These are the two that appeal to me. Are they only going with 3 Earth-based Green Lanterns? What of Kyle Rayner? I'm wondering if they're going to take the time to explain why there are multiple Lanterns from Earth, when other sectors only have 1 to cover the full sector. I understand there was a Booster Gold in Smallville, but I'm ready to see a focus on the egotist-turned-hero.

Was it between 2 and 4 pm in the afternoon? Did you hear odd, tinny music playing outside?

I just learned a few days ago that the "kiddo" bit comes up with other contacts as well, just not as often as Twinshot. I'm trying to remember, but I think it was Roy in Talos that used it.

Which all actually makes sense in that, with a comic book multi-verse, some things change, some things remain the same between two close universes. It might actually be fun to have a couple of the previous actors "return" to this universe, but as different characters, much like the Arrow-verse had a bit of fun with that in their multi-verse crossovers and had Brandon Routh playing both The Atom and one of the Supermen. I do hope one of the changes, though, is that this universe's Flash does not perceive himself as a speed skater.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the Ultraman-styled "U" . Unless there's a big reveal at the end, I suspect its just an Easter egg, but the style is very specific. Metamorpho actually is a good guy in other works. I think in the comics as well? He usually starts either confused, or on the wrong side and switches. His actor, Anthony Carrigan, is no stranger to DC projects. He portrayed one of Batman's Rogue's Gallery, the serial killer Victor Zsasz in the pre-Batman TV series Gotham. The lady I'm having trouble figuring out. Cybernetic weapon arms and a close alliance with Luthor would suggest Mercy Graves as the character, but I see no reference, currently, to Mercy in the IMDB listing. I believe Luthor had another, similar aid, Grace, at one point, but I don't see that name either. I guess she's The Engineer, then? I've only recently learned of the character. It apparently was one of several characters recently merged into DC Comics from another publishing house.

McFarlane, though, is labeling the box with terms like "DC Multiverse" and "DC Universe Infinite". Has Gunn or DC come out and said that his films version will be a multiverse version of the DC comics?

Back on the topic, namely the movie itself, I recognize several elements of the Superman and Justice League mythos, but I do not recognize the kaiju. Any ideas?

Thank you for the clarification.

I'm more concerned about the potential of killing off Pa Kent...again. Granted, I'm not a dedicated comic collector, but I don't think Pa Kent died in the comics, at least until the Christopher Reeves movie. Then, most every version except perhaps Lois & Clark on TV had him dying. That was Spider-Man's schtick with Uncle Ben. I'd rather they find the DC crew carve their own path. Not every superhero needs a relative killed in order to function as a hero. Mr. Terrific is a technological and tactical genius. When I've seen him, he most often utilizes a series of tennis-ball-sized tech spheres that can produce a variety of offensive and defensive effects. They had a version of him in the Arrow TV show, though I suspect that version was goofier than the comic version. He was also in some of the animation. I believe Justice League Unlimited was where I first encountered him, where the character became something like second-in-command of the Watchtower, Justice League's space base. It is the Engineer I know nothing about. What I know of Guy Gardner says that he's the bad-to-the-bone human Green Lantern, the one most likely to hang out at the motorcycle gang bars. The bowl haircut, well, it's long been iconic with Guy. It's also been some rib-poking fun between Gunn and Fillion.

I've only run the Atlas Park missions, and then only once or twice, and that over 5 years ago. It is the Stars running willy-nilly all around the player character that sold me on how broken the arc was. Flambeaux I remember immediately lumping into the same camp as Fusionette, but with more self-centered attitude. If the current dev team were not volunteers and strapped for time, I'd petition for a remake of the Shining Stars arc to fix a lot of what ails it. Maybe start it at level one to deal with the "this is what a trainer is" issue. I gather from other comments that the characters never really advance in nature in KR and SC. That is unfortunate. In addition to being considered higher in the security ranks, it would have made sense for them to grow in personalities as well. Twinshot, for example, would lose some or all of that devil-may-care sass, and start functioning more like a leader. Grym and Dillo would grow a bit more in their social and linguistical understandings, without entirely losing their personalities. Proton would gain a bit in the social department as well, and Flambeau might have started to show a bit less self-centered nature.

No I didn't. I read the link provided. I got through the Atlas missions including "The Lion's Den", talked to Manticore, talked again to Twinshot, was told the Stars were moving to Kings Row, and...that was it. No offer was made to advance the player (me) to a new set of missions in KR. My character was still pretty low in rank at the time, so I'm thinking I shouldn't have disqualified due to high security rank. It was the KR base comment that made me suspect there was more that I was not being shown.

Just for kicks, I did the Shining Stars arc in Atlas with a new character, something I've not done since probably 2019. At the end, it notes the Stars get a re-assignment to Kings Row. Do they have another arc there that I've never noticed? If not, was that intended as a hint that in the original game at some point there was supposed to be another arc in KR? (Side note: if they could ever fix the Stars bizarre pattern of running around you like moths to a flame, the arc might actually be somewhat enjoyable.)

Not against the character, but this trailer left me with a "meh" attitude. I'm not really sure what would tip the scale towards excitement. Also, why do fiction/fantasy creators keep making massive shoulders that actually would block the vision of the armor wearer?

This was to be one character However, I'm having so much fun testing two different powersets, I may just have to write one as a Praetorian counterpart. Names: Discarded & Discard Nix Card-based character(s) drawing inspiration from both DC Comics' Royal Flush Gang and Marvel's Gambit. The rough lore concept is that of a character(s) that has been disavowed from an unnamed organization and has found a new start as a powered individual in Paragon City. "Discard" being an obvious card pun as well as a synonym to disavowed. "Nix" playing a dual role of "ending" and "darkness/night" as the sentinel wearing a 2 of diamonds pattern (an often discardable card) uses Dark Blast instead of staff fighting. The brute with the staff has no clubs image, as the game doesn't give a chance for a 4th graphic. I guess he "discarded" a full suit. Not pictured, both have the card aura when in combat.

Some of those tiles might not be initially obvious. For example, if you grab Thin Fountain 1, and turn it vertically, you'll find the side that formerly connected to the ground now appears as vertical water, and the "floor" of the fountain is invisible when viewed from that side.

I agree! I thought Kirk Douglas was hilarious in his role, and I appreciated Stallone stretching into comedy instead of the anguished tough guy roles he's known for.

Really surprised you didn't mention his Oscar. No, not the trophy...

"Carl" is probably "Carla". While eating the venomous spiders is a huge plus, I suspect "Carl" is a jumping wolf spider, which is a big NOPE in my book. As I live in one of the two states they're named for, I think I'd rather stock the house with Carolina mantises instead. Those bad girls eat the venomous spiders, and are considered good luck to have around. I used to have one living on our porch at the bachelor pad I lived at 30 years ago, and we kept it near the door to deal with pests.

Are you stating your availability in the Looking For Group channel? Actually, are you monitoring the Looking For Group channel? I admittedly haven't played on Everlasting in some time, but I would assume the LFG recruiting remains similar to Excelsior. Everlasting is the current main role-playing shard, so it's possible that the majority are tied up in RP. If so, perhaps a shout in role play destinations like Pocket D might help.

On the other hand, one-word names tend to show ultimate or legendary status: Elvis, Cher, Pele, Fabio, Plato, Prince, Snarky, etc.

Amateur. Here's how you really get a fast confession: Leonard Part 6

I'm just having adrenaline-junky fun visiting all the bases. That's the real win, to me at least. So many creative ideas, both big and small. Some bases create environments that never would have occurred to me.

I actually liked "Trial of the Incredible Hulk". It was not everything it could be, but Daredevil and Fisk actually made it to live action, and for having released while still in the campy era of comic book projects, it held itself in check much of the time. Fisk actually fought intelligently against Daredevil. And John Rhys Davies as Fisk...man, the potential they had there! (It was to have been a launch for a Daredevil series that never materialized.) "The Incredible Hulk Returns" is reasonably entertaining. I laughed hysterically at Mr. McGee's confrontation with Thor: "I am a very particular man!" That said, I was not happy with their really weird take on Thor/Donald Blake.
