Exegesis of the Non-Theological Variety

This entire post is commentary on the following article: "10 DC Superhero Team-Ups We’d Like to See After Batman V Superman & Green Lantern/The Flash" You've been warned.

10. "Fish Out of Water" jokes aside, awesome idea. In fact, the similarity of Ben Affleck to Jason Mamoa's Stargate: Atlantis co-star Joe Flanigan (Or vice versa? Whatever...) makes this an even more interesting proposition.  Hell, they could make a live action movie of the Batman: Brave and the Bold with Black Manta using Aquaman's jealous brother to destroy Atlantis. I'd watch...

9.  I'm not feeling this one. If there are more variations on any characters in the DC Universe than these two, I'm unaware of them.  The most well-known versions, are mob daughter Helena Bertinelli and Power Girl isn't an alternate universe Supergirl but her clone. "Batman and Catwoman had a daughter?" Well, yes, and no... A live action version of this would make as much sense as Canadian science fiction...

8. Love this! Viewers of the Justice League cartoon can see this.  To give you a taste, I recommend the fan fic story "A Cold Reception in Central City" which as you might remember was written by me. Also watch the episodes "Brave and the Bold," "Maid of Honor" and "This Little Piggy." Need more proof? A "shipper video" not created by me: http://youtu.be/v70KgYKTh5M

7. Not gonna happen. Also, Miguel Ferrer played Martian Manhunter at least once. Implying only African Americans have a deep enough voice is kind of racist...

6. I like this idea although when did Green Arrow become a bigger DC hero than Hawkman?

5. This is a fantastic idea.  Anyone who has seen Man of Steel knows this version of Superman is not the "Boy Scout" he used to be so the difference between these two characters is different than even in the  Justice League cartoon: http://youtu.be/bqfNRrcFNVM

4. This is analogous to a Black Widow/Hawkeye movie. Would I watch it? Probably. Would general audiences? Doubt it.

3. Too obvious...

2. Not as interesting as a Batman/Wonder Woman movie.  In that scenario, you're replacing Superman with Wonder Woman.  Here you have two super-strong people kicking ass.  Sure, it would be enjoyable but what's actual target the audience? Women who like Michael Bay movies?

1. This does not count as a team-up.  Batman and Robin go together like ham and cheese or bacon and eggs.  Personally, I'd rather see a Batman/Batgirl movie anyway.  If they ever did add a sidekick to the Nolan-verse, I thought it would be awesome for Ellen Page to show up as Barbara. This is not as interesting to me with Ben Affleck but maybe Emma Watson instead? (Daniel Radcliffe reportedly wanting to be Robin did not cross my mind until about a second after...)

Random Comments Into My Life

We did yardwork yesterday. I picked up a lot of sticks. Home Depot sucks on a Friday morning. My father and I went to get a new gascan for the mower and there was only one employee around to help us...and she didn't know anything about how these new fangled gas cans work... So due to a bank error when I reset my bank account so I could accurately keep track again, I had like a hundred dollars less in my account than I thought so my last bill payment put me in the hole. This would've been all right and easily fixed if I had been paid for the last week of my mailroom job but, oddly, I still have not been even though it's been weeks. I don't know if I can accurately convey how infuriated this makes me. If it doesn't happen soon, heads will roll! Also yesterday I re-watched the Enterprise episode "Regeneration"; this time with audio commentary from the writers. They made some valid points I hadn't considered on the issue of if this episode screws with...

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c...

And Now, A Lame Quiz!

Your Score : Dionysus 33% Extroversion, 46% Intuition, 55% Emotiveness, 76% Perceptiveness Although deeply emotional, you are extremely lacking in self-knowledge. You are somewhat needy, and when bored, may become very hedonistic. Your life is a quest for meaning, above all else. You are most like Dionysus. You are primarily interested in serving others, but your efforts are almost always unappreciated. You aren't confrontational, you're often out of tune with your own needs and unaware of the consequences of your own actions. You are, at heart, a good person. You are very affectionate, and you are very loyal to your friends and family. You are very reluctant to burden others with your own problems, to the point that this in itself can become a problem for the people who care about you. This is a particular of a more general problem. Dionysus sends wave of ruin throughout his personal life. He is the photographer who seduces his subjects. He is the teacher who seduces a student...
