Justice League of America and The Scarlet Witch

 

Scarlet Witch previously had a destructive meeting with The JLA along with The Vision as the main story back in STF #800...  Well, if she had a hand in destroying them there, it's only fitting that she find a way to bring them back here.  Let's hope they aren't too worse for the wear!

Power Girl and Kitty Pryde

 


When Barak Blackburn, a Patron of this Blog, Suggested I pair Kitty Pryde and Power Girl together, along with their pets, the cat lover in me could not resist. My cat Ace is quite a handful all on his own, I can only imaging the mischief he would get into if he had super powers.  Thanks for the idea, Barak!

Ms. Marvel and Green Lantern

 


Reports are that Ms. Marvel will have an alteration to her powers on her upcoming Disney+ show, as compared to the comic book version.  She is known for stretching abilities and "embiggening" her hands to make powerful fists in battle.  I don't know if Marvel thinks that looks to goofy or if the want to avoid having a stretchy hero before introducing Mr. Fantastic, but now those big fists will be realized through Green Lantern-type energy constructs.  It will be interesting to see if the comics eventually follow suit.

Batwoman and Daughters of the Dragon

 


The CW's Batwoman series has been losing even more viewers in its second season, and I'm not really surprised.  Javicia Leslie is a better actress that Ruby Rose was, but the switch in lead characters is not enough to overcome the sub-par writing on the show.  A much better take on Batwoman can be found in the somewhat overlooked Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman animated movie.   The 2003 adventure has a great identity reveal, which I won't spoil here if you have not watched it yet.

Robin (Son of Batman) and Miles Morales: Spider-Man



After my most recent Spidey-Robin 2-Parter (which began in STF #2755 and Concluded in STF #2756), there were some requests for a version of the pairing that featured Damian Wayne and Miles Morales.  Well, here you go!

The Original Spidey and Robin have had a bit of history on the blog - They first met back in my B&B: The Lost Issues days... They used the Spider-Signal in STF #2417... Batgirl joined them for an adventure in STF #938... They met when Dick Grayson became Nightwing in STF #87...  and Spidey even helped train Tim Drake to take over the Robin role in STF #838... they met when Robin was in the original Teen Titans in STF #619... and again in the New Teen Titans in STF #767...  not to mention when their successors met up in STF#529  and continued their adventure in STF #530...

Coming tomorrow: STF #2800!

Batman meets Han Solo & Chewbacca



Star Wars: The Last Jedi seemed to divide fans and critics, and I would have to say that my opinion falls somewhere in the middle.  My main issue was that the film felt bloated with some unnecessary elements.  The whole Finn/Rose/DJ subplot at the Casino did not work for me and I feel could easily have been jettisoned.  I think that the actions of Laura Dern's Holdo character should have been given to Admiral Ackbar, he deserved much better than what he got.  While I wish Luke was more proactive, old Jedis becoming hermit loners is in keeping for the series so far.  I did like the performances and action sequences (and yes, the Porgs) quite a bit, and I liked Leia's force moment more than most seem to.  Hopefully in the next installment the last remaining heroes from the original trilogy - Chewie and the Droids - get a lot more to do.

Hawkman and Nova




The Nova Corps have been established in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, so I am hoping that we'll get to see Richard Rider on the big screen in the future.  A film where Rider is already an established hero and has to show newcomer Sam Alexander the ropes would be a cool way to go.

The Atom and Hawkeye



One of my favorite moments in the 4-night CW Invasion crossover was when Cisco mentioned to Ray Palmer that he would finally have to get around to upgrading his power suit.  I have felt that it was too clunky all along and it looks like we may finally be getting a more streamlined version at some point this season on DC's Legends of Tomorrow.  Let's hope they tweak the helmet as well.

Sub-Mariner Vs. Superman



The new Superman costume which debuted with DC's New 52 has some changes that I do not care for.  I can understand the lack of red trunks, as that look is a bit outdated, but the rest of  the alterations strike me as rather arbitrary.  The high collar does not work for me at all, and I am glad the movies didn't follow suit there.  The odd lines and "S" shield shapes on his arms and legs are unnecessary and a little busy for my tastes.  I am glad that he still has the "S" shield on his cape, but wish they had gone with the traditional yellow/gold instead of black.  The new look has stuck for the time being, but I hope to see a return to a more traditional costume down the road.

Superman and Namor have crossed paths once before on the blog...
