People who just want a sadistic, evil warlord who impales others for fun are people who don't know shit about the historical Dracula anyway. The setup for this film comes from actual history. The historical Dracula really did spark war with Sultan Mehmed II by refusing to pay a tax which included 500 Wallachian boys…

I disagree about the "grasping at nothing" statement. Potential conflicts should always be stated or denied within an a Research article. A common practice in many professions.

DC keeps insulting it's fans for the same reason the New 52 isn't any good: they decided to go after a demographic. They decided that their core demographic of single adult men could best be retained while going after a demographic of young men by pursuing the same 90s era "Exxxtreme" comics that worked for them in…

The scary part is, when I read the article (elsewhere) that the shirts had been pulled I found a thread on Twitter (with Gail Simone and others) talking about it and some guy posts,

I'm being serious. DC should have a panel of trained staff to prevent this stuff from happening.

Shouldn't you hold doors open for people, period? If I'm opening a door and someone's behind me I keep that door open, and vice-versa other people do the same for me. It's just polite.

"Every time something like this happens, it's because someone at DC, multiple someones even, looks at these products and thinks 'Yes, there's nothing wrong with this' - and there's something horrifying about that, considering the backlash they come under from the public when things like that happens."

That the company that gave us Wonder Woman (not to mention such other great characters as Donna Troy, Manhunter, Batwoman and Renee Montoya) keeps shooting itself in the foot with female fans like this speaks volumes to why the company can be such a mess.

Umm... Xena was trained by the God of War, can catch arrows has a disorientating attack yell and a magical homing missile circular throwing weapon.

I wonder what caused Homar and Marge to drift apart. Was it her undying faith in the Moon God?

Troll comment: I never saw the relevance nor humor of Pratchet and Gaiman's "writing,"

Don't try to frighten us with your seamstress's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient couture has not helped you cross-stitch the stolen satin bolts, or given you enough clairvoyance to alter the rebels' hidden hemline...

She shouldn't feel too proud of the sartorial terror she has created. It's nothing compared to the tutu of the Force.

Oh, that's one of my favorite movies specifically for the effects! I love Harryhausen's stuff.

Pacific Rim.

That's the great thing about being an idiot: you can claim anything, regardless of how insane or inane it sounds to others, with a straight face.

Oh Jesus, I love it when you let go and come brawl with the rest of us rabble in the comment pits.

It always amuses me to point out that Charlize Theron, among many others, is technically African- american, as she was born in South africa and emigrated to the USA.
