Idk what it is, but Mallen just gives me the heebie jeebies for some reason. He feels rabid in a way nobody else particularly is
>>152042456You're scared of some minor villain?
>>152042748Hey, nobody said this was a popularity contest
Less of the villain himself (who's kind of a nothing killer) and more a particular scene caused by him, but I remember being unsettled first time I've got to this page
>>152042456Is this a joke?
>>152043810No?
>"But it doesn't matter what anybody calls me. I know who I am."
>>152043364Someone did the math>If AbsBat 15 is at 300K that tells you Batman makes up 60 percent of the sales if not more. 300K times 15 (and the first issue is much higher) gets you to 50 percent of all the absolute line’s sales.>Honestly 8 million over ~50 issues across all titles isnt that good. Especially if you remove Batman that leaves you with 4.6 for ~35 issues.>It’s a success but a meager one rather than an explosive one
>>152043644It's pretty explosive considering both regular (ie non tie in/crossover) new 52 and rebirth Batman issues capped out around 100k-110k units when comichron was a thing and that was considered the height of DC's success (excluding events of course) and was usually the benchmark for floppy sales in general due to how consistent it was (https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-sales-data-explained/). And then the rest of their franchises/books were selling either mediocre or like shit compared to Batman and marvel.So 50 issues having 8 million units is a big improvement especially since it's spread out across multiple franchises and within one year.
>>152032234>>152032231So is the implication this interaction with Hawkman already happened or is it happening? The way it's framed makes it look like him going into the sky and screaming already happened and passed.
>>152043897Him reading poetry to Ra's already happened, Hawkman is happening now is how I see it
>>152043644>Umm the absolute series is barely succeeding actually No one believes this.
so we are going to have to see this sad boring faggot every season now?
>>152038429He has already been replaced, and Season 3 will feature a different main character instead of HW
>>152038381OP status: obliterated
>>152038363The show isn’t good at all >>152043177Cringe
>>152038363We love Simon around here.

Does the Penguin deserve to be in Arkham?
Penguin rarely gets incarcerated at all. He's got good lawyers, and as far as the law is concerned is a legitimate business owner. Any time served is usually at Blackgate, not Arkham. Though ironically Arkham has higher security. Penguin may only stay at Arkham briefly for a psyche eval to make his case look good/enter a plea deal
>>152043193>>152043168You would think he'd be safer in Blackgate. He could run all his mob stuff from inside the prison. What's Batman gonna do? Threaten to take him to jail if he doesn't stop? No way. As a matter of fact a lot of criminals do their best work inside of jail before Batman even gets there. Take it from me it works or my name isn't Matches Malone.
>>152040415He should have been executed a long time ago.
>>152040415He barely ever gets shoved into prison and when he does it's blackgate. He can do mob business and be fine in blackgate. He's not pulling that on Batman's more colourful schizos hanging out in Arkham.
>>152040415Why doesn't Bane belong in Arkham? He escaped jail and moved to another country just because "Hey Batman! Some guy in the clink mentioned that you are strong, I've been dreaming about you ever since! Let's fight'
Let's DC had stuck with Mary being evil even to this day after all the reboots and deboots, how would you have written that?
I'm speechless... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-zZqrdybGE
>>152042419Makes sense. Thank you. I'm neither Mexican nor Chicano, but grew up in SD with Chicano and Mexican friends and know there is a difference but never really heard anyone put it into words. I'm in Texas now and Tejano, Chicano, and Mexican are all really similar with minor differences, but I'll never figure most of it out aside from the boots.
>>152040281I miss El Tigre
>>152042467All Tejanos and Chicanos trace their ancesotry to Mexico. Chicano is a sociopolitical movement based on rejecting conformity to Anglo American traditions and embracing Mexican heritage. Tejanos are a specific subset of Americans of Mexican descent who have lived in Texas since before it achieved independence. Tejano is a much more specific and coherent identity, where as Chicano is a very broad political movement that has lost a lot of steam since it's heyday back in the 60s and 70s.
>>152043548Thank you. I appreciate it and honestly it's helping me understand the situation of a close friend that was born in DFW of central mexican parents. Not trying to start shit, just want to say you lot are helping me be a better friend as a gringo from the border.

>IRON MAN 3 writer-director Shane Black and his co-writer Drew Pearce originally meant for the movie to pull a twist inspired by ‘Remington Steele’. The 1980s television series starred Stephanie Zimbalist as a private detective who combats her clients' sexism by hiding her identity behind a male pseudonym: the titular Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan), a con man who's happy to pretend he's a suave investigator.>"Like ‘Remington Steele’, you think it’s the man but at the end, the woman has been running the whole show,” Black said. The fake-out man was meant to be Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), the character who became the primary antagonist in IRON MAN 3’s final cut. The woman would've been Rebecca Hall's Maya Hansen, a brilliant geneticist and the creator of the Extremis drug.>However, Marvel executive Ike Perlmutter allegedly canceled the concept, claiming that a female villain wouldn’t sell as many toys as a man. "We were given a no-holds-barred memo saying that a female villain cannot stand,” Black recalls. “’We've changed our minds because, after consulting, we’ve decided that toys won’t sell as well if it's a female.’” Ironically, no toys of Killian wound up being produced.>In the film, Killian's the ultimate mastermind behind Extremis, although he used Maya's groundbreaking research to create the serum. Maya reluctantly participates in Killlian's evil scheme until a crisis of conscience inspires her to make a final stand — a move Killian cuts short by abruptly shooting her in the stomach.https://collider.com/iron-man-3-rebecca-hall-maya-hansen-death/

>>152037977>what if instead of that generic literal who it was this other generic literal who but femaleWow, so much of value was lost.
This is Incredibly old info how are you guys just knowing this?
>>152037977that sounds pretty bad. that being said....>perlmutter>hurr durr won't sell toyshow the fuck is this still being used as an excuse for literally anything?
>>152037977I'd have sex with her.
ITT: forgotten /co/ adaptions
>>152041027This movie is fucking insane.
>>152027561Firebreather
>>152041084I remember the director saying if it did well they wanted to include Howard the Duck in the sequel
>>152041598I feel like this show was starting to mutate into something decent before it was cancelled. The start was rough but there was some potential there.
>>152041044milk.
are you still a fan of this 20 year old cartoon?
>>152042912*lickable
>>152042912>>152043002i mean, you can lock that tummy by twisting that navel screw...
>>152043010she would completely fall apart without it apparently
>>152028785Yup, but my most recent drawing of her is this spooky thing I made for October of last year.
...
No computers.
>>152039615But that has Andy Samberg in it and Who Framed Roger Rabbit has no Andy Samberg so it's an objectively better movie
What would a genderbent version of the movie look like?
>>152043557The badguys win in the final battle because Eddina Valiant can't kick anyone in the balls and can't find a rhyme for vagina.
>>152043565This got a genuine lol out of me, so thanks for that.
>>152043557Female Judge Doom would be the most interesting to see, just by virtue of seeing a woman judge in 1947.
Because who doesn't want to use their siblings as experimental subjects?
>>152042416You really have to wonder why Lynn Sr. and Rita let Lily and Lisa stay in the same room.
>>152042416>wrong lever
>>152042802They know Lisa can undo whatever crimes against humanity and science Lisa regularly inflicts upon that toddler. It's a victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark.
>>152043102Lisa even scoops out the inevitable experiment-induced tumors for free. Frankly, Lily should be paying HER.
>>152041708Lisa truly was one of the characters that got better as the series went on.
I'd argue Spongebob is the most influential cartoon of all time. Bigger than Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. Spongebob has been deeply embedded in society for the past three generations, and was the face for meme culture. Has yet to show any signs of stopping, and will most definitely outlast the Simpsons and Family Guy.

Who are the most hateful characters?
>>152041684>Sabretooth, Reverse Flash, and Black MantaThose three are more super hatERs than hateFUL though. They hate that one guy in particular super-fucking-much as part of their powerset.
>>152041456Skaarbrand
>>152041595This.Uncle Rufus loves white people to the exclusion of all other races including his own. Hatemonger is actually extremely chill when not dealing with women or xenos. Eric Cartman is more self-absorbed than hateful.The Monarch however defines himself by his hatred.
