Still here?

Based on the comic book series “Justice League of America” published by DC Comics. The film is about Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and others of the Justice League of America, an organization made up of the world’s greatest superheroes must deal with the expulsion of Batman and the death of Superman at the hands of the monstrous Doomsday.

The original spoilers I’d read mentioned the OMACs, which might be involved with Batman’s expulsion. But it also said that film opened with a funeral for the Flash (who isn’t mentioned here).

Maybe we’ll have to wait for — oh, I don’t know — the movie to actually start shooting with a finalized script.

That's a shame.

This film really needs to get done. Superhero flicks are hot, hot, hot these days.

Superhero Movies are the New Western

If by “these days” you mean the last 10 years.

I heard Kevin Kostner was going to play the Flash, but his scenes were going to be cut later.

But Sony'll Try and Re-Release His Scenes in Later

The Flash never offed himself. You’re thinking of Buffy or Morpheus Sandman.

There are Infinite Crisises in Barry Allen's head.

I’m sure there’s some mystery to the speed force that would explain why he couldn’t do it.

I'm So Glad You Dropped a Speed Force Reference

It’s more likely that if a Flash did off himself, the successor Flash would be wildly unpopular, killed off within 12 issues, and they’d bring back the offed Flash.

Of all the members of the JLA, who could kill themselves the fastest? Would it be the Flash? Just because he could slit his wrists faster, does that mean he would bleed faster?

Superhero S&M...

What if that’s how Superman got his jollies? I mean, honestly, if no one can hurt him and he’s always the bastion of truth, justice, and the American way, wouldn’t it make sense that he’d want to be punished? Or at the very least, attracted to someone who could hurt him?

Also, Batman strikes me as a cutter. I mean, he’s practically an overgrown emo kid anyway.

So with that line of thinking, that means Dustin would have a male crush on Batman and try to meet him on Meetup.com, eh?

I can go after Batgirl. Or maybe even Oracle.

In the Current Continuity

I think Nightwing’s dating her. Which — applying your attraction for paraplegics onto Dick Grayson — makes me realize that Batman really fucked up his first Robin.
