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...)

This Is Where I Was And Will Be Again

These are pictures from my first trip down to Southwest Florida this past October. The 'rents and I are going back down tomorrow so I thought I'd give all one of you a clue to where I was. This is a local park called Ponce De Leone Park. I like this shot because it shows some differences between down there and up here. There's some pretty tacky homes down there. Some homes, maybe that one, are worth about a million dollars and don't look much more interesting than that. By the way, we hope to see a real manatee or two this time... This is Gilchrist Park. That water in the lower left corner is actually part of a big fountain. Again, this shot shows a big difference in climate from up here. Interestingly, this park has the more extravagant Ponce De Leone statue/monument. Weird... We will probably visit this park again at least once while we're down. The theme of differences continues here, al beit morbidly. I had to get a shot of this as it amused me. (Although the ...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Thank You Al Stewart

Well, I'm back from taking care of all those cats. It was actually one cat who had the the run of most of the house and 9 others that stayed in one bedroom; two of which I never saw the whole time. The biggest challenge was changing the litter boxes twice a day. One of the littlest kittens escaped from the room about a half dozen times and was harder and harder to catch. I spent most of my time watching old TV series and movies. I watched episodes of: Magnum PI including the pilot, Hunter including an episode the DVD box hyped had Ed O'Niell in it but also included "Fran McDormand" who perhaps is more well known, Charlie's Angels including the episode that aired originally the day I was born which also happens to be Jaclyn Smith's birthday..., Quantum Leap , Remington Steele , Sledge Hammer , Father Dowling and The Avengers . All series Lady Vader probably doesn't remember since she was under six when they originally aired. (OK, The Avengers and...
