Doctor Fate continues to be a disappointment. The art is good, but not great, and the writing is mediocre. Too much exposition by half. Gonna give it one or two more issues to get its shit together, then I'm dropping it.

Martian Manhunter, on the other hand, was a lot of fun! It looks like they're doing something slightly different than the usual White Martian Invasion plotline, though that's pretty clearly the basis of it. Also, Mr. Biscuits
=/= J'onn, so that's a fun mystery. I also liked how little attention eh drew until he stopped the subway, that sort of thing always amuses me somehow.
The fight with the League was another standout.

That cringe inducing moment when you accidentally click on a friend's name on Facebook chat and think they just sent the message that was sent two years ago. Urggh.

This bit

It’s a Superman film in which Superman is impotent, and needs to be told by other people to do something, anything (or even nothing) while being depressed and upset that he’s stronger than anybody, can fly and is bulletproof.

Has basically no basis in reality. We don't know how potent (or not) Superman is through the film, and the whole bit with Ma Kent was her telling him that he needs to decide what he's going to do with his powers, that he can't let anybody else dictate that to him.

I watched the movie and couldn't tell you that. That level of detail is, i mean, ok.

Also, not crazy about following up a legit and massive lack of racial sensitivity/awareness with some dumb marvel/dc bullshit like it's the same thing (speaking to the other dude now, GH, before you get heated)

I liked the first issue of Doctor Fate, but this one felt slower. Manhunter was a winner again this week.
I thought Biscuits was J'onn too, at least at first. I did love him with the kids in the train station though, that was adorable.

he ain't wrong here.

also irons is supposed to be Alfred there? seemed more like a gordon. didn't he have a shoulder holdter?
Click to expand...

He's wrong about a bit of it.

Yeah, Irons is Alfred. If you mean that brown thing around his neck(?), I don't think that was a shoulder holster (I thought it was one of those long tape rulers tailors use).

are we seriously going to discuss the man of steel here? It's nothing but endless debate with everyone on both sides on their high horse.

If you watched MoS and then that part of the trailer the level of detail is insane.

At least DCU's current operatic brown juvenile Finchergoth is a personality, as much as the lighthearted self-aware smart alecy Farvaru/Whedon thing is for Marvel.

The Fantastic Four trailers are just...nothing. Just the most boring, boilerplate, seen these beats a million times lookin' superhero movies in cinema todday.

Marvel just announced another Inhumans series: "All New Inhumans"

Come on guys, no matter how hard you push them, one title hardly sells well enough to sustain itself, let alone multiple.

Stop trying to make Inhumans happen, Marvel. I'll buy an X-Book out of spite now.

So is this three or four? Inhumans gettin' that Guardians push.

It's this, Inhuman (is that still going on post SW?) Uncanny Inhumans, and...that's it right?
