Bio

Very well, where do I begin?

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles.

There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking. I highly suggest you try it.

Bruce Timm always was a bit of an uneven writer, honestly. Without Dini it became all the more apparent that he leant on Batman’s superpower of making everyone in the same room as him suddenly stupid and incompetent whilst every woman simply wanted him without significant cause. His relationships in Justice League were just horrid and very poorly written.


...He's fucking Bruce Wayne.

Saying that a woman (hell, anyone) in the DCU wouldn't want at least one crack at the Batcave is like saying "Ugh, 90's Brad Pitt mixed with the money of current Bill Gates. Go away. Shoo."

Not that I mind people swooning over Superman aswell, given that they look practically identical.
Ugh. That's something I genuinely hated about the DCAU. The blatant favoritism towards the Bat-family was bad enough in fight scenes, but then Bruce also has to become Mr. Steal-Yo-Girl when it comes to the most famous romance in the entire genre. Like there weren't enough ladies in the series hankerin' for a chance to slide down the Bat-Pole.


"Why apologize for being irresistible?"



I always liked having Lana around as Clark's inner city confidant prior to him revealing his identity to Lois, ala Superman TAS. But Lois is one of the best supporting characters in comics, in my opinion.

Infact, UOU Clark better watch out. I could have her see the benefits of having a billionaire schizophrenic martial artist vigilante to come home to...

I'm sold. Lets do it.

You can do all the hard work Master B.


I was certain you'd say this, which is why I took the liberty of drafting up some new codenames.

Obviously, you're The Speedstress. Bounce is The Neon Kid. Wraith is Demigod. Byrd is The Magical Cockney. HenryJonesJr is Bug-Girl. Morden Man is The Cosmonauts. Inkarnate is Warrior Lady. AndyC is The Indestructible T-Shirt. I'm The Mammal. And Simple Unicycle is Deathbringer, Bringer Of Death.
Hey, to be perfectly fair, DC and Marvel built themselves on the premise of actively ripping off existing IPs. You think Batman exists without Zorro and The Shadow? How about The Fantastic Four without The Justice League of America, who themselves are ripping off their own idea of The Justice Society of America? Or Superman and all of Biblical and Greek myth. Or Spider-Man and Stan Lee going "Hey, what if Robin were the main character instead if the sidekick and also had bug powers and the name of a Pulp character from the 30's?"

Gotta think like the big dogs if you want to be one.

What we need to do, is all study up to learn how to make our own animated show. Then just turn this into a TV show, make profit, and then all get sued for copyright infringement.


Or just do what @AndyC has been badgering us Hypesters to do for years by submitting our stories as-is in a brand new comic imprint, changing the names of the characters to avoid all of that. Hell, you specifically have built-in deniability.

"What? No, this isn't The Flash. The Flash isn't a girl, last I checked!"
This, but also being sold the lie of a "connected universe," yet the Netflix U shies away from even the mention of their theatrical big brothers like they're skirting a copyright lawsuit or something.


That's because they are. Ike Perlmutter being insane and isolating Kevin Fiege led to the point that Fiege had Disney kick the Trump loving/Fantastic Four hating bastard off of the film division, still leaving him firmly in control of the TV division as the President of Marvel Entertainment.
So to start todays on-topic discussion that will devolve into sexual innuendos within an hour (or less).

What's everyones favourite comic book adaptation to TV? Included Animated TV shows and Animated Movies (Because most of them are straight to home video anyway).

I know I started the conversation but I'm really having to think of my answer and can't even say my own yet.

I do have my issues with the CWs Flash, I'll say that here and now but I still enjoy it. I also know this crowd well enough not to mention the longest running show in the Flarrowends Universe.


Animated? Batman: The Animated Series, bar none. And pretty much everything from the Timmverse, including Superman, Justice League/Justice League Unlimited and Batman Beyond.

Animated Movies, there are quite a few. Mask Of The Phantasm sits at the top, followed closely by Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker, but I immensely enjoyed Batman: Under The Red Hood, Wonder Woman, Hulk Vs., Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths, Batman: Gotham Knight, Superman Vs. The Elite, Batman: Year One, Justice League: Gods And Monsters, The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 (2 wasn't as good), Batman: Assault On Arkham, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, and surprisingly, the most recent Death Of Superman movie.

Live action TV-wise, Marvel's Daredevil is not only my favorite comic book show, it's up there among Breaking Bad, Fargo, and Game Of Thrones as one of my outright favorite shows of all time. Half the reason I want to write a 13 episode Batman show is to basically ape the tone of Daredevil.

Honorable mentions go out to the Adam West Batman series, Legion, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Young Justice, Spectacular Spider-Man, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Wolverine And The X-Men, and the earliest seasons of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Agent Carter, and The Walking Dead. I came to dislike the later seasons of each of those five.
Here's the sheet, @Master Bruce. This is the Ghost Rider-y version, I'm still putting the finishing touches on the more normal one, but I figured I'd wait for a firm accept or deny on this one before I finalize on the normal one. Thanks.



With my sincerest apologies to @NinaDivine, whose unfinished Ghost Rider application I and my fellow GMs really liked, I've got to hand it to this app. Vigilante Ghost Rider is a thing I'm very much looking forward to seeing. Vigilante, as played by @DocTachyon, is hereby...
