'Just Rewards (2)'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Whatever happened to DC's notion that they were going to stick The Question in Metropolis (altering the character yet again) as part of their move to refresh Superman?
(I ask here, because I got sick of attempting to parse the bad spelling and stupid arguments on comics boards.)

I don't have an answer to that, but it's an interesting concept. Would they be allies or would Vic (I think the Question's name is Vic Sage) be trying to do his thing despite Supe's disapproval?
Now that I think about it, I seem to remember Vic's day job was reporter, but I'm not 100% on that, as it's been a loooong time since I looked at those.

I don't know too much beyond that it was going to be a six-issue mini written by, crap... what's his name. I now can no longer recall.
Oh, and that the character was going to appear older and blahblahblah, and that he'd know Lois Lane.
Yeah, Vic was a reporter.
I think all my Question stuff is in the basement. Hmm. Should dig it out.

Woohoo! My memory's not completely shot.
I should dig those out, too. I remember really liking the series a lot (I had something like the first 30 issues of the DC run).
Oh, looking at the "Who's Who in the JLU" thing -- now when I read BoP I can imagine Gina Torres' voice for Vixen!
Batmobile footage featuring the 'mobile from Batman Begins. (Link ganked from the LJ de Pete, who loses some adorable points for not having shared it here. Hrrmph.)
on edit: this is random-bystander-with-camcorder footage, shot by someone who saw them shooting in Chicago. Not spoilery, unless you don't want to see the look of the new Batmobile.
Article in SF Chron about women heroes in pop culture (Eowyn, Buffy, Xena, Wonder Woman)
She gets some important details wrong (Wonder Woman with a whip?) but it's not bad. No mention of Alias which was interesting since Sydney's about the only butt-kicking girl on TV at the moment.
The illustration was nice though.
New comics day! Who's getting what?
My list:
12-Cent Adventure
Detective Comics #797 (damn you, War Zone crossover!)
BoP #71 (damn you, wee Plei! you win this time)
last week's Ult. Spidey and Astounishing X-Men
Pretty small, so maybe I'll throw a TPB in the mix.
And whatever Ultimate War he's tracked down for me, and the Ultimate X-Mens I need to complete my collection. I suspect I'm missing Batgirl #53, so I may grab that.
