WB rips another one

http://www.newsarama.com/AniShorts/390/Eon.html

It's not Mega Man, honest!
he just has an awesome helmet, awesome enhanced arm, a kid sister, a robot dog, and a mysterious older guy wearing a big scarf. Oh, and he's red!

I wonder if the dog can transform into a hoverboard...

Seriously though, absolute ripoff.

Notes on Robin

Ok, I have a pretty strong feeling who this wierd assassin character in Robin right now really is.

Look at the clues.

Body size - though that really doesn't add up to much in comics
Skills
She's wearing a full face mask.
add apparent knowledge from the most recent issue and something just clicks in my mind.

This is Cassandra Cain.

I hate the fact that if this really is her that she is still being used as generic ninjagirl assassin villain. Then again, I may be way off.

Wonder Woman casting possibility.

Katie Holmes as Wonder Woman.

I have two words:

NO THANKS.

It's not that I dislike her, even if I didn't like her in Batman Begins. It's that her acting ability is kind of...I don't know...flat I guess. She doesn't have enough on screen power to pull off a strong role in my mind, and this is the freaking most powerful female in DC we're talking about.

I know I'm being premptive in my ranting and I admit I haven't seen but the one movie with her in it, but this is just bad casting in my mind.

Still alive!

Yes, I'm still alive. I've been sitting back reading other weblogs, but have not really taken the time to update my own. It's been well over a month and a lot has been going on. So much so I'll do what Kalinara does every one and a while and post things as bullet points.

Comics:
  • Supergirl may finally be enjoayble for the quality rather than horidity. She is not fat. We are not being punished. Say hello to anatomy.
  • Sinestro Corps is very enjoyable, much more so than Countdown is right now. I wish this to be the actual story of Kyle Rayner when it comes to continuity.
  • I hope Countdown picks up speed soon.
  • I am starting to really dislike Jimmy Olsen.
  • I could care less right now about Donna Troy, Kyle Rayner, Jason Todd, and the Atom.
  • I think the Atom is just tagging along for the ride, since he's only there to shrink the group.
  • Monitors can't monitor every Monitor?
  • Guess that's good and bad, since he's the one Monitor actually doing something. Sadly since they can't watch him none of the others can be inspired to leave the recap at the end of Countdown to act as well.
  • Where are the rest of the Anti-Monitors?
  • I do however get a kick out of the Trickster and Piper storyline. It's the only one I look forward to.
  • Grant Morrison writes good Batman.
  • Paul Dini writes great Detective.
  • Filler writers are no where near either's quality.
  • I'm sad that Conan is ending at 50.
  • I'm happy it isn't cancelled. (just a name change/reboot)
  • I am envious of Kalinara (and Ragnell) for attending Wizards in Chicago. I almost made it but had to pull out.

Life:

  • Greatest Story Ever Told is not dead as was previously stated.
  • I had a moment of genius, reworked it, and it does finally work.
  • I have nearly 5 pages inked. Takes a while, but I feel good about it.
  • My novels are sitting at about 140 pages, I think, splashed across 3 books.
  • They are on hold, obviously, but will be finished eventually.
  • Book 1 is nearly halfway finished.
  • I have yet to hear back on job applications.
  • I'm starting to shop around again for employment options.
  • I'm not sure who to send my resume to when trying to apply for "Batman"

Tick-Tock.
