"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So, Teppy (or whoever else) - if one were writing dialogue for people working in a comic store, I'm thinking that it might be reasonable for them to be bitching about the demise of Blue Beetle. What else might they be disgruntled about/think is awesome?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

If they are DC fans, they would be talking about Blackest Night, presumably. Or still complaining about Final Crisis.

If you are a guy working at my comic-book store, you are lamenting not going to Comic-Con and getting the limited-edition He-Man and Skeletor action figures that are now going for exorbitant prices on eBay. If you are another, you are bitching about G.I. Joe. (My point being that people working at a comic-book store could also be talking about a whole slew of non-comic geeky things that you may be more familiar with.)

Bless you - yeah, they'll most likely talk geeky in general, but I was a bit floundering at my lack of up-to-date knowledge about comics, since that is liable to crop up.

Also, suggest me some comic book heroes who haven't yet been made into movies? Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Aquaman, yeah? Nightwing?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Fay, if you want, send me the section and I can do a comic geek beta on it.

I... have spent too much time in comic book stores.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A Green Lantern movie is being made right now, a Green Arrow movie is in development hell, I haven't heard anything about a Nightwing movie, and Aquaman sucks.

There was the Aquaman TV show pilot! Which gave us Smallville's Green Arrow.

Aquaman sucks

Vinnie Chase and James Cameron beg to differ!

There are lots of comic book heroes without movies! Like the aforementioned Blue Beetle. And the Flash! There's never been a Flash movie? Huh. But there was apparently a short-lived TV series in the nineties. There is no Plastic Man or Elongated Man movie. There is no actual Batgirl movie, and Alicia Silverstone does not count.
