Superheroes Tonight on Robot Chicken
September 12, 2007 | 2 Comments
Above is the entirety of the episode: “Tapping a Hero” from Season 3 of Robot Chicken. The specific segment I’m hugely entertained by occurs at 7:35. Stan Lee and Pamela Anderson dish on many of the superheroes in “Superheroes Tonight”. Best of all is the section beginning: “After a long career as the Justice League’s most impotent failure, Aquaman finally has a new career…”
OK, if you hang around past the credits, you may find Stan’s explanation of the Watcher, the Punisher and the Shocker even better…
(and yes, Stan Lee did truly voice this himself)

Never Liked Wonder Woman Anyway…
February 4, 2007 | 5 Comments
Joss Whedon is officially no longer writing the script for the upcoming Wonder Woman movie.
Joss’ statement about parting ways:
We just saw different movies, and at the price range this kind of movie hangs in, that’s never gonna work. Non-sympatico. It happens all the time. I don’t think any of us expected it to this time, but it did. Everybody knows how long I was taking, what a struggle that script was, and though I felt good about what I was coming up with, it was never gonna be a simple slam-dunk.
I have to say, I love Joss, but I’m not a DC comics fan and especially uninterested in Wonder Woman. Don’t get me wrong, I love the female protagonist hero, I just think Wonder Woman is nearly as lame as Aquaman. Again though… if it’s DC, I only really care about Batman, Green Lantern, The Question, and Superman in the right doses. Admittedly… I usually enjoy the Justice League in general, but the individuals are less interesting. Back on topic though, I don’t think it matters who writes this movie, it has a high likelihood of being terrible.
Thanks to Jenny for the heads up on this.
