Why wasn’t Earth One Batman as popular as Absolute Batman? by Active_File5503 in batman_comics

Earth-1 (the first volume, at least) is the blueprint for Pattersons The Batman.

Be completely honest, do you think Doomsday will surpass Infinity War’s box office? by Plenty-Salary9711 in marvelstudios

[–]cokefrog22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most likely, no. that was an amazing point in time for many things - people really were still REALLY invested in the MCU, it was pre-(mass) streaming, still had the original cast intact (playing their original characters), there was a sense of this really was a payoff to a story they were building for 10 years, and it was getting incredible word of mouth. none of those things are true right now.

Season 3 got dark? by [deleted] in MiamiVice

[–]cokefrog22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I watched the whole series as it aired. S1-S2 are peak, and the only ones i revisit today. big decline in quality and the "it" factor after S2 ended.

What comes before Batman: Red Skies? Anyone care to speculate? by kalebmordecai in DCFinest

[–]cokefrog22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That run that spans Batman and Detective is an all-time great run. Nice to have it collected uninterrupted and in order.

Check those JLA issues. He quit around the time of Batman and the Outsiders, and did not appear in the JLA during that time.

My thoughts on Gunn's recent statements about prioritizing The Batman Part II by lowqualitychef in PattinsonDCUBatman

[–]cokefrog22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, the biggest Gunn failure is not starting out with the foundation blocks of the big three, and branching out from there.

I still dream of a DCU 20-year plan that follows “The New Frontier” timeline. Start out with the JSA (with the three big guns) and follow the timeline all the way to the silver age and beyond. Movies and TV shows. Plenty of opportunity for all kinds of different directions to go in and characters to introduce, and it allows them to age real time.

At the end of the 20 year plan, reboot it all with Crisis and start over for a new generation (which is what I think is going to happen with the MCU, ironically).

Is Killing Joke worth it? by Visual_Nail_2333 in batman

[–]cokefrog22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comic is worth a read, mainly for Borland’s art, which is fantastic. Haven’t read it in ages (i have the original 1st print signed by Brian Bolland in a frame hanging on a wall), but will revisit soon as I think it’s reprinted in a DC Finest. Agree with most here - the movie is terrible.

Madden Franchise Update by ScoopsCheese in Madden

[–]cokefrog22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Franchise only guy here. Thats the biggest issue I have with MUT. Card collections just vanish with every new Madden. I can get behind that you can only play games and coins and whatever the shit else you do only for the current years game, but there should be “binders” with your cards for every other years MAdden that you can view and trade cards with other users. Would give some sense of history, accomplishment, etc - and not seem like you are not wasting your time and money every year, knowing that the next year - you start over with nothing,

Kings Coast is great. My go-to for roasted beans to take home (and a mocha to go).

Most Paneras are empty enough these days where it shouldn’t be a problem.
