Certainly looks like him.

Also, beating Arkham City made me realize what a good character the Joker is and how he is the perfect match as a villain for Batman.

I read Justice League International 1&2 today. They were fun to read. I don't really know most of the heroes, but it looks like it's set up for new readers to learn about them anyways since Booster Gold doesn't know them either. Booster Gold, Rocket Red and August-General-in-Iron seem great so far. I'm looking forward to the next issue.

Got a quick rating question for you guys...

What are the top 3 Marvel and top 3 DC villains, in your opinions, ranked by your favorite and then just by characterization. So, four lists total. I'll post mine later, I gotta go make dinner.

--
So what happened to Simon at the end of TTGL?
http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/3305/187426-after_cid_large.png

My lists.. keep in mind that I am somewhat limited in my exposure to Marvel villains except from what I read as a teenager.

DC Favorites:
1. Sinestro
2. Joker
3. Atrocitus

Marvel Favorites:
1. Mr. Sinister
2. Magneto
3. Venom

DC Characterization:
1. Joker
2. Sinestro
3. Atrocitus

There's a reason this is almost the same as my previous DC list, I love the characters because of how they are characterized. They are so well written most of the time that I think they are some of the best characters in all fiction.

Marvel Characterization:
1. I don't really remember the characterization of any Marvel villains, so I can't really do this list. Still interested to see your lists though.

I'm just glad it's funny.

I am so tired of this grimdark bull****.

--
~LtM
http://img.imgcake.com/1309914563818gifpa.gif

I wouldn't say the X-Men proper have been grimdark though... Fraction's run was terrible, but part of the reason it was terrible was that it was trying (and failing) to be funny.

just finished reading all of the #2 issues from week 4 that I am following, and with that I'll post my rankings of the New 52 so far. in total I ended up trying just a little over half of all the series DC had to offer. in the end, had to drop 3 titles. Frankenstein and Nightwing were decent enough, but I don't feel like continuing to pay to see what happens in them. Firestorm I have not enjoyed at all, it is probably the only one. lastly, Detective Comics. it didn't seem as terrible as people have been claiming but I wouldn't normally pay for it... except for the fact that I have a subscription so they're going to keep coming to my house anyway so eh, I'll keep reading them.

not sure what the general consensus on most of this is since I generally don't pay that much attention to what other people think, but, here they are

And, yeah, Firestorm. Most disappointing comic I've ever read. It's a disaster. Gail Simone should be ashamed.

Legion Lost, really?

Yeah I loved it, especially in the second issue with Wildfire narrating the whole thing. It was a brilliant way to give tons of characterization to a member of the main cast while not slowing down the pacing of the story at all.

And before I read this I was a bit hesitant to pick it up since the only Legion member on this book I really cared about was Timberwolf. This issue alone made me like Wildfire more than Timerwolf.

--

Oh yeah LtM, Hawkman is so damn gritty.

I love it. Such an interesting take on his character and I love the way he literally pays his rent with ancient alien gold.

DC ratings so far:

Flash - 4.5
Aquaman - 4
ASW - 4
Blackhawks - 2.5
New Guardians - 3.5
JLD - 4
Firestorm - 1.5

Firestorm is so terrible. How can it be this bad? It's the worst DC book right now. Seriously.

what are some good comic cartoons? I'm trying to get ny three year old nephew to watch things that aren't Cailou, Toopy & Binoo, and other annoying kids shows. I have Batman TAS, TMNT and X-Men on DVD, but what else is out there? I remember watching a few Teen Titans episodes in high school, and I followed the 90s Spider-Man cartoon, but that's pretty much it.

He loves Batman and TMNT, but we haven't started on X-Men yet. I'd just like some other options! Maybe I'm missing something cool.

I'm pretty sure only the first issue is $1.

I will not be continuing.

Superman - 3.5
Hawkman - 4
Teen Titans - 4.5
I, Vampire - 4

Teen Titans moves at a pretty great pace. Lots of stuff packed into a single issue. I think it's hurting my opinion of Aquman because of how decompressed that book is, reading them back to back.

I saw the cover for that. Harv looks pretty beefed up. I'm assuming the entire Dark Knight series is like that?

Also, just read Flash #2, Aquaman #1, Justice League #2, and Animal Man #2. All of them were really good.
