Movie's pretty violent. Like, they don't shy away from
That didn't seem as violent to me as the
electrocuted testicles,
or some of Hit-Girl's fight scenes, where she literally
cut heads in half.
Also, by the end of the comic, I was kind of glad that
Big Daddy got killed.
Because, damn, what a sociopath.

I'm referring to the comic, of course, since I haven't seen the movie. (Which is why I asked about it. Durrr. I think I'm stupid on painkillers right now. Gotta say, reading Kick-Ass helps take the edge off of root canal pain.)
I really like the movie. It's pretty violent though.
The hardest scene to watch actually
is when Hit-Girl is getting beat up by the adult sized bad guy at the end. Seeing an adult male punching out a little girl - even a Hit Girl - is difficult to watch in a movie setting.
So in JLA #1, GL meets Batman for the first time. Like, doesn't know who he is, or what his powers are (not). In JLI #1,
Batman tries to talk Booster Gold into keeping Guy Gardner
on the team.
Is there a guide to this?
Argh. Amanda Waller in the DC reboot underwent a bit of a makeover: [link]
Fuck DC. Just fuck them.
I just had a hilariously pedantic discussion with Tim on the fact that there have been 2 female Robins.
Me: "I *know* I have told you this before! We've been dating for over 5 years!"
Him: "Uh, it may have slipped my mind."
Me: "Well, you know that only Steph Brown is canonical, right?"**
Him: [blank look]
Me: "Oh, for god's sake!"
This came out of the fact that there was a gigantic kink event in Columbus last weekend (way too big for me to handle the crowds), and apparently there was a superhero-themed party dealie. One of our friends told us that another friend, L. (who is a woman) dressed as Robin.
Of course my first reaction was "Oooh! Carrie Kelly or Steph Brown?!?"
They just looked at me like I was speaking in tongues. Finally I said, "It MATTERS, okay?!?"
And when I explained to them that there have been 2 female Robins, they were all like, "Oh, L. just thought she was being edgy." I decided to not even try to explain the whole canonical dress-Tim-Drake-in-drag dealie.
Edgy, my ass.
**(Actually, is Dark Knight Returns considered canon, but just...future-canon? Because I think of DKR as canon. Maybe I mean only Steph was Robin in current continuity.)
Friend L. has the build and haircut to pull off Carrie Kelly. (Actually, it was our friends who claimed that L. was trying to be "edgy" -- I don't know for sure whether or not L. reads comics. I would kind of expect it of her, to tell the truth. If I find out she really was being Carrie Kelly, I may have to leave Tim for her.)
Also, when I showed my Tim various issues with Steph Brown as Robin, he looked me up and down and said, "If you don't cut your hair, you could TOTALLY cosplay girl-Robin."
Perv.
The All-Robin issue of Tiny Titans had Carrie.
