Thanks. I'm a pretty gigantic comic nerd(mostly Marvel at this point after the debacle that was Nu-52), and a few of my friends are as well. We've been sitting around since MoS came out trying to figure out why DC can't do it when Marvel can. That was the closest we've come to a solid reason.

I think the major differences between DC and Marvel films is that essentially, no one is telling Marvel what to do. Disney is leaving the studio alone, they're making the films they want to make, and they're not really catering to the comic fan at all. They're essentially, at this point, making genre films with comic

Well, I grew up watching Lynda Carter, and as a little girl I used to play Wonder Woman all the time. I'll go on record as saying no one can match up to her (even though in my adult brain I'd be terrified to watch an episode because there's no way it would be as awesome as child me remembers.)

Vertigo published that, and they were an imprint that was editorially removed from DC, I believe. It was basically there so they could do stories that weren't affected by the Comics Code.

I think once we see how Guardians of the Galaxy does in terms of bank, then we'll see if they start going for the more out there characters. And I don't think Squirrel Girl will get a solo movie, but if they make a Great Lakes Avengers film...oh man, would that be all sorts of fun...

How many giant monkey characters does that make for DC? 4?

All I know is that she was voiced by Gina Torres. If she's in the movie can we get Gina Torres to play her? Cuz put me down to see that.

That's completely untrue, isn't that right Congorilla...

I think I picked a pretty fair battle tbh. First, film adaptations never stick to the original source material—even in Man of Steel, Lois Lane figures out who Superman is basically right off the bat, which kind of throws away, what 20 years(?) of comics.

I'd love to see Avengers 3 end like:

I'm pretty sure that The Avengers movie didn't have the original team members from the comics. If the movie is good, most people won't care about which characters are included.

I want a SG movie so badly, but it'd be hard to suspend belief and imagine her in danger.

Awwh. That bums me out. I'll have to figure out how I (a man) and my wife (a woman) can do something queer with one of OSC's Superman books, take a picture, and then send it to him. Alternately, OSC's Superman books could be used to cover rough edges at ye olde holes of glory.

Who were the original X-Men? Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Angel and Iceman. In the first X-Men film, there was no Angel and Iceman wasn't a founding member, he was a newly recruited student.

Gail Simone gets all the love.

The most recent X-Men movie was a great missed opportunity to have a major superhero movie with a female lead, since in the comic book it was Kitty Pryde—not Wolverine— who traveled back in time and acted as the central figure in the "Days of Future Past" story. But I guess some execs figured that Hugh Jackman is a

DC are always talking about women. Usually right before they make some super shitty changes to female characters. But hey, they were talking about them!

Eh...they're still figuring out how to make a decent Superman movie. I don't really expect DC to shoehorn in a B-level superhero successfully either. The Justice League has shitfestival written all over it: Batfleck, Seaman, that shittastic incarnation of The Green Lantern? I mean these are their A listers...I

Sorry Isha, it's one woman and one minority per movie. People can only deal with so much deviations from the white male norm.

My favorite all girl MARVEL team would be Storm, Marvel Girl, Rogue, Lady Deathstrike, Psylocke, and x 23. Oh and fuck DC.
