@Background Pony #6799  
official?
 
“muh power levels!”

in the comics “Damage Control” a company the fixes the collateral damage done by Superhuman fights have a special discount for any damage that involves Deadpool

So I just got done watching All-Star Superman… sighs, why does DC have to screw up so much? They have made a better Superman, far better, and yet they insist on one which makes a mockery of all that Superman is about. They do not give him time to truly show what he is capable of and instead wish to try rushing things.
 
All-Star Superman was about 70 minutes long and it shows a better, more inspiring Superman then the childish attempts they are making with Man of Steel or Dawn of Justice. In making this more “realistic” they have smothered the light which Superman is supposed to be, while trying and failing to make him more like Batman or other more edgy superheroes.
 
Well shit, now I have make myself a bit depressed.

@EquestrianScholar  
Every time we see Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman in Supergirl, it makes me sad that we can’t have his version as the headliner of the movieverse.
 
Wonder Woman was better, so maybe DC is learning.

@EquestrianScholar  

@Thanotos Omega  
Still the best comic book page of all time.

@Holofan4life  
if not then certainly his,

@Phantom Rider  
I wanted to watch Supergirl, though I did have some concern with hearing that sometimes it pushes a bit to hard for a feminist bent. Especially I guess in Supergirl’s boss at work.
 
I have heard good things about the Wonderwoman movie, though I hear that while it seems they kept the idea she was made from clay they also have it that it was Zeus who gave her life which is concerning. That, and how they appear to have her as the oldest superhero in the DCCU with her being involved in World War I.
 
I will be cautiously optimistic though.
 
@Thanotos Omega  
When I get the chance, I do plan on reading fully the comic. I just haven’t had the chance yet, but I look forward to doing so. Signs, and I need to also find that comic where Superman as a son and is a father. Someone here showed a few pages here I just can’t remember what the comic is.

@EquestrianScholar  
It’s the mainline Superman book being published right now.
 
Also Super-Sons.
 

 
And yes Wonder Woman was good amazing what can be accomplished when the director actually likes the character.

Here’s another comic book page that I adore.
 

 
I love the story this panel tells with the rain and the Spiderman costume in the trash.

@Holofan4life  
Adults are just children grown up.

@Holofan4life  
there’s been a lot of homage to that cover most resent is Unbeatable Squirrel girl #21

I like playing modified ROMs of retro games.

@EquestrianScholar  
With Supergirl: Early on, they are pretty ham-handed with it, but less so as time goes on. They learn how to ‘‘show’’ a woman being a superhero instead of ‘‘screaming’’ it at us in every single scene like the first handful of episodes. You’ll even start to like Cat by the midpoint of the first season (well, I did, anyway.)
 
Superman debuts as a full guest star in season two after only some very brief cameos in season one. This version knocks it out of the park as both Clark and Superman. (A lot of actors don’t make their Clark that different from Superman. There’s only two to really compliment on that score: Reeve’s switching of personas made you believe that yes, maybe you could fool people with the glasses if you have the power of Super-Acting, while Tyler Hoechlin best shows how Superman is three people; the great hero, the mild-mannered reporter, and his true self when not wearing either mask.) He’s often compared positively to the Snyderverse’s Supes for having actual emotions other than brooding, but it’s more than that. It’s amazing what he (and of course those writing/directing him) did with the character in just three episodes and I wish he had his own show.
 
What’s wrong with the idea of Zeus being Wonder Woman’s dad (one way or another), or her being the first of the heroes? Which, yes, she will be, unless down the line someone like Jonah Hex ends up in the present day.

should Squirrel Girl & Gwen pool crossover?

Ixis Naugus vs. Frieza: Who will win?

@Pacific Glow  
Here’s the question.  
Does Ixis have the ability to LITERALLY destroy a Planet at any given moment?

@Background Pony #6799  
I was afraid to ask at /co/ but what’s up with all the gwen and why can’t they just solve all their problems by making all their contested characters gwen?
 
iron gwen  
gweneye  
captain margwen
 
that sort of thing

Some nerd: Comics nowadays are shit!
 
Me: *shows them this*
 

@thevideonasty  
shhh
 
serious types will have a heart attack

@thevideonasty  
I just saw the preview for it…
 
It looks epic.

@OptimusPrimevil
 
@ice1517  
In the previews there are various humanised Looney Tunes characters hanging out in Porky’s bar, and you can tell who each of them are.
 
Tweety’s “I tawt I taw a puddy cat” is treated as a euphemism for getting pussy.
 
We are blessed to live in a world where this exists.

@thevideonasty  
Oh I know.
 
just saying there are people who want their comics super serious and stuff like these (the whole dc-lt thing) is an abomination in their eyes.
