The 1973 versions or the 2010 versions?

I feel like if there's one thing I want to happen during the duration of this series (that I can immediately remember) that stays more or less true to the comic, it's the airport moving walkway bit with Starr. Just because.

They can windsurf to Japan and find their collective father, just like The Toxic Avenger Part II.

I kind of hate how Nick got all buddy-buddy with Celia when she was acting just a biiiiit nutty. And also the poisonings and whatnot. BE SMARTER THAN THAT. But his spot-on admission of how they basically cause everyone they meet to die was amusing. By the time the show ends, assuming Nick's still around, he'll have

Kind of amusing to be able to say "the Simpsons did it" for this because Simpsons Comics had an issue last summer with a story that happened to involve Marge in jail, and it was titled "Yellow is the New Black."

I've assumed any lack of shades throughout the course of the series falls under the category of "major character that usually wears a hat/helmet/mask/glasses/etc. does not do that in this version to avoid covering the person's face/eyes/hair/etc."

They'll be overseen by Maximus the HR Manager.

This is definitely in my group of DC titles I wish was sticking around, along with Midnighter and Justice League 3001. I'd feel tempted to throw Martian Manhunter and The Omega Men in as well, but they were presumably meant as finite stories and not ongoing things, so losing them feels less sucky.

Hopefully it's G'nort!

I only recently got to see all of these a few weeks ago when El Rey marathoned them along with the animated series for Earth Day weekend. Despite having managed to not catch the fourth the whole time in its entirety, I can now say with no doubt in my heart that these are truly the best things ever. Except I still kind

I was getting Farm vibes too. Except for having an apparently nuts pseudo-Hershel. And now Chris being kind of annoying is morphing into being fun! Or maybe it's just the sudden rise in everyone falling into yet another Walking Dead-style pattern of presumed-safety-leading-to-horrible-horrible-doom. And Nick made a

And his name is an anagram for "shanty die oink," too.

That was pretty much one of the main reasons I picked up the Minutemen/Silk Spectre hardcover, along with getting Amanda Conner's art on Silk Spectre.

Well, she IS still trapped there after all. IT'S ALL CONNECTED!!!

Couldn't someone just jam a thing into that space to hold the blue doodad down? Although I suppose the situation also included having to prevent anyone from stopping it from blowing up.

That just made it occur to me that I have no idea what to expect from a newly Vancouver-ized Supergirl as far as the DEO stuff is concerned. Would they just keep reusing the previous establishing shots, or will the DEO suddenly decide it needs to relocate to suspiciously familiar woods?

True dat. I definitely enjoy me some Penguin. Plus Bullock is usually reliably amusing, B.D. Wong has been a solid Hugo Strange, and Nygma went from "ehhhh, okay I guess maybe probably not?" to "alright then!" I just continue to feel the need to be annoyed by how the show seems to go out of its way to mangle aspects

If this has any effect on the effects budget, they can just hide it behind the eternal Vancouver rain. Martian Manhunter + Umbrella = Oh hey J'onn, we didn't notice you… UNDER THAT NOT AT ALL SUSPICIOUSLY LARGE UMBRELLA!

I hope this secretly turns out to be the sequel to Abominable I've been waiting for.

Plus, you helped assemble the current Secret Six! You deserve some sort of trophy.
