Jesus, I think the last horse just crossed the finish line.
QT, is Tintoretto named for Jacopo Comin?

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?

Assault on Arkham, Arrow, and the stinger for Batman Origins all makes me think that one of the live action movies DC have in development is gonna be the Suicide-Squad, so you might see more Black Spider in that.
Comic was alright, but from what I've seen they are just using it as broad strokes sorta inspiration.

“My God. . .” Silvertongue’s voice down the link was breathy and hoarse, the voice of someone who had seen something horrible. Volt was certain he wasn’t going to want to hear what was going on in the prison.
“Tell me,” he commanded softly, still making his way swiftly down the corridor, towards were he had heard the scream.
“It’s really not good Blondie,” Szymon said after a short pause. He sounded shaken. “Apogee is just ahead of you, she was fighting some inmates but now some cryokinetic has her on the ropes, I dunno how long she can last. But the rest of the place is a charnel house! There’s a group of guards in the armoury, besieged by inmates, but they can only hold out so long, and some walking fireball headed for the medical bay, and that isn’t even starting on the running battles through the halls. Jesus, and that’s just what I can see from here, Lord knows what else is happening.” Well, none of that sounded particularly good. If Volt got outta here the first thing he was gonna do was kick the architect of this ‘inescapable prison’ squarely in the nuts.
“Righto then,” he replied, picking up the pace as he tore through the halls. “First things first, save the damsel. Ah’m good at that. See if ye cannae get in contact with any of tha other League worthies while Ah‘m busy, keep em’ appraised of what’s going on. Divide labour, save lives.” Silvertongue didn’t even question Volt this time, or abuse him for his lack of computer sense, he just got down to trying to contact the other League members on the scene. If any other member was wearing a headpiece or headset Szymon would contact them and direct them to wherever their strength was needed most.
Volt had cleared the corner now, Apogee turning blue in front of his very eyes, Frost too busy with his latest conquest to even notice the Lighting-Slinger’s appearance. Big mistake Frosty, ma boy! Never turn yer back on Highlander! The Scotsman didn’t break his stride, instead sprinting towards the Cryo villain.
“This sure is becoming one hell of’a reunion, first Boomer now ye Frosty!” He cried as he sped forwards, long legs seeing him speed forwards. Now I think it’s been mentioned before that Volt is tall lad, 6’4” in total. Stands to reason that a fella his size would also have big feet, size thirteen’s to be exact. His plan was to introduce Frost to his size thirteen boots, forcefully. His momentum, plus his meta human hardiness and a touch of electrical goodness would all equal one very bad day for the villain.
Volt leapt feet first at Frost, blue lightning arcing from his lower body as he flew. If he dodges this ah’m gonna look mighty stupid.

Black Spider, yeah, maybe. KGBeast, not so much. He was always strictly D-list in my opinion.

A melding of the two universes would be pretty.... scary for anyone who didn't have superpowers. Also just watched Assault on Arkham. It was probably one of the best animated features I've ever seen.
I watched that recently too, finally Deadshot getting the respect he deserves.
I also watched Iron-Man, rise of the technovore last night. Lordy, that is a bad movie. I think it's funny that despite the excellent MCU, Marvel still can't make a decent animated movie, exempting Hulk Vs and Planet Hulk

Ok, in my next post I'm gonna have Silvertongue patch in any other heroes in the prison riot, so he can act as a sort of mission control. If your character has access to an earpiece or headset then feel free to use the hacker extraordinaire in your post.

Yeah, the Justice Society of America. I think they were supposed to be the group before the Justice League. But, I'm not too sure. I could be wrong.
You're on the money. They were predominantly made up of older heroes, like the original Flash and Wildcat, with some up and comers mixed in, like Star and Cyclone. Dunno what the crack with them is now as most of their roster is currently aged down, but exists in Earth 2 of the new52

Twister went down like a sack of tatties, though what else he could have expected from that encounter was really beyond Volt. After all, he was a professional, no way he was going down to some touchy-feely numpty like that.
"Thanks for the assist Volt. Doc Ock there had my number." Said Bullseye.
"Anything for a pretty lassie!" Volt quipped, before realising what he'd just said and blushing furiously. These early successes were going to his head, it wasn't like him to be confident. Cool it Casanova, thon poor lass nearly just got strangled oot five seconds ago. Sure she is'nae gonna appreciate yer clichéd lines after that. To make matters worse he could hear Silvertongue snickering down the radio.
"Uh, ah should be getting after Apogee, could be anything in there, she'll be needing help nae doubt. Ye should stay here and catch yer bearings before doing nought else. Hold this dirt until the army catches up wi us," He pressed on before he said anything else stupid, making for the prison entrance Zenith's cousin had dissapered into seconds earlier. He wanted to wait and regroup with Sonja and Hot-Rod, hell Emmanuel even, but Emily had fired off ahead on her own, and even as tough as she was she couldn't do everything on her own. No, like it or not (He was edging out for not) he was the cavalry.
"Leaving so soon Blondie? No more smooth lines to unleash on your teamates," cackled Szymon, milking the situation for all it was worth. The Lightning-Slinger was really starting to regret ever bringing Silvertongue on board for this one. He plunged into the relative gloom of the prison, emergency lighting and the sounds of distant combat doing nothing to help his frazzled nerves. He delved deeper into the warren of empty corridors, unsure of were he was going. A high pitched scream sounded off to his left, Silvertongue gasping at the discordant note, and despite his better judgement he darted off in its direction. Might nt be as bad as it sounds. Maybe someone just broke a nail. God ah hope someone just broke a nail!
The fight out in the courtyard had been bad, but this was terrifying. It was like a horror movie, each shadow hiding a potential killer. If only there was some way to know what he was headed for. When the idea came to him he couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it before.
"Silvertongue, this is a prison right? Can ye no access tha feeds or something, gie me a heads up of whats out there?" He could almost hear Szymon sigh at his ignorance of computer sciences.
"I can try, but it isn't as easy as you make it sound. If I can, and not saying I could, I could relate relevant info to you though. It is one of the most secure locations on the planet though, so I make no promises."
"Oh aye, its feeling damn secure right now!" hissed Volt in reply, but he could hear Silvertongue's fingers dancing along his keyboard as he attempted to gain admittance to the system.
