I can't decide which is worse, the voice acting, sound effects or the shoes.

Nice that they were able to get Cyborg's VA from Teen titans though I guess?

I wanted to post a video showing that they are at least painfully similar (saying only that the VA did a good job) but apparently you can't have a video of cyborg on Youtube without it being a fan music video.

I can't seem to find any trace of this cartoon on wikipedia or IMDB.  You sure it's Phil LaMarr, not Khary Payton?

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Actually, never mind.

Once you mentioned Phil Lamarr I instantly recognized the voice.

I'm pretty sure it's filed under Superfriends (2010), because what Superfriends thing was there last year?

I don't know if the actual comic is any good at all, but man, this is the best comic trailer I've seen in a long time.

We already know Superman won't be married to Lois Lane come September. So how does DC top One More Day? Simple.

HIS PARENTS ARE DEEEAAAAAAAAD!

Of course they fucking are; this is Morrison overtly using the original Siegel/Shuster version of Superman.

Superman's parents were dead from 1939 to 1986.  This is the OPPOSITE of a retcon.


(Though if you want to get technical, Action Comics #1 states that Clark Kent was raised in an orphanage.  So the existence of Ma and Pa Kent is ITSELF a retcon.)

The opposite of a retcon is still a retcon.

So, they're removing most of Superman's supporting cast. I assume they'll give him new ones, which won't stick because comic book writer inertia is the most powerful force on earth.

Well yes, that's the other reason that the nerdrage over this is completely asinine.

Ok. I know this is old news but I recently picked up some Mighty Avengers and started reading.
First book was #11 and all I can say is
What the shit? Why does every panel have someone with a thought bubble repeating what they said out loud or just cursing. It's not endearing, it's not making things more personal. It just looks bad and makes the writing feel cheap and sleazy.
I'm going to read one more. If it's there, I'm done with it until someone can tell me they stop doing that.

Honestly? Morrison is doing something that's vastly more interesting than Brainiac attack#35687-C or Kneel Before Zod or whatever 2000 stories that all end with Superman punching something. A return to his Siegel/Schuster roots is great because that Superman was a stone cold badass. Not paying your workers enough or having unsafe conditions, Mr. Mine Boss? Then prepare to be sealed in your mine until you die.

That said I imagine everything will change once Man of Seel is released and he has to reset to the John Byrne status quo

You've never read anything by Bendis, have you?

USM, I guess. But there were only Spider-man's thought bubbles. Sure it was bitching, but Spider-man's secret power is the proportional bitching of a spider.

...so I haven't been keeping up with Black Panther Takes Over Daredevil's Book, but according to Comics Worth Reading, in the latest issue he fights the Hate-Monger, who this time is a right-winger who blames all his problems on affirmative action.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to buy that book.

I like how the second-to-last entry straight-up acknowledges "Oh come on, nobody really dies in these things". Not that that's changed or anything, but they sure were cheerily open about it once upon a time.

Still not caring about most of the relaunch, but Cornell remains a bright spot:

Quote
On Demon Knights: Cornell said that he was very excited to write this book, and that its swords and sorcery is in the Dragon Age/Game of Thrones vein. Additionally, a new character called the Horsewoman is involved. Horsewoman will reportedly use a wheelchair, and while Cornell explained he knows she can't replace Oracle, he's very excited about her.

On Stormwatch: They've been around in the DC Universe for a long time, and find the new superheroes such as the Justice League rather unprofessional and gauche, since they were fighting alien invasions and similar threats covertly for years. He also stated that he wanted to get a "They're Still Gay" T-shirt to reassure people about Apollo and Midnighter, and that the villain in the first arc is -- wait for it -- the moon.

The Flashpoint comics baffle me. You have a few "What if this dude didn't have powers? Well his life would kinda suck" series, a few "What if Deathstroke was a PIRATE" series, and some that seem to be introducing characters but are just kind of off there (The Outsider, mary sue of the decade)

It's like, do these comics stand for themselves? Are they pointing towards DC's "new" direction (which seems to be exactly the same as the old direction)? We just don't know.
