The "Can I fly?" exchange is so great. I never forgot it!

Okay, so I work at an all-news AM radio station. Back in 2006, Haysbert was doing press for The Unit and came to us to do an interview. I got to sit in on it, and as they were prepping, I more or less geeked out on him. I told him how much I loved him as Palmer on 24, but I also mentioned I really enjoyed him as Dr.…
Finished the season, and it feels like I just watched a really strange indie dramedy. The second half of the series is miles ahead of the first.
Ironically, it really starts to pick up with episode 7. That and the following episode are a serious one-two emotional gut punch.
This list is missing "Highlander: The Animated Series."
I'm really interested in seeing the viewership figures on Marvel's upcoming Agent Carter and Jessica Jones TV series, and whether or not those numbers finally force Feige to shit or get off the pot.
That's a good point, the surprise factor. I don't know if I'd say most depictions of Ra's lean Caucasian. The animated series and a lot of his original comics appearances certainly seem to portray him as a man of obvious Middle Eastern descent. I forgot about Talia's mother though—I'll give you that one.
I'm surprised you mentioned Tom Hardy as Bane but forgot the rest of the trilogy, with Ken Watanabe as fake Ra's al Ghul, Liam Neeson as real Ra's al Ghul (though originally under the alias Henri Ducard) and Marion Cotillard as Talia al Ghul (posing as "Miranda Tate").
I was actually thinking Milla Donovan too.
Yeah, I think we missed out on something that could have been really good. But Tim Story, he really knock—he really kn-kn—haha…pardon me. He really knocked it out of the par—HAHAHAHAHA, I'm sorry! I couldn't say that with anything close to a straight face. Yeah, he really whiffed that one.
If they still are, it'll take me some time to find them, but in the meantime, here's an interview with the original screenwriter on what he and Reed had planned: http://www.mtv.com/news/145…
Peyton Reed was the guy Fox hired to direct Fantastic Four originally. He was coming off Down With Love, and the leaked designs indicated he was going to take that retro-'60s style and apply it to FF. But then he left the project, Tim Story came along, and it all just went to hell.
It's not especially graphic, just a mildly disturbing reminder of that time Geoff Johns wrote Avengers and wasn't very good at it.
Some of the Golden Age Superman material is worth checking out. The Superman: The Dailies collection takes the first few years of the daily newspaper strip, and a lot of the stories are really quite fast-paced and fun.
Count me in as a Byrne reboot fan. That's also how I got into Superman, aside from Christopher Reeve. My mother gave me a copy of the trade one Christmas when I was just a little kid, and I absolutely loved the hell out of it. I was a Superman diehard from then on.
It did get markedly better after Roberson took over. There's an issue featuring the Superman Squad that is pretty wonderful. There's another part after that where Clark and the recently returned Bruce meet up and reminisce over the first time they actually met, in Nanda Parbat, before either took on their costumed…
Undertaker's ring entrance is my new favorite 'Mania entrance. The zombies were a great touch.
Cena was an amazing heel back in 2003. Now he's…well, he's kind of a weird performance art piece.
