That's the cover for the animated Wonder Woman movie coming directly to DVD. The movie stars Keri Russell as Wonder Woman, Nathan Fillion as Steve Trevor, Alfred Molina as Ares, Virginia Madsen as Hippolyta, and Rosario Dawson as Artemis.
This is hardcore
This fan knitted her own Wonder Woman costume for San Diego Comic-Con. And then she went and made an Invisible Plane purse to go with it. Rock on.
That filthy Black Canary
So you've probably heard about the group of insane people masquerading as Christians who totally over-reacted to the release of a $40, not-at-all-intended-for-children, collectors' Barbie dressed like Black Canary.
I wasn't planning on giving them any more attention than they've already gotten, but I really needed to call them crazy and stupid in public so I can move on.
Thankfully, they haven't discovered Tonner's $150 Black Canary. Nobody tell them, okay?
Now, if you're going to pick on Black Canary...
Pick on her for something she's actually done, like making really bad relationship choices. That's what Dorian did.
Twice.
Caleb too.
Ah, the JLA Satellite years. "Stupid and Ridiculous" or "Best Comics Ever"? I truly can't decide.
Maybe the JLA Satellite blog will help. Rob is reading them all so I don't have to.
Judd Winick leaving Green Arrow/Black Canary?
I haven't seen any confirmation on Rich Johnston's story that Judd Winick will be leaving Green Arrow/Black Canary after issue #14. Is it true?
Winick drove me away from Green Arrow back when he first took on the series, but I've really been enjoying his run since Black Canary joined the cast. And not just because I like her. I liked Green Arrow before Winick got a hold of him too. Except for this last couple of issues and the '90s X-Titles-inspired version of the League of Assassins, Winick's GA/BC stuff has been a crazy amount of fun.
Not that it would be heart-breaking to see Winick move on, depending on who replaced him. Just saying that I wouldn't hate to see him stick around either. Johnston gave that story a "cautious" rating, so there may not even be anything to it.
Countdown could have been good
I've been trying to pretend that Countdown didn't happen and - even more tragically - that I didn't spend all that money on it. Even though towards the end I was just buying the issues that advanced the Mary Marvel plot, I feel like a complete sucker.
I've been trying not to blame Paul Dini because I really love everything else he's ever done. But Countdown was such a mess and I can't reconcile it with Dini's work on Detective Comics and Batman: The Animated Series.
Fortunately, Caleb helps me out by suggesting that "DC editorial forced large portions of the plot of Countdown upon Paul Dini and his fellow writers." He then goes on to imagine what Countdown might have been like if Dini had been allowed to do his usual thing:
What if Dini was just given a greenlight to do whatever the fuck he wanted, and we got a weekly about his favorite characters, another year-in-the-life-of-the-DCU series like 52, only with Dini's favorite characters (Harley, Poison Ivy, Zatanna) and perhaps those that his fellow writers knew best (Hawkman, Jonah Hex, the new Freedom Fighters, the Birds of Prey, the Teen Titans)?Man, I woulda dug a series like that. And I also wouldn't have been so shy about Trinity, which I dropped after three "okay, but not awesome" issues. If it ends up being awesome later, I can always buy the collections.
