Let's be honest, Deadpool was not cool until Liefeld had nothing to do with the character anymore. He was just a rip off of Deathstroke with a slight name change (2 letters!), a palette swap and lots of pouches who got his shit pushed in by Cable and X-Force on the regular. Other people developed his personality and backstory.

Yeah, Fabian Nicieza is the real brains behind deadpool. Liefield just designed the first costume.

Should add that leifield was going to make him a serious character before fabian stepped in and said "you can't just blatantly rip off deathstroke."

Not to mention it was one of the most well executed "passing of the torch" stories ever. I like bucky cap.

I just hope the same thing doesn't happen with bruce wayne, because I love the grayson/damien combo as batman and robin.
Also Grant Morrison is a genius. |

Well Batman coming back wouldn't bother me because his death was kinda meh and against his mythology... just too other-worldy...
But the DC heroes are pretty much against passing any torch. Where's the universe growth there? I'd love for my kids to enjoy their own Batman, just to be able to say, "Back in my day Bruce Wayne handled things like this..." There's a charm to telling kids how much their current Power Rangers suck compared to Mighty Morphin. |

I actually wouldn't care if bruce came back as long as he stayed awy from the mantle. I also, didn't find his death as meaningful as cap's, but like I said, I LOVE grayson ands damian as batman and robin. Especialy how the roles have been reversed, with batman being the more light hearted one, and robin being the darker one. And it will be cool to see how grayson wins the respect of the gcpd, the villains, and gotham as a whole.
Still havn't read battle for the cowl, but R.I.P. and morrison's whole run has been amazing. Mainly because I had read reprints of a lot of the crazy stories from the black case book as a kid. I imagine it was pretty wtf and confusing for people who havn't. Marked out so bad for the zur-en-arrh costume. |

Kalyx's description is underwhelming, that's all. Batman kills darkseid at the same time, pretty much saving the universe in the process.
He also uses a gun to do it, breaking his greatest oath. Frankly, I didn't have a problem with it like other people did. I mean, it's his most sacred oath yes, but it took the fate of the entire universe to break. What was he supposed to do? "WellI could stop you right here and now, but I said I'd never use a gun, so I guess we're fucked." |

I don't like the fact that DC barely makes an effort to pass the torch down.
I liked reading JSA mostly because of it. I liked seeing Flash, Green Lantern, etc talk to the newer heroes and try to introduce them to the world. I thought that the older guys would eventually sort of step down..but nah. That is one thing I like better about Marvel. I really like reading marvel the initiative. I might be biased with DC because I only read a few titles..but it just seems plain. I feel like Marvel is miles ahead as far as story telling goes compared to DC. Final Crisis was a mess to read..even for some of my friends who have been die hard DC fans for years. |

However some DC books are right up there with marvel's best. Green Lantern is probably the best mainstream book around right now. I used to put captain america ahead of it, but CA has slowed down while GL keeps getting better and better. Like I said, Morrison's batman has also been amazing. |

Gary Ross will write the script for Venom and possibly direct it as well. He's already written Spidey 4. He definitely has spiders on the mind. Sam Raimi is hoping to shoot Spidey 4 in the Spring for a Summer 2011 release. |

Positives: The anime style, that's more fun than anything else No Superboy (thank GOD!) Main Villian being Deathshot The theme is one of the best ever The episode where Robin is Nightwing. In fact, a Nightwing series is a good way to go. Negative: Deathshot being called Slade because Deathshot is too extreme for kiddies. I understand that his real name is Slade, but that's not the point. Call him fucking DEATHSHOT, god damn it! |

Logan Vs Japan, Bub:
For the next Wolverine movie, Logan will be facing skilled warrior's who aren't even mutants. Visually, they're working on a new way for Logan to fight with his claws as this sequel seems to aim for a martial arts presentation. Have we really been watching Wolverine go all animal for ten years? This should be cool. Fox is hooking up with their Japan branch for authenticity and they will film in Japan as well. The X-Men movies are liked in Japan so this movie should be an international spooning. Class Is In: The X-Men reboot, First Class is looking to the latter Harry Potter movies as inspiration (I don't watch the Potter films... is this good?). They want this to be a franchise so the casting will be important. If you're anything like me the only thing on your mind is OMG THERE'S NO X4?! :foc: Say It With Me, "Merc... with a MOUTH": Hey you, reading this update - yeah YOU. Kalyx wants you to know that they're gonna ignore my cousin, Barakapool. They're gonna reboot me, baby - origin and all! In fact... if those gray suits at Fox read my threatening- ah... I mean business proposals, my movie will have all the dark comedy and 4th wall breaking I want! The tricky part is getting a writer as crazy as me... Who wrote that Chun Li movie, again? It's not what you think - there's 30Gs on his head and Mystique has a head start! ...See what I did there? ... Whatever, go back to reading your nerdy forum, loser! |

A Deadpool movie with the humour/4th wall breaking could be awesome. I thought Ryan Reynolds was great in the Wolverine film.

In fact, Deadpool in the 'Wolverine VS Hulk' animated feature is pretty much perfect. They need to do a Deadpool movie with him like that.
