Interesting voice line up, not overkeen on the simplified, stylised designs. The short adventure length works well for TTG, be interesting to see how it works here.

The attention to detail is pretty stunning, more so than under Lucas' command. Tiny things. The hilt in that clip looked like the one of Anakin Luke lost at Bespin. (Un)Interestingly, it has a D clip belt loop like it had in that film - something it didn't have (if its the same saber) when the...

My feeling always was Bruce was a stubborn man (really? Bruce?), and his crusades were on his agendas, no one elses. His road is quite specific, and his moral code even more so. I personally felt (and I agree with you) while there is an identity collision between the Spectre and Batman on some...

Like the suit. Like how the cowl and cape match in material. I think the short ears is effective and a good nod to the Dark Knight Returns - I never once thought Adam West. I approve.

Could you be more specific - not sure I know what image you refer to. Sorry to be a bit blank on this. We did do a Nightwing Beyond approach to the news-strip. There might have been one of Kris' Nightwing mock ups posted at some point, but not sure!

Well as has been highlighted here, if your agenda is to strike fear into criminals, you will naturally strike fear period. Criminals are a hardened lot, so for them to be scared you've got to be very scary, so logically the common person will be largely unseated about the vigilante, even if he...

A bit of in-house showcasing here. This comic was written and drawn by myself with colours and letters by Kris Trigwell. To cut a long story short, this was commissioned by a French comics trade magazine on the premise of including a licensed strip in the middle section. We wrote and finished...

It looks good! Stylised sword I'd happily pretend-stab people with!

That sword looks like the Sword of Omens!

Not sure liberal messages are a bad thing. True liberalism looks at equality or at least an approach of empathy where society itself naturally tends to be fearful and largely self serving (we are creatures of territory after all). Stories generally edge towards liberalism as liberalism is about...

I think the biggest reason is nothing to do with how they fared in comics, but how the initial team was built from similar building blocks to the Fantastic Four, a dynamic that has had questionable success on screen. Iceman is the young Torch hothead, Cyclops and Beast share our the Read...

I think there is a risk. The squee brigade isn't relegating to a faction of fans, it's a larger casual movement - people like eye candy and for a lot of new viewers, proportionally far greater in numbers than fandom, there is now a natural acceptance that a Doctor has a certain youthful...

Depends on the direction of the show. If the show wants to take a break - something that I believe has been considered of late (as it was back at the end of series 4), you could have this as his last regeneration, and give the show a coda with perhaps some open ended note. More likely, given the...

It feels its time for the show to move on and away from Moffat. I think the South Parkisms have diluted. While I adored Girl From Tomorrow, too many deaths, too many revivals. I think Moffat's played all his cards really. Silence were a great monster, Angels have been weakened somewhat through...

I liked it. Yes the third act seemed out of sorts, we'd gone through the whole movie with no mad monsters and so Silver Samuari just felt ill-fitting. Beyond that, I enjoyed it. The end reveal didn't surprise, but I don't think it mattered. The tone felt right, the trip to Japan good for the...

I'd certainly agree that I think the mini-series was a very mixed affair for RTD. Water of Mars and End of Time were great for me, Planet of the Death and The Next Doctor bored me frankly. I'd also say Moffat's most recent series has learned from its past and seems the strongest yet by far...

It was however an original concept, and a concept done on little time and little budget. One thing I'll credit him for, if he was dismissive about the show he did put his money where his mouth is and shown the world how he thinks it should be done. Is it the best? I really couldn't say it is...

Some call it ego, some call it a writer with the sense to stay looking forward, but I'd be very surprised if Moffat does any deep delving. I think my concern is how much he rewrites or redefines Doctor Who to his vision. River Song following and knowing all the Doctors, then being his wife - a...

Re Hurt, how I see it.

It's funny - and its not SDCC fault - but it has become a bit of a ridiculous relevant to entertainment. It's got to the point where the industry seems fixated on Comic Con for the simple fact the industry is fixated on Comic Con. If you're not doing an exclusive at SDCC then you have no...

Yes I remember that! We had that DKA bit where he's thrown down a ravine in the Batcave and gets washed up in some eddie and found by Poison Ivy. So in our world, to some degree, and I don't THINK its been contradicted, the DKA issue where he plummets is the last he's seen until Batman Beyond. I...

Better memory than me! Yeah I remember some -oh balls- moments. Yes I think you're right on Supergirl. Yes you are lol. Really should have kept those old emails. There were a lot of discussions on continuity so it's nice to see someone try and fit it in because we were doing just that. I...

Sorry to bump, but this fascinated me (having written 90% and drawn 80% of the World's Finest "Dark Knight Adventures" comics here when I was a college boy) seeing the whole timeline with the kind insertion of our humble work, is, well, very humbling and fascinating. To be honest, I don't...

I have several issues with this movie. :p First off, the intro, bloody Krypton again. Honestly, origins will be the death of the superhero genre. Fans will know the basic backstory, casual watchers won't care - and the whole background is explained in ornate rather smart visuals in the second...

I don't entirely agree. This is a 50th anniversary of one of Britain's biggest institutions, and I think this is the one year where the show's past should be as important, if not more so, as its future. Doctor Who is a progressive show and I would always put going forward to looking back as its...

I'm not sure I entirely agree, but do agree in some other ways :). Moffat, for all his failings in Doctor Who that I would raise, is a massive Doctor Who fan. I don't think for a second he didn't want to do the 50th, but he's also a very proud writer and I think there's very much a need to do...

I think the potential missing episodes is a serendipitous event, I don't think one can say "the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who was planned to be a great spectacular thanks to good luck landing a load of material on the BBCs doorstep for the 50th year". The bottomline to me as I regularly...

Well invariably the film would cherry pick a good Ventriloquist era. The comment about him being a "secondary villain" - I can see the logic, though I'd like superhero films to cut that notion out. Films tend to run antagonist vs protagonist, and why Superhero films try to wedge a third party...

Ventriloquist. He's very Batman, without being a repeat of all the foes we've seen on the big screen. A down-to-earth notion, a crime boss, with a quirk. I think that could keep a Batman film grounded in Gotham crime without seeming absurd and "superhero-focused" and wouldn't require an origin...

Lol bless you. We must be getting better, as we're getting a lot of love for these. That's always nice. People don't always react well to change, it's in our nature!

Yeah, currently using PS CS6. Good if expensive tool. :) Yeah made sense the new show took priority but we never forgot DCAU's roots, especially in context to the WF website!

Nor can I actually. I did this before popping back to this forum (it's been a couple of years!) and realised what we had was pretty cool anyhow. :) All I will say is between myself and Jim there's always a battle between what 80s cartoon I can slip in there. Amazing Friends and Hulk are always a...

We spent a fair time on this. The Marvel one came together very quickly for the Marvel Animation board's new background. As Jim says, it was key for both of us that BTAS was represented - and Batman Beyond, because that show seems to have a personal affection for both of us. I wanted to have...

Great thread still! I love some of the newer stuff, the take on the Rogue / Ms Marvel cover was great (yes, I own that issue when it came out and loved Jim Lee's take on Rogue). Neat, crisp work my friend!

I suppose its all comparatives. If Empire Strikes Back wasn't the direct comparison, ROTJ would have a less bruised rep and be one of those cool 80s movies you love to watch on a Sunday.

One writer who I would very much recommend people here follow, a lovely friend of mine called John Kenneth Muir, postulated in his article one of the biggest drawbacks of this film is the site to site transport, or rather the sheer distance it can carry, and how that to some extent actually...

Jedi is really a bit of a naff film. It feels like a meal made from left overs. There's no real soul to it sadly, though Hamil does his very best to give it one, bless, and does a good job for his part. It was the first example of where Lucas really had too much power and was surfing the...

Hard to say... Gary Mitchell has potential... sort of had NOMAD in the Motion Picture... the wonderful Squire was remodelled as Q really... the problem is much of the original series was less about the character antagonist, but the situation or social archetype. A lot have been done with the TV...

Yes, I liked that little name drop. I don't mind nice flippant Trek gags. I think its a bit much to build a story around them. I do have to say I did very much enjoy the film, for all my niggles!

Doesn't seem the best way to write a new film though does it lol to structure it as a mix of homage an antithesis to possibly the one Trek movie best avoided because its the single one considered a "classic". I have to say I laughed at "KHAAAN" as much as I did Vader's "NOOOOOO!". When...
