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

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.

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

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Much as I despise him, I do have to admit he'd be perfectly cast as Plastic Man.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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.

The Patrick Duffy one? In the pool, I used to try to imitate how he kicked his feet fin.

I finally got this month's Buffy. Was the repetitive use of the word spike a great big hint or a great big red herring?

Also how awesome was the letter from "Raki"?
