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.)
I think this counts as "other media" - My Little Horrible Ponies
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?
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.
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.
Man, I'd love to see a Plastic Man movie, except you just know that Jim Carey would be cast as Plas, and then I'd have to choke a bitch since I have an aversion to him that's not unlike Theodosia's loathing of Julia Roberts.
Much as I despise him, I do have to admit he'd be perfectly cast as Plastic Man.
When I was a kid and Aquaman had his own series I was so into him. We used to play that the picnik table in the backyard was a boat and if you jumped into the grass you were underwater. I'm glad there's no home movies of me and my sister "swimming" around the backyard.
