Too late. #ColossIvy
Meanwhile I'm rubbish with Carol and staggering with Diana.
Hey, I like your Carol. And not just because I'm a #CaptainFlash 'shipper.

I think it's because of the supporting cast. The reason I'm undecided is I haven't seen Peter take on a worthless lower tier villain yet. Also your Spider-Man is also good, the reason it's different is you're taking a more serious approach.
@GreenGrenade is fighting the Condiment King.
Clearly I've been reading too much Bronze Age Spidey where every villain gives him a run for his money. I need to whip out the old USM trades and read all the Shocker appearances.
EDIT:
Bounce's Damian al Ghul, Mord's Clark Kent, and Sam's Tony Stark
Totally agreed. These voices in particular are quite strong.
@GreenGrenade is kicking my ass on the Spider-Man front. Miles is currently way funnier than Peter.
Hopefully I come back to find we've broken through the 160 mark in the IC thread.
As my eyes passed over the "160 mark," I initially thought you meant Page 160 of the OOC. And I thought, "Damn. I know we're chatty, but does he really expect us to chug through forty pages while he's gone? After all, that's as many as four tens! And that's terrible!"
What you really said makes way more sense.
I'm with @Morden Man on that one, @Blue Demon. Once I noticed the "Rodgers" was a one-time slip, I let it slide. I mean, I've got to look up Curt Connors' last name every time I use it -- including that time -- just to verify that it's "Connors" and not "Conners." (Incidentally, I'm the same way with Connor/Conner Kent, although that's mostly because the two keep getting used interchangeably.)
Yeah, well you actually care about DC. Sep is… Sep.

Suicide Squad seems pretty light in comparison, if you ask me.
More colorful for sure. And that's really the crux of the problem: that a Suicide Squad movie looks to have a brighter palette overall than one featuring the Trinity in Metropolis.
Well, seeing as my assessment is purely based on aesthetics, I feel pretty comfortable saying the trailers have conveyed that.
My problem with the DCEU -- other than the fact that they chose that acronym and not the far more symmetrically pleasing "DCCU" -- is just that it's such a sharp tonal shift from what made DC Comics. They were always the brighter, more colorful, more optimistic of the two. Now, to carve out a unique identity, they've adopted the Snyder/Nolan-esque drab and dreary style where every shot has to be run through a blue filter. It's just hard to swallow. Like the first time you try dark chocolate as a kid. Rather than creamy goodness, it's just bitter.
Honestly, if they lightened things up a bit -- literally -- I would probably be more amenable to the story decisions.

I have a weird relationship with Laurel Lance where because I know what she's supposed to be, I feel sorry for the butchery the writers have made of her. So outside of her terrible S2 arcs, I'm pretty much always rooting for her to succeed. It's like "Bless your heart" syndrome.
