Hey man, that time she used game boys to blow up a shitload of kids to make the dead Joker like her isn't canon, it's cool.Ah Harley, there's a role model.
I was reading about this earlier and thought it's a great idea...but please don't slather it in pink, DC. This is also surprising coming from a company that cancelled Young Justice because it was drawing a largely female audience.You know, amid me bitching about Black Widow stuff here, DC goes and does this and you know what, my niece is gonna fucking love this. Especially Bumblebee, since even less common than female super hero stuff, is black female super hero stuff (niece is half Jamaican, half whitey McIrishdaughter).

This was MY immediate thought. If you're going to market Harley to girls, you need to drop the "crazy stalker/abused girlfriend" angle she has in the comics because little girls are going to be sad as hell when they find out about that shit.Ah Harley, there's a role model.

Don't worry, I'm sure by the time DC's done with them, she'll be Pinky Pie in red and black tights.This was MY immediate thought.

God do I miss Oracle. Way to get rid of one of the only prominent disabled super heroes besides Daredevil, DC.This was MY immediate thought.

Also, I kind of wish they were using some of these characters differently: Wonder Woman should be the adult role model/mentor to the girls, along side Barbara Gordon as Oracle. Have Selina Kyle be the darker mentor.
On one hand, her crippling was never meant to be canon, but on the other... yeah, Oracle was awesome. I miss her, too.God do I miss Oracle. Way to get rid of one of the only prominent disabled super heroes besides Daredevil, DC.
I think John Ostrander might dispute that. He essentially created Oracle as the living repository of information we know and love and developed the character for over a year in the pages of Suicide Squad before even revealing that it was Babs. No slam to anything that has been done recently, but that was one of the best planned reveals in DC history and it had the complete support and backing of then DC editorial. While Babara getting crippled in the Killing Joke may not have been intended to be canon... the creation of Oracle absolutely was.On one hand, her crippling was never meant to be canon, but on the other... yeah, Oracle was awesome.

I meant the injuries she received in the Killing Joke leading to her Oracle status, not Oracle herself.I think John Ostrander might dispute that.

Unitl the NU52....
You do realise you just proved Celt Z's point, right?I think John Ostrander might dispute that.

I always wondered why they called Baron Strucker "Baron Strucker" in EMH, but they shortened Baron Zemo to just "Zemo."Daniel Bruhl has confirmed his part in Captain America: Civil War. He will be playing Helmut Zemo, also known as Baron Zemo.

I don't know if that's more funny or sad because it's so on the nose.I guess we're finally getting a Black Widow movie...
Found a mirror, since they didn't let us in Taiwan watch it either.Fucking nbc.
HEY, NBC, you know Lorne Michaels is CANADIAN, right? Let us watch his fucking show.
I know. With how little has been happening with the Hulk aside from his film and the Avengers movies, I was wondering if anyone would come back from his film. Cool to hear this is happening.Whoa, General Ross is back? Damn.
While I'm excited for the movies we're getting, I realized today that phase 3 is going to have a bit more than either other phase.
My concern also. The Captain America movies are among the best of the MCU and I'd hate to see the third one turn into a huge mess.That...sounds awfully crowded to me.
I hope this one doesn't turn into a mess as well. It's the same writing and directing teams as Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so hopefully it maintains the same quality. At best, I figure most of the characters will have small appearances for their part in the division of this conflict, with most of the focus probably being on a few key figures like Cap, Black Panther, and Tony Stark.My concern also. The Captain America movies are among the best of the MCU and I'd hate to see the third one turn into a huge mess.
They've started filming today and Mark Ruffalo says it's still up in the air whether he's going to be in it or not (I'm guessing not, but he still has four or five movies to his contract).
Well, yes. I suspect there's still a fair amount of public distrust about S.H.I.E.L.D. since the reveal in The Winter Soldier, and the collateral damage in Age of Ultron and whatever the next incident is probably won't be stirring any goodwill about the Avengers. With a mixture of those two, I could see some groups pushing for a governing body that's not a part of either force, to serve as an outside and objective controller.So the conflict is going to be because the Shield administered Avengers team lacks government oversight?

I'm pretty sure that's their lead in to Civil War. Like Nick said, I'm sure many of the heroes will be relegated to being soldiers on one side or the other and little more.SHIELD also is not a government sanctioned organization, not anymore. And Agents of Shield has shown that even among the new shield, there is still fracturing and distrust.
