I saw suicide squad the other day, and I have to say, it was one of the worst piles of rubbish I have ever sat through.
I think my problem was not fearing it beforehand!Wasn't as bad as I feared, 5.5/10.
Not DC, but while we're on comic books....I have the (most recent) Fantastic Four blu-ray here, waiting to be watched.
I'm going to try my hardest to watch it without the baggage, I've been told that if you try and forget it's anything to do with Marvel it's actually quite a good movie. An interesting take at least...
Watching Arrow season 4 right after Daredevil season 2 really has highlighted how poor the writing on the former is compared to the latter.
Discovered in December, 2015, MYSTERY OF THE BATMAN is a little-known serial which would have featured the first appearance of DC Comics' Batman, in any medium, outside of comic books.
Originally intended for twelve chapters, MYSTERY OF THE BATMAN was produced by BJC Pictures, an obscure poverty row studio, which went bankrupt with only six episodes filmed and completed.
Thanks to the passionate effort of historians and fans, the existing chapters of MYSTERY are currently undergoing an extensive digital restoration.
I never realise dthe red hood character went back that far... I've got the Joker origin story version in THe Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told but alays assumed that was cira 50s.
DC were obsessed with being gritty in the 80s, hence a bunch of serial killer plotlines and urban hell scenarios. Some say it affected the wider pop culture so that anything bleak and miserable is even to this day immediately given a higher status than offering us a happy ending.
Can't be Batman. He wears rather a lot of rubber.Not upcoming but such a great wTF I'd sooner leave it here than bury it in the WTF thread.
In the 80s, DC had an office ballot for which character was going to get AIDS.
Their 80s high note for me was The Joker becoming Iran's Ambassador to the UN.
