I’ll still go to bat (pardon the pun) for Keaton’s RETURNS costume as superior to either of Bale’s.

Meanwhile. . .  is this show set in 2002 or did it take 19 years for the PTSD to make Lowe’s character relocate?

About 20 years ago, a screenwriting professor of mine casually said “Everyone know Mardik Martin really wrote ROCKY” like he was saying water is wet. I’d never heard that before, and haven’t seen a whisper of it since, despite a few internet searches. Considering the number of sites that will happily tell you that…

“He doesn’t know it’s a damn show, he thinks it’s a damn fight!”

Tony Burton as Creed’s trainer (and later sort of Rocky’s) never got a lot to do, but he was SO good with what they gave him. Just utterly believable and watchable.

“Arguably, to many, the live-action JJ: J.K. Simmons. . .”

Once he started to reform, I tried to think what Ben Solo could do if the filmmakers didn’t take the easy/repeat Vader way out and have him sacrifice himself. And then I remembered some pre-release rumors and a notion popped into my head that I still like better than what we got:

Yup. Lady Trieu had some similarities to Veidt that the theory made some sense. But I couldn’t picture Veidt as a parent (absentee or otherwise) or as somone who partook in casual hookups. The show’s answer was at once competely unpredictable and perfectly in character.

Wasn’t there a green flash in Diggle’s eyes as everyone was running to escape at the end of the episode as well?

No kidding. A secondary character from a Disney feature film gets a streaming series. The horror! It’s not like the didn’t do this with, oh, FalconWinterSoldierScarletWitchVisionCassianAndorHawkeye.

Your quote is from an interview about the BEFORE WATCHMEN comics. Moore was being offered money to, basically, be a good soldier like Gibbons and endorse the books being done by other creators.

I think you’re both right:

Or do they look like Jon Osterman (since he seems to be their creator) and Tom Mison is playing Dr. Manhattan as well?

The test is okay. I don’t see Glenn as Dan, but Stevenson would have been a good Comedian, as others are saying. Too damn BIG for Rorschach, if nothing else.*

I think you want everyone to believe in the Space Squids for a while. But if, after averting armageddon, you’re also trying to set up a utopia and you’ve engineered the election of a like-minded President, you might want to clue him in so he can aim budget money at Head Start and reparations and whatever else instead…

Sorry - a good book on the Atlanta Child Murders.

I remember the case from when I was a kid, and found MANHUNTER’s peek into it very interesting. What’s a good book on the subject, in the group’s opinion?

There was also a similar hero in a 1991 FLASH episode. . . a Sandman-esque hero who was secretly African-American.

Well, now we know. Caucausian eye makeup hadn’t even occurred to me - that makes the retcon (if we want to call it that) even more seamless with the original GN.
