I feel bad for the people still trying to cope that Wonder Woman is part of the trinity in anything more than on paper.

The books haven't exactly been kind to Superman and Batman lately, so maybe Wonder Woman is better off fading into obscurity. Not a bad idea.

Not shocked the Wonder Woman game was killed, development was just rebooted and Monolith last game came out in 2017 which is also when the old management of the team left. Likely would have been 2028 or 29 before they were able to put out WW if development went smoothly this time.

WB Gaming is in a mess right now, they just got rid of David Haddad who was head of WB Games for 12 years, so hopefully the replacement will better suited to actually getting games out that people want to play.

hell, if anything it was on TV as much as anything else
George Reeves Superman -> Adam West Batman -> Linda Carter Wonder Woman

First mover advantage. It's like Superfriends: it's the original that stuck with people, while the other Justice League versions just don't have that staying power.

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, the “Trinity” is Superman, Batman and Robin (Dick Grayson and all of the Titan mythos) those are the big three in DC, if you’re counting all comics, then the third is Spider-Man.

Wonder Woman has never been on their level, mostly because it’s literally Batman and Superman’s universe.

Plus she’s usually a reward for one of these two.

“Lois is dead? Imma give Diana a call.”

She's a bit astroturfed but there's no such thing as a bad character, only shit writers with agendas.
 
Wonder Woman honestly has a lot in common with the Hulk of being once popular heroes for their respective companies and often seen as pillars being reduced to utter jokes, though I think Hulk has it worse.

(Gal Gadot’s primitive approximation of human speech), trailer poses and that retarded electric cello track.

Wondy and Hulk both have two movies to their individual brands and there is no contest, Hulk’s movies have flaws but they’re fun and get the character right.

I just meant more from a legal standpoint.
iirc they literally can't make a "The Hulk Does Stuff" without Universal or whoever owning it because of contract issues from the first two, so there's basically never going to be a Hulk movie, it'll "Soandso Does stuff (also Hulk is there)"

At least Timm didn’t fall into the same tired trap as most writers where the ladies get to bump uglies with his OC. No, Timm had the balls to make Batman his self-insert. :suffering:

I’ll stand by the electric cello, always—but it doesn’t belong in Diana’s world. Maybe it would fit in a Lobo flick or cosmic monster like Brainiac. That guttural sound is wasted on Wonder Woman.

I mean Disney has the full rights to the Hulk, they would just need to give Universal a fee but Disney is greedy as fuck.
 
I love hearing that Gunn’s Superman is a broken piece of shit and is going in for reshoots. That smug cunt was so cocky when he got the gig and now we’re getting a Superman movie, where he shares spotlight with a bunch of queers (WB ironically were too scared to put the actual Authority queers in the movie) and it’s all to set up an Authority movie, that isn’t happening now.

SUFFAH BISCH.
 
this has nothing to do with any news (however I share @Humble Architect 's sentiment that fuck this faggot I'm glad his movie is not testing well, if he's going to ruin my personal favorite fictional character and his world I want him to KNOW people think it sucks after he's hyped himself up and people are blindly assuming it's great)

anywhore, I've been reading my favorite Batman era (post crisis from year one to probably around no man's land so idk Batman and detective from 1986-1996?) and you know Kelly Jones' Batman art is iconic and gorgeous but it always has the most hilarious juxtaposition to what it is. You have Batman looking like a fucking demon or something and it's a standard superhero script of Batman of the era so he's like just having a normal conversation but doing all these creepy poses and movements for no reason. It's fucking hysterical. I love it. here's a funny example from when Bruce comes back to relieve Nightwing of Batman duty after Knightfall and the same scene played in Robin's comic by some forgettable normal artist, then in Batman by Jones the next week. plus a couple of bonus pages that followed to show it's obviously just a normal batman issue drawn entirely nutso. every time I have ever read his work in this period of Batman it always cracks me up for the same reasons.

Kelly Jones is great and the Vampire Trilogy is my favorite Batman work.

God I wish the Nolanshit never happened and didn’t cause the “high-tech/realism” fetish modern Batman has.

I love the gothic style, Arkham Asylum (game) is peak Batman in terms of aesthetic, themes and depictions. He’s a genuinely terrifying nightmare to the criminals, they’re all long-past deserving basic human decency/rights and a few aren’t even remotely human anymore so they deserve the brutalizing you’re gonna give them, except Ivy that boss fight was……. suggestive.

Batman vs Dracula (massively underrated animated movie) got it right, Batman uses technology but he isn’t driving a tank or wearing power armor and the world is still gothic and stylized.

Hate it when Gotham is just a “regular city” that’s so fucking gay. It’s like when Metropolis is just New York, no, bring on the raygun gothic vibe, gimme a Bioshock retro utopia.
 
Gotham in The Batman looked like Blade Runner had a migraine.

The old Gothic Gotham? Yeah, that’s gone. Those beautiful art deco buildings are demolished, and also, we can't forget the rocky road Tim Burton has suffered. Burton didn’t invent the Gothic look— But the fans hate Burton with a passion and his versions have been scrubbed off the face of the earth.

he's probably one of my top 5 all time Batman artists. I don't know what my favorite Batman comic, or art of all time is. probably some bullshit. The Vampire Trilogy is awesome. him on material that suits his work is some of the best batman shit of all time. That said, again I fucking love Jones on normal Bat books. It's fucking glorious. He draws this fucking insane awesome art that doesn't fit the tone of the script at all and it makes it all better. The inappropriate juxtaposition is something so perfect that could only happen in a comic book.

I like my Gotham city to be some weird clusterfuck of disgusting 1970s new york, the late 1930s new york, and a Gothic cathedral gargoyle filled vampire den looking imaginary world shot in odd German expressions angles where it's always wet. I like my gotham an inconsistent pile of contradictions that the story says fuck it and glosses over the fact it has such a schizophrenic look because, who cares. It isn't real. But it looks cool.
