An Archie-Punisher-Marvel Zombies crossover would be a swell way to end things.
PDH!

Cyborg and Wonderwoman both being introduced in the same movie? Batman vs. Superman is looking worse and worse :(

Captain America 3 is gonna massacre this

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Cyborg?  Has anyone ever cared about Cyborg?

It really highlights the era in which 90-99% of the marketable DC characters were created, that their choice for tokenism these past few years has been Cyborg.

(Why not John Stewart?  As a non-Hal Jordan, he's by definition a better Green Lantern than Hal Jordan.)

He was good in the Teen Titans cartoon.

Love John Stewart.

I've heard it's an ok show.  Better than Superman and The Legion of Super-Heroes?  I tend to doubt it.  Man, was that show amazing.

Reminds me, I'm deeply suspicious of Guardians of the Galaxy sucking, but I want it to succeed whether it does or not: if it makes a billion dollars, the chances of a LOSH film go from "somehow mathematically less than zero" to "maybe like two percent."

Never seen Legion of Superheros, but Teen Titans was great.

I liked the cartoon where the villains flew around in that giant black helmet looking thing.

Check it out if you ever get the chance.  The character design is basically the best version of the LSH there is (Barry Kitson's revamp of the LSH for Mark Waid back during the Threeboot comes closest, followed by their original Silver Age dugs).  More importantly (maybe), the stuff they do with Brainiac 5 is really great.  (There's a lot of wonderful character stuff, but the most notable change in the transition from the page to the screen is that he's FINALLY been reimagined as a motherfucking robot.  The fact B5 was never changed in the comics, even though Brainiac 1 was retconned as a robot back in like the 70s, is high up on my list of incredibly frustrating things about the real DC universe.)

The most inspiring of origin stories



It would be clever if his real name was Steve Nout:

In this same interlude it doth befall
That I, one Snout by name, present a wall;
And such a wall, as I would have you think,
That had in it a crannied hole or chink,
Through which the lovers, Pyramus and Thisby,
Did whisper often very secretly.
This loam, this rough-cast and this stone doth show
That I am that same wall; the truth is so:
And this the cranny is, right and sinister,
Through which the fearful lovers are to whisper.


-Midsummer Night's Dream; Act V Scene 1
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
