You know when you said, "7 Things You Didn't Know About Crossroads..." I swear, for a split second, I perked up because I thought you were talking about the excellent movie with Ralph Macchio. You then followed up with "15th anniversary" and I thought, "wait a minute. Crossroads is older than..." and then cut to a clip with Britney, Zoe and Taryn. I quietly uttered, "ooohh..." and slowly sank back into my chair.

That "I'm rich" comment is almost as good as in Justice League War when GL asked Batman "You're not just some guy in a bat costume are you?" and Batman just smiled back

The JLA / Avengers book is worth it for all the extras but you can still find the original 4 issues for a LOT less than the hardcover edition. Also, Gardner Fox was a creator of BOTH the Society and the League. Boom! Bonus thing!

1947 Human Torch is completely different from 1961 human torch and the former has entered the Public Domain.

Harkening back to the George Miller thing: I think one problem DC's had with their films (with all due respect) is that they keep using Zack Snyder to make almost all of them:


One of the reasons I liked many of the lead-up films to the Avengers was that they were all kind of unique in style (not so much in plot though): because they all had different directors. They would've gotten kind of tiresome if Joss Whedon did every single film, nothing would feel fresh and characters would end up feeling less unique.


Even then, on the rare occasions when DC's had directors other than Zack Snyder; they're not always well-known or very experienced (at least not After Man of Steel was made).

Which wouldn't be that much of a problem (as problematic as it sounds): Except they all seem like they're being forced to copy Zack Snyder on some level, which won't work because:

A) Why have someone try to Copy Snyder when you already have Snyder, who can do it better?

And B) Any raw talent that director had is wasted as they are unable to apply their own individual artistic style.



Meanwhile, Marvel is still getting different directors for each film, looking towards those who are already big names like Jon Favreau, Kenneth Brannagh, Edgar Wright (even though he didn't end up working with them), Taika Waititi and many more.


They just need to step outside of their comfort zone a little, but with a whole foot, not a toe. It may be a little late for them to have Miller's Justice League: but definitely try to get him back for a different film and give him creative freedom.


Also they need to think about their casting choices a bit better; I think Ben Affleck did pretty good as Batman, Gal Gadot did really good as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavil was a great Superman and Margot Robbie was a great Harley Quinn (and other people have had vastly different opinions about these four) but...

...Jared Leto isn't the Joker, as much as I love the stud, because I know he can act but something was off there.


More to the point: giving him tatts and grilles just deviated from his essence: the Joker is a homicidal clown, not an Instagram gangster.

I'm all for different adaptations and I appreciate them trying new things; but don't kowtow to big trends, if you don't completely understand the characters yet: don't make feature-length films about them.


I mean: I don't remember Leto's Joker even making a single Joke.


Sorry, I know people work hard on these films, that's just my two cents.

Starro should've been the movies villain, he's actually really powerful. When the Avengers faced him they got wrecked during the Dc Marvel crossover.

Correction - Martin Goodman was the publisher of Timely Comics (predecessor of Marvel). Goodman had a prior successful business relationship with Jack Kirby. Lucky for Goodman, Kirby was available to create a team book for Goodman that was based on characters that Timely/Marvel owned - with the exception of "the Thing" which Kirby kinda just came up on his own. Stan Lee "helped" but he was pretty young at the time and inexperienced. Goodman was training Lee to take over the family business (or so I am told). Bam. Many "things" only a few really really good comic book historians know (sources: The Art of Jack Kirby/Wyman, Kirby: King of Comics/Evanier).

I've always been more of a Marvel fangirl (with a substantial comics collection of both Marvel and DC - and even the late Image Comics - started in 92'), but I really want this movie to be good. DC's legacy is massive and I want this team of characters to be introduced to the modern cinematic medium in a respectful and entertaining way.
