I was excited, then I saw the name.
LLOOOOEEEEEBBBBBBBB!
Comics fans are filled with dread. Ultimatum was atrocious, sensationalist, series destroying trash.

I'd watch that! Would love to see it as an adult live action though. Law and Order: Blind justice.PedroSteckecilo said:
I do believe Bold and the Brave is super-campy on purpose to give it that Silver Age feel. It also proved an effective advertisement for Blue Beetle, whom I didn't know existed until that cartoon. I know know he exists. I've now read all his comics. Pretty good stuff.elricik said:
One mans trash is another mans treasure I suppose. I just like my Batman fighting criminals and not super criminals. I just saw an episode where he teamed up with Aquaman and went to Atlantis to fight fish people. I want Batman fighting Joker and the Penguin, and I want to see more of the minor villains as well. Such as the Great White shark, or Humpty Dumpty. I just want Batman to say in his own city, and not go around the world. Also did you see the musical episode? It nearly killed me it was so bad.Zeromaeus said:
No I did not see the musical. I've seen...elricik said:
The episode where Red Tornado saves Christmas...
The episode that starts off with Batman and Green Arrow fighting Clock King...
The episode where they have to race. Guy Gardner was done NO justice in this series btw.
The episode where Blue Beetle goes to another planet.
The Reach episode.
The episode about Baby Face.
The episode about Bat Mite.
That's about it. All in all I liked what I saw. Especially the episode that started with Captain Marvel. Shazam!
I could see a live action X-men, if they focused less on trips to arcane dimensions/outer space and more on the part that deals with fear for mutants among the populations. Might fall flat, I mean, it's a concept that I guess works better the more you can suspend your disbelief, which there is a lot slimmer room for in a live action show. Still, as an X-men dork I would absolutely like see someone give it a try.Verlander said:
As for animated, I think the key is to chose something that can be "kiddied down" quite a bit without getting worse (because let's face it, a cartoon aimed enough at adults to ignore restrictions is not gonna happen). So Deadpool, Daredevil and to some extent, Wolverine are bad ideas. How about Avengers? Seems like something they would do what with the movie coming up...
Heroes went to hell the same time Loeb joined up. I'm not looking forward to this. Then again, this may just be to keep him too busy to screw up continuity in the comics.
Is this good or bad? On one hand, the man has done some amazing work. On the other, he wrote Ultimatum.
I'm all for it if all the characters aren't anime style :/.
Last time I saw a spiderman animated series he looked Asian.
I mean, I love asian folks (especially asian ladies
) but I'd prefer people made up a new character instead of changing things about the old ones.
It would have been no less weird for me if he had been wearing a pink tutu instead of his normal outfit. An odd change that confused me.
I sound so old haha. "Dagnabit! I hate change!"

No real reaction to this as there aren't many details.
To be entirely honest I've always felt that super-heroes do not work well as far as live action, small-screen subject matter. The vast majority of attempts wind up with situations where the characters don't use their powers when it would make sense because of budget concerns, and you rarely if ever get to see any good fight scenes involving super abillities because it's just too bloody expensive.
Now of course, there are exceptions, "Smallville" is a phenomena, and "Lois and Clark" did well before it. However even in those cases I have to take it with a grain of salt because there is rarely any really awesome fight scenes, and it seems to me that a lot of the time the dramatic aspects turn into a crutch for what they can't do on a small screen budget.
I suppose with shows like "Sanctuary" showing what can be done with green screen, that we might be approaching a point where it might be viable to make a satisfying hero show for an audience of comic fanboys, but I'm not holding my breath.
If it wasn't for the upcoming "Avengers" movie that is being constructed piece by piece, I would normally say that it would be a good idea for a TV series since as long as they were smart enough to skip on setting up an origin story, presented the team as being more or less established, and expecting the audience to know most of the characters with only an occasional bit of backstory, they could wind up using a "core team" and then have other characters come in and our as needed. In the comics pretty much everyone in "The Marvel Universe" has been an Avenger, or found themselves on the reserve list at some point, including some characters you would probably go "no way, I had no idea" about since there were only there for basically 15 seconds.
I'm an X-men fan, but I feel that with all the movies, cartoons, and other things with them, that they would wind up competing with themselves (so to speak) so it would be better to hold on doing a live action version of that franchise until the media prescence slowed down a bit more.
