Is there a reason why THIS has never been made into a movie?
Considering some of the scripts that have been floating around, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

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

True, but I just have this mental image of David Caruso playing Rorschach. And, you know, get a good writer who'll be fairly faithful (maybe even Alan Moore himself, although I don't know if he'd consent), get a director with some balls (Robert Rodriguez), and it could be some seriously hot shit.

Plus, trying to condense it down to 2 hrs for a movie has given folks snits. EW actually had a little bit about it in a recent articlel, about movies that should be made but haven't yet.

Dude, I'm busily plotting how early I can sneak out of the big end-of-year shindig this afternoon.
It's going to add a good hour and a half to my commute. And people like to call me to hit the pub on Wednesdays. This will be tricky.
Well, okay, that would hurt in the bad, Robin 125 THE FUCK? way.
Despite the warnings, I picked up this issue. Thank goodness I was prepared for the mighty "Whaffuuuuck?" It kind of makes me hope Willingham shows his face at Dragon*Con so's I can tell him what I think about his Batfamily characterization.
Oh, and I read Impulse: Reckless Youth last night. Wally and Linda are cute like cute things, Max is the shit, and my love for Bart is even greater. And he showed up in a dress again while trying to covertly tail somebody. My, do I love that boy.

Most of my quibbles were minor, and I want Rucka in Babs' head all the time.
Ple, did you know that JZ and Rucka are friends from college? Not in touch anymore, but they were in the same creative writing class together (where the teacher regularly dissed his genre interests). You'll like this detail - they used to go out on campus patrol together at night.

Speaking of not right in the head.... that boy is Not Right in the Head.

!!! That'd be a no.
Sigh.

Well, crap. Now I have ANOTHER thing to get. Man, I love Bart.
Gah. So nervous about NW93. My head keeps going "this cannot end well." Then my head keeps saying (as a result of a recentish binge on ALL my Dick stuff) so, is this going to be the one where he really snaps, kills someone, and it takes? And that makes WAY more sense than it should. Poor boy.

Of course Bart ain't right in the head. He's, like, two. Or is he three now?

Well, it was weird -- it starts off with Bart's intro into the Flash series, then skips a whole bunch. There are a couple of pages of explanation by the writers, and then it starts off with Impulse #1 through, um, #5 or 6? Basically, origin story, and Bart being a total cutiehead.
