- Why cast British actors in big roles? I once heard a good explanation for this one, the argument has to do with their experience versus… #
- …their exposure in Hollywood. They’ve developed their craft with the BBC or RSC so are experience and professional actors, but they… #
- …haven’t become “known” inside the insular Hollywood system. They’re the Holy Hollywood Grail of an “unknown”/blankslate with experience. #
- (The previous was prompted by debate following the casting of British actor Henry Cavill as Christopher Nolan’s Superman.) #

Archive DC house ads and promotional posters
Jason Liebig’s flickr photostream is a thing of wonder for a DC fan. In the 1990s he was a marketing rep for DC Comics and he has recently been uploading images of DC house ads, posters, stationary, and other rare promotional material that he salvaged from the recycling bin. A lot of this stuff probably hasn’t been posted anywhere else online.

- RIP Boyd Kirkland. The writer/director of Batman Sub-Zero and many other brilliant cartoons. Our condolences to his family and friends. #
- This cheered me up — Comics You Should NOT Be Reading: Outsiders – http://bit.ly/fh7Vcv #
- RT @Jslab425 @JLAblog Outsiders may be bad but Robinson’s JLA is abysmal! #
- @Jslab425 I’ll admit that it had an uneven start, but Robinson’s JLA has been improving slowly. Whereas Didio’s Outsiders keeps worsening. #

Synopsis “Drop Zone”
JUNE 19, 00:43 ECT - On the island of Santa Prisca the strong-man Bane and his men are being help prisoner by armed terrorists belonging to the Cult of Kobra. The Kobra soldiers tell Bane that they will leave if one of his men is able to defeat Kobra’s champion in single combat. Bane agrees and is surprised when the Kobra spokesman hands him back his weapon (a drug injector). Bane then uses it inject himself with the a red-drug (Venom) which in seconds dramatically enhances his strength and musculature. His opponent appears to be a skinny youth until Kobra’s bodyguard (Shimmer) injects him with blue drug (Kobra Venom) that transforms him into bestial monstrosity (Mammoth). Even Bane’s strength is not enough to overcome Mammoth and he is very quickly beaten unconscious. The soldiers then start chanting “Hail Kobra! Hail Kobra!”

- With so many (15) mini-series running parallel to #Flashpoint I wonder if they’ll be replacing DC’s regular titles for its duration. #
