I thought it would nice to have a thread so we can all chat with each other but not clutter up the other threads while we do it.

Great idea too quozl. :thumbsup: I am gonna sticky this thread actually.

[Griffin]

So I have a question. Can anyone figure out what the Hammer Drone from Burger King is going to be used for?

[DEATHWALKER 1970]

A BIG, if belated, HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Bats! :D

P.s. I am going to hit the big FOUR OH in two weeks time...
Time to grow up and stop playing with little toy men, so if you want me to look at any more works in progress, hurry up!

Just kidding, still loving my Heroscape, and don´t expect that to change for the foreseable future... ;)

After a long period of time, I have come to the conclusion that this guy will be used for.....some big robot/mechanical-based guy! Well, am I right:p?

[tcglkn]

I think he's gonna be used for, drumroll please........ A hammer drone! :lol:

[IAmBatman]

You guys are awesome. :-) I was so busy with birthday stuff yesterday, I missed this thread. Great idea, quozl!

[Master Tang]

He won't be a Hammer Drone because he will be a unique hero. You have have him as Titanium Man or possibly Whiplash from the movie. On a side-note, Whiplash Whopper at BK is delicious.

[IAmBatman]

Why couldn't a Hammer Drone be a Unique Hero? Anything we only want to do one of could be a Unique Hero.
... But it's not anything I've seen listed thus far. :-D
Also, moving this over here for discussion:

My top five in no particular order would probably be:
Bullseye
Bob
Robin
Gambit (I'm 90% sure he is already being put through the machine)
Hercules or possibly Spider-Thor (the figure makes it all worth while)

Which Robin? Any of those on this list would be fun, I think. :-)


I fulfill all of the criteria for a Design Pass except for having enough Ally Reward Points (I'm short 1 playtest).

As soon as I finish typing up my Black Mask Playtest Report I will have completed all of the criteria for a Design Pass including for having enough Ally Reward Points

My top 5 in no particular order:

Sinestro Corps - Uncommon Hero (Arkillo needs someone to chomp other than Sinestro)
Domino - She's got 9 points on the requested list, and I've got a good idea where to go with her
Paramadic - Common Hero. The common squads are some of my favorite C3G creations. A Common Hero is something else Superscape lacks.
Who ever you want to throw at me.

I didn't even know who Arkillo was before his thread, but now I'm chomping at the bit to play him. If I'm vested in it, I'll do the research.

I'm really hoping you go with the Uncommon Sinestro Corps guys to make Arkillo work to his full potential. Now that we're cracking on Arkillo and Sinestro and have Hal out and some other things in the works, I'm really eager to start really rounding out the Green and Yellow Lantern Corps. :-)

[Griffin]

OK, there is something you must all know, this guy's height is Huge 13.
http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/content/12320storystory_full-3069235..jpg

HINT
And he can't think for himself :twisted:

[Master Tang]

Can we have a hint if it's marvel or dc? lol

[Griffin]

Can we have a hint if it's marvel or dc? lol
Nope. :p


He was not formed by the hands of man, and he is not what he appears to be.

He cannot think for himself, because he is controlled by someone else.

[Adam Souza]

Got :ninja:

[Hahma]

There will be no painting required.

[IAmBatman]

I've got it! It's ...

Barbara Eden!

[A3n]

I've got it! It's ...

Barbara Eden!

But I would count requiring make-up as requiring to be painted, so acording to hahma it can't be here :D.

[Master Tang]

Is it a Transformer?lol

[Lord Pyre]

It's a skrull posing as a robot!

[IAmBatman]

Is it a Transformer?lol

Not a real one, no. :-D

It's a skrull posing as a robot!

No, but you could argue that it's one thing posing as another, I suppose. Not a Skrull by any means, though.

[Adam Souza]

Big Guy, from Big Guy and Rusty !!

[Spidey'tilIDie]

A Robeast for Voltron!!! J/k

[Griffin]

Still no takers. Somehow I knew someone would guess a Skrull, oh and the Transformer was actually a good guess, wrong, but good. Transformers are Marvel characters.

[Master Tang]

Is it Mr.Impossible?

[Xn F M]

Every time I see that robot, I keep thinking of Brainulo and his robot on the Venture Brothers . . . .

[Hahma]

Wow, there certainly are some creative guesses out there. :)

[gorthan313]

It's Iron Man's latest outfit!

[Adam Souza]

It's Iron Man's latest outfit!

I was going to say an Iron Man Argo Armor, but the heads all wrong.

You can't really google for a green robots that's not really a robot and get any useful clues

[Griffin]

It's Iron Man's latest outfit!
I will remind you that the figure's height is Huge 13. So where Iron Man could fit into the suit, he doesn't have any suits that large. :) Keep guessing.

[whitestuff]

Easy, Ironman gave the Hulk a suit. :)

[Griffin]

Hmmm... what is big, green, and like a machine?

[Griffin]

Easy, Ironman gave the Hulk a suit. :)
:lol: I totally forgot about the Iron Man-Buster Hulk suit. :roll:

[Master Tang]

I'm a giant green robot-like thing. I can't think for myself and I'm controlled by others. I was not formed by the hands of man, and I'm really a robot. I'm also 13 levels tall which is more than twice as tall as Captain America so I'm probably around 15 feet tall.Who Am I?

Griff's attempt at a Riddler's Riddle?


Also while looking on Google about giant robots I found this (http://jamius.com/Robot/Robot.html). It's pretty interesting so check it out.

Ding, ding, ding! Winner, winner, chicken dinner! :-)

[Master Tang]

Titanium Man !!!

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/d/dc/Titanium_Man_II.jpg
lol I said that too.

[Master Tang]

Which is the winner?

[IAmBatman]

I'll let Griff confirm it, since this is his thing. :-)

[Master Tang]

I'm going to go with Energy Construct, considering I said Titanium Man in the 2nd page. That's pretty cool.

[Griffin]

This year, C3G and Kyle Raynor are going Green!!!!

[Adam Souza]

YAY !!
Sinestro's yellow construct gets a play mate


http://iconusa3.com/online/Images/Sinestro.jpg

HELPFUL HINT: You can rip the Yellow Construct in half at the waste and release Sinestro from it. Then you have 2 figures.

[Master Tang]

C3G is going to start making Cash? Made a deal with Hasbro?lol

Nope. We're recycling Heroclix figures into something useful.......Heroscape figures!

I don't make a habit out of "ripping" $60 figures in half.... but good luck with that. ;)

[Master Tang]

I've seen him for $30. lol

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I don't anticipate designing anything for that figure any time soon. :-P Too expensive even for me!

$60 :shock:

I'm putting mine on Ebay :twisted:

When I googled for that pic they were $30. About the same price as the Antimonitor and cheaper than the Sentinels I've seen.

Of course you could pretty much just spray paint any 7" figure Yellow and call it day, for a lot less.

Do you have $1 stores in your area ? Mine has yellow transparent Ninjas....

[Hahma]

I'm going to go with Energy Construct, considering I said Titanium Man in the 2nd page. That's pretty cool.


Pretty neat unit to be sure. Just got done doing prelim playtest. :D

[Lord Pyre]

I've seen him for $30. lol

Well, if you rip him in half, wouldn't he be worth only $30, then?

:p

[Griffin]

I've seen him for $30. lol

Well, if you rip him in half, wouldn't he be worth only $30, then?

:p
That is true. :lol:

[tcglkn]

I've seen him for $30. lol

Well, if you rip him in half, wouldn't he be worth only $30, then?

:p
That is true. :lol:

No because you'll still have 2 halves. If you lose one half, then its worth thirty. :roll: ;)

[Master Tang]

I've seen him for $30. lol

Well, if you rip him in half, wouldn't he be worth only $30, then?

:p
That is true. :lol:
Nah, then it'd only be $10 a half, plus $10 for Sinestro.

Also, w00t 3rd bulb.

Green Lantern Optimus Prime exists in reality?

[Adam Souza]

Now that I'm eligible for a design pass, I'm curious.

Will we have to wait untill Arkillo is finished, or the coming of the next wave before someone can cash in the next design pass ?

Green Lantern Optimus Prime exists in reality?

Yes.

On Earth 5367 to be exact.

[IAmBatman]

Until Arkillo is finished and voted forward for release.

[Adam Souza]

Until Arkillo is finished and voted forward for release.

Excellent.

That should keep 1 design in progress at all times to keep those of us without the nifty secret super access busy.

[IAmBatman]

That's the plan. :-)

But one is the loneliest number.

Hey Griff, I didn't know you were an Admiral (http://www.comicvine.com/admiral-amise-griff/29-69990/). :D

[Adam Souza]

lol. A 4-day weekend gives me plenty of time. I have a job, maybe once a month, when I'm guilted into doing it, for people who spoil me, pushing a lawn mower around while listening to MP3s, leaving little lawn mohawks, and ignoring all the weeds up against the house and back wall.



Fixed



I plan on getting some playtesting done tonight, after I assemble McDooms.





Maybe this will inspire you to make more urban terrain like you planned to at one time. Can't wait to see it on Friday/Saturday.

I planned all that Urban Terrain for ALL THINGS ZOMBIE. I'm not super crazy about putting squarish buildings on top of Hex Terrain.

McDooms will be an experiment to see how that works out.

It's hard to catch all the mistakes when you don't have much input. Currently I have the Fantastic Four up, but they don't have figures, hitzones (no figures, no accurate hitzones), or points.

Question for you all:

How much regular Heroscape do you play?

How much Superscape do you play?

How much mixed Heroscape do you play?

[Adam Souza]

How much regular Heroscape do you play?

Used to be all Classic for me until I got involved with C3G.

How much Superscape do you play?

I play Superscape 1 night a week

How much mixed Heroscape do you play?

Pretty much none. Although occasionally we'll dip into classic for a low point cost Army Card to round out a team.

[quozl]

How much regular Heroscape do you play?

When the fever's on, daily.

How much Superscape do you play?

Pure Superscape is still pretty rare for me.

How much mixed Heroscape do you play?

Almost all our games are mixed unless we're preparing for a tournament.

[1Mmirg]

I play Heroscape (roughly) every other day. My son wants to play every day, but we don't really pull it off daily (you know, life, job, other kids, etc.). Plus, we do family games about once every other week or so and group games at the local game shop about every month or so and group games at my house about every few months.

My son prefers the Supers, so they get played the most right now. We often play mixed (I like mixing in some squads), maybe even more than pure Supers (usually), but we do plenty of pure Supers as well. (Green Lanturn and Black Panther are frozen in a death match on my Heroscape table as I type...waiting...)

In the last week (as an example), we've played at least 2 pure Supers, 1 pure Valhalla, and at least 1-2 mixed, iirc.

So quick answers:

A) Most weeks (at least every other)
B) Many days (at least a game, sometimes 2-3 a week)
C) A lot (at least a game or two a week, sometimes more)

[IAmBatman]

How much regular Heroscape do you play?


I used to play it as often or more than super stuff before C3G expanded the superscape options for me.

How much Superscape do you play?


More and more all the time - though it's mostly playtesting! :-)

How much mixed Heroscape do you play?


Less and less all the time. I used to play mixed quite often, but that was more due to not having enough superscape options than anything. Now I have a lot of superscape options and I'm combining less and less.

[Master Tang]

How much regular Heroscape do you play?

Almost never. Maybe once a month.

How much Superscape do you play?

Two times a week, unless Playtesting counts then more.

How much mixed Heroscape do you play?

Almost never, except like Adam said when we need a lowbie to round out a team (usually Isamu with someone like Solomon Grundy, or my Deadpool).

[IAmBatman]

We're definitely conscious of the need for more filler heroes. It's hard to squeeze them in when there are so many more iconic guys we want to do, but there are a few that will be in the works soon (or already are).

[Master Tang]

Well Sinestro Corps Uncommon Heroes should fit that bill.

[IAmBatman]

I dunno, they should be pretty tough. I wouldn't be shocked to see them over 200 points.
I'm talking more units under 100 - even under 80.

[Master Tang]

I dunno, they should be pretty tough. I wouldn't be shocked to see them over 200 points.
I'm talking more units under 100 - even under 80.
I was thinking more card board infantry,

So you want second string characters like Domino, Bob, Mr. Immortal, Captain Cold, and such?

[Griffin]

Well Sinestro Corps Uncommon Heroes should fit that bill.
I doubt that they will be cheap fillers though.


How much regular Heroscape do you play?

Just official Valhalla Scape? Once every two months. I have several copies of everything and I use to play once or twice a week for 4-6 hours per session for 3 years.... I am bit burnt out.

How much Superscape do you play?

A couple hours every other night. :addicted: I love comics, my daughters love comics, and I love having something to do with them and in my personal down time that floods my imagination with the characters that I have been in love with for 25 years.

How much mixed Heroscape do you play?

Every once in a while when I need some fillers, or specific units for testing strategies with C3G stuff.

[Griffin]

I dunno, they should be pretty tough. I wouldn't be shocked to see them over 200 points.
I'm talking more units under 100 - even under 80.
I was thinking more card board infantry,

So you want second string characters like Domino, Bob, Mr. Immortal, Captain Cold, and such?Captain Cold is the freaking leader of the Flash Rouges dude, no way should he be filler. He should cost about as much as Spiderman.

In my mind, that is filler :twisted:. I don't know,every time I play I tend to play higher point characters, mostly from the repetive trauma of being r**ed by friends super broken customs and having to use Hulk to fight them off. For some reason I am excited about an eventual Captain Cold, I like the alliteration, Onomatopoeia is also on the list of my favorite villains. lol


I apologize for including Captain Cold, I was mostly labeling people that I know under 200 pts, and I couldn't thinkl of anyone on DC side. :oops:

[Lord Pyre]

This is why we need Kick-Ass Heroclix! :p

What about the Runaways figures they just came out with in the Thor set? Talkback would be pretty cheap. Nico might be a bit more powerful, but not as much as Raven (If we get around to Teen Titans), in my opinion. I don't know how you'd do Arsenic and Old Lace, though, since both are on the base.

So . . . guys like Howard the Duck then? ;)

[Griffin]

I think that both versions of Speedy (male and female) could be really cheap, like 50-80 points.

[Master Tang]

Speedy would be cool, I could see making more squads that would be filler, should we start brainstorming idea's for cheap heroes? I mean more than just tossing out some small ideas.

[quozl]

Congrats Griff!

Hey give the dude credit, he had to get Mrs. Griff in the mood :P

[IAmBatman]

:toast:Good luck, dude! Here's to making more C3G Superheroines and Supervillainesses for them to play with!

[A3n]

I gotta go take my wife to the hospital right now to deliver our third baby!!! :woot:
:toast: Congratulations Griff on another scaper to be :D.

[Hidicul]

congrats Griff

[SirGalahad]

From one who has been to all four of our deliveries, kudos to you for being there for her. So many dads aren't.

[wulfhunter667]

So, I know I'm not exactly C3G but I was wondering if I might get a little assist here. I started a thread in the main section of this forum for cleaned-up figure art to be added to backgrounds for figure cards. I was wondering if any of you would be willing to contribute to this thread at all. It would certainly help those of us with limited time and shortened patience with graphics programs. Any assistance would be appreciated, or you could just tell me to go away. I'm good either way. ;)

PS Congrats Griff. Here's to 18 more years of pain, torment and impending teenage angst wrapped up in a cute little bundle of Grifflet. :twisted:

[Lord Pyre]

Just so you guys know, the Black Mask card is in the gallery, not so secret anymore... :p

He's pretty awesome, but I'm disappointed he doesn't have 5 or 6 life. In the comics, he's been beat up, blown up, and whatever else and he just keeps going because of his philosophy that true strength is the ability to withstand pain. (The few comics I've actually read were with Mask, because he's my favorite villain)


...But I'm sure you guys did him just fine, haha! ;) I love it that he shoots his people, hehe...

[Xn F M]

I need to track down some more Street Thugs. . . .

[Felindar]

As for its impact on Marvel Heroscape? I doubt we'll see any. I'm fairly certain our beloved offshoot is deader than Jason Todd.

Hey since he is back as the Red Hood. Dose that mean there is hope?:rofl:

It's in the gallery with the C3G tag. Probably just a mistake.

[tcglkn]

A3n uploaded it there. Is it the official one?

[IAmBatman]

Nothing is official until it's officially released. :-)

[tcglkn]

Nothing is official until it's officially released. :-)

So whats up with the nasty little teaser? :lol:

[Balantai]

You can say it's not official, Bats, but that card is in the final revision stage. We're not going to see any changes without some major revoting on your end. Odds are, that's the final version. :neener:

Well, since we aren't getting D2 teases yet, it's great to get a C3G tease :).

Me too. Maybe we'll just sic a llama on him. :-D

[IAmBatman]

Thank you, sir. :-)

I'll only show Back Mask to the Street Thugs.

Congrats Mr & Mrs Griffin. :D
:rofl: So... true. I call Mrs. Griff my "Warrior Princess", she is so amazing. Until you (anyone) stands by the side of a woman for her entire pregnancy, there is no way to know just how much they sacrifice themselves to bring that life into the world. It is the most amazing love that anyone could ever speak of.
So the big surprise is that our new baby is BOY! :woot: It was a total surprise, and a welcome one.

Thanks for all the congrats from everyone, I love this site, and all you guys are awesome. :)

~ Griff, getting his kindness out of his system early this month :lol:

Also, the Black Mask leak is funny to me. It reminds me of a fuzzy picture of certain figures behind a glass case at Gencon. ;)


Oh, I am still here at the Hospital, and they have a private computer room set up for me, for "business". :lol:

[A3n]

Jonathan (also known as J.D.) is very healthy and beautiful. ;)

Though I am nice now, it doesn't mean I didn't run down some pushy nurses and doctors who tried to basically force me to give my son some tests and medicine that I had already declined. You know me, I am always happiest when I have a fight. :twisted:

You might want to watch the Warrior Princess stuff though. I still get grief over one miss spoken comment Asking if anyone had seen Deena the warrior princess last night. My love turned beet red as all my friends asked her where she got her armor.

Good call. I am the kinda guy who reads everything.... everything. I got stared down and huffed at because a very "busy" nurse was frustrated that I wouldn't just sign a 6 page packet Release of Rights form. I asked her "are you crazy?" "This is a form that is giving my rights, my wife's rights, and my child's rights up and over to this hospital, what kinda of stupid, ignorant, neglectful father do you think I am?" "I will read the forms, and take my time thank you very much."

Oh how nice the people in the medical profession are... :roll: Though they are not all bad of course. We have a few nurses and doctors here that we love very much. :D

Believe me when I tell you, nurses have one of the toughest jobs around and have to deal with a ton of crap from a ton of people and have huge responsibilities compared to most professions by a ton. I've learned a great deal about the inner workings of a hospital since I've been working at one for the past two years. Heck I just learned yesterday that one of the OB/GYN doctors I've seen around (an older guy) is going to stop delivering babies and just do the other part of the job as his insurance will be cut in half. Right now he's paying $90,000/year for insurance. So yeah, I'd stop delivering babies if I could save $45,000/year. In fact, I've heard that there are fewer doctors getting into that field of delivering babies because it cost too much. Lots of expenses being a doctor and lots of expenses running a hospital. In fact, I also just learned that the hospital I work at only gets like 14% reimbursed for medicaid patients and have to right off the rest. In some other situations they only get reimbursed for like 3 days stay and after that, they lose money. Crazy stuff, the hospital business.

It is crazy. And the more the Government gets involved with it, the worse it is going to get... for everyone ..... except the Insurance companies.

[Adam Souza]

I've been working in the medical field for over a decade, and let me assure you that, like every other field, there are good and bad eggs.

That being said however, the people that make up Nursing is an interesting lot.

A few of them are in it because they want to care for people.
Most of the new generation is in it because it's an "in demand" field and the pay is excellent and there are more job openings than they can fill.
The cliche of young women looking for a Doctor to marry is absolutely forfilled in every hospital. Single, and heck even married, Doctors have more attention that they know what to do with.

Pardon, the rant, I digress...

Maternity Nurses come in 3 distinct flavors
* AWESOME - Super Moms of Nursing
* MAN HATING - They can avoid male patients in Maternity
* LAZY - They thought that working with babies and post partum mothers would be easy

Okay, I'm done ranting for now.

[tcglkn]

Hey guys, I am making customs, but I am kinda at a stop right now because I can't decide who I want to make next. Any suggestions? I have some ideas, I just can't decide... :duh:

I agree Adam, I know there are some rotten apples to be sure, believe me I know some real biatches on the nursing staff and some real jag doctors. But there are some awesome ones as well and those get more attention when it comes to doing work orders in their areas.

And it's not only nurses chasing doctors, it many different people chasing lots of different people and like you said, some are single and some act like they are single.

I do know that the Execs don't care how long someone's been at this hospital and how much someone's given to it, they will fire you in a heartbeat if you don't watch your step. Director of Nursing for a units goes to bat to stick up for her nurses that are getting screwed over, and what does she get for her trouble, fired.

There was a CEO here before I got here that nearly ran the place into the ground. Spending big $ to get his office remodeled, taking a limo to work every day on the hospital's dime and having BMW's for his executive cronies paid for by the hospital. Cutting jobs left and right and when some doctors had a problem with this guy, he told them they knew where the door was and could be replaced. Well that CEO had eventually been bought out with a several million dollar buy out and the hospital is still recovering from the loss of the many doctors that left because of him and took their patients with them. Oh yeah, and there were other million dollar expenditures contracts that this CEO awarded to cronies of his where he got a piece of the action. Joy, joy. :x

Bizzaro Batman reminds me of a certain Batman we all know and love. :p jk
And 2nd of all Griff is working on a Penguin currently (Just in case no one noticed). :p Griff is in love with Batman's Arch-Enemies. Admittedly, I appreciate it because I like having a nice variety of villains. :twisted:

I do love my villains. I think that the villains in comic books are overall far more interesting than the Heroes, plus it keeps things interesting when the Heroes are outnumbered, which is what I am going for. :twisted:

I can't, in all honesty, say that Batman has the greatest villains. I do like them but think about it.

WARNING BATMAN VILLAIN RANT
Ooooh, the Joker, he's like the psychotic clown that murders people....ok?

Penguin is a rich guy that has all penguin/bird theme stuff and his robberies tend to be bird themed too. meh.

Riddler....makes riddles and steals stuff.

Catwoman....acts like a cat, but is mostly around for Batman to have a sexual interest.

Scarecrow dresses up like a scarecrow and uses drugs to scare people,but usually goes down like a chump. The drug part is cool, but the rest is meh.

Two Face was a good lawyer, who turned bad when his faced was burned with acid. Don't know why, but now he wants to kill everyone (in the movie he wants to kill everyone except the guy responsible, I do love the movie Joker tho.)

Mr.Freeze.....Do you know what killed the dinosaurs?....THE ICE AGE!!!

All that aside I still love those villains, but would not say they were the "greatest".

[A3n]

I also think Batman has the best villains, the next closest I would say would probably be Spidey.

~I still think Superman is the best hero though. :D

Cheers

I don't feel like defending them in detail, but there really is a lot of good character development which each villain (especially Two-Face dude, come on) and that is why I think so many people love them.
With that said though, all comic Heroes and Villains are cheesy little versions of how we either see our selves or would like to see ourselves. They are the modern day Greek gods and goddesses of western culture.

And sorry, but Superman is the worst! :p I hate him so!

[Master Tang]

On the conversation of Batman vs. Superman as best hero I do like Batman more but you can't argue with the basic facts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01vojXK_mnA), as these videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeT1t0lQn5Q&NR=1) prove.lol. Just thought you'd enjoy these videos when they are semi-relevant to the conversation.

"This guy is so fragile one bullet can kill him. One Bullet!"
"Bullets...isn't that what killed your parents?My parents died because the planet blew up.Kinda puts that whole bullet thing in perspective, huh?Yea...um...Deep."

Also thanks for humoring me with a response, Griff. I like your comparison to super heroes vs. ancient Greek gods and goddesses, I was thinking something to that effect the other day because how we idolize super heroes.

[Lord Pyre]

Alright, I'll bite, haha!


Ooooh, the Joker, he's like the psychotic clown that murders people....ok?So why is he not only Batman's greatest villain, but the greatest villain of all time? Because he is Batman. He's Batman's evil twin basically, holding dear to his heart everything that Batman has sworn to destroy. Most villains have intricate plans to further their evil needs, but Joker does everything for nothing more than fun. He can't be stopped, because there really is nothing to stop. If you throw him in Arkham, he'll have a laugh about it and break out. And if he doesn't succeed in breaking out, he still wins because it was a fun try.

Penguin is a rich guy that has all penguin/bird theme stuff and his robberies tend to be bird themed too. meh.Penguin's not the greatest, no. But all he is is a fat gangster, basically. No powers, nothing. And that's one of the main reasons I love Batman. He feels so much more real because most things about him aren't as outlandish as other heroes.


Riddler....makes riddles and steals stuff.Riddler's kinda weird. But in the same way as Joker, he likes playing games. He's not nearly as deranged as Joker, but mostly he steals stuff and has a bit of run while doing it. If Bats catches him, then darn it, he'll have to think of better riddles next time. :p

Catwoman....acts like a cat, but is mostly around for Batman to have a sexual interest.She really doesn't act like a cat. She's just a cat burglar, and a darned good one. She used to be a minor villain, but eventually turned hero, realizing that her skills could be used for something. And sometimes she's used as a romantic interest for Bats, but I'm pretty sure that Bats doesn't need any women; he's Batman.

Scarecrow dresses up like a scarecrow and uses drugs to scare people,but usually goes down like a chump. The drug part is cool, but the rest is meh.The movie version of him was amazing. I loved him as a drug dealer, hehe... But in the comics he's usually a minor villain. He can cause lots of problems if he puts his fear toxins in the right places, but the simple concept of a villain based totally on fear counteracts the concept of a hero totally based on fear. ;)

Two Face was a good lawyer, who turned bad when his faced was burned with acid. Don't know why, but now he wants to kill everyone (in the movie he wants to kill everyone except the guy responsible, I do love the movie Joker tho.)
Two Face is a tragic hero, and his story is way too long to summarize. Just look at the Dark Knight. He lost his fiance, and while his mind was in disarray, he was deceived by the Joker (Who did it all for laughs anyway!).

Mr.Freeze.....Do you know what killed the dinosaurs?....THE ICE AGE!!! ICE to meet you! AHAHAHAHA!
Seriously, I liked that movie; stop dissing it! ;)

But really, Freeze is another tragic villain. He turned to crime after his accident, because he needed money to save his dying wife. He's practically Doc Ock from Spider-Man 2, except his wife is still alive (I'm pretty sure; she might have died sometime, but as far as I know she's alive).

...And you left out my favorite villain (Alright... tied with Joker...), the only other villain (Besides Joker) who has killed one of Batman's Robins, the man who singlehandedly tool over Gotham City in just a few days....
BLACK MASK!
Black Mask is pretty similar to Joker. Except he rarely laughs. He much more sarcastic, throws a few good jokes here and there, but then proceeds to torture you for information... or just because. He the most ruthless crime lord there is, once even nearly killing Scarecrow (Who loved Mask's work and decided to follow him around while Mask took over Gotham) by throwing him in one of Batman's traps after he ran out of minions to throw.

And heck; he tortured a Robin to DEATH!!!

I think if Superman acted more like he did in those videos, then I would like him more. lol.

I think the Batman movies did a good job with the villains, they made them realistic and interesting.
Ra Al Ghul was done pretty nicely. I liked how they showed him and I thought his deviousness fit his character nicely.
Scarecrow was amazing. His fear toxin made the movie very interesting and I liked how they put the spin of him as a drug dealer.
Two-Face was done very well. I enjoyed him killing everyone involved in the death of his girlfriend.(the car one was the best, driver wasn't so lucky lol).
Joker was absolutely amazing. He made that movie entirely worth it for me. (without him it still would've been a good movie, but with him it was an A+ in my book)

[IAmBatman]

Batman villains are great not for what they are in their own right, but because they each pull out different aspects of one of the greatest (if not the greatest) character's in comics. They each offer Batman a sounding board for a different part of his personality.
Joker challenges his sense of a fair and ordered universe with his randomness and love for death.
Two-Face challenges his sense of justice and thoughts that the system can enact it and that it can be enacted non-lethally. He tempts Batman to cross the lines of vigilantism he does not wish to cross.
Penguin challenges Batman's corporate self - his use of money and connections by offering a counter example of a rich, connected individual on the other side of the law.
Riddler challenges Batman's puzzle solving brain - his greatest detective side.
Ra's lets Batman show off his international secret agent side and challenges his devotion to fighting crime on the small scale with large scale clandestine rationalizations. He also challenges his orphan longing - his longing to have a family to belong to once more.
Scarecrow challenges the man who uses fear as a weapon to face his own greatest fears.
Catwoman tempts his creature of the night side, and his beastial sexuality.
I could go on and on, but these are just a few examples. His villains are great not for what they do on their own, but for what they bring out and showcase in Batman himself.

I loved the beginning, especially when he was flying drunk, but the whole second half of the movie just sucked. They tried to add too much plot and seriousness to something that didn't need it.

And it didn't make any sense at the end.

Biased or not, the man is right. The story aspects of Batman are just phenomenal. The villains are a huge part of that. In my totally biased agreement with Bats, I have to say that of any of the really iconic heroes, Batman's world is the richest. But, then, I admit, I am biased. ;)

[Hidicul]

I never said I didn't agree with Bats, I just couldn't resist the comment since he was the one to post that review. For a long time Batman was all I would read;) Of course that was before my discovery of X-men, then it was a tie.

My quick and cheap method:

1. Print out the C3G card on regular paper.
2. Laminate it. (I have a cheap laminator you can get at craft stores.)
3. Pop off the bottom of the Heroclix base.

Added steps for those minis that need it:

a. Sand down the base so it fits in a ladder rung.
b. Break off the flying stand, drill a hole in the base and glue the mini in the hole.

I watched the mortal kombat video. Now don't get me wrong, I love what Nolan did with Batman, but Hollywood needs to get off their kick of putting fantasy characters into the real world. I mean come on, reptile is a dude with a skin disease? Baraka is a dude that goes Reynolds Deadpool on his arms? This just doesn't work and as a mortal kombat fan it made me sick. I was half expecting "jacks" to say during his rundowns, "this is Barry liebowitz, he was a contractor specializing in basic home electrical, non union of course but he still did good work. Installed a mean track lighting system in my breakfast nook. Not overpowering, just very tasteful for the decor. That was until the real estate colapse hit and he went out of work and began tazing people. Codename Rayden." F you Hollywood.

I do agree with you, but I am not sure that this is a real movie. From what I could find to read, this may just be a one time (expensive) trailer to promote a game or a career of a certain director. Do you know if anything is confirmed?

[Master Tang]

From what I read when I found that video, nothing is 100% confirmed. It is on imbd.com (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293429/) though giving the year of 2013 as the publish date. From what the site says it was going to be rebooted by Warner Bros., but there is licensing issues with Threshold Entertainment.

On a side note, as a teenager I was talking to my friends about this movie and we were all pretty happy about it. Yes, it's different then what Mortal Kombat originally was,but then again I didn't care for the original movies and I am a very minor fan of the game (out of all the games I played Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe the most).

[IAmBatman]

I'm sure I won't be watching it either way ... :reapershrug:

Well on a different note, Captain America is going to look different than what I expected him to look. I was hoping for some version of the scale armor that would look cool. He doesn't look bad, just not exactly what I expected.
Thor looks pretty awesome tho.

[Hidicul]

I think there are to many factors to really be sure. It depends on what characters they put in it, the actors who they get, the plot, and effects. Those are the main factors that I can think of. The firsy two are the biggest for me, I mean could you picture it if they left Superman out? Also the actors can ruin it as far as I'm concerned, I still rant sometimes about Aflec portraying Dare Devil. He really ruined that movie for me, the only sveing grace was Jennifer Garner playing Elecktra :drool:

[Hahma]

My concern with that and is for the Avengers is how do they do it and get all the hero and villain characters in there and with enough face time for them without feeling too crowded. Hopefully with the Avengers solo prequels they can establish the characters enough that would allow them to appear in a group movie without re-hashing any background crap. I'd say they might have to do that with the Justice League as well to have it be successful. I'd think that perhaps Batman and Superman might have to have lesser roles to get the others in as we've seen plenty of Batman and Superman in movies and I'd personally want to see more of the others in a JL movie.

Yes I'll totally agree, Aflec killed DD, but what really broke my heart is when Nick Cage brutally violated the role of Ghost Rider. Cage was far too old to play Johnny Blaze. Maybe they coulda used some of that movie CG to take the old off that guy...

Looking forward to the Jonah Hex Movie, even though the origin of his facial scar has been changed. I guess it would be hard to put the back story of being raised by Apatchie Indians in 2 hrs and make it go with the rest of their movie...

Hollywood is officially killing my childhood heroes...

Well with Christopher Nolin and Geoff Johns starting to take over the creative side of movie media for DC/Warner Bros, I think things are starting to look up. Christopher Nolin for example has been made the "Shepherd" of all things DC/Movie related once the last Harry Potter movie is over. After that movie, Warner Bros is going to focus everything on making Super Hero movies with Nolin as the Head Honcho. Also, Geoff Johns has been a constant creative and DC historic resource for WB for the animation films and the upcoming Green Lantern film. Things are looking up. 8)

I don't know where you got that info, but I am fairly certain that the JLA bit is completely not true. Sure WB would eventually like to do that, there is no promise, script, plans, not even rumors of that happening anytime within the next decade. Also, Superman 2? What the heck dude? That is completely misleading. Christopher Nolin has been chosen by WB to "Shepherd" the complete reboot of the Superman franchise. WB and Nolin have both said that it will be in its own universe like Batman, and have nothing to do with any other film, especially the failed Superman Returns. WB wants to desperately get away from its failure of that film. Superman "Man of Steel" will take place during Superman's career, so this is not an Origin Story at all. Lex will be in it, but Brainiac is the main villain. David Goyer (Nolin's right hand writing man) is currently writing the script, and Johnathan Nolin (C. Nolin's little brother) will be the director. Nolin will not say much more beyond that because he wants to market and advertise his newest film "Inception" to be released next summer. After that, Nolin says that he will be finishing up his last Batman movie, and then he will be focused on rebooting Superman "Man of Steel", not Superman 2!

I don't know where you got that info, but I am fairly certain that the JLA bit is completely not true. Sure WB would eventually like to do that, there is no promise, script, plans, not even rumors of that happening anytime within the next decade. Also, Superman 2? What the heck dude? That is completely misleading. Christopher Nolin has been chosen by WB to "Shepherd" the complete reboot of the Superman franchise. WB and Nolin have both said that it will be in its own universe like Batman, and have nothing to do with any other film, especially the failed Superman Returns. WB wants to desperately get away from its failure of that film. Superman "Man of Steel" will take place during Superman's career, so this is not an Origin Story at all. Lex will be in it, but Brainiac is the main villain. David Goyer (Nolin's right hand writing man) is currently writing the script, and Johnathan Nolin (C. Nolin's little brother) will be the director. Nolin will not say much more beyond that because he wants to market and advertise his newest film "Inception" to be released next summer. After that, Nolin says that he will be finishing up his last Batman movie, and then he will be focused on rebooting Superman "Man of Steel", not Superman 2!

Yes but they have to have all production on the movie done before sometime in 2013 when WB looses the rights to Superman forever.

I found them on the web. It's early concept art so it may change but from what I gather it's definitely official art and not fan-made. Here are a few articles where I got the info on it:

Thanks dude! they're looking good, would have loved them to make it look older, and less sci-fi but all in all it's looking good right ?

OK, so I have a question for all you comic geeks; Can a live action Justice League movie ever be successful? Also, Do you think one will ever be made?

They can't and will not loose any rights forever or ever... Here is what you are looking for:
August 2009 saw a court ruling in which Jerry Siegel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Siegel)'s family recaptured the rights to Superman's origins and Siegel's copyright in Action Comics 1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Comics_1), while the Shuster estate had also won a court ruling similar to the Siegal case. It was ruled that Warner Bros. and DC Comics still retain ownership of certain aspects of Superman's character that appeared outside of the original Action Comics 1, such as the S-shield logo, the name of the Daily Planet Newspaper, the character of Jimmy Olsen, most of Superman's villains (including Lex Luthor), and Superman's established set of powers (including flight).[94] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_%28film_series%29#cite_note-93) In a related ruling, a judge ruled that Warner Brothers did not owe the families additional royalties from previous films, however if they do not begin production on a Superman film by 2011, then the Shuster and Siegel estates will be able to sue for lost revenue on the unmade film.[95] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_%28film_series%29#cite_note-94)

According to IESB, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have their sights set to release The Man of Steel on Christmas 2012.[100] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_%28film_series%29#cite_note-99)

On March 10, 2010, Christopher Nolan himself confirmed that he and Goyer have been working on an idea for a Superman film. Nolan says, "He basically told me, 'I have this thought about how you would approach Superman.' I immediately got it, loved it and thought: That is a way of approaching the story I’ve never seen before that makes it incredibly exciting. I wanted to get Emma [Thomas] and I involved in shepherding the project right away and getting it to the studio and getting it going in an exciting way… A lot of people have approached Superman in a lot of different ways. I only know the way that has worked for us that’s what I know how to do."

[A3n]

Yep that's it but not all of it. There was more about the right's reverting back to the family in 2013 & because the way WB have handled it the family said they wouldn't renew their agreement with them. Wish I remembered where it was I read that, it might have even been in a printed article.

I really hope they do Superman justice this time. Superman Returns was just lame.

Cheers

[IAmBatman]

I think the best way to make the character of Superman less lame is to, once and forever, kill of Clark Kent. Just let him be Superman. :-)
But, that's just me.
As far as if a good Justice League or Avengers movie can be done? I think yes, but it is a big challenge. I think the X-Men movies, though I found each of them to be flawed, did show that ensemble superhero movies can be done.

[Master Tang]

Well there was there was 3 good parts of that movie:
1)Superman gets shanked with a piece of Kryptonite
2)Superman takes a bullet to the eye
3)Lex Luthor being really creepy
4)Superman getting shanked with a piece of Kryptonite :twisted:

[IAmBatman]

I think what bothered me the most about Superman Returns is that Lex deserved to win.
I mean, seriously, he deserved to win.
He made an entire freaking island of Kryptonite, tricked Superman into coming there, beat Superman up with a piece of Kryptonite, and then snapped off a piece inside of Superman. And after all that, Superman was just fine and dandy in 5 minutes or less.
I mean, seriously - Kryptonite is deadly to this guy?? More like a mild allergy!
Lex got jobbed.

But..but...the villians can never win. How could they kill Superman?(yet again) Sorry couldn't be helped. I agree Bats, Lex got robbed.

WRONG!!!

Actually, that line is #5. ;)

Who wants to review Superman, Superman II, Superman III, and Superman IV?

[IAmBatman]

Here's my review ...
Superman I - instant classic in the first 15 minutes ... and then he became Superman. At that point it was ... OK. Lois was kind of annoying, but, whatever. It still would have been salvageable, even with Lex's lame ocean front property subplot if it weren't for the exceedingly ridiculous fly around the world Deus ex Machina rewrite the past ending. One of the lamest movie endings of all time.

Superman II - a perfectly acceptable movie despite all the Lois throwing herself out of buildings to try to prove Clark Kent is Superman nonsense, right up until ... they had the same exact ending as the first one!!! Seriously lame. I mean is that all Superman does? Undo history? Technically none of the events of the first two movies happened due to that ... something I think we should all remember when trying to decide whether or not to watch them. Lame.

Superman III and IV - Why would I bother after those first two?

[quozl]

I mostly agree with you about Superman I except I found Lex's ocean front property subplot funny, which I think is what they were going for.

Superman II just sucked.

In Superman III, they went for the funny again but it wasn't funny, sadly. However, there is a cool scene where Good Superman and Bad Superman battle it out in a junkyard.

Superman IV is pretty boring although it had some cool stuff with Clark going back to his high school reunion.

[Adam Souza]

In Superman III, Supes crunches a lump of coal into a huge diamond. That's just cool.

Yeah, Bad Superman in general was pretty fun.

EDIT: Maybe I should make a Bad Superman Heroscape custom. Hmm....

[Adam Souza]

True.

Although, I am easily amused with evil duplicates.

I think that this is how Superman I should have ended (http://www.howitshouldhaveended.com/videos?bcpid=51434042001&bclid=41247345001&bctid=40764626001).
I think some of the movies were meh, but they are all worth watching once, even if it's only for a good laugh.

:rofl:

[A3n]

I agree with you Bats that Lex was robbed in Superman Returns but he should never have been in the situation in the first place as Superman's computer thingy in the Fortress is only supposed to respond to him so they blew the them in the first 5 minutes. But Lex was great, Metropolis was great, & all over characters apart from Supes, Lois & her boy were great. There were some great scenes too, like the saving Metropolis from the falling glass while flying in the opposite direction (although I have to ask what happened to the people in the adjacent streets were they all skewered by the falling glass?)

And what was with the whimpy unsure Superman? That's ok for his Clark persona but come on. George Reeve played the best Superman, confident & strong. I would say the next would have to be Dean Cain. He was confident & strong with a bit of humour mixed in.

But no time travelling undo's please.

Cheers

[IAmBatman]

I liked the scene in Superman Returns where he saved the shuttle. It showed me they had the technology to make a good Superman movie ... just not the writing or acting or directing.
