More unrecognizable than in the scenes that weren't deleted?
In the deleted scenes it's obvious she's trying for some kind of accent, it's just unclear what. In the rest of the movie she just sounds a little odd. At least to me.
Wesley: We're going to bring Angelus in alive. Connor: No we're not. Gunn: I thought you said capturing him wasn't an option. Wesley: Changed my mind. Connor: Change it back.

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.

Question - is Identity Crisis a stand-alone series, is it a part of the (an?) ongoing continuity, or is it the setup of one?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Frank, this week's Identity Crisis was the first issue of a standalone miniseries -- IIRC it'll go to either 7 or 8 issues altogether. As far as I know it is in continuity with other DC titles.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Yep, it's in continuity with other titles, but--while it will directly effect many titles--it's not crossing over much. The exception, evidently, is with the Flash.

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

Well, duh. Who else could zip back and forth between two titles?

Shades of when Wally was in both the JLA and the Titans at the same time...

Art Crawl!!!
I was browsing over at the DC Comics website and found that the next Outsiders arc is called Five by Five -- interesting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If Identity Crisis is in current continuity, how come Firestorm is white? Are there two of him now?

IC takes place just before the Firestorm change (although it may lead into what happened to Ronnie.)

It was the dawn of the third age...
IGN Filmforce reports that J. Michael Straczynski admits he's working on a new Babylon 5 follow-up, and that strong DVD sales are the cause:
...with the big success of the first three Babylon 5 DVD sets, talk is turning back to renewing the popular sci-fi series.
J. Michael Straczynski, the series creator, posted on a Babylon 5 newsgroup this week that he was indeed working on a follow-up. Straczynski says that phase one of this as-yet-unnamed endeavor is a go, but that he can't say anything specific about it until January 15th. In the meantime, it sounds like JMS is busy writing material for the project.
The strong revenue generated by Babylon 5 sets is certainly making the folks at Warner Home Video happy. There was an initial hesitation to even release DVDs, due to lower-than-expected sales on VHS of the series - so low, in fact, that the VHS run was cancelled before it was completed. However, many fans have spoken up since then to say that the only reason they stopped buying VHS tapes was in anticpation of DVD compilations, which were becoming popular at the time for other shows. Sales have been so brisk on these sets that Jerry Doyle, who played "Garibaldi" on the original series, commented that "If they want to do 20 years of Babylon 5, they recoup their entire production cost just one box set run of DVDs." That's certain to be an exaggeration, but certainly the idea is there that the DVD income helps immensely.
NOTE: Readers of the above article (and the IGN FilmForce article about J. Michael Straczynski's new Babylon 5 universe project) are quick to point out to me - and rightly so - that nowhere does JMS himself say that the new proposition is a TV Series. He has left the door open for the project he's working on to be a new telefilm or mini-series, a feature theatrical film, a videogame using filmed sequences, etc. One reader, Joseph DeMartino, wrote to point out that in a newsgroup post back on September 27th, JMS indicated he had 1 or 2 possible B5-related projects on the horizon, that "they're not print projects", but also that "neither of them are series". This new activity is almost certainly one of those projects he was hinting at back in the fall. So, with this information in hand, we wanted to be sure that our readers knew that this upcoming venture wouldn't be an ongoing show, but instead is a 1-time event. Nevertheless, whatever the mystery undertaking turns out to be, it's obvious that the reason JMS continues to play in the Babylon 5 universe is because of strong fan support, and that the great DVD sales is a major representation of that.
