That reminds me of something that happened to me in Morrowind back in the day. I had stashed some gear in a chest in the Fighter's Guild, because storage space is so hard to come by. When I came back later and tried to pull just my own stuff out, they treated it as theft. I really wanted to get my stuff, though,…

Or did you forget that we were talking about making comics accessible to new readers?

You can either reread my previous post or continue to be lost, because at this point you're choosing to be ignorant of what I'm saying.

The "period of wandering" is from the comics. John Byrne's Man of Steel revamp in 1986, IIRC.

- First, in general, killing isn't always bad. It's the context that really applies to the sitaution. Killing someone to protect someone isn't generally seen as bad. Any war that's fought is generally viewed depending on the situation at hand: WWII isn't seen as bad as say Vietnam. We're a culture where violence…

I'd say they were adapting the old Adam West TV series.

Superman shouldn't kill, and now because of MOS he knows why he shouldn't kill.

hmm... I can't see how they could have ever realistically restarted from scratch without alienating a couple generations worth of fans.

I tried, but I couldn't even get through a single minute of that clip. For an actor who's usually so good at subtlety, Spacey just did way too much yelling in that movie. Completely removed all the menace, because it just made it look like he was trying too hard.

I guess we went into the "reboot" expecting different things. You expected them to trash everything from the last 70 years (if I understand you correctly).

However, like I said, it's not that difficult to figure out what happened before. In Batgirl's case it's mentioned several times that the Joker shot her through the spine. A quick google search informs you that, to get that story, you can pick up the Batman: The Killing Joke trade.

Thank you for this, i always feel alone in wondering why people think she's so attractive. I just can't see it.

And Raph is almost a warrior. There's no technology just things to protect his legs and give him the silhouette of, like, a samurai.

We can complain all we want but unless enough of us resist the urge to go see it opening weekend, the producers will win and DC fans will will be the losers.

You can't see my penis, can you?

I had read some previous stuff but the decades of history that I had missed out on for the simple reason that I wasn't born yet made the idea of trying to dive into comics very daunting (I'm the type of person who has to watch even sitcoms in order so the idea of starting comics on issue 782 hurt my brain).

SHHH!!! You're not supposed to point any of that out!

I'm not making a binary distinction. I'm making the point that so-called "grimdark" a) has an audience and b) can be done well.

If I felt like giving Snyder any credit, I'd presume that Ozy's movie costume was an intentional parody of other ridiculous superhero movie costumes, in the same way that some elements of the Watchmen book riffed on tropes and concepts of the normal superhero comics. But it just doesn't fit, not for the character who…

My argument is about not alienating an audience by having them think your movie genre is childish.
