Not as simple as this, but essentially it is like this, DC OWNS Superman, but based on legal 'stuff' (royalities, profit sharing, etc) if Warner doesn't get a film released before a set date, they would be in breach of contract in regards to the contract signed with the families of Superman's creators when Superman…

After the disaster that was Superman Returns, you would thing that Warner would have made sure everything was solid before green-lighting the production of a new film

Sorry, but you're wrong, and you were kind enough to provide the proof yourself, watch the video, then check out the screen cap from Gremlins 2. The Streaker has a 'goatee' and is spotless. The Flasher has spots and 'muttonchop' spikes

But the Wonder Twins were cool enough for Family Guy

No, the 'Flasher' gremlin is from The New Batch. You are confusing him with the 'Streaker' gremlin. Both were, reportedly, the same puppet, which has led to some confusion.

No, like I said, I like crossovers, my real issue is that they are not the 'short, simple, summer event' that they used to be. It was a 'yearly event that lasted for 'bout three months (usually summer). Onslaught is a perfect example, it affected the entire MU, but not every book had a tie-in issue. Another good…

First off, I so want that flasher gremlin. I still laugh so hard at that moment in the film. #correction

I know what people think when you say 'Fox Body', but you do know that '94-04 Mustangs are also part of the Fox platform...

First= Pure hydrogen is a very dangerous and volatile substance, and must be handled with extreme caution.

It wasn't just the Hindenburg, she was simply the one that was unlucky enough to be caught on film for posterity. The R101 disaster cost more lives (48), and the worst was the USS Akron, she took 73 service men with her when she went down. There are multiple instances of ships collapsing under their own weight in…

God! Somebody, please, put that mustang down!

The problem is just the opposite, airships were/are expensive. To fill an airship the size of the Hindenburg today with safe helium gas would be about one million dollars. In 1936 a Atlantic crossing cost $400 for two days of travel. Factoring inflation, it is equal to over $6000 today. An airship about 150 long…

I knew about ghostwriters for popular series, that falls into the 'existing franchise' aspect. I just never considered the possibility that a publisher would be actively farming out / commissioning new series to authors. It seems like they would get enough submissions that they wouldn't need to do this. Guess I was…

While the AoA was a long crossover, it only affected the X-titles.

I know it exists in comics and television, but that falls under the 'existing franchise' aspect. But I have not heard of an author not owning some interest in a book that they write that was not part of an existing series. Makes me wonder how many other authors are in this type of situation that we are unaware of.

I didn't realize that authors still did work for hire. Sure, for existing franchises, but otherwise, I figured this type of thing died out decades ago.

Exactly. I don't have time to figure out who the bad guy in the film is, just make him a foreigner. How do I know which guy is a reformed gang-banger with a heart of gold in that tween drama everyone is talking about . Must be the 'Black'/'Hispanic' guy with the bandanna. Seriously, why spend time developing a…
