This is rough, I agree and it was great to have Oracle as a character and see her journey but I also felt her treatment was a double standard. Bruce Wayne's broken back lasted a year, Superman came back from the dead, Spider-Man's godawful Clone Saga was reversed in short order. I can't help but feel she was treated…

Not to mention an inspiration and a relatable char for people with reduced mobility. She basically was DC version of Xavier then in terms of leadership and representation.

I can agree with this. While Babs is always my Batgirl at heart, I love Stephanie Brown. Also, Oracle was a beast. A well-rounded character who overcame a lot in her days. I also hate the "reimagining" of Barbara lately. It's like they de-aged her 10 years, took away all of her experiences with the top tier of…

Why? because they made Starfire exactly how she's always been? Starfire has always been a sexed-up free love character. She's alien and therefore doesn't conform to conservative western ideals. To her people, they view love as being for and given to everyone - physical more than emotional. That's been a tenant of her…

As Oracle, Barbara was truly unique, the first "information age" heroine, fighting crime with her brain and computer skills, a heroine created before the dawn of the internet really took off. She became defined as more than just "female" Batman, she created the Birds of Prey herself and lead them, and she refused to…

Wow...you must be a huge Marvel fanboy if you don't recognize half the crap that Marvel has attempted. Just a brief check list of things that shook up the foundation of Marvel -

Anyone who reads Marvel or DC with the mindset their they are emotionally invested in the characters and are building a coherent history with their favorite superheroes, is a chump. Continuity is a complete and utter joke to the two big players in the industry. They care about continuity only so far as your loyalty…

Personally, it was the end of Oracle that really did it for me. I feel like Barbara Gordon is a much more generic character now. They've basically made her a redheaded Stephanie Brown.

Still seems to me that the whole thing was pushed on DC by Warner Bros for a big boost in sales. DC had just done that big "Brightest Day" thing with stuff like setting up a new Justice Leauge International, obvious how they had plotlines for so many other books and such and to have it all thrown out seemed crazy.…

It's hard not to read DC's dependence on the various changes and reboots—which come with increasing frequency— as a foundering lack of direction by its editors and a loss of confidence in its creators . Somewhere, close to the top of its pecking order, decision-makers are steering by editorial fiat, insisting that…

I admit, the ONLY book from the New 52 that I felt was "improved" with the reboot was Aquaman (and that's only because Geoff Johns was a good writer).

And somewhere in its web of multiverses and precisely zero mainstream reboots, Marvel is laughing.

Done.

They have all of the appropriate animations for the villain?!

Never has a reference pose made a character look so free and uncaring.

Yet, somehow, every other word of his seems to be pronounced just like the Americans spell it. That's an odd coincidence, don't you think?

Can he not pronounce "fuck"? Or can Solotaroff not spell it? I don't think Statham deserves that level of coyness. It's incongruent with his image.

I think he also admits that when he says that Guy Ritchie gave him the only acting lesson he ever received

Good point. I think a great actor can be great no matter what the scenery. Like, I think Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman are all great actors and their performances didn't suffer at all with the Prequel's Green Screenery.

I always prefer if it's done for real rather than green screen or CGI, I know nothing about the craft of acting and I love Statham but isn't he kind of admitting that he's not a great actor if he can only do it one certain way?
