Well, that's pretty much what had to happen when they decided to make Harley Quinn a hero, rather than just a member of Batman's rogues gallery… a move so perplexing it STILL boggles my mind. This is the same sh*t that happened when Venom became a hero… and Red Hood… and even Catwoman.

Maybe when there's something worth reporting, they'll report it. Right now it's just a bunch of vague statements from Geoff Johns, a teaser image, and a list of book titles with no creative teams.

I guess I'm just from exactly the wrong generation for this sentiment, because I've seen a lot of anti-Johns Titans comments on A.V. Club… and I can't agree with any of it, because Geoff Johns was the guy who got me into the Teen Titans in the FIRST place.

Well, the fact that he had dark skin and blonde hair is kind of what MADE him "ethnically ambiguous".

I can live with a hobo-beard. It worked for Bruce Wayne in The Dark Knight Rises.

Then maybe they could just… oh, I don't know… shoot him in the arms and legs, or in the spine, or freeze his extremities, or have Ray shrink down into his tearduct and give him a mild stroke, or any NUMBER of potentially non-fatal ways this team could EASILY incapacitate the normal human guy with no powers, save for

I was honestly just wondering why Rip didn't just shoot him in the head as soon as he got the drop on him. There's no reason to hesitate, Rip— he's just gonna get up again a couple of hours later. Think of your revolver as a stun-gun.

… And then he didn't bother to gather Savage's remains and detain him on the ship. An action that would have immediately saved the future by removing Savage from the timeline from 1986 onward.

I'm about 89% certain that "black Green Arrow" is supposed to be Connor Hawke. Comic book Hawke was supposed to be somewhat ethnically ambiguous— his mother was half-black and half-Korean, and his dad was Oliver Queen; looks like they decided to remove the ambiguity for the show.

Agreed. A superhero without a story is a pretty f%$#ing dull thing. Just look at '90s-era Image Comics.

Wow. Holy sh*t. Doug and company sound like a gaggle of dicks.

It's funny, but Nostalgia Critic actually hasn't been a "YouTube fixture" for years. That is, until Blip TV (his chosen video player and the primary player for most of the other critics on ChannelAwesome.com) shut down— leaving him no choice but to shift his extensive catalogue of reviews back onto YouTube.

So Zoom is actually the Rival, Jay's own "Reverse-Flash" from the comic books?

I, uh, think that was a joke.

Terminator Salvation: the movie that assumed everyone was really fascinated by John Connor… and then built an entire story revolving around him where he wasn't even the main character. Dude was the goddamn MacGuffin.

Yeah, the concept behind the movie is sound enough… but I just feel like they're jumping the gun with this whole cinematic universe. One solo movie, and then right into the big crossover? Kinda reeks of desperation. And it doesn't help that the one solo film was drastically underdeveloped… and that the big crossover

I KNEW someone would bring up Joel Schumacher! But I would argue that the fight scenes in Batman Forever were more exciting than the ones in Batman or Batman Returns, so even SCHUMACHER could do it at least SOME of the time.

True. But by that logic, they might as well make nothing but Batman movies, because why both with any other characters at all when Batman is their proven moneymaker?

I'll have you know I haven't been saving up ANY anger about this movie— every time some new promotional material or interview is released that foregrounds Batman and how awesome he is over Superman, I explode all over again.

Oh, great. So this whole trailer was basically put together to show just how goddamned awesome Batman is. (Mission accomplished, BTW.)
