The Natural

You'll either really like or really won't like this news. I sure do. Happy Grant Morrison's returning and we're getting a Batman of Zurr-En-Arrh story. I'm hoping we get Batman #666 and Dick Grayson as Batman stories. Any others?

Best pull apart brawl I've seen in ages with The Undertaker/Brock Lesnar, no commentary was a bonus as well. Physique wise 'Taker looks better than he did at WrestleMania XXX.

Here’s my ranking of the Marvel Studios films which now has two new additions: 1. Avengers Assemble (2012) 2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) 3. Iron Man (2008) 4. Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) 5. Ant-Man (2015) 6. Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) 7. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) 8. Thor (2011) 9. Thor: The Dark World (2013) 10. Iron Man 3 (2013) 11. Iron Man 2 (2010) 12. The Incredible Hulk (2008)

I bought GamesMaster for the Batman: Arkham Knight review knowing the scores of the two other Rocksteady entries. Batman: Arkham Knight scored 90%. Main criticism of the game is the Batmobile. “It might sound a little cynical, but the best reason to throw points at your wheels is because these sections and generally the most tedious that the game forces you to interact with. The better the Batmobile, the faster you can power your way through them, and get back to the good stuff.” Batman: Arkham Asylum scored 96%. Batman: Arkham City 97%.

Batman: Arkham Asylum handled the Riddler trophies best with 240. Rocksteady went overboard with them in Arkham City, 440. I managed to do them all in both games.

Just nipped on the library computers/internet to submit this post. I watched Ant-Man last night with my Dad and add another voice to the choir here enjoying Ant-Man more than Avengers: Age of Ultron. My Dad did as well. Origin stories in comic books and comic book films have always been a favourite of mine. I also have an interest in comic books when the mentee replaces the mentor either if the latter is alive or dead. Ant-Man appealed to me ticking those boxes. Ant-Man is also a superhero heist movie. Like Big Fresh, I noticed those two scenes from the trailer weren't in the final film. I can understand what Buy Me a Burrito means about the Ant-Man/Iron Man plot similarities. I was thinking the same thing but still liked the film. Shame about the Edgar Wright and Marvel Studios fallout.

Terrific Triple Threat match turning into Rusev vs. Cesaro. One of the best matches this year.

Breaking news this morning is Carl Froch has announced his retirement. Always tried to watch Froch's fights. What a record and career.

Very quotable trailer but that dialogue exchange stood out: "Twenty years in Gotham, how many good guys are left? How many stayed that way?" Surely Dick isn't dead for the reasons I'd given earlier and instead of Jason Todd returning as the Red Hood, I think I'd prefer him stay dead. The loss of Bruce's parents and Todd's Robin are Bruce's main tragedies as a result of crime.

You're better off. I thought it was turr-ible (yes, it was so bad I refuse to spell the word right. If it had been better, then it could be "terrible". In agreement with Bill.

Claudio Raineri new Leicester City manager. Didn't see that coming. Tinkerman back in the Premier League.

That's pretty much what seems to be the case. Cheers pal. Shit's on now, Supes ; )

Wonder Woman finally in a live action movie!

I have a theory I forgot to post when I watched the trailer for the first time...You know when the big building is coming down and Bruce Wayne runs to rescue the child? I wonder if that's from the Supes vs. Zod fight from Man of Steel.

Zack Snyder's got a great eye for the visuals and costumes.

Seeing the above made me seek this out: Rare exception for a video in this thread as you really need to hear it: Thank You 'Taker.

Fuckin' Anderson/Kennedy...

Fair enough. Glad you got round to seeing it.

I was thinking back to the alternate Batsuits in Batman: Arkham City. Rocksteady picked The Dark Knight Returns Batsuit from the last two issues without the oval. By picking that you can use it as the Batsuit from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). What struck me today is that I'm surprised the armoured version in the comic/film hasn't been used as an alternate skin.
