My Lit Lecturer used Matt Fraction's Hawkeye run to display the effect of narratology in class today. It's the first thing he's spoken about all term that I've actually read.

How good is the Punisher in Netflix's Daredevil series? "Just some guys who are about to walk into a diner for the last time." That line is so manly it could make a toddler sprout a beard.

The Justice League trailer is giving me mixed emotions. On the one hand, I desperately want to get hyped. On the other, Snyder and co have burnt me too many times in the past. I'm a conflicted mess.

What? The Lethal Weapon tv show isn't utter garbage at all, instead being an enjoyable watch. What the fuck is the world coming to?

THE KING IS IN THE HOUSE!
The ship hurdled through space at warp speed, weaving past planets and asteroids en route to it's final destination. The craft itself was black, with a metallic sheen, and had glowing violet lights. The lights on the front of the ship were arranged in a pattern of three dots, in the shape of a triangle, with the dots connected by a pair of lines, looking almost like the letter V. The ship's destination came into view, a brilliant blue planet with fragments of land and clouds visible from space. After soaring past the planet's solitary moon, the craft entered the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, at the very depths of the blue planets ocean.
"And I say again, I will not sanction this punitive raid. I will suffer no more discussion on the matter" The speaker was Arthur Curry, king of Atlantis. Sitting upon his throne, he was trapped in a long and heated debate with his top generals and politicians. Most of the Atlantean gentry in attendance were demanding a raid upon the surface world, in retaliation for the sinking of an offshore oil drilling rig, which had spewed toxic chemicals into the sea. This was just the latest in a long line of affronts that the humans had offered their under-sea neighbours, and tensions were rising. Arthur was trying to cool the tempers of his subjects, but he could only do so much in the face of human ignorance. If something was not done soon then this could all lead to blood.
"But sire. . ." began Priam, a particularly thorny general who seemed to have great trouble with listening.
"Not one. More. Word." stated the king icily, a definitive end to the discussions. Priam had enough wisdom to hold his peace after that. At least for now, thought Arthur, But I can only table this discussion for so long. Something will have to be done, and done soon. His thoughts were disturbed by a commotion at the large double doors at the opposite end of the throne room however. Two scientists from the royal Atlantean university had barged their way in, to the obvious annoyance of the guards posted at the door. They began to give chase but Arthur waved them back to their posts, intrigued to find out what had gotten the scientists in such an excitement.
"My king, you must see this!" huffed one, waving a data pad at the king, while the other stared open mouthed at the assembled Atlantean dignitary's, obviously just know just starting to realise the possible ramifications at disturbing such an assemblage. Arthur crossed towards the two and took the pad, offering a small smile to the second man to put him at ease. The king studied the pad, a growing amount of apprehension growing in him.
"What is this?"
"It is an unidentified ship sir, and it has just entered earths orbit." responded the first scientist.
A pregnant silence befell the room, as all gathered there waited for the kings to speak.
"Gentlemen," he began, turning to stride back towards his throne, and the Trident left leaning there "I'm afraid you will have to show yourselves out." A low murmur began, a mixture of excitement and disappointment. They were all well aware of the kings adventures as 'Aquaman', hero to the surface dwellers. While some seen it as a valuable opportunity to show humanity the strength of their king, others viewed it as both a worthless waste of time, especially as so many surfacers didn't seem to appreciate Arthur's abilities or contributions as much as that as other, more well known heroes.
"But sire, what is it?" asked one puzzled scientist as the Atlantean king strode out of the hall, his Trident held gently under one arm. Arthur didn't stop walking, or even turn to answer.
"Right now it's interesting, and I desire a closer look. Soon, however, it could become dangerous."

"No swords, no killing. Anymore handicaps you wanna place on me?" answered Rane wryly. Truth be told he had always been a little brutal for friendly sparring, so this was bound to get messy. Even without the Sword he still felt that the best way to win a fight was to be as savage as possible, to take the offensive and force the flow of battle into your favour. That said, if Nafi was as technically gifted as she claimed then maybe savagery wouldn't be enough.
Her bout with the sparring bot had provided no insight into her weaknesses, to be honest she had looked about as good a scrapper as Rane had seen. That meant he would have to use the opening of the fight to gauge her abilities and check for chinks in her armour.
Strutting forward he began to roll his shoulders, limbering up. As he neared her he began to dance around her, first to the left then to the right. With his right arm in a low guard he began to throw quick right jabs at her defence, probing punches more than anything else. Alright girly, lets see what you've got.

Ha Spider-man in the background just taking a load off!
And the son of Loki sows more discord amongst our heroes!

I didn't see her being a member yet, mostly so I can do her first reaction to meeting all the other heroes in person.
Ha ha I can already picture the scowl batman will be giving you at that first meeting.
And in answer to something Kl said ages ago, Hawkman's gonna hand him over some nth metal gear, which'll be badass!
I would say Robin would be on a probationary type deal. I know Aquaman wouldn't be too happy with her being a fully fledged leaguer due to her apparent inexperience.

So is he now just a human or will he able able to transform at will?
Well I was going to answer that in the Rp, but my intention is for him to still retain his super senses and to be an enhanced human physically, while still having the option to go 'full werewolf', but hesitant to do so to do the ramifications that may have.
Whelp, looks like I want be casting as much dog hair around the base anymore.
