I can definitely see the Wall fulfilling a quasi-Nick Fury role in the DC cinematic universe. Have her show up as a recurring, quasi-antagonistic role in BvS and thereafter, hopefully finally culminating in a Suicide Squad movie.

Oh, yes. This. Very much this.

At this point, I'm not even sure that's true, if we're talking about the movies. The current DC cinematic universe has one movie released, and incomplete information about forthcoming productions. Compare the situation now to the situation in, say, late 2008, when Marvel only had the first Iron Man and The Incredible

The problem is that if this DC cinematic universe takes off, I think we've got a pretty good shot of eventually seeing either a Batgirl movie, or at least seeing Batgirl as a character in someone else's film. And since Barbara Gordon is the only incarnation of the character to have any real claim to public

Oh, Guy's all right, in the right context. The key is making it clear that his opinion of himself bears very little actual relationship to a) other people's opinions, and b) his actual talents. Which means he's a very poor choice for a "flagship" character, but ideally suited for an already established and comfortable

Sandman wasn't published by Vertigo until very late in its run, and, as one of the first batch of Vertigo titles, it was never truly editorially removed from the mainstream DCU. A couple of the Endless actually predate Gaiman's series (Destiny being the most notable: he was a supporting Superman character at first).

Did they ever actually publish Orson Scott Card's Superman story? He originally wrote it for one of DC's digital-only books, and I recall it being delayed multiple times in response to the controversy. If they ever did get it out there, they did so pretty much under-the-radar.

I'm going to make a stand and argue that not everything in the DC cinematic universe needs to revolve around the Justice League. Raven should be in a Teen Titans movie: she's probably the most integral character of the best written and most fondly remembered run of that comic, which Warner Bros. has already endangered

Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl is the most "iconic" choice, and I'd agree that makes her the most likely inclusion. Given a choice between her and Black Canary, personally, I'd choose the latter. But both are interesting characters with a good bit of potential, which is rarer than I'd like when it comes to potential female

Hawkwoman seems like the most likely choice, but personally I'd like to see either Vixen or Black Canary. The former because I like the character, and because she was a member of the JLA during the Detroit days, and I have a weird fondness for that oft-neglected and oft-derided era (heck, I'd pay good money to see a

I've always considered faux wood paneling stylish. I bought a faux wood paneling faceplate for my original Xbox 360, and faux wood paneling decals for my PSP. I can't help it that the rest of the world lacks my immaculate sense of style and sophistication.

Er, Nintendo is struggling, though. When the flurry of bad news about Nintendo's profits hit a few months ago, the headlines weren't "Wii U losing money," it was about Nintendo operating at a loss. A continued loss, in fact, since this isn't the first time it's happened.

It's not, though. It's leading the handheld pack, yes, but it's still under-performing Nintendo's sales forecasts. The last round of bad news from Nintendo, when the last profit reports came out, made a point of specifying that both the 3DS and Wii U were doing worse than expectations. Since a company's operation

I seem to recall someone crunching the numbers when the last profit reports came in. Nintendo's in a good position, but they can't coast on previous success forever. Their cash reserves will only last them another three or four years at most.

I loved those comics. They were funny and equal parts self-aware and true to the games.

The fact that the Wii U version will not be getting anything resembling Subspace Emissary is the reason I have basically zero interest in the game. It wasn't perfect by any means, but the cutscenes were adorable, and it ensured that the game had some level of interest for people who like myself who don't really care

True, but while the PS3's initial sales were disappointing, they weren't quite as disastrous as the Wii U's have been. The PS3 performed more like the original Xbox: third to its competitors, but still mostly able to keep its head above water. Plus, Sony was never quite in the same position as Nintendo finds itself

Not until we get the sexy faux wood paneling, damn it.

Is ResidualVM far enough along to play its two games properly now? I may have to take another look at it: I have both Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island running on my current computer, but not without some issues.

You can buy it, yes. Getting it to install and run on modern PCs is another matter. It can be done (I've done it), but it requires a bit of dedication.
