Johnny Sorrow Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I don't see Rocky as Black Adam at all. I could have seen him as Captain Marvel a lot easier. There's sort of a corny charm to Cap and I think he could have modernized that fairly well. There's a gravitas to Black Adam that I'm not sure is within his range.Depends on what version of Black Adam. If they go with the original character who was basically the Scorpion King perverted by power and consumed with hate and revenge, then he's fine. I doubt they're gonna bother with the complicated backstory they gave him in JSA. And add pointy ears and he looks the part perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Cinema Blend on my Facebook feed posited that the best actor to play Shazam, against the Rock, was to cast the Rock in that roll as well. I'm considering unliking Cinema Blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ligerbusa's pictures look like they're from a sega CD game. Was there a cartoon in the '80s called "Battle Beetles"? That Batmobile would be their Optimus Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The Tumbler will always be great and possibly my favorite version of The Batmobile. But THAT? Is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 So apparently the digital-first Arrow comic is going to cover significant shit happening in the five-month gap between the end of season 2 and the start of season 3. I'm torn between being happy they want to actually do something useful with the tie-in and being annoyed as hell that they're stretching that shit out over 24 bi-weekly issues. The accompanying Flash comic is entirely set between the first and second eps of the series, and while the first issue is a perfectly okay little thing, I don't think I'll be sticking with it.

Bustronaut Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The Flash's TV costume is way too red and generic to hold up in a comic book setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WholeFnMachine Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 My complaint about the recent movie Batmobiles is always the same, there is no way you could drive them down a city street, especially a city such as Gotham. You could not turn down any side streets nor could you operate with any stealth whatsoever. They are basically tanks and it's ridiculous. I like it best when it's just a tricked out, armored, badass roadster. Also, they keep putting fucking GUNS on them, even the Keaton version had GUNS, stop with the fucking GUNS. What, it's OK for Batman to use a gun as long as he's not holding it in his HAND? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Your avatar is a way better, more iconic set of wheels. I agree. But you can't destroy Lambeau Field with the Mystery Machine. (inside joke for Brian Fowler) If Batsy can develop shark repellent, he can figure out a way to drive a tank down a narrow street. Because he's the damn Batman! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 As far as the guns go. Sometimes you need a gun or projectile missile to knock down a wall, or blast away a drone or robot or something. Firemen carry axes, but they don't put out fires with them, or kill anyone with them. the guns on the Batmobile are for other purposes than shooting people.

Matt D Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think he should have found a better, more in character way. a BAT-tering ram or something. The guy has an understandable but irrational hatred of guns. It's sort of part of the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Arkham Knight's Batmobile turns into an armored tank with guns and missiles but you will all play it and love it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm kinda surprised by all the pushback on the Batmobile. Even people who love MoS to death were complaining about it today on my twitter timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligerbusa Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 You don't have anyone on your timeline that loves MoS. You'd be tweeting them constantly if they brought it up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 You don't have anyone on your timeline that loves MoS. You'd be tweeting them constantly if they brought it up. When I think about objectivity, one of the first things that comes to mind is who Mike Zeidler follows on Twitter. It's only second to the people whose homepage is freerepublic.com. Also, the Twitter search shows me the exact opposite reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
