Well, technically speaking, Ash DID kill Henrietta, Ruby's mom— he just did it after she had transformed into a Deadite. And while Ash didn't kill Annie, his severed hand did, which would mean all forensic evidence would point to Ash as the culprit.

Uhhh… Watchmen wasn't just considered unfilmable because of the required CGI. Watchmen was considered unfilmable because of the complexity of the narrative and the difficulty in condensing the whole thing down into a two-hour-long movie. Take away too much, and you lose the underlying point of the whole story.

"Finally, women will have a shitty comic book movie of their very own. Progress!"

"The '66 Batman movie was awesome by the way."

Well, if you want to get THAT pedantic, Superman technically got a movie way back in 1951 (with the theatrically-released "Superman and the Mole Men").

F%$#ing finally.

Sounds like you're talking about Batman Begins— which was roundly called out for having choppy, incomprehensible fight sequences.

Oh, I'm sure they can turn it into a superpower down the line. Maybe she'll get struck by lightning while she's using the Cry, and the power will get transfered to her own voice. That's how science works, right?

I'm actually a pretty big fan of the Canary Cry, too. There's something endearingly corny about how into it Katie Cassidy is when she does the Cry— like a kid playing pretend on a huge scale. She OWNS it, in all its goofy glory.

Eh… I thought they lacked energy and dynamism, too, but my qualms were entirely from a filmmaking standpoint. The lighting (by necessity) was more flat and dull in the long-take shots, and the cinematography took a harsh turn, with more video noise and a slightly off framerate; it's like they shot the long takes on…

The problem with Ra's al Ghul was that they had to make him this important, regal figure to match his position of prestige in the DCU. He's one of DC's biggest bads… Oliver fighting him had to be a Big Deal.

Being the extraordinary dork that I am, I always tried to come up with actors who could have played the parts around the time Star Wars sequels would presumably been made, had they continued on telling stories with Luke, Han, and Leia. So my picks come from around 1984-1986. Also, I tried to keep in mind the talent…

Betcha a hundred bucks that his "death" is connected to Hank Henshaw transforming himself into the Cyborg Superman. (Danvers knows everything there is to know about Superman's physiology, after all… it CAN'T be a coincidence that that was his bargaining chip with Henshaw.)

The Phantom Menace was the first Star Wars movie I ever saw. I was thirteen, I watched it in the theater, and I didn't get what all the fuss was about. Bored me to death. Went ahead and saw Attack of the Clones in the theater three years later, and it somehow made even LESS of an impression on me.

"As someone who loves movies, though, it’s terribly depressing to think of Star Wars fans who derive more joy from repeating “it’s so dense” and smug Screenwriting 101 bromides about Phantom Menace lacking a main character than actually, you know, watching Star Wars movies."

That moment was pure freaking gold. I also loved the follow-up between Ash and the dad:

But seriously… seeing Matt Ryan's incomparable John Constantine pop up on a damned entertaining episode of "Arrow" is almost enough to take the sting out of "Constantine" flicking out so early. Almost.

I guess I'm a bigger geek than I realized, but when I noticed that Curtis' gym jacket had the words "FAIR PLAY" scrawled along his right arm, I squealed like a little girl.

Well, I feel like a serious tone COULD work in a Superman movie… if it were balanced by likable characters and some decent comic relief, and if Superman were presented as a COUNTERPOINT to the grimness of the story itself.

I'm not gonna lie: as a Superman fan, this pilot resonated with me better than any live-action Superman project from the past two decades.
