robin as an acceptable superhero name this whole time. "Oh, that cute singing bird is a cool hero guy? Well, my superhero name is just duck now. It's duck. Before you complain, you let Robin go for like 80 years now." This makes Nightwing seem incredibly cool by comparison... oh they've had him vacate that name recently. That's uh... something.

It's weird that Tim is using Drake, a term specifically referring to a male duck, and yet is dressed entirely in brown, a color more commonly associated with female ducks.
Batman #80 has Bruce and Selena returning to Gotham and proves that for all his methodical, dour character analyses, Tom King can write a really fuckin good hype moment when he needs to
The issue opens with Pyg and Two-Face finding a mustachioed man lingering after curfew and go to rough him up. He throat punches both of them and Harvey coughs out "do you know whose city this is?"

King, Gerads and Shaner talked about Strange Adventures at NYCC and shared some art:
King says that the book is about "the dichotomy between the myths we tell and the realities we face."
Shaner and Gerads are both trying out new techniques for the book, Shaner is coloring his own interiors for the first time and Gerads is drawing his backgrounds traditionally and then drawing the character digitally over them.
The most interesting part is that apparently the reason the book is titled Strange Adventures and not Adam Strange is because there is a second lead that hasn't been revealed yet.

I'm in the exact boat.
I get why people enjoyed her portrayal, but that trailer was just full on grating for me.
Wait what role is Ewan McGregor playing in this
iirc Black Mask[

I am very happy that DC is letting birth Renee and Vic keep the mantle
However hes given Tim Drake a new identity and costume, and it's one of the worst redesigns I've ever seen
Tim will now be "The Drake", which is one of the worst code names of all time, and be wearing basically a duck costume
Cool cool cool
Costume ain't Bendis' fault though

Drake seems good. I don’t think it’s just the comparison, but that’s definitely part of it
It falls perfectly into the middle of the range where my colorblindness just goes "???" and I literally can't nail down what it is
It might as well be beige
It pretty much is. It's mostly brown and neutral grey, with yellow accents, and a red and black dark grey "robin's head" badge.
I'm not a fan.
Has brown ever been a major component of a costume before, besides Wolverine?
Barring characters who mostly wear like, leather jackets, I can't think of a Capital C Costume that had a ton of brown
You can make it work, like with Wolverine, but that costume is definitely not it
I'm sure because to me he's the first Robin I really read about but he seems like he should always be Robin.
Dick is obviously Nightwing and should someday be Robin.
Jason as Red Hood has worked out better than anyone could have ever imagined.
Step his spoiler or preferibly Batgirl.
Damian feels like he could be his own hero eventually or even Batman as well.
Steph is better as Spoiler and Cass is better as Batgirl.
I am saying its lazy and it sounds bad
Yummmmmmm
Yeah, the name Red Robin made me hungry.
