I dearly love how you undercut your own (perfectly valid) arguments with that last 20 seconds - and I'm not being snarky. Not only was it hilarious, but it mirrors how most such discussions go. "Oh, you're just a Star Wars geek. None of that stuff is real and nobody cares. What? No, JANEWAY...

Re: Don't suck. Yeah, I'd have to second you on that. The problem is, as you've pointed out, Warner Brothers has shown no clue in how to produce superhero movies except for the Batman series. I guess that's not surprising. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but of all DC's heroes, Batman...

I think you're missing the point. The whole "dancing" thing is taking place in her head. It isn't real. It's the kind of plot device that a bad author - the author in this case being Babydoll - uses when she doesn't have the imagination necessary to create it for real. They don't show it to...

The Justice League. Am I the only one who thinks it's too early for this? Not every studio has to follow the path Marvel did in leading up to the Avengers, but it would be nice if DC tried it. They might at least learn to make decent movies about someone besides Batman.

So, did you like it, Bob? I couldn't tell.

Don't mince words, Bob. Tell us how you REALLY feel. :)

@octofish - I agree partly - Number of the Beast... would make a terrible movie. Like most of Heinlein's later books, it's WAY too talky. I enjoy that in a book sometimes, but for a movie - no way. I think Glory Road could be well done, though. Yeah, a lot of talking again, but most of it...

I haven't read them in decades, but I loved those books when I was a kid. I was desperately hoping this wouldn't, you know, suck, and it sounds like that wish at least was fulfilled. I'm hoping the back story can be ignored. We'll see.

Thank you, Bob. For what it's worth, I think episodes like this do make a difference.

Would this be a bad time to point out that I was expressing an opinion, and that it's possible for two people of good conscience to have different opinions without either of them being right or wrong, good or bad, or pretty much anything at all? It is a fact that what I've read of comics...

Actually, I only heard about the prequels last week, and fully intend to ignore them. Your comments about the state of the Marvel/DC universe, though, give the principal reason I haven't read comics on any kind of a regular basis since about 1986. Except for a couple of minor "gee, that looks...

Bravissimo! +2 for offhand reference to the Worm Ouroboros.
