Based on the news when this rumor was first reported last month, it was said to be a 60 episode order. So it looks like:

"Season" 1 - Daredevil: 13 episodes
"Season" 2 - Jessica Jones: 13 episodes
"Season" 3 - Iron Fist: 13 episodes
"Season" 4 - Luke Cage: 13 episodes
"Season" 5 - Defenders: 8 episodes

Yeah, it was pretty clear she was supposed to be their Nick Fury that connected all the films.

Eh, I think Amanda should always be a subversive not central element in the DC Universe. Marvel's push in the last few years to make SHIELD the center of the Marvel Universe in its different incarnations makes sense for Marvel especially when the de facto leader of the Marvel superheroes is a soldier. I don't think it works as well for DC. Amanda and the corner of the DC Universe she usually lives in is cool because it's this dingy and shady corner of a world built around Superman's optimism. When you make her the center, she's a low-rate Nick Fury at best.

That's because Sandman was a DC comic at that point - and it was pretty much expected it would have crossover. Shortly after, Vertigo was created and Sandman became it's own standalone.

Was it really 4 years? For some reason I was thinking it was immediately following Preludes and Nocturnes. But I'm an old man and easily confused by shiny objects so it's not surprising.

At least MM eventually got that feeling that someone was portraying him. Or whatever that aside was.

This almost makes me want to watch AoS. Almost.

They could always turn her into the other other Captain Marvel, Spectrum or whatever her name was

Waterhaul posted:

I wouldn't really call it a proud Marvel tradition when you have SHIELD for ages and obviously the likes of AIM and MODOK and then Whedon comes along with the dumbly named SWORD and then every organisation has to be an acronym.

This is a joke, right? Transdimensional security authority?

Behold! Deathlok!!!

Madkal posted:

Harvey looks pretty good. Gordon looks.....strange to me. Any word on the time period that they are setting it in?

WarLocke posted:

Odds on Ward having the sheer balls to actually kill a bunch of SHIELD people in order to infiltrate HYDRA even though it means he's pretty much done as a SHIELD agent?

Mister Nobody posted:

Not to resurrect all the acronym talk from way back (even though that's exactly what i'm doing), but I am pretty sure SWORD as an organization preceded Whedon by a long while.

That awesome book. Seriously, y'all Secret Warriors haters are just plain wrong.

I'm going to start catching up now, last night I watched the episode about the Asgardian staff (the post-Thor 2 one), which actually wasn't too bad. Peter MacNicol is pretty rad, though.

I'd really like to see more of the Howard Stark from the Cap movie. He was great.

So I'm guessing this is basically going to be the early days of SHIELD.

zoux posted:

they are doing the Joker

zoux posted:

Ok what's the Original Writer injoke I'm missing here? Does it involve Alan Moore being a prick?

irlZaphod posted:

One question though, has Fitz left the show, or is his fate a loose thread for next season? I kinda hated him at first, but he definitely grew on me as the season progressed.

Madkal posted:

In the last few seasons of CI he put on a loooooooot of weight. I can see him being a bulky Fisk.

No one thinks she might actually just be Elektra?

I've just seen the Justice episode of Smallville and I gotta say, this show isn't nearly as awful as I was led to believe.

Lurdiak posted:

I thought the show was called Hellblazer.

Hakkesshu posted:

I always forget that Buffy was a sort of pseudo-sequel to that awful film starring Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry.

Lurdiak posted:

Well, on a personal level, I enjoyed the movie as a very goofy 90s comedy-horror and could not stand to watch the final season of the show.

zoux posted:

Buffy should've ended at season 5.

WarLocke posted:

other than the Adam cyborg thing being dumb as hell, that was S6 right?

Waterhaul posted:

It'll just be performers in the background of a club and one week it'll be "oh he has a purple suit", next time "oh he has green hair", "oh he has an assistant with blonde hair/he laughs loudly/he has a creepy grin" and so on.

Opopanax posted:

They're going to have him be someone totally unrelated who's been there the whole time, like a CSI guy or something, and pretend it's clever.

That sure is a Matt Murdock costume. Not a huge fan of the hair though.

Ton of Powers casting the last few days.

Sharlto Copley will be playing Walker.

Olesya Rulin as Calista.

Noah Taylor as Johnny Royale. I don't know who he is but he looks perfect.

Eddie Izzard as Wolfe.

Michelle Forbes as Retro Girl.


Half of those are pretty big departures from the comic depictions.

Scott Glenn has been cast as Stick in the Daredevil series.

He even looks like Stick.

In regards to Gotham I'm laughing at them combining Barbara with Kathy Kane. Also it isn't terrible.
