All movies are made for the cash, but at least Batman has a point beyond that in setting up the Justice League.

I kind of do as well, but i also actually want them to make these movies. More than anything, I would like it if the Justice League movie was just as good as the Avengers.

Well actually more than anything I'd like a goddamn Wonder Woman movie for ****s sake she isn't that hard to do.

The Avengers was no small feat in terms of movie making. Trying to emulate it does not sound like it will go well. The Avengers idea ran a risk of killing the characters for quite a while(imagine if you will the idea of Thor just being a critical disaster like Green Lantern). Such a project takes an extreme amount of care and Avengers was very lucky to have turned out so well.

Yeah Drax the destroyer and Rocket Racoon will be in an upcoming movie, yet Wonder woman is still stuck in animation. SMH

It's just so stupid. It's not like you can't do a good superheroine. Hit Girl was ****ing awesome and Black Widow and Catwoman surprised me with how well done they were. It's not impossible.

I agree, and it'll be a miracle if lightning strikes twice. I'm not going to hold out much hope for their success.

But I can't say that I want them to fail. I want to see some kick-ass movies about DC characters just as much as I do about Marvel ones. Like a Young Justice or a Question movie. I do want them to be able to make some of these movies.

Honestly, I've been spoiled by the Justice League cartoon movie, where the founded the League. I don't remember it because it has been ages since I watched it but it was good enough that it made me want to watch the show.

I wouldn't say Black Widow was done especially well. Cat Woman either, but she did come across better imho.

Black Widow seemed to mostly be Scarlet Johansson being extremely sexy all movie. That said... Damn.

People like stuff about greek gods and shit, so they'd have that angle already. And just have to use one of her better costumes and ditch the invisible jet which isn't a huge deal anyway.

She did?

The first thing he did when he got on the Helicarrier is spell out his intentions to upset the Hulk. haermm If anything, I think he was incredulous that she thought she was clever for figuring out his plan. 😐

Definately disagree. BW was my favourite character from the movie. A strong very performance imo.

They can't use the corset imo. I'd just do something like this:

Give her some armor to cover her up a bit more, maybe a breastplate and you're solid. But I'd definately go more for the Greek armored look than the stupid costume she's always worn.

Yeah that'd work.

What are your thoughts on the Guardians of the Galaxy movie?

I don't know anything about the Guardians of the Galaxy outside of their appearance on EMH. The talking Raccoon is cool though.

I'm just looking forward to hopefully a badass Thanos vs Drax fight since their arch enemies in the comics. Although obviously Drax will lose so Avengers 2 can happen.

i'm sure this exact moment will happen

We can only hope, godayum.

Christ the guys over at Naruto Forums have a hardon for Holmes and Poirot.

Apparently finding a killer who can kill with heart attacks remotely from anywhere in the world without leaving any evidence is childs play to them.

I really like the living statue theme of this design. IIRC, Wonder Woman was sculpted from clay; Greek statues expressed the ideals of their culture, and by being one she's pretty much a living symbol even before her actions are taken into account.

That and the stone looks amazing. I might like it if she did look more human as an everyday thing, even if it was painted on, just so battle damage could chip it off and make her more statue-like as she fought. And the lasso has to stay.

By Jove, I love those shows.

Nah, we're talking classic Holmes.

Oh. Well, I don't think it's possible for any human being to catch such a killer, unless there is a very obvious pattern and relations. Getting a conviction would be a whole different story yet.

Well the way the guy was found in the story he appeared in was that the detective noticed that he'd done a practice kill on a kidnapper he found on TV. Ah, and btw the killer only kills other murderers, mostly in prison, which is a clear pattern at least. From there he called the killer out on TV to kill him, which he did, only to reveal that the guy he killed wasn't him and they had only aired in the Kanto region of Japan (with the idea to continue through the rest of the world), which he chose because of that first practice kill. From there he narrowed it down to people connected to the police based on the killers actions, and a student based on the time of day he killed. Then he had all the police officers in Kanto's family's tailed until the killer kind of messed up.

But he lost to the killer in the end though, lol.

However, this relies heavily on familiarity with technology, which neither Holmes or Poirot are familiar with, so I don't see them replicating it.
