Doesn't Batman Beyond had a really cool movie? I barely remember watching it in Toonami one, it had some kind of twist involving the joker.

It does, that movie is really great and actually slightly disturbing honestly. I just wish there were more like it in the Beyond timeline.

You should give Batman Beyond Unlimited a shot, I've heard it's a pretty good book. It's up to eleven issues I believe.
 
The Batman Beyond Return of the Joker movie is so good. Really miss the DCAU. If any of you haven't watched all of Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, get on that ASAP.

That is a disappointing female count, depressing. I would have liked to seen some Big Barda representation as well. That is amazing news, I am very proud of you :D I am not on Facebook to keep up with things much anymore so PM me and let me know how things go and any time you are visiting!

Thank you! :3 I'm super weird and insecure about my writing, but really at this point I have the connections. If nothing happens it's all on me! I really just have to get over my issues and get to writing. I'll definitely keep you updated on how it's going and my whereabouts. And always feel free to drop me a PM too!

Yeah it can get really expensive, sometimes it's just better to buy separate cards instead of a booster and try to get lucky with it. I'll let you know, I just need my deck to arrive first. A deck that has been taking like a month to get here. Ugh.

Hopefully it didn't get lost in the mail. D:

I don't really read comics but I did read and enjoy the original 52 in spite of not knowing most of the background stuff going on.

My favorite part was when the
Crocodile Four Horseman robot ate Black Adam's crippled adoptive son
.

Oh and congrats! You still haven't shown me any of your writing. :D
Click to expand...
The original 52 as in the series they did a few years back? With Renee becoming The Question? I've been meaning to pick that one up but man I'm kind of soured on DC at the moment. And gracias! :) I should probably show you something. Keep bugging me about it so I feel bad and will write and have things to show!

Marvel and Image are where the more exciting creative teams are right now. I always love to give suggestions to anyone looking for something to read. I picked up the first trades of Prophet(Brandon Graham) and Winter Soldier(Brubaker) today, hoping they're as good as I've heard.

Pau, get hired by DC and produce a book that saves comics!
Click to expand...
I'm definitely gonna try! For right now though, I have a webcomic in the works with a really good friend and talented artist. Well, actually, before even that I just need to practice practice practice and get over these huge insecurities.

Hm, I've never been one to read comics aside from manga actually lol. I might give it a shot. Gonna look into it more. One thing that disappoints me about the Beyond timeline is how little compelling villains it has, I mean I know Batman has had like decades to get its' roster of baddies up to what it is now. I just wish Beyond had at least one that was more compelling. They all seem either boring remakes of old ones or just uninspired new ones.

Maybe or it could have been stopped by the import stuff police, I forget what the word in English for them is, but yeah they're annoying. I could end up having to pay more because of it.

Inque was probably my favorite villain from the show. She did some pretty gross stuff. Things actually got pretty dark with some of them but yeah, no one was really iconic.

Really sucks that those import people would have a problem with Pokemon cards, of all things. :/

Don't remember. It's been 3 years and the only arcs that I can summarize off-hand are Black Adam's and Booster Gold's.

I think we gotta encourage each others writing because I've been lazy on it since my NaNo story; which I should show you one of these days. Good luck and godspeed! Also, join the GAF Writing Challenges!

Amazing.
 
Inque was a true badass, one of the few worthy additions to the Rogue's Gallery. A little on the nose re: Venom but I always felt DC never really cornered that type of villain despite flirting with it often beforehand.
 
Acid08 said:
Are you reading Hellboy In Hell? It's quite dope so far. It's the perfect time to jump into Marvel/DC stuff. Although there is always something on Image worth checking out. =D

I found that the DC animated movies seem to be better in pretty much respect compared to the Marvel movies. Planet Hulk was especially bad. New TMNT is pretty cool :). The series IDW is publishing right now is really fun, it's written by Kevin Eastman!
Click to expand...

Of course!! I am such a huge Hellboy fan it's ridiculous. Even more than Batman, blasphemy I know :D New TMNT AND Kevin Eastman is involved? I am definitely adding that to the must read list.

Agreed. I am not a big fan of the newest Spider-man movies but I'd love to see them take a new stab at Venom and/or Carnage. Have a feeling Carnage would be too dark for them and if they did attempt it what we would get is water downed crap but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Maximum Carnage/Separation Anxiety is what I found myself imagining for the 3rd movie when walking out of the theater of Spider-Man 1 (knowing there was no way they could get it all together for part 2). When I heard that SM3 involved the symbiotes, I couldn't believe my ears, and I shut myself off from any further hype.

And then.... :(

So who's the best Batman villain?

Batman isn't even my favorite superhero, but it's tough to argue with his Rogue's Gallery. Just a great cavalcade of answers to the question, "what happens when you make fear your ally?"

edit: I'm not sure I can name any Flash-exclusive villains at all :-x
 
Yeah ofcourse the Joker is the best :P

I also like Harley Quinn, but I wish she was a bit less naive. She's supposed to be really intelligent. I know her 'thing' is being totally obsessed with the Joker but it would be nice to see her a bit more independent

Batman TAS Harley is best Harley, didn't like what they did with her aesthetically - especially in the video games. I agree she is an interesting character though and would be cool to see her expanded upon (which she may or may not have been in the comics as I haven't kept up with them.)

I find most Batvillains boring, crazy killers and mobsters get like that after a while. Flash rogues have their own culture and ethics. Hell they police themselves. But I always found blue collar villains more interesting.

Well I did like the Arkham City version of Harley, but not the Arkham Asylum nurse outfit.

You have me sold, interested in checking out Flash now, any idea what would be a good starting point?

The Flash: Rogues and Flash:Rogue War trade paperbacks is a good start.

Rogue war also has Zoom, imagine a bad guy who's sole motivation is to make the hero the best damn hero on earth. Shit is chilling.
 
Comic-wise, Spiderman's got the best rogue cast imho.

You know what I'd like to see?
Marvel and DC creating a joint-partnership sub-company or something with a new comic that combines Marvel and DC characters. Not just for a one-shot - make it a continuing story!
 
Speaking of comics, are there any other superheroes other than Batman who have decent oneshots?

Might be worth saying that I'm not much of a fan of the superhero genre so my standards are probably enormously high. I liked the Arkham Asylum comic book by Morrison and McKean, and Gotham By Gaslight. Not much else though.
 
aw I get so tired of this generic superhero shit. i can enjoy it of course & I'm probably exaggerating right now but it sucks that everybody's always talking
about super- and spiderman and there's nobody to discuss promethea or captain britain
or other slightly more obscure stuff :/
