Since comic’s Silver Age, Kryptonian naming conventions have been prettY much unchanged in this regard. Family names follow a patriarchal standard, but with a key difference between male children and female offspring. Male children are given the father’s surname as an appendage to their given name; thus Kal-El is the…

You really deserve to be un-greyed for a thoughtful smart piece like this. Thanks!

You are absolutely correct about the Ferris/Kord parallel, and I hope your feelings about next season are right.

Ah. There’s why you’re confused. There is NO connection between TV Supergirl and Movie Superman. None at all.

WooMaster was talking about crossovers with Arrow/Flash. Not crossovers with the DCCU. Your quoted text doesn’t refer to the potential fit to the Arrowverse at all.

It looks incredibly fun to me. What is wrong with most you? Did it need more neck-snapping? More screams of anguish? Not enough bystanders callously tossed into harm’s way?

I’m with you. I was stunned actually to learn that people couldn’t see that was what happened. An interesting twist to this though, is that Azzarello is apparently on our team as well. This comic by him spells out the plot THE KILLING JOKE pretty much in key:

This could have been a very interesting book. Azzarello at least recognizes that the Batman killed the Joker at the end of the story.

Seeing as how the fall will see the new Supergirl series and the new Robin/Nightwing starring Titans series, both of which have a pretty good chance of being a part of the Arrowverse, ( John W Shipp let it slip in a recent Q&A that Supergirl will be connected, and much speculation that Colton Haynes will continue as…

That is NOT how you pronounce “plus ultra”. Especially weird considering 50% of the founders of the group were French.

... well... bad means bad, and ass is where the the shit comes out.

I love you right now.
Even weeks after I left the theatre I would well up in tears . As a Canadian I would look south and wonder what it means that so many would embrace a vision of their country’s greatest hero as a rootless, neck-snapping Nietzschean nightmare. Sociologically, there is something very chilling about…

Is that what they're called in the States? Up here we call them Twizzlers, and I assumed they chose them for the resonance the name has for Trickster. Hmm , since it's filmed in Vancouver, I suppose I could still be correct, but it's a reference it's larger US audience wouldn't get.

The “and now we know he’s just evil” thing .. . I wonder. If the mimicry techno Thawne employed is so complete on a cellular level that he acquires Wells's brilliant genius, them his memories and personality might have been duplicated as well. I don't know, the kindness he shows sometimes seems so real, I just WANT to…

Don’t believe it. The character of Harley and her dynamic with the Joker is so obviously a repeat of Prank and her insane attachment to the Trickster on the 90s Flash that there can be no denying it. I know that Timm claims Eileen’s performance on her Soap is the inspiration for Harley, but I don't believe he is being…

The word is "cosy" , not "koozy". although there may be a brand of them by that name. It is a re-purposing from the term " tea cosy" which is an insulating cover one puts over a pot of tea. I have a few folks use the the koozy word but most don't.

but it's never explained why the host is dressed as Jor-El.

So if Iraq or Afghanistan had blown away Bush 44 in 2002 you would have been good to go with it?

no one has said, "fuck off, asshole!" to you yet, so I guess that's my job. Why is someone with such a backwards mental ability even on a Science Fiction site?
