GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

On re-watch I realized "Wow, the official cosplayer for the Deadpool game is one big dude."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Young Justice: Roy's a clone? The hell?

The Scarab is not Kord tech, damn it. I mean, the pre-new 52 explanation (alien tech from an alien race that wanted to enslave the Earth [like you do]) doesn't lend itself to a team show, but -- damn it, it's alien tech!

The bloodthirstiness is about right, though.

The Bat-family is awesome, although I don't know how I feel about having Barbara as Batgirl.

Roy's a CLONE?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What episode are you up to, Steph?

Yeah, that would be another major plot point you missed out on with Season 1. Forgot about that one. I apologize.

But as for the Scarab? Just wait.

There's some rumors flying around that DC has lost the rights to the Milestone characters and that's the reason behind the last-minute yank, but I can't find anything concrete either way.

I did find someone ranting about how greedy the Siegel family is for fighting with DC about the Superman rights. @@

Here's a summary of all the rumors: [link]

To me, the January return date suggests that it was done to appease advertisers, who do most of their big buys leading up to Christmas.

Of course, the REAL reason is [link]

Related to your last link: [link] (ignore the part where she's having a conversation with a talking car [and dating its "Dad" is not dating a car -- it's a human, who is the "Dad" by virtue of building UltraCar]).

Heh. After I posted there was a site that was claiming the episode was pulled because Dan Didio hates Stephanie Brown.

Brandon V. responded on twitter to a question about whether the Milestone characters need to be written out that they finished writing Season 2 awhile back. He also claims he hasn't heard any reason for the hiatus.

The really weird thing, if the rumor it's true, is Static hasn't even been identified as such. He's just a dreadlocked kid with no lines and no name so far.

Okay. Having read the collected rumors in the first link: wow. All that put together does not spell good things for the future of the show. Hopefully things are a bit better than that.
