Very interesting! This is how you relaunch an old favorite. Speaking as a child of the '80s, I love the original series, but it had seriously cheesy moments and characters. The new series maintains everything that worked previously while flaking off the cheese. The only disappointment...

First Boyd Kirkland, now Dwayne McDuffie! This is upsetting for me. He was a fixture on this board during JL/U's run until he was offended by some link posted here. I enjoyed reading his insights and jousts with the late Wayman Tisdale (RIP) over the show. Those were indeed fun times! JL/U...

Rest peacefully, Mr. Kirkland, and thanks for your contribution to animation.

Hawkgirl's my favorite, but I came to really like Vixen. My regret about that triangle was that she didn't dump John. He obviously still had it for HG, and he continually blew Vixen off. She deserved better.

They are? New rule, I guess. Haven't been here in a while.... GL & Hawkgirl were a slow-building thing. They had a lot in common, which neither would've admitted initially. It wasn't obvious to me that they'd become an item until Wild Cards, which is good. Also, I don't think they even...

GL and Hawkgirl Black Canary & Green Arrow Huntress & Question Harley & Ivy ;)

No! I don't like CGI except in very small doses as in JL. 2D all the way :cool:

Wow! This gonna kick so much ass, especially with Gail Simone writing. Looking forward to it :cool:

Well....

Marvel gets points for churning more shows with a greater variety of characters instead of just one on everything (I'm pointing at you, Batman :p ) But Superman: Doomsday and New Frontier were top shelf. All that matters to me is DC keeping that up; I don't care about live action superhero movies.

I don't remember handicapped folks depicted tastelessly on this show, e.g., a supervillian shoving someone down a staircase or referring to them as "cripples." (If they were depicted at all.) Don't forget that Kragger attacked first using his iron lung as a weapon. What was Shayera supposed to...

No, not every show. I liked Batman and Superman enough. I've come to appreciate Teen Titans. JL/U, however, is my all-time favorite.

Those are the big ones. There are plenty of details the movie omitted. But what you do see is faithful to the book; hell, a large chunk of the dialog is almost word-for-word. I suggest reading it. You won't be disappointed :cool:

I finally got to reading the book and buying the DVD this week, and while the latter is a good, solid movie, it felt like something was missing. I guess that's the nature of the beast when adapting from a book. Many details have to get cut for time constraints. It was still a good piece...

I should've picked "other" since Question wasn't among the choices, but I went with Green Arrow. John Stewart and older Terry McGuiness follow closely.

I'd get behind a "Brave & The Bold" series. It's a good concept, and the comic is one of the best on shelves today. If it happens, I just hope it has some maturity to it, like JL.

I like the Avengers enough, but I enjoyed the Superman/Doomsday DVD more.

In the comics, they used Nth metal in their wings to fly. I'll assume Carter did it that way here :sweat: I was thrilled Hawkman was on the show but with not the stalker bit. Nonetheless, I liked these episodes.

-There is nothing at all wrong with it, but I'd remake "Legends" with the Justice Society as opposed to the Justice Guild. -I agree with DisneyBoy on "The Balance" to a point. The true reason Diana and Hawkgirl were on edge, her betrayal, wasn't addressed. Instead, it was the princess/tomboy...

I don't think their personal lives were too absent. They weren't covered in depth but just enough to get a feel for who they were without the show becoming an animated soap opera (well, anymore than it was :p ).

If not for JL/U, I wouldn't have gotten back into superhero comics, so I like both equally. The DCU is primarily how I get my fix of these characters now. That's understandable. I think most of that's due to bad editorial decisions and decades worth of history coming together. DC does what...

I've been curious whether or not he was a fan of the show.

I wouldn't mind. I've been watching my JL/U DVDs recently, and it got me missing the show a little.

I can't choose just one, so... Hawkgirl Wonderwoman Black Canary Vixen Huntress Zatanna

Seems whenever a subject related to HG's betrayal comes up, it attracts attention :p

I understand "Starcrossed" was influenced in part by the Invasion and Hawkworld mini-series of the late '80s.

In Blackest Night was based from a Justice League story during the '70s where Hal was accused of what John did. I read that the Authority was also an inpiration for them.

This is the talkback thread for A Dressing Down for...Comic-Con International. Good piece Alex. It's surprising that, given the attention SDCC gets, these problems haven't been addressed. Hopefully they will. It makes me grateful our Comic-Con in Baltimore isn't this insane ;)

I agree to a point. JL/U was mature enough without needing anything more graphic than it already had (e.g., violence). It's a matter of quality. Heavy violence, coarse language, and sex are crutches only if there's nothing more to a piece than that (and if it's utter crap to begin with)...

I can't complain about WF. More screen captures are always a good thing :D Otherwise, it's a good resource.

Sure :evil:

A school girl crush is one thing, but Barb and Bruce having romantic relationship seems gross to me because they had a master/apprentice-type relationship.

I'm just glad they didn't give Aquaman that stupid metal bra from the comics :ack: Otherwise, I liked his barbarian look.

Me too. JLU no longer airs except for Boomerang, which most folks don't have. Titans is in reruns. It's probably hard for kids to stay interested given that. Also, most comic readers are adults and prefer more mature content if sales are any indication.

I was unaware of John Stewart before this show, and because he had gray-ish temples, I thought he was a black Hal Jordan :o

Superman's not one of my favorites, but I like him enough. I don't think he's completely unrelatable given his history. I understand either Siegel or Shuster created him as a perfection of himself but gave him the Clark Kent identity to keep him down to Earth.

I enjoyed JLU's extended cast, but I liked JL's hour-long episodes.

You're right, but there are plenty more on the brink of "R" territory.

Oops, we dropped DirectTV a couple of months ago, so no more Boomerang :sweat: Thank goodness for the DVDs. Hope those of you with Boomerang enjoy it.

The DC Direct figures are made for collectors, which probably explains why they aren't so sturdy. They aren't, however, the figures IDTEFX was talking about. They're mainly sold in comic shops. I agree that the JL/U figures would look better if DCD produced them; they're also responsible for...
