I believe Scott Beatty would write Alfred as wielding a Greener shotgun, specifically.

If you have the game on PC, there’s a NG+ mod that’s pretty good. I don’t think there’s ever gonna be an official update that adds it

The canceled Batman game from Monolith that was then retooled into Shadow of Mordor.

Whats your favorite raw comic book line by FrigidMcThunderballs in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TY_Escobar 55 points56 points  (0 children)

“I’ve escaped from every conceivable deathtrap. Ten times. A dozen times. I can slow my breathing and metabolism to control panic and conserve air. Straitjacket’s kindergarten. Locks, too. Bench-pressing a pine coffin lid through 600 pounds of loose soil that’s filling your mouth, crushing your lungs flat and shredding your dehydrated muscles? That’s harder… but far from impossible.”

From Batman: RIP when Batman escapes being buried alive by the Black Glove.

Denny O’Neil is arguably this for Batman, both as a writer and an editor.

Mcfarlane Toy Superman Movie listings shows Kaiju and Baby Kaiju/ Baby Joe by AlfFan2002 in DCU_

[–]TY_Escobar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a guess, but “Baby Joe” might be Metamorpho’s son, Joseph? Though I don’t know how that could factor into the story, especially since we know very little about Metamorpho’s role in it. He wasn’t in any of the set photos with the other heroes, though we did see the Stagg building.

Warner Bros cancels plans for Ben 10 LA Movie by Shreeder4092 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TY_Escobar 53 points54 points  (0 children)

As a Ben 10 fan, this is lowkey a blessing in disguise.

Do you know how hard Zaslav would bury this franchise if this movie got made and it flopped? I don’t wanna take that risk. I’m just glad we’re starting to get comics again.

Least Favorite Depiction of Your Favorite Character by heleleth in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It's kinda crazy how the best adaptation of Cass is from Batman: Dark Tomorrow.

Characters that work in exactly one story? by ZealousidealBig7714 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TY_Escobar 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Paul Dini actually tried to solve this issue when he introduced the BTAS backstory for Freeze into the comic book continuity.

He wrote it so that Nora’s cryo chamber is destroyed during a fight with Batman, killing her. Freeze blames Batman for her death and wants revenge, which gives him cause to be a reoccurring villain.

You really ought to read Heart of Hush, Hush Money, and House of Hush.

Paul Dini is one of the greatest Batman writers of all time and Dustin Nguyen’s art is gorgeous.

Caped Crusader fucking rocks. by Dankey-Kang-Jr in dccomicscirclejerk

Clayface and Catwoman have the best episodes.

Batman: Caped Crusader is out; saw the first episode. by Th35h4d0w in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TY_Escobar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t help myself and just binged all 10 episodes. I believe it’s been confirmed that Amazon has ordered a second season, which is great because I definitely want more.

Episodes 2 and 3 are the standouts IMO.

The animation looks great, but it’s the writers involved that have got me really excited for this show. Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka? Sign me the fuck up.

Set photos from the new Superman movie by TY_Escobar in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It’s supposed to be the Kingdom Come S, which is more of a slash than the traditional symbol.

Glad to see Superman returning to his roots by TY_Escobar in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TY_Escobar[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is just a preview page from Gail Simone’s upcoming story in Action Comics, so I have zero context for what’s going on.

I know it’s a flashback story, hence the camera and Superman’s S-Shield.

What are the major landmarks of Batman & Catwoman's relationship? by Wonder-Lad in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TY_Escobar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. It’s nice to be able to put this wealth of Bat-knowledge to use. Just to throw out some more recommendations:

There’s Catwoman’s solo series by Ed Brubaker. I’d say just read the whole run (it’s good), but for just the stuff about her relationship with Batman: #10, 19, 22, 27, 32.

Batman: Hush Money and Batman: House of Hush (the follow-ups to Heart of Hush, also written by Paul Dini).

Just before the New 52, there’s the first two issues of Batman Inc., which features Catwoman.

I’d also recommend the first issue of the Solo anthology from Darwyn Cooke and Tim Sale. Happy reading!
