You evil villain you! It turned windy and cold here over the weekend. it was either read comics or watch movies and movies won out. Grit TV had a bunch of westerns which i hadn't seen before or not watched in a long time and then Sunday they had marathon of all 3 original Walking Tall movies. So hot tea and munchies all day long watching television. This weekend will be my blow through comic book weekend. I remember that they made sequels from the Walking Tall movie, but they replaced the original actor. Joe Don Baker rocks the original, while Bo Svenson did the other two and the short-lived tv series. Lurene Tuttle (Grandma Pusser), Bruce Glover, Leif Garret and Dawn Lyn are the main actors who appear in all three films. Always loved those films, as they fit perfectly into a comic book world. Pusser is sort of a law enforcement superman, with a very vigilante sense of justice.

My dad loved those movies and took us 3 boys to see each and every one as they came out and whenever there would be an all night run of them back to back. Pure B-Movie greatness all the way and both full blown comic book movies in their way.

I prefer quality over quantity. It's better to read an 11 issue run that was great than to have a team stay on past 60 issues and run out of ideas. I prefer that in non comic situations as well. It's better for someone to post on FB with something interesting every few days than for a person who posts silly comments every 15 minutes .
There I said it.

Forget a canned beer. I likes me some Guinness and toss aside that bottle of Jim Beam trading it for a nice 15+ year old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey of Glenlivet or Glenfiddich. Don't feel the need to txt/tweet/whatever or read every few minutes of the nothingness of what some self important arse is doing. Prefer reading an author who produces only a book or two in a year rather than cranking them out every 3 months. Never gone on Facebook: life is too short to endure that bit of drudgery, much rather hang with the edumacated CCF folks of the world here discussing the truly important issues!!! Like why can't Liefeld draw feet?

Like why can't Liefeld draw feet? I just joined Facebook a few months ago, and it isn't drudgery at all. More than half of my friend list on Facebook is from CCF, and there's lots of interesting comics discussion.

Dr. Dooms appearance could never work on the big screen . The mask looks goofy without the movement that artistic license provides.
There I said it.

Klytus, as played by Peter Wyngarde, disagrees. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](https://www.therobotsvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Klytus.jpg)

The notion that Batman & Superman can't be friends is a stupid one. No surprise that it originated from Frank Miller, who's proven over the years to have a fundamental misunderstanding of both characters.

I don't like Batman as he's depicted in Miller's later DC work, but I consider the DKR and Year One versions to be two of the best and most interesting interpretations of the character.

It's less that Miller set that than those less-talented individuals who followed him. Dark Knight Returns wasn't meant to be canon. Year One doesn't show Batman and Superman together. It's really not Miller's fault.

Hell, I have more respect for artists as functional adults if they don't care much about superheroes. Hashtag There_I_said_it.)

If you're a fan of their friendship you should read #37 & #38 of the current Batman series. It's a fun story that focuses on the friendship of Bruce and Clark.

Remember that Star Trek episode where one side of Frank Gorshin's face is white and the other is black and he's fighting another guy whose face is also half white/half black? But because the other guy's face is "white on the left side" Gorshin's character explains that he is therefore inferior as Kirk and Spock stare at him with a "you've completely lost us" look on their face? That's how I feel anytime a story tries to convince me that Superman and Batman are polar opposites because, I don't know, one fights crime at night and the other doesn't I guess.

It's really not Miller's fault. Actually, a wedge was driven between Superman and Batman back in Batman and the Outsiders 1 when Mike Barr had Superman acting as a government stooge trying to keep Batman in line. In the letters page for that issue (or what passed for it since there wouldn't have been letters ready to go in the first issue) Barr explained that he spoke at length with Frank Miller (still about two or three years away from doing Dark Knight) before writing the story. So, I wouldn't completely let Miller off the hook for that one. I do believe that John Byrne parroted Miller's belief that they should be odds when he did Man of Steel. Unfortunately, this time it stuck.
